is evidently an anti. I had a problem with something after I moved in and she came in to check it out.
"You can't have THAT here!" *points to the gun on my desk*
"Well, sweetie, it's owned legally, I'm legally licensed to carry and own it, and any time I'm away from home, it's on me or locked up in a safe."
"But.. guns KILL people! And it's ILLEGAL for college students to own guns!"
Oh lord.
Needless to say, I spent about 20 minutes educating her on the laws, firearms in general, and safety. I pointed out that with me living here, as a law-abiding gun owner, she can sleep safer (she lives upstairs from me).
I also showed her this site, told her that she can get a license to carry, she can own one for not very much money, and that she's welcome to come to the range with me any time and I'll gladly teach her how to handle, shoot, and clean a gun. I also unloaded and cleared the weapon (YOU HAD THAT THING LOADED?!?!?!?!?!) and let her look at it.
Long story short, once she realized that it wasn't just going to go out on its own and start shooting (I told her I spanked it last time it went out, and took it's driver's license away) she thought it was pretty damn cool.
We're going to dinner tonight and the range tomorrow 8)
