You may recall that some time ago Lee purchased a stun gun for my protection. Now, I've never come remotely close to using the thing, but apparently it's still not enough protection. Lee recently found a gun he just had to have. He tells me it's my gun, that I can take it with me everywhere for protection. So folks, I hope you don't mind that I'll be coming to playdates packing heat. What?! Obviously he does not really expect me to stuff a gun in my diaper bag (right?). That was just one of his desperate arguments to convince me this gun was necessary. I think we can all clearly see that this is his gun, not mine. It is impossibly tiny and I can fit it in my pant pocket, not that I ever would. I intend to leave it in some secret location far from toddler hands. I'm not going to lie, there is a certain security in knowing that if someone comes after me or my family I have the potential to do something about it. Of course, I will have to ask said person to stand very still and very close to me for an extended period of time to even have a chance of hitting them, but whatever. I know that not all of you are pro-gun, but, well, I guess I am. I kind of have no choice, we're a law enforcement family, guns come with the deal. At least we haven't become like two families I know with gigantic gun safes adorning the master bedroom. I suppose it's just a matter of time.

yikes--i couldn't handle the ancient rifles at girls' camp in mccall!
i was hoping this was a post about the dog. ;) could you bring him to playgroup?
that is awesome. kenny's wanted to get me one for a while; i said ok only if it's "cute" and i got to pick it out... :) nothing yet, but we'll see. we've also thought about going to get our concealed weapons permits together. how romantic, huh?
One strong, horrified gasp is all I can manage at this post.
...Not only would you have to ask said intruder to assume the correct position for you to be able to hit him, but you would also have to ask him to "Hold on ONE second!" as you scurry to the secure hiding spot out of toddler hands, open the lock, and retrieve the gun, in order to then try and injure him with it.
Does anyone else see that missing logic? YOu'd have more luck wearing a belt with your stun gun on a loose clip 24/7. I'm sure the whole pj's and stun gun look would suit you.
Oh my goodness Kelsey owns her very own gun. I've got one too actually. A 20 gauge shotgun. Not the same I know. I've had it since I was a kid for hunting. So is it really for you or is this like my aunt getting power tools for Christmas that her husband borrows occasionally, wink, wink. We should go shoot cans. Oh hey and you are ahead of the trend. You know the one Sarah Palin is setting. All women in America now must be gun toating hotties. Finally a trend I'm willing to follow. :P

I could only imagine how that would work for me. I haven't shot a gun since hunters' safety when I barely managed to hit the paper rabbit the necessary five times (I couldn't even tell you how many shots that took). I think it's safe to say the two of us won't be creating some kind of gun-totting crime-fighting duo.
Wow you know a lot of pro-gun people!
Anyways, this second comment is to tell you to JUDGE NOT about our Albertsons shopping ways...they are one of the few stores that carry GLUTEN FREE items. So next time don't be so hasty in your high horse Missy.
I guess you won't get this for a while since you are probably flying back to your desert home as I write. It was fun to see you!
NICE!
