[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 623290, member: 1550"] Witz, Wisconsin is a huge hunting state and where I live there is very little crime. However, I also bet we may be the only ones on the block who have no weapons. We did once think of buying a handgun for protection, but my husband, who knows guns well from ten years in the Air Force, doesn't think you should load your gun and that you need to lock up the bullets to avoid accidents. Hub is sane. The problem is the hotheads and those who would really LIKE to use those guns. I have no problem with sane people and guns. The problem is, too many aren't sane and some of the laws like "stand your ground" just encourage these people to shoot and then say "Well, I was afraid for my life." I am hopeful we can keep "stand your ground" out of Wisconsin, but not very hopeful with the present people running the state. It blows my mind, literally, that Adam Lanza, as disturbed as his family knew he was, was taught to use a gun. Yeeeeech. None of my kids, even the normal ones, have ever held a gun. I am Sonic's legal guardian and gave him every right an adult has except the right to own a gun, not that he'd ever feel inclined to do so, but just being careful. I don't think 36 should EVER own a gun, but since he has no legal record and no real mental health treatment, he could buy one legally. Scary thought. Can we say hothead???? I think you should have to be twenty-one to learn to shoot, but due to our hunting culture, I realize this will never happen. I just make sure I stay away from all the prime hunting spots during deer hunting season in Wisconsin. And I and my husbands (of which I've had two...lol) always made sure we only moved to VERY low crime areas with the exception of two scary years in Chicago. Never again. [/QUOTE]
