Thanks for the reply Galen.
I would gladly put a post together on it for The Pew. Looking back now, I still feel that I made the right choice and I'm grateful that I made it out of those years of work alive on the other side. Perhaps I inherited some of my mothers traits that helped me in this regard, I like to think so anyway.
In terms of now, I would very happily have a fire arm at home for self defense as I feel that is a different ball game, I suppose one answer doesn't fit all scenarios.
Have a good evening
Cheers
Your mum must have been a warrior.
I'll look out for your post.
