I wonder what my brother-in-law's gun-nut relative thinks now.

Several of us won't be going to "Aunt Peggy's" house for Christmas dinner this year, as we usually do. Seems that one relative, "David," insists on bringing four -- that's right, four -- guns into the house, even though there will be young children present. "Aunt Peggy" doesn't care. I wonder what she and "David" think now.

I already try to avoid crowds. Add a gun or two into the mix and you're just asking for trouble.

...so that he would be prepared in the case there were such an attacker. I don't have a criticism of his reflexive thinking.
