Nesta, this was a joy to read.. Being totally honest; when I saw you had posted on this, I was thinking 'Oh man, this should be good'.. Based on our previous discussions about guns, I was expecting this to be a complete flop.. To my surprise, this was a GREAT reasoning and a joy to read..
Yes, proper gun safety is absolutely paramount. A mechanical device can fail without warning, so treating a gun like it is loaded at ALL times is essential. I simply could not imagine being hit with any caliber of round in any part of the body; and if I was forced to, in a last resort life or death situation, use a firearm to protect myself or loved ones by shooting someone.. I would live the rest of my life with the spiritual weight of that action, and that is a heavy heavy weight, especially if it was a lethal shot.. I pray that I never have to be in that situation, but at the same time, I would protect my family (or a complete stranger in need) in a moments notice without hesitation.. For living with THAT weight, my family or innocence being killed when I could have done something, is something I cant even think of...
But hey, we have disagreed enough. Lol. I am not going to focus on this one piece..
Great reasoning.
Peace
