ORIGINAL: LaTigresse I adore my mother-in-law and her husband but they are of the mindset that they feel they need to own a hand gun to be safe. This is a relatively new development. I do not understand WHY they suddenly feel the need. It is not as though the crime rate in their part of Minnesota has increased. She feels, that because she took a gun safety course, she is now ultimately qualified to carry a hand gun. Her son knows otherwise and told her so. Truth be told, very very few people are ultimately qualified to carry a handgun. I don't know if you think your mother-in-law is clumsy or accident prone or maybe the type to shoot or pull a gun when it hadn't ought to been pulled. Did she just take a safety course or a course to get her concealed carry permit ? Maybe she is qualified to have a gun in her home barring any safety concerns with kids. There are way way more people than you think who are qualified to carry a handgun. As I am sure you know.......if indeed you are the expert you would like us all to believe you are..... there are a great deal many more factors in safe gun ownership and usage than will ever be covered in a gun safety course. I'm not claiming to be an expert or trying to make people believe that. I do claim to have quite a bit of knowledge and experience which makes it easy for me to post on this subject. Gun safety for the average adult, excluding morons, is pretty cut and dry, at least for ownership and target usage. As long as the gun newbie is well versed on gun safety, on the operation of his particular type of gun, and safety concerning his kids, he's pretty much qualified to have one in the home. It doesn't take a college degree to learn and understand gun safety, it's pretty much easier to learn than it is to learn how to drive a car. Though you are partially correct, when it comes to the use of deadly force there is a great deal many more factors than will ever be covered in a concealed carry permit course.
