As a lawyer, I have the deepest respect for the Second Amendment and an individual’s right to bear arms. But as I parent, I feel strongly about my right to keep my children out of situations where firearms are present. This bright-line rule served me well, until last month when I learned that my parents and other extended family members had recently obtained handguns and concealed-carry permits.
Asking potential playdates if there are guns in the house and declining if there are is one thing, but when Grandma’s got a gun, deciding what measures to take to keep your kids safe can get very tricky. |

Holding her family's right to sefl-defense hostage to her obsession is not only unfair, it's unacceptable. |

I don't believe she has any respect for the second amendment and an individual's right to bear arms.
She'd be way ahead if she taught here kids safe gun handling instead of pretending they will never encounter a gun. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
