I'm a little bit of an extremist when it comes to it. I have a very very small consceince when it comes to the scum of the Earth that decides they want to come into your house and take what you own, or take what you own from wherever it might be. My woman seeing that doesn't help our situation with her being not super pro-gun. But, I'm definitely working on her. After the Hurricane Katrina ordeal, she wanted me to take her shooting. Guess it takes a real life situation to realize the cops aren't around for you all the time. We have been in fights where you could boil water off our foreheads from the tension and screaming about it. She doesn't find it humorous when I tell her things like "Well, when someone breaks into your house to rape you, you tell him to wait 3-7 minutes for the average response time from the cops. Let's leave out the fact that the cop has to still get into your house, and stop the situation before you get raped or killed." I am very common sense about it, and she is slowly coming around. She laughed when I told her what I was gonna tell her roommate that called me a redneck for having a gun. The response to her roommate was gonna be "Well, if someone comes in the house tonight, I will be sure to point my gun at him, tell him I refuse to be a victim, but there is a lovely young lady up there that has no means of protecting herself. So just leave me alone, and you can go up there." But, I didn't think that would help the tension with her roommate already not liking me.
My woman finally said that when she turns 21 she will consider getting her own firearm, to which my response was "that's great, just tell the burglars/rapists/murders to wait until you're 21." Dumb move on my part, but whatever.
I was honestly going like this :banghead: after this last hurricane. She wanted me to come over, and I informed her I would be bringing my gun. She told me "Well, since you ahve to bring that thing with you everywhere." The whole reason she wanted to go shooting was because of hurricane Katrina. Apparently she doesn't think the area she lives in in Tampa has the type of people that would loot, rob, and rape. :banghead:
