Okay - went down to my favorite neighborhood swilling hole on Saturday night for a coupla frigid beverages...
(they don't have Shiner - sob, but I found some thanks to FMJcafe (I think), and am planning on a keg for the April Knob Creek run)
Ran into a guy who'd moved in recently, and had been coming in a bit - he's from Ireland, and interesting to talk to. He's got his girlfriend with him. She's just bought a house in a "dodgy" area of town - I witnessed drive-by there about 6 years ago. He saw my Knob Creek t-shirt, wondered what the deal was, and it looks like he'll be coming with us in the Spring - but I digress...
When I found out where his GF had bought the house, I suggested that she get a gun. She came back that she has no problem with people owning guns, and likes target shooting, but that she could never shoot someone. Not even if they meant her grevious bodily harm. In an old apartment of her's, she said she'd been burgled three times, once when she was at home, and that she'd come through that okay, so she was sure that she'd never have any problems.
The Irish guy is basically telling her that she needs a shotgun... (grin)
How the heck do you reason with someone who has their head buried in the sand up to their ankles?
