NRA Speaker: Keep A Gun In Your Child’s Room

[LWolf]

3. The most scared I have ever been in my life

was when I was 15, and my mom sent me back to spend a couple of months with the father I hadn't seen since babyhood. I stayed with him, his wife, and his stepkids.

The 2nd weekend, he and the stepmom went on a weekend hunting trip, leaving me alone with the step-sibs for the weekend. One older, one my age, one younger. I barely knew them, had known them for a week, had decided that they were a bunch of IQ points short of a full deck, and my father told us, "If there's a break-in, my gun is loaded and in the headboard of my bed." Then he left me there for the weekend.
