I wasn't raised by my real dad, but by my stepfather who was lifetime military. So I hunted and shot since I was a kid. My real dad lives in the city all his life and my stepmother HATES hunting and guns.
The whole time I was a LEO, at Christmas and visits, I had to assure her I didn't carry a gun into the house. (To appease my Dad).
Now my dad is 73 and I'm 54. I live on a farm and he still is in the city. He drove out for a visit the other day and as we were talking, he said he wanted to show me something. He pulled out a Ruger LCP and said he had gotten his CCW and the gun without my stepmother knowing. He wanted to know if he could shoot at a target with it. He was also under the assumption the gun was dangerous with a round in the chamber.
I showed him he could and unless he pulled the trigger it wouldn't go off.
When I asked him what changed his mind, he said the neighborhood had gotten too dangerous and he got to old to fight or run.
I'm waiting for him to come back with a knot on his head from his wife.
