Triggered - Loaded gun in the house versus ???

[frank320]

My mother-in-law is staying at my place for a couple of weeks. Once in a while she will comment: "Isn't it dangerous having loaded guns in the house? You have so many guns, isn't it dangerous having them around your son?". I just ignore these comments. My son knows more about gun safety than most.

What triggered me? She proceeds to leave her stuff on and around the staircase, like her handbag, photos, etc... basically setting up a staircase "slip trap" to break a leg or neck.

I will bet more people get hurt, maimed or die slipping/falling off staircases due to being lazy and leaving shit on staircases than having loaded guns in the house.

The stupidity.... know more of these mundane things that folks do that are just plain dumb and dangerous in the house, then proceed to call having a loaded gun in the house dangerous?

Why allow such a creature in the house?

Mother in law X a couple of weeks in your home. Bonus points with the wife to be cashed in at a later time. Good luck with this challenging task.

I bet inside her handbag laying at the bottom of the staircase has about 21 prescriptions inside.

Ask her if they stay locked up away from the kids.

You should take a shit in her purse.

I like to answer questions like this:

Question - "Isn't it dangerous having loaded guns in the house?"

Answer - "Only for really stupid people."

That way you can be insulting but not get in trouble for it.......

Poisoning and falls together make up >75% of home deaths by accident. Guns ain't even on the radar.

VooDoo

I re-read the op and have a question: Is there a Mr. Gump, Mrs. Gump?

My hardcore leftist mother inlaw was a 4th degree blackbelt in Martial Arts. She bitched about having weapons in the house - while collecting and practicing with edged weapons. When I mentioned that she could kill somebody with those weapons just like a gun can - she said it was different... because SHE was holding the weapon. My statement of "Hypocrite much?" was met with some real hate. LOL

When not in use, did she run all the edged weapons to a grinder, to render them "unloaded" for "safety?"

I did stop keeping the 10 pounder cannon in my living room loaded with double canister when my Savannah’s figured out how to use friction primers.

Hey, you never know when you might come up against a gang of burglars who need a full bore canister shot.

Just ‘sayin.

HOLY SHIT! Your cats are way smarter than mine! My orange cat can't even work the bolt on a rifle.

That’s why you have to give them Crew served weapons. They don’t require opposed thumbs and can be operated by small statured but agile critters

Built an in law suite for my MIL . She has been trained well . Doesn't bat an eye at the .45 on my hip or me pulling out firepower for the range . Personally she's uneasy around firearms and understands our house . Her Daughter and SIL are municipal cops and her nephew carries . She is surrounded by firearms . And safe .

My ex is anti gun. Never mind the fact that her dad hunted during her childhood to put meat on the table. My took my 1911 and loaded it. I slapped the fuck out of it and cussed it out. I then poured a beer over it. I placed it on the table and it did not do shit! Damn lazy assed gun.

My MIL carries a fixed blade. Complains about the 9mm Smith she sold me, wishing she kept it.
Still has her snubby though. She's 83.
She's a mean old redhead from Texas. Draw your own conclusions. Very stabby.

Only assholes waste beer, unless of course it was a bud.
