LOL! I don't like people who are militant on either extreme .... about guns, about politics, about just almost anything! No, highly unlikely that I would be strongly opinionated about mu guns.<br /><br />I love the Shih Tzu story!! That is cute! And as for my guys, I have a pretty safe system here, including a teenage neighbor girl who comes down and check, then closes the house if I'm late getting home. Pretty good deal. :)Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-24009061060778273192012-09-04T20:17:02.100-06:002012-09-04T20:17:02.100-06:00Dakota, it's not an easy decision, is it, espe...Dakota, it's not an easy decision, is it, especially with children in the house. I think you need to talk with Vicki and others who know guns. As you say, living in the country makes a difference. I look at it this way .... if the guns are in the house, every adult should know how to handle them, how to care for them, and how to safely store them. For me, until I could shoot them, there remained some fear and my handling of them was uneasy. And the thought of needing to use one without knowing what I was doing really worried me. I feel better about it all now. I'd say go ahead and learn. Informed is better in almost all situations. Good luck!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-38395149763247454432012-09-04T20:10:05.528-06:002012-09-04T20:10:05.528-06:00Boy, I hope it works out for you guys!

I've used a lot for my physical therapy.

Don't believe I've ever shot a gun myself, though I've been with others hunting up north. Just so long as you don't become one of those who are militantly political about their guns. Can't handle those types well.<br /><br />I thought about you the other day because a friend of my wife had her schit-zu (sp?) escape the house and run away. Then while the friend was on vacation, the dog came home, following a neighbor's cat. Isn't that something? Hope your dogs are all remaining safe and secure, especially with a BIG cat roaming about.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-30765599982293646902012-09-04T14:35:19.932-06:002012-09-04T14:35:19.932-06:00Inquiring minds..... :)

She owns a few and has brought them into our home now. She is a former marine and quite the sharpshooter. Casey and I were both against guns and planned on never having them around. Things change though, and Vicki and I (and Casey and Stephanie, for that matter) do live out in the country now. She wants me to learn, and I probably will, and will also probably enjoy it. Still, the idea of guns bothers me....but then, a lot of humanity in general bothers me. Guess there is a reality piece there that has to be considered. <br /><br />Glad you are enjoying yourself!

He just took a week off a couple of weeks back when Ginny came up from N.C.<br />I think his plan is to take a week off for Christmas and our Anniversary which is Dec. 29th. He's wanted to do this for years but something always comes up usually a surgery. We're keeping our fingers crossed this time. I don't even remember the last time we were together on our Anniversary.<br />Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-30169170771867755692012-09-04T07:00:28.981-06:002012-09-04T07:00:28.981-06:00IMO, if you have guns in the house, you should kno...IMO, if you have guns in the house, you should know how to shoot them, how to clean them and make them safe to shoot if necessary. Otherwise, fill the barrels and hang them on the wall! I didn't know if I would enjoy shooting, because in the past my distaste for guns was deep, but it was actually fun. It's not something I'd do for only the fun of it, however. But knowing how to handle the weapons feels very good, and keeping those skills honed is a good thing.<br /><br />Aw, did Jake have to go out on the road again? Darn. I was hoping he'd be home a week or so. But duty calls, right?Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28840534.post-27352647625640333412012-09-04T06:54:17.187-06:002012-09-04T06:54:17.187-06:00chuckle!

I remember shooting one of Jake's guns after we first met, it was some sort of handgun and it had quite a kickback. But that was a long time ago, we haven't gone since. We just got busy with other things, you know.<br />I think it's really great for you to know though. Especially living out there in the wilds! And really what's the point of having them if you don't know what you're doing!<br />I'm sorry to hear that your friend was sick. Jake was sick all weekend long. I haven't called him yet this morning but am hoping he's feeling better. Good for you Lyn, you're a smart lady!!
