yup. i got certified in firearms safety. this is the first step to being able to get a license to carry. do i want a gun? probably not. owning a gun is one of the best ways to get shot. i am incredibly klutzy, and a wee bit paranoid, which seems like a bad combination when you add a gun into the mix. i am likely to shoot myself. or the cat. so i don't really want a gun. but i would like to have the right to have a gun.a permit for mace, in the state of massachusetts, costs $100, and involves getting a background check, finger-printed, etc. all to carry a non-lethal weapon. a license to carry a firearm, on the other hand, costs $100, and involves getting a background check, finger-printed, etc. and at the end of it you can have mace in your purse, a shotgun in your car, a revolver in the bedside table, and a pistol shoved down the back of your pants.
to me, the choice seems clear.
but keep watching this space. i am likely to get denied for a license to carry. it is going to be interesting, i think.
again, i don't want a gun. but i am going to be hella pissed if they tell me i can't have one.

Congratulations! The establishment now thinks you're "Trustworthy"
OK. All kidding aside. Cool Beans!
But I'm going to stand by my credo that "Real Men" don't use guns. We insert the bullets by hand.
