My son had his first check-up at the pediatrician today. Taking after his mother, he got a perfect score on all tests, and finished early. However, one thing was odd. On the "patient history" form, that I filled out it asked a wide-variety of questions about conditions in the house "smoking or non?"; "heat or no?" "is your water fluoridated?" which all seemed relevant to caring for the child and the child's health. These are all normal questions. The odd part was the last section, which asked whether there were firearms in the home, how many, and what kind?
Now, obviously unattended or lose firearms in the home can be a danger to children. But so can my power tools, painting supplies, cabinets with sharp corners, stairs, and a plethora of other things. Why the focus on firearms? I'm not sure. In any event, I refused to answer those questions out of general principle. Our pediatrician was cool with it and laughed it off. In any event, the issue reminded me of this article I read that had some interesting pictures of women (or "chicks" as they prefer to be called) with guns. Even if you don't read it, the pictures alone are worth a look.
Here's my favorite.
Which one (gun or chick) do you like? By the way, Pamela (with the .454) is packing some serious heat.
A stun gun is an effective self-defense weapon that is perfect for both men and women. This is like a gun but the difference is that it is non-lethal, which is why it is perfect for self-defense purposes only. Many people are showing interest in this kind of weapon since it is helpful to protect themselves against people with bad intentions like burglary, homicide, rape or murder.
