Too funny. I'd be alarmed if we weren't armed. Unfortunately, Crash and my comfort levels with firearms are a little too high - although we usually keep all firearms locked up in the gun safe when we leave the house, we forgot one time when my folks were visiting. Crash and I left the house for work, and my parents were going to leave a little bit after us to head home. My mother (God bless her) decided to help out by vacuuming, and was startled by Crash's Glock on the nightstand. Fortunately (or unfortunately, when it comes to the cash flow,) my father shares my husband's affection for purchasing firearms (gotta have one for varmint shooting, one for deer, a shotgun for upland game, a shotgun for ducks/pheasant/grouse, and one...two...well, maybe more...for self defense.
Wasn't it Henry Rollins who said that every woman should carry a .44 in her purse? Sure would help reduce the percentage of crimes against women.
Wolf - imagine that they're referring to coyotes and sheep. Or feral dogs and sheep. Big picture.
