This weekend we had some friends over. One of the people that came over is a friend of my wife's. I really don't like or dislike her. Myself and some buddies were talking about all of us getting together at one guys place and shooting all day and having a BBQ that evening. My wife's friend walks up and says to me "you don't really have guns in this house you have kids". I said yes I do and later this summer I am going to buy my son a rifle.(he is 7 and has been shooting his red rider for 4 years) she about fell over and then went into a 30 minute rant about what a horrable parent I am. Luckly my wife looked over and saw my red face and came over to see what was going on. She defused the situation before it got to bad. I would have loved to tell her off, but with a house full of people that wasn't the time to do it.
I grew up in a gun free household. Not the my parents are against guns they just don't have the intrest in them. I have taken my dad shooting a few times and he says it's ok. He would rather be golfing or working on one of his street rods. I am looking for advice from my dads on here. How should I handle a situation like that if it comes up in the future? I wanted to tell her off. My wife offered to take her shooting sometime just the two of them. I told the wife the next time she is coming over to give me some warning. So I can have my son in the backyard shooting his BB gun. Any advice would be great.
Thanks
