RE: I Could Have Died - Gun Violence on an Urban Street
I lived in Houston many years and have witnessed gun violence. A policeman even told me to buy a handgun. Keep it loaded and in the glove compartment, to let them know If I ever got pulled over. ..It was during the 1980's as you referred to as a violent time.
I too am glad she is safe. Great to read your response to her.
Enjoyed your post @mattifer. LOL didn't want to leave you out. :)
Thanks for the support! :-)
I'm torn on the issue of carrying a gun myself. I was always told not to carry one if I'm not prepared to use it. I just don't know that I would follow through on using it if I were to find myself in a situation that warranted that kind of response. Fortunately, Matthew is a big fan of guns, so as long as he is around I won't have to think too much about that potential occasion.
Same here. I don't plan on using one. LOL
My mom told me if you carry one be prepared to use it.
I wouldn't mind having a tazer.
I would be more likely to use a taser too. I just wouldn't want to actually kill someone, ya know?
