A mind changed

It’s Easter Sunday. I’m in my kitchen reading the my favorite section of the Spokesman: Roundtable. In this edition are two letters, one from Jeff Hall, the other from Dan Bieber.

My initial response to both was rage! My second, more considered response, was OK. I will buy a small gun, learn to use it properly, carry it close to my body and easy to use (as I do Bear Spray when out hiking) and maybe someday I will save someone’s life. Now I just have to tell my husband what I’ve decided to do!
