always to.

my brit neighbor served in their army and so is familiar with hi-powers. i offered him a hungarian clone, which gets the job done, and he broached it to his wife.
“hey, jo- what do you think about having a gun in the house for protection?”
“you’re not bringing a gun into this house.”
“why not?”
(few seconds pause…) “because i’d shoot you with it.”

yeah, i got that response when i commented on a rare strange beauty years ago. my friend said “somewhere there’s someone who can’t stand the sight of her.”

Since nov [you know, the election!]…I may actually want some weapons should brown coats go door to door.

Husband proposes over-the-top safe firearm ownership to protect the lives of all family members from criminal attack.
Wife forbids firearm ownership which endangers the lives of all family members (in the event of criminal attack).
Wife thus elevates dogma over the lives of her family.

I consider the wife to be an existential threat to the family. The husband is therefore doing a disservice to his family if he keeps the wife around. That is incredibly sad but true.

Fun thought: if the husband can keep ammunition at a friend’s home, why not keep firearms at the friend’s home as well? They are just as readily available as keeping the firearms at home and the ammunition at the friend’s home. And yet both the firearms and the ammunition would be available within several minutes if some catastrophe was imminent.

Shire-man,

I am still laughing out loud. Sadly, your comment is spot-on.

Darkman,

The husband confirmed your assertion with his statement, “… I relinquished [to my wife] any idea that I would have …”

Any husband who relinquishes his responsibility to provide for the safety of his family is a beta-male by definition.

I compiled a list to help navigate that other site when moderation got bad. I have not tested all of these here since you can’t edit comments. I might test it on an old article some day since Dan doesn’t allow us to edit or delete comments.

FYI: you can post intact links on this and the other site now. Also, since the other site’s makeover, it appears that the moderation is mostly gone. I tested several of the words in one comment, and it posted without moderation. Hey Dan, that means they got one up on you. You should really look into revising this setup.
