And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Never been in a position to where something like that was necessary, thankfully.
Looking around, there's 3 instantly available, and about 7 long ones in cases over there, and I don't remember how many long and short ones in the big cabinet in the corner.
Funny, my dad built a nice gun cabinet for all his guns and had it right in the living room with the key on the top ledge and none of us 5 kids ever entertained the idea of touching them because we knew he'd beat our asses with the belt he wore and we all grew old with our own kids and grand kids and lots of guns.
Our son was raised the same way, and so has our grand daughters.

I hope kids don't go to your house. Sooner or later they will find those guns

Lotta truth there GS.
DeleteNever saw the need either. Both of my sons had access to any of my guns throughout their lives. They knew what they were for and what they could do.
