I don&#039;t own any guns since I am fearful of having them in a house with small children, but I sure do not try to demonize those who legally own guns for whatever purpose they feel the need them for, be it hunting, target shooting, personal protection, etc.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Guns have been in my parents house since before I was born.&nbsp; We lived in Washington DC.&nbsp; In the 1950&#039;s my dad shot a rat with a 30-06 under the porch in our front yard with a bunch of us kids watching (the rat refused to take the cheese from the trap). All the boys and girls learned how to shoot in summer camp - first w/bb&#039;s then with pellets.&nbsp; We shot 22&#039;s in HS.&nbsp; It all comes down to teaching respect and the proper use for firearms.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">Every</span></b> person I have introduced to guns (usually women <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) got over any apprehension and loved them.&nbsp; There are ways to keep your guns safe in a house w/kids and I would suggest everyone have some, teach their kids about them, and know the proper way to use them if an unfortunate situation ever comes.&nbsp; Knowledge is better than fear or ignorance.&nbsp; A gun is just a tool.&nbsp; Some are actually beautiful.&nbsp; Like any tool (including a screwdriver) there is a proper way to treat them or you can get hurt or hurt someone else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
