Jeff doesn’t get it. To be honest, I don’t like guns. They’re loud, they’re heavy, my skin sticks to the holster. The only thing that I like less than carrying my pistol is feeling vulnerable when I’m not carrying my pistol. Ideally, I’d like to wake up tomorrow to a totally safe world where I didn’t feel like I needed to carry.
Going to the range every so often to keep from getting rusty is to me an awful lot like having to to replace a garbage disposal. I confess that I don’t like my pipe wrench very much either. I’d also like to wake up tomorrow to a world where plumbing never malfunctions and I could put those tools on the curb as well.
Point being, that you don’t have to join the enthusiasts club to realize that a firearm is a useful tool that can potentially save your life.
His wife won’t let him own guns. That is grounds for divorce. I don’t believe in divorce, but a wife who prohibits her husband from doing all he can do defend the lives of his family, is just grounds for divorce.
Guns are scare? No they are not. People are scary. Jeff needs to watch drivers leaving a bar at closing time if he wants scary.
Guns are just tools. Not scary at all. Liberalism is a mental disorder, which is why liberals fear inanimate objects like guns and SUVs.
Hey, that's my fantasy.
Get out of my brain!
Jeff’s approach is like telling her “I want a set of gold clubs” without having played the game.
First, he needs to tell her “I want to try some target shooting” instead. He could then painlessly build range time using borrowed or rented weapons. After a while, asking for purchase of a gun would be seen as a natural outcome of the range time.
My wife is (thankfully) the opposite of the author’s. Once, I was contemplating the purchase of a dedicated gun safe and for whatever reason, she was trying to talk me out of it. At one point I laughed, saying, shouldn’t we be having this conversation in reverse?
Jeff needs to grow a pair and be a man instead of a sissified metrosexual. No way in hell I would permit my wife to dictate anything to me.
