I dont feel the need to use a gun. I'm a woman off opportunity.
The other night my husbands ex wife was being especially *evil* and we went to pick up our son from this devil incarnates house....
I told my husband to have him waiting outside (our son) b/c if she came outside I would seriously RUN HER OVER. IF she'd have woken up she would think her name was KIA b/c it would be embossed on her....ummm...person. the tire marks would NEVER come off.
Not to mention I'd have backed up and done it again.
I loathe that woman - and if I told y'all what she had done to her son, you'd understand.

Oh lord, I need a pill or something.
Ah, Theresa maybe you shouldn't own a gun or a car for that matter!

She's 13 years old. In my book she would be old enough and responsible enough to baby sit my grand kids if I had any. Besides, I'm sure she knows how to kick a pervert where it counts. Call me ignorant if you must. I'm a guy, so most of you ladies are already thinking that anyway. However, I'm just not believing this world is so full of evil perverts that our kids are in danger everytime they are out of our sight. You MUST read that article from Reader's Digest I was talking about.

All due respect, I believe it all comes down to where you live.
I would feel safer living in a small town vs a big city.
We in the last couple of weeks, have had reports in our area of sexual assaults & attempted abductions.
Have you ever watched Gone With The Wind? Horseback riding accidents happen. The point is, a 13-year-old girl could be killed while riding a horse. Now, we trust that won't happen and we don't even worry that it might. On the other hand, she could be abducted and raped while riding a bike to her horseback riding lesson. We have no way of knowing what will happen when they ride off into the wild blue yonder.
Statistically, there are more 13 year old girls killed in car wrecks that close to home than there are 13 year old girls pulled off their bikes and abducted by strangers. Yet we think it's safer to drive them. Why? At the end of the day, no matter how hard you try to protect them, kids sometimes get hurt. The only peace we can have is trusting that God will keep them and protect them, whether they are on a bike, in a car or riding a horse.

Which do you think is easier to deal with??? Your child being killed in a car wreck or being abused or kidnapped???
One thing you have to keep in mind is that, you have to do all you can do to protect your children.... You can't help it when you're in a car wreck and someone dies... That's tragic... but it's a lot easier to live with than knowing that you could have kept a child from being abducted, raped, murdered or anything... I know we can't live in fear, but we have to be sooo careful... Especially today! I trust God! So did my Mom... I rode all over... By the time I was in the 4th grade, I had to keep my own house key without losing it... my own lunch money.... without losing it.... I also had to leave from the house on time to make it to school.... Mom could trust me... but what about the car full of guys that were riding along side of me trying to hit me with a baseball bat.... What about the guy at the park who was hanging around us girls and then showed us a knife and told us to come to him.... and there was a crowd of us.... this was also 25 years ago... .... what about the man who was stopping innocent children, showing them a pic and asking if they'd seen a certain person... It was a horrific, perverse pic and it happen to my cousins and I ... Fortunately they saw it I got to the car, grabbed me and took off running.... we ran home in fear... I don't like to take chances... My boys want more freedom... they will get their freedom at a later day. My oldest is 11 and is almost as tall as me 5'9 and 200lb+.. He's a strong boy... but none the less, he's a boy and I will do all I can to protect him.... Where we live, more than likely nothing will happen.... and as long as I have the power to protect them, I will.... They'll have more freedom than they care to have in a few years..... They can wait !!! Over protective?? Yes yes yes.... But I will say, my children have never been in those situations that I was in.... My children have never been molested, thank God... They've never been abused.... My children haven't had their innocence stolen from them.... Being over protective pays off....

Think of it like this - If I was driving, I would have a hard time living with myself. If someone abused my kid, I could understand that no matter what I did or did not do to protect them, someone else did the dirty deed, and that could have been well beyond my control.
My original point is this - Most of our fears are based on emotions and unfounded speculation. Believe me, at one point, fear was controlling my life. I suffered panic attacks every time I was in a stressful situation. Going to church or just out to eat with friends was a big struggle for me. It wasn’t rational, but it was fear that was driving my actions. Today, I can thank God that He delivered from all of that.
Now, if I lived in a drug infested and high crime community, I would have bars on my windows, and double locks on my doors. It’s only common sense. However, we really need to learn to take precautions in life based on real risks. Besides pastoring a church, I make my living in safety management. You know, sometimes just breathing air is risky, but we have to do it. Driving is risky, but we do it. On the other hand, flying is one of the safest means of transportation available today, yet many people are scared to death to get on a plane. It’s just not rational. It’s my honest opinion that too many people make their risk assessments with demonically corrupted data. Sometimes we need to ask ourselves; are our fear driven actions really telling God that we don’t trust Him? Just food for thought.
