She was telling me that she didn't want a gun in her house because that wouldn't be trusting God to take care of her & her family. I offered her an alternate way of looking at it: if you lost your job, you wouldn't sit in your lazy chair eating doritos and call it having faith in God to secure your next job. It wouldn't make sense to use the same logic with home protection. You do what you can do, then you trust God to do what you can't.
She milled it over awhile, then said she wouldn't mind learning to shoot a gun.
Fast forward to tonight. She called & told me that she was ready to purchase a gun, but wanted to know the best place to get one for a good price. I recommended a gun show since you can comparison shop. I told her about the one in Pasadena this weekend, but she wants me to go with her so we will probably go to the one in Conroe later this month.
She is supposed to come by next week to look at my guns & gun safe. (We would go shooting, but she's pregnant right now.) I told her I would go over gun safety & safe handling with her while she's here. I also want her to look at my safes since she has five (soon to be six) kids in the house ages 12 & under.
VP be sure to stop at Cypress FireArms, SRVA will be there. I may be there Sunday AM but that would be it. Got a bunch of lessons that weekend. If your friend asks any questions you aren't sure of you know SRVA will help.
