Hi Jackie,
Yeah, we have people getting injured and killed via gunshots down here
and it always seems to be someone who would never touch the gun or who
had gone through such an intensive training and safety course that they'd
never have an accident.
Then we have those brilliant people who don't lock up their guns and
manage to get them stolen. There's a Catch 22 for you. How can you
protect yourself with a gun if you have to keep it locked up? <G>
A senator from Illinois is presenting a bill that would create a law to
punish gun owners whose guns are stolen and then used in a crime, or
whose guns are involved in an accidental shooting. Of course, the NRA
opposes this.
