In reply to the discussion: 911 tells young mother, "do what you have to do to protect your baby" [View all]TPaine7
(4,286 posts)If your gun is not accessible to you for "improper use" then it seems almost certain that this young mother's gun would not have been accessible to her for this proper(?) use.
(I added the question mark because while I am sure the shooting was proper, I might be biased. One never knows if--in iverglassian reality--the mother should have run out the back door carrying the baby like a football or shot the intruder in the heel of his leading foot or simply waited for the guys to take the stuff they obviously came for and leave in peace. It's hard to tell sometimes.)
I have been here a few years, and I don't remember ever seeing iverglas hint at advocating measures to prevent people like this woman being legally or practically disarmed in the face of violent assault. Her only concern, as here, is to ensure that the guns are stored so as to discourage or stop misuse.
Therefore, by iverglassian logic, I conclude that iverglas advocates that women like the shooter in your OP be disarmed in the face of violent, criminal attack.
Actually, this conclusion being like Rome there are many roads that lead there. This road is special, however, as it is well paved, well maintained, and it shows up on iverglas' own map.
