As a gay woman, I don’t feel safe in America right now. So I bought a gun.

8. Couple of things here that are going to get her into trouble

First of all I am happy to hear that she is willing to protect herself or others if the needs arise.

However, carrying an unloaded pistol is probably more dangerous than having one at all. Hopefully I'm guessing that she will eventually buy ammo and the part of it being unloaded is just literary.

Secondly, I hope she doesn't think that because somebody spits on you, or call you a name it gives you a reason to shoot them. Once again, I hope that is just a literary description on how she feels.

Lastly, I hope she takes a CCW course, then goes to the range several times a month. Shooting any type of gun isn't natural. When something goes wrong, and it will go wrong, she needs to have the muscle memory to be able to react.

Lastly, I hope she never has to use it. Taking a life no matter the reason has certain.. consequences.
