This is rich...
“So wait,” he said sarcastically, “I’m not that kind of guy, but as soon as we get a gun I might just think, ‘Gosh, she made the omelets a little dry today, I think I’ll shoot her?” “Well,” I shrugged, “You never know.” I managed to put him off like this until we had kids -- then he finally gave up. He said now that we had kids in the house it wouldn’t make sense to have one anyway. He says we’d have to say to an intruder, “We weren’t expecting you tonight – could you give us ten minutes? We just need to remember where we wrote down the combination to the safe, then run to the basement to get some ammunition and then to the attic to get some bullets – just sit tight, help yourself to a glass of Port, we’ll hurry.” I never ever ever imagined that I would be married to a man who thinks it’s a good idea to own guns, but I guess at least I’m not married to an entirely senseless man who thinks it’s a good idea to own guns.

Ah yes. Dry eggs. I've shot at my wife for less than that. One time she forgot to put fabric softener in the laundry and I went fully auto on her.
Give me a break.
What is it about otherwise intelligent people who think that an inanimate objects have the capacity to mentally controls us and force us to do horrific things? Why does this lady think that mere gun ownership will cause her husband to murder her over mundane things?
It's because she is not rational (at least in this regard). For someone who worked at a domestic abuse center, I'd think she'd realize where the blame lays with abuse, but apparently the only people she dealt with were gunshot victims who's husbands were sweet church leaders until one day when they accidentally brushed a 1911 with their hand.
I'd have left a comment, but with everything going on in my life right now I'm 100% snarky and not level headed. I feel meaner than I should be (must be the 2 magazines of 10mm ammunition in my luggage). I wonder what she thinks of my mother, the cancer patient who just got through with surgery and keeps a 38 special with her for protection? So far, when I wasn't able to get her her medication fast enough, she's not resorted to putting 2 in COM to teach me a lesson, but maybe I'm just not giving it enough time.
