Hi there, Ron! You pointed out such sensible tips here. Gun ownership does require a lot of responsibility and discipline from a person. You should not only know how to actually use a gun, but how to keep it safely away from others and from situations where safety may be jeopardized, at the same time be conscious of the consequences should the time arise when you actually use it.

There’s just something about guns that don’t fit well with me these days. I guess it’s the mommy in me that’s talking here. My husband has owned a gun since I met him almost a decade ago. When we got married and moved in together, his gun was never much of a problem to me. But as our little girl is now growing up fast and is becoming more curious by the day, I’m getting more and more worried. His safety box does not seem adequate for me anymore. Any tips?

Every gun owner should be aware of these. Most people buy guns saying it may be helpful for self-defense later on. But, actually, they really haven’t thought about what it’s like to actually use a gun to defend yourself and your loved ones. It isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Really great post!

According to Kevin Baker’s “Smallest Minority” length-of-post standards, this post’s length should only have gotten you through an introduction.

As with his posts, you have left me wanting more. Congrats.

Econ-Scott, I’m not sure I have any advice on how to keep a shotgun in your car. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal in Calf too. And if it is in your trunk there is no getting to it fast.

As for finding a lawyer, I think there was a comment on Kim’s post suggesting you contact the NRA for a referral in your area. If I find some good advice on that, I’ll do a post on it.

I live in the most populous state, due to illegal immigration. Kahleefornistahn.

I also don’t anticipate using a weapon on a goblin, but would. We live in a very upscale canyon, (we’re the poorest here) with only one way in and one way out. It’s called a moat and drawbridge community by the local leftist sociologists.

We have a lot of lawyers here too, for every conceivable need and then some. 10% of the nations population, and 30% of the nations lawyers. I work with them daily.

“How to find a good Lawyer” ahead of time would be a good follow on topic.

I got here from Kim du Toit’s website. I don’t anticipate pulling a gun or using one. But we’re prepared and I would. I can think of five time’s recently when it would have been nice to have one. The cops all had semi-auto .308 rifles out on the street and we exited quickly.

We visit my son, his first good job out of college, 4 guy apartment in the Bayview district of San Francisco, it’s the area the street gangs used to stab shoot and throw their rivals off the piers. Illegal to carry any weapon there. Like England, only the bad guys have them. I anticipate trouble every time we go there. These four guys, all former athletes now at work have decided to move when the lease is up. I wished they had that figured earlier.

I keep the boy’s guns at my house for now. But I would appreciate advice on keeping a shotgun in the trunk of a car and how to get to it in trouble. It would be a cheap old pump gun since if you ever pulled it here in defense, the cops would confiscate it and you’d never get it back.

Your advice please, …. Faster please.

Linked here from Kim DuToit’s…interesting post, which reiterates what we were taught during our CCW classes.

There’s an excellent book by Joel Rosenberg and a few others, “Everything You Wanted to Know About (Legally) Carrying a Firearm in Minnesota”. While some of the material is MN-specific, I can highly recommend it as general reading for anyone contemplating the use of lethal force in self-defense.
