@JimmyJam that’s a delightfully idealistic position. People read and interpret according to their own world views. Supreme Court rulings are an excellent example. Two judges, equally brilliant and accomplished, read the same law resulting in two very different opinions.

MMRMarch 5, 2018 at 1:36 pm #741818I grew up in a house without guns, and it wasn’t an issue in my area. My husband grew up with and around hunters. He is now a hunter himself.
Before he got his hunting license we talked about how he was going to store his gun and bow (locked up, unloaded). He mostly bow hunts, so he doesn’t use his gun very often, and taking it out/putting it away is a whole thing.
My concern is that your husband doesn’t sound like he’s at all interested in responsible gun ownership. He literally wants to carry around a loaded, deadly weapon, in your home and in public, with your child present. I know this, because if his primary reason for the gun is protecting his family from attacks, then it would need to be loaded and on him at all times.
What’s he going to do with it when he’s sleeping? What if he lays down on the couch and it’s uncomfortable and he wants to take it off? Or when he’s driving?
The problem with carrying a loaded deadly weapon is that you become desensitized to that fact that IT’S A LOADED DEADLY WEAPON. At some point, he’s going to leave it casually on the counter and your son will have access to it.
You should choose not to put your child in that situation.
