Husband is a LEO. They have a *reported* DV rate of 40%.
Girl, leave him yesterday.
@Cosmichomicide I wouldn't live in a house with a man and a gun
When Cosmic Jr's dad and I separated, Cosmic Jr was super worried about who would get the guns.
He apparently asked my ex if he was planning to shoot me if he got a gun in the divorce (don't ask, gun custody is a thing in the South - I got all but the Glock he bought himself).
My ex said, "Son, your mom is a much better shot than I will ever be. I'm not stupid." 🤣
I'm a gun owner. Have no problem with it. Have a lot of problems with people who wave guns like they are dicks.
@Cosmichomicide It's just not for me, I've never had a reason. I would be afraid of myself too. Too easy to shoot your partner, yourself, whomever
I completely agree. I grew up with guns in a family that actively hunted and fished. I've spit bird shot out of the turkey on Thanksgiving. Gun safety has been drilled into me from the time I was a guppy.
Nothing scares me more than someone who goes and buys a gun "for protection" whose total gun experience comes from movies.
@Cosmichomicide @gemswinc I had one for a long time, felt competently trained, never needed to use it. Gave it to my leo brother after parkland school shooting. I am shocked, horrified, confused, by all the calls to arm teachers. I know my fellow teachers, live them but I’m out the day that happens.
@LaurelGreen Arming teachers will compound tragedy. A very bad idea.
@gemswinc @Cosmichomicide yes! School shooters are likely to be students or former students. The people who could shoot/kill them terrify me.
