Child of gun enthusiast...

[wig]

A gun has little or no purpose day to day in your home, except for protection from other people with guns because everyone has one.

Nice play on words, but I do not think self protection by gun requires the other person to have one.

Beyond that, most "gun enthusiasts" have more than one gun, which is even more useless and dangerous.

guns represent value in something and hold there value better than most things you buy that are "purpose" items. To use the term "useless' is misleading at best.

As for the protection theory, aren't you suppose to store the gun and the bullets seperate? Doesn't that make it sort of useless for protection (someone breask in, you ask them to wait while you go downstairs to put the bullets in your gun?)

In Georgia and Texas (where I have held CCL), you do not have to maintain them separate. I have a loaded 45 in my truck that stays there. There is also a loaded 38 in my console. We keep a loaded 9mm in the bed stand. The rest of my guns are in my safe.

btw, we never lock ou vehicles or the doors to our house unless we am leaving town. When I am gone, my wife locks the doors and feels safe with her gun in the bed stand, loaded.

Sorry, the kids got what the parent SHOULD have got... and I hope that parent suffers greatly emotionally and legally for having a firearm in the house.

I thought this story was a joke? Nice thought, though.
