Women or Men with Wives/Girlfriends: How do you carry your guns?

[dposborne]

You have a lot of military on the forum, and a lot of us just have a healthy respect for the things. I cannot stand guns despite the fact that my father had his federal firearms license and makes surplus cash in his retirement by customizing, and my husband and father-in-law are collectors. I refuse to carry - I feel safe enough with avoiding potentially dangerous situations, personal self-defense classes, and carrying pepper spray - but that doesn't mean I shouldn't know how to handle and fire a gun. If someone busts into my house and I can manage to get my hands on my husband's or theirs, it sort of makes sense to know what to do with it once it lands in my hand. Seems a bit like common sense to go to the range once in a while to know how to safely fire and safety them.

As the old saying goes "You can hate guns and religion, but if the poop hits the fan and someone breaks in and is alone in the house with you, two things are going to happen... 1) You're going to call someone with a gun to come and save you and 2) You're going to pray that they get there pretty darn quick..."
