You all should get a kick out this one.
This is about 97% true.
I know a couple who have been married about 30 years. They came from a state where it was hard to own a gun so they had never had one.
Now in Texas, they decided maybe having a pistol in the house might be a good idea, for protection.
He went out and bought a S&W 38.
The problem that arose was, both of them were afraid the other one might get mad and shoot them. Or that the other one might get depressed and try and commit suicide.
The solution they came up with was, that HE hid the gun where she couldn't find it and SHE hid the box of shells where he couldn't find them. This way they could only use the gun by agreement for defensive purposes!
They haven't really worried about having to use the gun for awhile now.
A guy was installing an alarm in a new house down the street. They gave him $20 for a yard sign and some window decals. They sleep peacefully now not worring about breakins or actually having to use the gun.

Bingo, a 2 pound paper weight! Cool!The problem that arose was, both of them were afraid the other one might get mad and shoot them. Or that the other one might get depressed and try and commit suicide.
