103. Yes, I'm very worried.

Sun Nov 4, 2012, 11:22 AM

Nov 2012

I live in a very red county in TX, kind of out in the country. It is the reason I brought my late father's guns to TX from NM, and taught my son how to shoot.

My son got into a heated discussion on FB regarding this election. He was ridiculed at football practice the next day with no one to back him up. He also speaks out in class standing up for President Obama.

My wife also teaches at his school. Many people / students know where we live. We also have a sign with our last name in our yard. Many of the kids in his school hunt / own guns and go out drinking. I'm afraid for his/our safety, mainly from drunk kids with nothing to do. Because of where we live, we are easy targets.

He is also #1 in his junior class and has seen many instances of students being against him.
