Gun rights for accident-prone mom shot down by kids

[SecularMotion]

So this old hippie and CPA (certified peace activist) recently decided to get a gun — you know, for protection against crazies like the Hamburglars, Dexter, fanatical cult members and Donald Trump.

I kid. I kid. Dexter was the good kind of murderer — he only killed the bad guys.

I called my son out East — whose occupation revolves around working with guns. I knew he would be thrilled to hear that his mother, a pacifist who would not even buy him squirt guns when he was a child, wanted to buy a gun.

“Hey, I have decided to buy a gun. What do you recommend and can you show me how to use it?” I asked him over the phone.

1. Cute piece. Amazing people like that manage to do REALLY difficult things like raise kids!

Person has to know their limitations.

3. Just as some guns "just go off",

some kids "raise themselves". And come out ok.

I think I know this mom, or someone just like her.

Anyway, yes, cute story.

2. another day and more

Cut and paste posts.

I see you got Google working again. You have to be right up about 100 posts in this group without commenting and discussing them. I think that might be close to a delicious meat product.

4. I know it sounds sexist, but I can't help but recommend a revolver for females.

Sure they're low on capacity (usually 5 sometimes 6) but they're pretty much idiot proof. The very first point and click device is still a great option for self defense.

My wife still chooses to carry her 642 with CT laser, even though I have several higher capacity options with better ballastics.


It's always wise to have at least one way to protect/save the lives of yourself and your family.

6. My sister and sister-in-law both chose SAs for their first.

I had more of an impact on the sister, I recommended a P99 9mm. She's into it enough to want to shoot it a lot, and take classes, etc..
Her friend mentioned his wife's recent purchase of a Ruger LCR - seemed like a good choice too.

The in-law used to be a hippie much like the one in the story (not accident prone though), but since 9-11 has evolved into more of a woman of the wilderness type.

5. Betting those conversations never happened.

7. A good humorous read.

I doubt any of that actually happened, but it is a fun read.
