Part two of "Heidi Carries A Gun", the series that began on the Ms. Magazine blog a few weeks ago.

I tagged it humor, because it is, may places, kind of funny. Maybe not "ha ha" funny, but "shake your head in dismay" funny.

It's all about Heidi's fears and anxieties, and about how all this makes her feeeel. There's very little of it that I believe actually happened.

I knew going into my 30-day experiment of living with a gun that I was putting my family and myself at risk.

She's decorative, but vapid. I wouldn't want to reproduce with her. And I notice that she's regurgitating the egregious Kellerman's long-since discredited "Gun is 43 time more likely to hurt you than a bad guy" idiocy.

She doesn't need a gun.

She needs a psychologist. Or a priest. Or a redneck friend.

that was the greatest example of furiously typing to meet a deadline and convey a lopsided slant I have ever seen.

How about rewriting the entire article except where she says "gun" put the word "abortion" in and see how hilarious it becomes?

She’s one of those airheads who leaves her kids in the hot car because she “forgot”.

Heidi only proves the point that stupid people shouldn't have guns.

When someone breaks into their house and is raping their teenage daughter, let them pick up a phone and call the police. They'll be there in plenty of time.... to take down your information and start looking for the perps.

If they're still alive.

Interesting how liberals moralize the inanimate, like guns or profits.

On the other hand, an unborn baby is inanimate - a blob of tissue with no value or moral aspect.

Thoughts raced through my mind and I pondered how I’d just straddled the fine line between being a responsible gun owner and an irresponsible idiot whose 15-year-old just accidentally shot himself or someone else with my gun.

'tweren't no straddling about it Ms. Yewman. You ARE an "irresponsible idiot."

Heidi, Heidi, Heidi, you just have a VERY lazy gun.

If she’s that dingy I wouldn’t trust her with a car either.

Heidi is quite irresponsible. Having possession of a gun for a month did not make her more responsible.

Information is SO easy to come by had she been so inclined. Then she would have had a real story.

http://www.thecorneredcat.com <<< GREAT INFO on website & in Kathy Jackson’s book (If you have to fight, fight like a) “Cornered Cat”.

Btw, Kathy is a firearms instructor in Seattle, WA — Heidi is in WA as well. What a wasted opportunity, Heidi.

“Panic set in as I realized my teen son was playing videogames just 10 feet away.”

Either she failed to instruct her family in gun safety before she brought it into the house, or else she believes it would magically leap from her purse and attack her son, or she has a kid who goes riffling through her purse when she isn’t looking...in any case, the gun itself is not the problem here.

Dear Ms Yewman:

Ignorance is not bliss, it’s, well, ignorance. Don’t be ignorant.

Sincerely,
Mad

That’s not a Glock in her purse. I think she’s just another lefty scheisser.

I’m willing to bet between her and her closest friends, there are a lot of dead baby souls crying out to God 24/7 for justice.

Nobody knew I had it on me, but it made me suspicious of everyone.

So an inanimate object is controling her thoughts. That could indicate a common problem with left wing nut jobs.

I’m just a mom who wanted to see what it felt like. Now I know.

No. She was a person with an agenda trying to prove something with predictable results.

I have no more sympathy for unarmed victims. I do not care if they do or do not own/carry a gun and I don’t care if they die or worse because they chose not to. Frankly, I feel we’re better off without them anyways. Once they decide they need to foist their misguided views onto the rest of the country, however, It’s another story entirely.

Dear Heidi,

Carrying a gun is not for everyone. I don’t carry one either. I own a number of them, but I choose not to carry them in public. My guns are to defend my home and my freedom should the need to do so arise.

I do carry other self defense items in public, but that is my choice. I respect your choice, Heidi, and I expect you to respect my choice, Heidi, and I also expect you to respect the choice of those who do carry guns in public.

The is a free country, and guns are legal.
