People without gun knowledge are a danger to themselves and others.

I have a personal story: My wife is afraid of gun shots, thunder, fireworks and has refused to learn to fire a gun.

Her mother, sister and young niece were visiting when I had to take a business trip to the state where my mother lived. My wife went with me to visit. At some point the power company called and left a message that the power would go out at early evening for some work. My wife’s mother, sister and niece did not hear the message. When the power went off they panicked and called my wife. She told them where to find loaded guns in the house and did not tell me about it at all. So we have people wondering around in a strange house in the dark with loaded guns and probably fingers on the trigger and no gun safety experience at all.

I only found out when I found they had not put the guns back in the right place. Could they have defended themselves...NO. They were lucky they did not kill themselves.

Omg MtmClimber!

Don’t leave these ladies alone. It’s ok that they do not know, but that places an extra responsibility on you.
