Yep. Well, not at my place, but at my parents'.
Fun fact: The pool in your backyard is more likely to kill your child than a firearm in your house.
Never heard it put that way before.
Lots of toddlers do drown. I was raised in a world where striking a teacher was unimaginable. In a age when gun rights came long before driving rights.
No I don't own a firearm, which is normal in Denmark.
I was just thinking, if there were the same craze in the media everytime somebody got killed in a car accident, as when somebody is killed by a firearm, do you think cars would be banned?
No way I could ever own a gun.
I know several techniques for disarm and defend against a gunman. Can handle everything from revolvers to rifles.
My husbands cousins daughter drowned in a backyard pool. She was three. I will never own a backyard pool.
Krav Maga/Hisardut has some really phenomenal techniques to handle gun disarms. I was amazed when I started looking into it. Far too many of the usual MA disarms will get you shot.
Proves my point: I don't pick my best friends by their religious or political affiliations. ;-) And thank God you don't either.I do indeed own a Sig Sauer P232.
ADR was absolutely shocked. I think her exact response was "you're too much of a left winger to have that thing!" I grew up in the south. Like you, WD, gun rights came before driving. I grew up with guns in the house. Everybody I knew had guns when I was growing up. We learned early not to point the business end of a gun at anything or anyone unless we planned on pulling the trigger and dealing with the aftermath.
Yes, I can and will use it to defend myself. It's not academic for me. Fortunately, the cops came and took the guy away before he managed to actually get in my house and get his stupid ass shot. He was in my sights, the safety was off and I was ready to pull the trigger while he tried to force different doors and windows open. It was a pretty scary experience.
