interesting convo with mum about guns
Me: Didn't Grandpop keep his firearms from the Navy?
Mum: Why would he need to have a gun on the ship?
Me: gee, I don't know,mum, maybe if his ship was taken by the enemy, he could defend himself trying to escape?
me: Mum, we have the right to protcet ourselves..
Mum: we pay them to protct us.
Me:not really, we cannot expect them to protect us 24/7/365. We must take the iniative to arm and protect ourselves. The police are not telling you to shoot an intruder, but you can hold him a t bay till the police get there. Though, if you shoot him in the legs, or non fatal shot, he can turn around and sue, so if he does advance, shoot to kill.
