Thought I might post today's Ask Amy...

[Guylee]

Dear Amy: When our family gets together for any holiday, my niece's husband has to bring a gun with him.
He has a permit. He thinks his permit gives him per-
-mission to carry a loaded gun wherever he goes. He even takes it to church.
I have requested that he leave the gun at home when coming to my house.
He says that if he cannot bring his gun then his family won't come to our home. There will be small children at the house, but he says it's OK because his kids are fine with it.
Should I let him bring the gun or tell them they need to stay home?


Dear Battle: I shared your letter with a spokesperson for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, who responded with this statistic: "A gun in any home is four times more likely to be used to kill or injure a loved one in an unintentional or accidental shooting than it is to be used for self-defense (bradycampaign.org)."
This man may believe that he is somehow protecting his family, but by carrying a loaded gun he is placing them (and anyone else in the home) at risk.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 4,000 children and teens are wounded or killed in unintentional shootings every year.
Your niece's husband may have a legal right to carry his gun, but you also have a right to maintain a weapons-free household.

Dear Amy:

You're a dumbass.

Well, she's right. The lady has the right to say "no" and he has the right not to come.

[Guylee]

I think the thing that bothers me the most is the bullshxt Brady statistics that have been proven wrong OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Well, she's right. The lady has the right to say "no" and he has the right not to come.

He has the right to carry, but she has the right to say not in her house. Just cause you have a permit does not make you a good gun owner. If he didnt tell anyone, they shouldnt know. Sounds like he wants to stir the pot. I don't like people to carry guns in my house.

I don't like people to carry guns in my house.

Agreed-they should be holstered

People who ask questions like that from people like that Amy lady are only looking to get their beliefs re-confirmed. She would not ask it to someone that might tell her she is wrong. She might as well be taking to the mirror, but I guess the paper specks louder.

Deleted cause some members are Dumb and I don't need DHS at my house. POS

God I tasted bile when reading that. Hard to say whether the guy is stirring the pot or this woman is just a busy body, im leaning toward busy body.
