"this is not funny, it is sad."
It is funny to most people that have been in combat, or at least have been properly trained to use firearms. If you've never been a warrior for this country, or trained yourself to safely and correctly handle firearms to protect yourself, and/or family....then that is what's really sad.
You are right. I understand your point. My dh has done all you have mentioned regarding proper training and handling. It's a female thing to respond this way. For me anyway. I'm not the combat type.
respectfully,
