The light comes on. Of course the "other" side will want to remind this woman that with a gun in the house there is a 90% greater chance of an AD. A 90% greater chance of suicide. (Just using 90% since that seems to be what the asshats are using for everything these days.) Kind of like 90% of firearm sales are never recorded. 90% of all guns recovered in meh-he-ko came from the US(think fast and furious). Kudos to this lady for seeing the light.

Six months from now, when all of this becomes a dim memory, “Mom” will slowly return to her anti-gun feelings.

A conservative is a liberal that has been mugged.

Obviously “dad” is not a shooter, or at the least, not well-versed in firearm handling: his finger is on the trigger of that shotgun!

Tell liberals that are waking up that even if they shudder at the prospect to have a gun in the home, even if they are still opposed to have a gun in their home, that at a minimum agree to never let anyone know there are no guns in their home, Why?
Because the ‘possibility’ of a gun, just the idea of a gun in a home is enough to deter criminals.
And importantly this is why we as a society never want the government to register our guns or lack of guns. The information shows weaknesses in non-gun homes.

A NY politician said that “they say a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged, well I habe been mugged and I am still a liberal!”
A voice from the crowd yelled out “Mug him again!”.

Sadly, illegal in the People Republic of MA.
Weapons are not for self-defense, but for peasant, er, I mean pheasant, hunting.
Witness the guy who was attacked by a bear in his back yard being prosecuted by People’s Republic.

I know lots of veterans and there is not one of them that I am afraid of with a gun. Which groups have shown that we should watch out for them? Islamist, at least the “radicalized” seem dangerous to me. What do the Arizona shooter, Columbine high school terrorists, Sandy hook, and many other murderous acts have in common? Democrat parents are a commonality.

“First, a confession: Ive never owned a gun. I never wanted one in my home..........”
She sounds apologetic, I have absolutly no problem with that whatsoever, I could care less. If thats what someone chooses to do. Thats the difference, gun people dont care if you own a gun or not but Anti gun people want to stick their nose in my buisness and take mine away.

To be fair, she’s hardly a Rachel Maddow type. Everyone BUT her in her family has had/used guns so this isn’t quite the long leap imagined. She just wouldn’t touch them because she was squeamish about hunting.

Witness the guy who was attacked by a bear in his back yard being prosecuted by Peoples Republic. Reminds me of the mountain lion attacks in California. Most are pre-programmed to die unarmed and watch others in horror.

There’s a 1270% chance that most of those statistics are made up.

During all these gun control arguments, we always ran into those “I’m a gun owner, but [fill in the anti-gun argument] posers.
Not sure here, for these “scales fell from my eyes” articles have the same “but . . . “ feeling to them, only for our side. However they will always find a sale-able market, and if true, she is another welcome immigrant from The Dark Side.

Periodically I see these “The light dawned” (or in most cases a slight glimmer penetrated the stygian darkness of the anti-gun mind). Who cares? Some moron had a cosmic ray hit a brain cell and logic rather than emotion bubbled to the top for a femtosecond. It won't last.
To me people who aren't anti-gunners and who haven't been anti-gunners and in all likelihood won't ever be anti-gunners are far more worthy of being listened to. Screw this wimpy bed-wetting idiot and to hell with her thoughts. They aren't worth examining.

Nice article, and thanks for posting. The difference between a "shelter in place" with a firearm and without one is the difference between living in fear of an criminal and him living in fear of me. I prefer the latter.
It's a good thing the author didn't post this directly to FR, though. Nobody around here has any opinions on home defense weaponry. ;-)
To: from occupied ga
Agreed. The *feeling* she had won't last.
At one time, I thought I would *protect* my neighbors as myself, if something serious went down. After I have seen what these LIEberals have in mind to do to me, I have had an epiphany too....I'll stand by and watch from a distance. F 'em.
