Well yes I will agree that it might be that she does not trust me. I told her that sign was illegal and she still said she was scared of getting arrested that day. She doesn’t believe any statistics I tell her even after I tell her they are from the FBI.
And it might be that SHE doesn’t think SHE can handle a gun so NO one should handle a gun (the old “only cops are trained to carry guns� ha yea right that’s why cops shoot more bi-standers every year. Let us not forget “I’m the only one in this room qualified to use the Glock 40 ….BANG.)
She’s had a friend shoot himself while “cleaning a gun�. Yes I know its impossible to shoot yourself while cleaning your gun, the first step is removing all bullets from the gun, it would be pretty hard to clean any gun with a bullet in the chamber. And a friend killed in a domestic dispute. She doesn’t even want to be around guns. I have rifles and she’s fine with those “cause they are for hunting�, so I didn’t think anything about buying a pistol and getting my CHL. In all fairness I probably didn’t handle it right and triggered a defense mechanism. I guess I should read http://www.jpfo.org/ragingagainstselfdefense.htm more.
We broke up the other night cause I told her I was going to carry 24/7 and since she can’t stand being around guns she couldn’t stand being around me. Later we got back together with her understanding that I will have guns and she seams ok with that for now. We’ll see what happens. I do love her. And I can kinda understand her feelings toward guns after losing a few friends to them but she needs to separate the tool from the action.
