I did see that this morning! There was also a really good article with a long term gun owner in the NYT who has been a loud voice in the NRA boycott.
I had no idea guns were sold at Dick’s! I rarely have shopped there, but it kind of shocks me that you can go to your local shopping center (I thought sporting goods meant yoga wear, swimsuits, mouth guards and soccer balls) and buy a gun, let alone an AR 15!
Liability
According to the New England Journal of Medicine, living in a home that contains a gun increases homicide risk by 40 percent. If you keep a gun in your home, your home insurance underwriter may adjust your rates based on potential risk, opt not to cover you at all, or make you adhere to certain requirements involving gun storage and safety. If you have a criminal record involving using a firearm, your insurance company may raise your rates or opt not to cover you. If you don’t disclose that you own a firearm, your insurance company may deny a future claim involving the gun. Of course, this varies with each insurance company, so ask your agent for specific details.Owning a gun can subject you to heavy liability in the event of an accident or event involving the firearm. Even using your weapon against an intruder in your own home could create hefty legal ramifications and even require you to pay financial compensation to the person (or people) injured in the event. Since a basic home insurance policy has a $100,000 liability limit, you may want to consider purchasing a personal umbrella policy to give yourself additional protection. An umbrella policy will give you extra liability coverage not just for guns, but any accidents or events for which you could be named personally liable.
-the nest2/10 were not civilians in that WaPo article.
8 whole times! Wow!
As soon as you call everyone sheep, you lose any chance of anyone even considering your nonfactual claim.
Don’t be a dick! It’s not that hard.
I grew up with guns too, my father actually manages a shooting range in his retirement and spent decades as a sharpshooter and shooting coach in the US Army. He is also a licensed gun dealer. That doesn’t change my feelings. I value my kids lives over a weapon. Not many scared men who need a gun to feel safe actually store them safely. Not many civilians can even hit a target in a scenario with moving targets, in a heated exchange, in a small space like their home.
It’s unquestionably more dangerous to have a gun in your home.
I don’t think the answer is to tell her to compromise. No one needs to compromise their safety in order for one person to feel ‘safe.’It’s his right to own a gun, but it’s your right to decide that’s not acceptable.
Yeah, I would say this is an appropriate time to draw a hard line and be sure to follow through with this ultimatum. Facts don’t lie.
Let it go?
Studies show that having a gun in the home exponentially increases the risk of harm or death to your family. Especially for women and children. That’s inviting danger into your home.I get scared on occasion, and I have had a recent gun tragedy in my life but my fear of ‘bad men’ doesn’t overcome my fear that an accident could happen in my home.
I think the self defense course is a great idea. If he can’t meet you at your wishes for peace and safety in your home, I’d suggest couples counseling. This is not a sweep it under the rug argument, in my opinion.
He values his hunting time more than getting to know you @cinnabon. I’d start seeing other people. Don’t put your life on hold for some guy you just met.
Moving! January is the month of change for me, historically. We are moving our whole family back to the east coast from the West in two weeks. I’m excited, and sad, and a lot of things. But I’m prepared and already mostly packed. I feel like a moving ninja, and that maybe I should start a blog about moving. I have moved so many times I don’t want to know the real number.
Any one have any tips about areas to live near Philly?
Happy new year.Explaining over and over how you’ve had no choice in the matter doesn’t change or solve anything. He’s shown he’s not stopping, and you’ve decided it isn’t a dealbreaker.
Cool story, bro.
If you feel it, and are waiting for him to say it first…just…why?
Every time someone writes or talks about that hesitancy, I kind of think you must not really love him, otherwise you wouldn’t have an issue saying it. Like, it’s seems you are holding back sharing your feelings under the condition he have them first. Being vulnerable is only scary for a split second.Maybe he is using her phone to check up on you.
And if I’m remembering, there were issues long before this breakup, right? It wasn’t a good fit. Take a break.
