I've never wanted a gun to defend me against other people. While I think (and hope) that I could shoot someone threatening my children or grandchildren, I'm not sure that I could shoot someone who threatened only me. I take other measures against those people -- locks, alarms, basic vigilance, etc. <br /><br />Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-37715325700601028172017-07-25T21:26:02.690-04:002017-07-25T21:26:02.690-04:00I similarly have poor fine-motor skills and always...I similarly have poor fine-motor skills and always have. If I owned a gun I would be likely to take out a picture window or the refrigerator. There would have to be riots approaching before my family would be safer with me holding a gun.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19305198.post-15183337870105325212017-07-25T19:17:24.016-04:002017-07-25T19:17:24.016-04:00There are many people who shouldn't own certai...There are many people who shouldn't own certain types of guns. I'm one of them. A handgun in my hands would not be a good thing. It's not because I'm a dangerous person but because I have a tremor in my hands. Fine motor control is not my strong suit. <br /><br />However, I'd do fine with a shotgun that didn't require a lot of hand strength to operate and for inside my home defense only. Now all I've got to do is convince my sons-in-law of that... so they'll take me shopping. Donna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16771075314473811594noreply@blogger.com
