Some folks just aren't ready to own/carry and that's a risk to us all. A few months after my dad passed away my mom called in a panic, she had just found his revolver and shot her bread making machine trying to unload it. There's still a divot in the kitchen counter where the bullet hit before ricocheting into the bread maker. I'm afraid the bread maker did not survive.
Thank you for indirectly supporting my premise in my post #117.

TV is an active retirement community. Translation; a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands. Do your family...and your neighbors a solid and take a class, go to the range. There is no excuse.

Btw..Sorry for your (bread maker) loss Leroy!
