Unless you are paranoid.

    Every gun owner I met is scared of everything.

    I accidentally got dragged into a conversation at work with a gun owner who seemed to have it mapped out exactly how they thought a home invasion would play out. In their scenario they'd have the drop on the robbers, who'd never be expecting someone to keep a loaded gun by their bed while sleeping...

    There was so much detail in there that it made me wonder if they actually wanted someone to come into their house so they could have an excuse to kill someone.

    Oh, yeah. They live for this fantasy. We have an Airstream travel trailer, and there are people in that group that are absolutely certain that someone WILL try to break in sooner or later while they're camping, and they will be Ready For It.

    I assume they are the same group of people that end up shooting an innocent person that had their car break down at 2 am and just wanted help, or knocked on the door to what they thought was a friend's house.

    It's really disturbing how certain they are that this will happen. Too much Fox News, I assume.

    I own guns. Not because I'm scared of anything, but because I inherited one, and my mom has a farm and shooting clay pigeons is fun. Plus, I have to kill a chicken snake for her every so often.
