Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt keep a gun in their house to protect their family.

The couple would do anything for their children - Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, and two-year-old Shiloh - and wouldn’t hesitate shooting someone if they tried to harm them.

Angelina - who is pregnant with twins - said: "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I’ve no problem shooting them.

"I bought original, real guns of the type I used in Tomb Raider for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. I’d be able to use it if I had to."

As well as firearms, Angelina insists she is more than capable of tackling any assailant with her self-defence skills.

She added: "I tend to want to throw an elbow - I don’t know why. I’ve learned all the punches, head-butts and kicks - yet getting someone with my elbow is my first instinct."

Fight training

Angelina, 32, and Brad, 44, are keen for their children to learn how to protect themselves when they get older - because the Tomb Raider actress believes everyone gets into a fight at some point in their lives.

She said: "I think it’s good for anybody to learn a skill when it comes to fight training - be it kung fu, boxing or kick-boxing. Brad and I want our kids to learn it.

"They’re going to get into a fight some day, so they might as well learn how to take care of themselves." - Bang Showbiz.com

So someone in Hollywood is actually for self defense of their own home and loved ones with a firearm.... hard to imagine.

Indeed, were her and brads salary she could afford a entire battalion of Blackwater mercs.

They are definitely Mrs and Mr. Smith. I bet Brad has a .50 Browning in his underground backyard.

as well all good families should do.... have a hand cannon to protect themselves

If they had any liking whatsoever for their kids they would have given them "real" names,... Maddox,.... Pax,... Zahara... and Shiloh???

Maddox=Crazy bullock.
Pax+ 6 Packs
Zahara= That's a desert somewhere in North Africa ain't it?
Shiloh = Shyster.

Whatever happened to Robert, John, Margaret or Freddy? I guess the parents must really need the "look at my kids" factor.

Simply geographical locations of conception, that's all. You don't get 'realer ' than that. No basis whatsoever for dismissing their devotion to their children.

Yeah, that's why I called both my kids Bed.

I think my last comment was nearer the truth.

Well, I guess some people are far more judgemental than others, having a very high regard only for their own attitudes.

Great.
I'll name my kids after different kinds of NBC equipment.
