A gun is a tool, and like any tool can be misused; that does not make the tool 'bad' or 'evil'.<BR/><BR/>I've also spoken with- more properly 'lectured to'- about the evils of self-defense using anything other than words. People who actually believe that using force of ANY kind in self-defense makes you as morally wrong as your attacker. I just cannot wrap my mind around that garbage. I wouldn't mind them believing it for themselves, but they want me- and my daughter and everyone else- to be forced to live by their belief. Screw that. I taught my daughter to shoot originally because there would be guns in the house, and she WOULD know how to handle them properly. Later that moved into self-defense use, and it makes me feel a lot better that she's got more than words to use if needed.Firehandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562365951182027709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8459642390387718054.post-49380826940838211092008-10-13T16:55:00.000-07:002008-10-13T16:55:00.000-07:00There was a day when I realized I was completely d...There was a day when I realized I was completely defenseless against a predator. It was a rude awakening when I realized the boogeyman does exist. I wish more women would get a clue about self defense.

And I, too, got used to the anti-gun mentality, such that when I moved to Texas, I was afraid when told that Texas had concealed carry. Everyone could potentially shoot me! And the rumors, you know, in California that Texas is racist. I am not white, you see. In fact, I came to find that people in this particular town are very mannerly, and selfless. As a health care worker, I've seen two accidents involving guns, and both of them were with people who did not properly learn how to take care of or handle a gun. Ignorance is not bliss. I think gun education should be mandatory. Another aside, those two accidents were not fatal, and did not involve a dispute. The one fatal accident involving a dispute was not due to a gun, but a very hard smack to the head by a bare fist. I'd like to see politicians run on a platform to outlaw hands.<BR/>What convinced me to get my CCW license was that a man with unmedicated schizophrenia broke into an elderly couple's house in my neighborhood. He managed to stab the man of the house several times and put him out of commission, but his wife (a woman in her 70's) saved him because she was able to get her handgun out in time and shoot the intruder. How often is a schizo guy going to break into one's home? Pretty unlikely, but for just this random happenstance, she was prepared. And I am all for being prepared.Devichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15001084191602519555noreply@blogger.com
