I don't carry a gun because the government won't let me.

That's about the best we can manage over here!

Your graphs always make me laugh ;D

I used to shoot and was getting my license sorted when the handgun ban came in to force. But I do have a small cock so the graph could be right :D

My sister is an amazing shot (my dad taught us all to shoot when we were kids) and she and her husband have a couple of guns. They lived in Texas for a few years and it made her feel safer to have them in the house when my brother in law was out working (he'd be gone two weeks at a time for his job).

My thought is if you know how to use them and aren't being stupid, then fine. It's the people who don't lock their guns up or who can't actually aim properly who worry me.

The trick is figuring out who isn't being stupid...

Figuring out who lives in Texus and isn't stupid is trickier still. ;)

No argument from me. Thankfully, she doesn't live there anymore so I don't have to pretend to like it.
