I appreciate your post. In fact I will print this out and give to persons, even some males.
Not having a wife or any kids of my own , I have had in the past. My old posts reflect my experiences with them.
"Family" if that is what they are...Mom physically can't do a handgun, where she works is an area where no guns are allowed.Mom is the only family I recognize btw. The "dad" has in the past - not really into and he spent years in the Nat'l Guard, and was a great shooter with anything he shot - so I heard...he wasn't around much, I have only seen him shoot maybe twice in my whole 49 yrs of living.
Sibs- ha... On ebrother I paid for the CCW lessons, and found him a deal on a CCW weapon, last time it was fired was years ago, now it sits in the safe, probably unloaded. Have a sister crazier than a road tick, and just "dumbs" her way in life. Another Brother at least keeps one loaded up at home and taught his wife how to use it. He can't carry on the job either.
I can't be related to these folks, or I rec'd the only/most all of the firearm genes in the family.
"Family" didn't know I carried for sure except mom. A recent situation occurred and some family were educated to the fact I do - and good thing I was.
I made it real clear years ago when THEY made some decisions. Don't call me if you wake up dead from being stupid, I don't want to be a pallbearer, ( done enough burying of folks already) and hate funerals and weddings. I'm gonna be real pissed if Mom or the neices or nephews get hurt because of stupidity on their part.
I have taught folks to shoot, kids and ladies I really enjoyed. Some I met because as pax stated , wanted to learn more about being responsible. Some were not raised in such enviroments, some the husbands talked down to them and "they were suppposed to protect the family" - BS. Control and John Wayne syndrome gets folks hurt and killed- even wives and kids. John Wayne syndrome does a lot things, like miss targets at 5 yds.
I associate with like minded folks, best can. Gets difficult to do sometimes with all the stupid folks running around , " related to" and "have to" be around at times.
