Who Needs a Gun?

A kind police officer recommended that I buy a gun a few years ago...and I took his advice realizing  that "when seconds count, the law is just minutes away".   This first gun was a 38special revolver that I got off of my brother.  It was a good, safe introduction to firearms that I would recommend. 

I have since bought a few more guns, but I am not a gun guy in any way, shape, or form.  The most important thing you need to know--and this comes up in just about every conversation with a gun owner--is that you have to secure your weapon.  You don't want your weapon to end up in the hands of someone who could misuse it.

I know there is a lot of heated debate over gun ownership, but the thinking is counter-intuitive at times.  We seem to trust people with badges or uniforms with guns but not people without badges or uniforms...forgetting that PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE.  Why do we do this?

Something noteworthy is the CCDW license, if you need some added training.  It could be good or bad because the law will know you could potentially have a weapon on you.  As long as the law obeys the law, you should be okay though.  In my thinking, trust is something an individual must earn and I have several friends in law enforcement I trust.

Mostly for me, I use my guns for target practice.   It's "loads" of fun.  Here's a short clip of my mom shooting.  She loved it!
