Why is it so hard...

[seabeyond]

111. gosh... and thank you so much tuesday

your post is unexpected and really appreciated.

" You enjoy the protection of your husband with his guns in the home and you have no idea how they work and see no reason to learn. Just let Hubby handle it. All talk and No action."

i think this is where we are messing up. for you, i am enjoying my hubbys protection without a responsibility in it. i get to feel secure, without having to own the having gun part.

i, on the other hand may be receiving this protection, but i dont feel it is needed. so whether he has guns or not for me is irrelevant. how do i enjoy the protection when i dont feel there is a need, want, desire for that (what i consider) supposed protection.

possibly, you see it as i dont have to fear, because ultimately the guns are there. but, i did not fear when the guns werent there.

it is not that i dont consider my safety. i do. in all things. and i warrant that as part of not having problems all the years, the odds, and the choices i make. like living somewhere that is relatively crime free. if situations were different, i dont see it as an issue to change my opinion or situation to fit my safety. or for others in that situation to do the same.

but.... ore than anything tuesday and what i was bothered with leaving this thread as it was is this

"that we can remain of friendly terms."

i appreciate, this.
