re: #125 Amory Blaine
My mother of all people was spouting about how she wants to carry a gun. I tried explaining to her that someone will just take it from her and shoot her with it. She says “I’ll carry it on my person and when they take my purse then I’ll shoot them”. I’m like “mom if you shoot someone in the back it’s murder”. I am confident enough that my incessant nagging and badgering will discourage her.
When somebody wants to blow a person away for snatching a purse…there’s something deeper there than “I don’t want to get robbed.”
