Yeah, like I said we were making progress. Jr. and I were planning to go to the shooting range with brother-in-law.
Hasn't come up since "the event."
I am sure my attitude towards guns has had a lot to do with being raised in a hunting family. And a family where safety was enforced at an early age. I know what guns do. And I know you gotta beat kids sometimes to teach 'em how to respect 'em. Somehow, I think folks that aren't raised where guns are part of the normal everyday existance are at a disadvantage in a lot of things.
You know the whole mama instinct of protecting the kids? I just don't think I could adequately feel I had my kids in my protection if I hadn't had firearms in the house "just in case." And I taught the girls to use 'em... "just in case." It made me feel more secure... not any danger for 'em. But, if you aren't raised that way, and you haven't had violence in your life where you *wished* you had that gun to protect... I don't know how else you get to that point.
