This is one of the few difficult political decisions for me. While I am firmly in favor of children being allowed to pack heat, the same cannot be said for your average housewife. So, when I get a wife, here's the pivotal question. Should she be allowed to own a gun?
Of course, while I'm there I'd have sole access to the firearms, but knowing how women are tempted to get themselves "raped" anytime criminal breaks in, I feel it is important for her to have some means to defend herself so she can't as easily have plausible deniability.
Plus, who knows, even a broken clock is right twice a day. Maybe if she fires off enough rounds she could eventually hit a criminal. Additionally, my neighbors have noisy dogs, and while I wouldn't personally go after them out of respect for "the law" and all that mumbo jumbo, I can't help it if my wife accidentally were to shoot one (or both!) of those annoying mutts accidentally, could I?
I'd keep the gun locked up while I'm in the house and only unlock it while I'm away at work. Though even this brings up potential problems. I'm worried she might mistake the gun for the TV remote and go blasting away at my television, or mistake it for a kitchen mixing machine and start blasting away my dinner.
I feel like my home should have some sort of defense, and she'd probably be the most qualified person in the home to handle a gun while I'm away, at least until a potential future son I have turns 3-4, and barring the happenstance that the family pet happens to be particularly smart and picks up on its training well.
I've considered the possibility that I'm being too lenient with the age requirement as well. While a wife might potentially freeze up and shriek upon seeing a burglar, a toddler, if it had an aptitude for weapons would probably continue to fire off randomly, perhaps this could produce an increased accuracy. It's difficult to know for sure without testing it. Maybe some sort of machine that just fired off a gun at random intervals in random directions while I'm away could also have a similar effect of scaring criminals off. Though again, I'm concerned my TV, dinner, computer etc. would be placed in jeopardy by a machine like this. So I'm open to ideas.
On one hand, I'm in favor of arming anything in everything in sight, on the other, I'm strongly opposed to giving women additional rights. So I hope you can understand the conundrum I'm in.
