Girlfriends and owning a gun
I dont own a gun and I am not currently living with my fiance. Although, within the next few months things will be changing and so will my address.
I will be moving into my new house along with my fiance.
She is firm on the issue that guns can end up in the hands of children resulting in death She hears stories of children finding a gun and curiosity takes over. She has never shot or even held a gun before.
How do I persuade her otherwise. How do I help edge her over into realizing that having a gun in the house is for safety.
I am trying to take her to a shooting range so she can actually shoot one and realize she has control over it and not vice versa. Maybe she might even enjoy shooting one.
Since we have no kids, the gun shouldnt be an issue until four or five years from now. I just dont like the idea of being in a newly constructed house in a remote location without protection. Armed response will not save me in five minutes or less and neither will cops.
Any suggestions besides the shooting range idea?
