Hi Jackie:
I agree with you. I was raised around guns and rifles from the time I
was born. I also knew that if I touched one of them I wouldn't like
what would happen. :) My dad also taught all of us at a very young age
how to handle, and shoot them. And instilled the thought that if you
point one at someone or something it is to kill, not for any other
reason.
They were never loaded, and all had locks on them too. So even if we
had gotten a hold of them I don't think we could have been hurt, or hurt
anyone else.
Personally I don't like guns to be around here. There are some, but not
because I want them here that is for sure. None are loaded, all are
missing a part of the firing mechanism, locked, and the ammo is locked
away in a completely separate place. All are registered. So actually
they are completely useless for protection.
If they outlawed guns, I would not be in the less bit unhappy about it.
But as long as they are legal, people who own them should be responsible
and not have them where a kid can get them, or anyone else for that
matter.
Personally I will stick with my dog. She is actually better than any
gun, IMO.
