[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 398776, member: 1233"] I don't, at this time, own a gun. My father has purchased eleven of them in the last four months, on top of owning quite a few before then. He has gotten into going to the range again. If/when I purchase a gun I will spend LOTS of time at the range with it. I come from a LONG line of women who are EXCELLENT shots and I was the youngest person to ever qualify to use the indoor range at the range we belonged to when I was in elementary school. Every shot was in the center of the target then. It has been YEARS, and I might not ever be that good again, but I bet I would be pretty darn good, good enough to kill these dogs. The reason I don't have guns now is that when the migraines are really bad I lose perspective and am pretty sure I would kill myself to get away from the pain if I have a gun. I MUST keep that in mind regardless of how bad things get with the dogs. husband is looking into a pellet rifle - it is a lot harder to shoot yourself with a rifle. Otherwise we will most likely get a bb rifle. I wish the migraines didn't happen often enough and severe enough to make me nuts, but I truly lose myself and all perspective on about day 2 or 3, or if I get a really sudden one that hits like lightening.
