Salty D. has decided to look into purchasing a gun. When I first heard this, I said, "Now why would you bring a gun into the home of a person with occasional suicidal tendencies?" It scared me.
Therefore part of our deal is that we would have a gun safe to which I do not have the key.
Unfortunately this also means that if D. is not home and we have a zombie home invasion, I would not be able to get to the gun. But, that's OK because I don't know if gunshots thwart zombies. I could probably use an axe to sever their heads instead.
Now he is looking into applying for a permit, because he's not aspiring to be an outlaw biker. These are some of the questions the application asks:
Of course that's almost illegible.
"Are you an individual who is an habitual drunkard...?"
"Is your character and reputation such that you would be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety?"
Now, what kind of idiot would answer "yes" to those questions? If they were that self-aware, they would probably just illegally carry.
This also scares me. Then again, I'm really naive.
I've never fired a gun before. I guess I'll add that to my life list.
Guns aren't my thing, either. I did want to shoot at least once, though. My husband had me shoot a rifle at our cabin (at a target). Eh. Not really that fun or exciting. No desire to do that again.
Yes, a gun safe is a must!

Yeah. BF bought one for his birthday. It's a Bambi killer.
There's no waiting period in this state. So, you know, that's awesome.
I'm not exactly sure how many guns he has, living with us in our apartment. I prefer not knowing.

This piece got me wondering . . .will my home alarm system alert me to breaking and entering zombies? :)

Guns are for pussies.

Now, I had to explain to my husband that that is a song.

HAPPINESS IS A WARM GUN

I have no desire to ever live in a home with a gun and am pretty adamant about not living in one. I was PISSED when I discovered not one, not two but three handguns at my sister's house when I lived there with her kids. AND a collection of rifles just in a closet. Seriously who the fuck needs that many guns?

That's the way I used to feel, Joanne. But it's part of the compromise of a marriage and I think we reached a pretty good one in this instance. I met someone who has, like, hundreds of guns in his house and storage unit, and makes his own ammo. Seriously, arms dealer? I don't know.
