Anyone up for a good debate about guns in the houses? Any thoughts? How many of you have them for protection??
Hubby had 2 when I met him ......... I dont remember what kind they are...... I think they are the ones the cops carry, but I could be wrong? They are black and are automatics, I think? Anyways, the one is underneath the matress, just in case a lunatic tries to break in & hurt one of us. I was talking to my dad earlier about something, which brought up the issue, and he was like "well, i'm not crazy about that gun being in the house." Now, I am sorry, ok, I understand he is just watching out, but it is my life, and having it in the house makes me feel protected. And, I told him that. He was in the military, and I guess where it comes from. (anothe reason why I can never tell him something because he's always got to have the last word) It's not like I pick it up and play with it. I don't even go near the thing.
Speaking of guns, the woman who is a lead at my new job, had a tragedy result of a gun. I feel sorry for her. She lost her 14 yr. old son a month ago, I guess him & a friend were 'tossing' it around, and he got shot in the back. The friend said it was an accident, but she doesnt believe it because friends dont shoot each other, which she made a good point, and I guess it is being investigated now. The friend is in jail. What gets me, and she also didnt understand, is there was no media coverage.
Now, let's start the debate!
