I served in the Army 6 + years and received tactical and safehandling training with the pistol and rifle. besides the mental psychologicalMy husband wants to buy a gun. We're planning on going shopping for one tomorrow after getting the paperwork in order. This is something we've been discussing for a good 6 months.
In Dec last year we went for training, and we both learned how to safely use, maintain and shoot a pistol and a shotgun. I learned how they work and how they're safe tools. Even though I've been through training, I still feel sick just thinking about owning one. I am terrified that my husband will use his and shoot someone and I don't want that to happen. He also wants me to get one too, and for us to go shooting on a regular (monthly) basis.
I understand that my fear is from ignorance. I'm afraid of the unknown. I know that if I take the time to learn and shoot on a regular basis I can overcome this fear. I am doing my best to submit to my husband in this regard (as with all of our marriage).
My real concern is that the bible teaches us not to murder. I don't understand the logic behind owning something for the sole purpose of killing someone else. And practising doing so to that end. I understand that many of the people here carry and shoot as a hobby. Could you help me understand your reasoning behind doing so, so that I can better come to terms with my husband's desire to get a firearm too?
Brainwashing on killing for country doctrine,
the physical hands on training - safe operation
Proper functionality, demonstrating mental
Protocols, and following all federal/ state laws.
With that said, been discharged for 17+ years
And never possessed a firearm until 5 months
Ago.I Had the same fear of potential shooting senerios, ultimately which it would be a self- defence shooting. With my practical experience
And positive perception of safe carry, safe range shooting. I can possess A firearm without Thinking of potential shooting Senarios that restrict my (2 Amd) Right.
Hopefully you can decide whats best, that you
Can Either carry or not. Good luck.
