I know from experience she's wrong. She should pray every day that experience doesn't show her how wrong she is.

Having lived up there most of my life I beg to differ. There are places in the north east that have had more reasonable gun laws than Texas or the rest of the country. New hampshire and Vermont are not as restrictrive as as Texas.

Please understand Massachussusetts New York and New Jersey are not the entire north east,

My gun knowledge was a novelty to my fellow paralegals, mostly women who came from Connecticut, New Jersey, and Long Island. I'm not sure if it was the widening of their eyes when I told stories about shooting, their nervous laughter, their sidelong glances at each other, or all three, but I began to realize that my experiences with weapons were not exactly the norm. I began to feel like a caricature, as if I belonged in a Coney Island sideshow as "the rootin' tootin' Texas gun lady."

for a gun, I've come to believe that not having it and not feeling like I need it is, by far, the best way to be.
