(46,436 posts)that make them feel the necessity for a gun but I personally have never been that afraid. I've been through enough turmoil in a past marriage to know that I would have been MUCH more paranoid if there had been a gun in the house. I might be dead by now. (I'll give him that; he had enough sense not to keep a firearm around here.) In my life, it has been more advantageous to my health and safety to be a peacemaker.
I have a lot of friends and relatives who hunt, and I have absolutely no problem with that as long as they use care with their weapons. My own brother died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound when he was 15 (I was 7), so I would hope that people would learn how to shoot from someone who knows, and be extremely careful.
Don't drink and hunt. People end up getting pissed off and shooting their buddies fairly often up here.
