Just curious as to what you would do if they started severely beating your family members , even to the point where you feared for their lives?

When we hear a "bump" in the night, I am always the one to go investigating... I can kick some ass if need be.

I would assume this doctor lived in a neighborhood similar to yours. not to string this out with but I'm just seeing what people belive in.


Last July, two prison parolees were charged with breaking into the Cheshire, Conn., house of a doctor, severely beating him and killing his wife and two daughters. Authorities said the men then set fire to the house.

IMHO children SHOULD be exposed go guns early and often.. perhaps leaving the pile of shotguns lying around is over the top but I learned to shoot at age 4 and got my first rifle when i was 8.. there has never been a danger of my brothers accidently shooting themselves in the face because they found a gun and thought it was a toy... they know what guns are and how to use them. If you look into it im sure youll find Most accidental gun deaths happen with the kids who didnt even know it was real or were never showed what it was.

lmao, no im just used to growing up in a house with a pile of shotguns next to the door a .45 on top of the fridge and a crossbow in my bedroom.. and those are just the "functional" weapons... add in things like hachets and machettes just laying around the house and you found yourself in my parents house..

I am used to living in a place where they still dont even lock their doors but as you can see there is plenty of reason for not needing to.

Nothing like arming any bandits who may break in too... Seriously, and I don't mean to be a dick or say shit about your folks, but that to me is careless to the point of criminal.

I didn't say it never happens. I said the chances of it happening are remote and not worth the risk I see in having weapons laying around.

Yeah... I guess.... I find the idea more than slightly risky regardless. I would never forgive myself if one of my kids accidentally killed the other or him/herself with some shit I had laying around the house. It's a risk I'm unwilling to take as compared to the risk of my house being broken in to while I'm home.

I certainly agree that I would not have weapons around where kids could get to them.

Growing up, starting about the age of 5, my dad and I would go shooting. My 10 yr old daughter has never expressed an interest until recently when I returned from a day at Lauhorner. It won't be long until I take her with me.

That also depends on your definition of kids. When my brothers were still little the guns would like be kept out of reach a bit more.. but by the time they are 12 and 13 most of them have killed deer or rabbits with those guns.. and in the case of My second youngest brother he hunts things like coyotes and foxes with his and has since he was about 11 id say.

That is what is needed with kids. Training them , not only to shoot but to be responsible with guns too.
