thoughts? yay or nay?

thoughts on owning a gun as a mother? i’m just curious. if you have it on your person can’t someone else get a hold of it? if it’s in your purse can’t someone else or your child access it? if its locked in your safe (where it should be) and you have an intruder, it’s not like you’ll have time to go unlock the safe and use it? i want to hear from people that support and people that don’t

Mine is locked up except nights that my husband works, nights that my husband works I take it out and put it on my bedside table until morning.

I don’t feel the need to own a gun. My husband hunts and has various firearms that are locked and ammunition stored separately.

I feel safer carrying so I can protect my family. If I am able to, I carry in a holster on my hip and I’m not really worried about others getting it considering I’m alert and keep my arm hovering it so I always feel it. Other times, I put it in my purse and keep that purse in front of me so I have easy access. It always gets hidden up high when I’m at my parents so no kids can get it. Once I get home, it goes straight to the safe. Our safe has a key that only the adults can reach. We have multiple guns for protection and hunting so the other guns are in the safe as well with no bullets in it. We also have one hidden in a chest at the end of our bed so we have easy access if needed. My child doesn’t even know that the chest can open and she’s never alone around it

It’s a no for me. We only used them hunting growing up and I didn’t enjoy that. We also won’t go over to someone’s house unless theirs are locked in a safe. My child’s safety comes before your desire to have it out.

From someone who doesn’t live in the US, this is crazy to me. It makes me so uncomfortable and sad for you beautiful people who do feel the need to carry a gun for safety. 😢
