[QUOTE="uncle money bags, post: 2534041, member: 8377"] You have answered my question. Your response proves my point, as well as the other two posters who questioned your previous post. I wish I had been wrong on this one. As an aside, and as a service to you let me offer some free advice. Ignorance can be fixed, stupidity cannot. We are all ignorant in some way or another. And yes, I have told people that in person. I have been told essentially the same thing at times. What you do with the info is up to you. Seriously, Im not trying to be a prick here. Anyone who [U]doesnt "[I]know[/I]" guns and doesnt want to "[I]know[/I]" guns,[/U] has no business having a gun. They are a serious piece of hardware which demand respect and competence. None of them are "[U]fool proof[/U]". By simplifying the operation down to " [I][U]...pull the trigger...go bang...bad guy fall down...[/U].[/I] is woefully inadequate, in training, mindset and reality. Following that up with "[I][U]That's the point for the women in my family...[/U][/I]." is doing them a disservice. Insist that they seek training if they are going to use a gun. If they refuse, do them a favor and dont give them a gun. [I]"[U]Now if they were "gunners" then they could "tell me" what they are going to carry and shoot....hehehe"[/U][/I] This last line is the icing on the cake, and I refer you back to my first point. You are failing them with this attitude. Please, do not let anyone you care about handle, employ, use a gun unless they are willing to learn how to use it. Learn how to clear malfunctions, ( yes revolvers have those too). When and where their use is justified. Then practice, and practice some more. [/QUOTE]
