This kinda stuff just doesnt happen around here!" well holy crap! it just did! also, I dont let anyone scare me away from where I live, if you want to run to the so called "safe place" its up to you, I live here although I know its not the greatest place and my kids know how to survive here if needed (yes, that includes how to safely handle, clean, load, and shoot all the weapons in my home) but they also learned how to stay in school and become who they want to become and live just about anywhere they want to live, remember, what doesnt kill you makes you stronger, hidding your children from the truth doesnt make it any less real just makes them weaker and more of a target is all.
I'm not saying stuff never happens around here. Just that the odds of me getting into a situation where I might need a gun to defend myself are extremely low. I've made the decision that I'd rather play the odds than carry a weapon with me all the time and take on all the responsibility and risk that goes with it...not to mention the fact that it's ILLEGAL.

I don't even know where you're going with the "hiding your children from the truth" comment. Who's hiding their children? What truth am I hiding?

I'll take my son to the range when he's older...maybe around 10-12 years old.
