I am familiar and comfortable with guns (I learned how to shoot when I was 10) it's the people w/ the guns and the circumstances I have concerns about.
The lax gun safety I frequently hear about (or witness firsthand ) is the main reason for these concerns.
I was definitely nervous about making any sudden moves last weekend. The police all seemed calm but we approached the roadblocks with hands in plain sight, moving very slowly.
Keep 'em locked up and don't let anyone know where they are in your home. I shoot very well but hand guns flip me out. My dad had one stolen from his business when I was a kid by a delivery guy whom we had known for a long time and trusted. He used it to kill his teenage girlfriend. She was the daughter of one of my father's good friends and my sister's classmate. It was such an enormous tragedy and I don't think any of us ever really got over it
