Sorry Charlie feels that way about guns in the house. There may well come a time he will wish he had one handy.

For 7 years I was a professional gunsmith. That is all I did. My Grandfather on my mother's side was a gunsmith and watch/clock repairer as well as general tinkerer.

My dad was career army and all in my family were raised to use firearms. My children were raised with them and they never took liberties with them as they were taught from a young age not to touch unsupervised.

My oldest daughter had the keenest eyesight of any youngun I ever was around. She could dance cans with a .22 at 125 yards using a peep sight and an old German .22 cal. WWII training rifle. It was a copy of their issue bolt action 8mm Mauser rifle.

All my children were taught to use firearms and use them safely. I have given my wife a .38 special revolver and she knows how to use it.

I keep a .45 automatic, 2 38 Smith and Wesson Revolvers and a .22 rifle loaded at all times.

God forbid the need ever arise but if it does I am prepared to defend my family. I am not willing to take the chance that someone would hurt my twin granddaughters or my wife or in that case anyone under my roof or on my property.

If an emergency situation ever presented itself the police are not close enough to help. By the time they could receive a 911 call everyone could be dead. That's the reality of today. All anyone has to do is watch, read or listen to the news to know this is true.

Just my 2 cents. Adjusted for inflation of course. :)

He just feels they are dangerous because many times people are killed or wounded with their own guns that were taken away from them by intruders and turned on them. He is stubborn about things when he sets his mind to it. I just hope and pray we are never in that situation. But if we ever DID get a gun, I would insist that everyone in the house learn how to use them, that's for sure.
