I had kind of thing like this. We invited one of my son's friends over for a play date a few years ago. I called the dad, introduced myself, blah blah, anyway, the mom showed up with the kid and as the boys went hooping and hollering outside to play basketball, she asked me if I minded if she asked a personal question. I replied "Ask away". She asked me if I had any weapons in the house.....................I actually didn't know what to say for a moment because I had never been asked this question before in this context. I started running thru my mind of how many handguns, rifles, and shotguns I actually had at that time, I think it was around 25-30, all secured in my walk in gun vault in my bedroom. I told her honestly how many firearms I owned, my experience with these firearms, etc. She looked completely terrified, as if my next move was going to be to take out a weapon and start popping off rounds in the front yard or something. There was visible fear in her eyes about the concept of someone owning that many firearms. I offered to show her my gun vault and prove that no one other than myself has access to it, not my wife or son, but she had already written me off. I just never could understand that. I guess if her son was some kind of lock disarming or lock picking ninja type and was able to bypass my lock on my gun vault then there would have been something to worry about but I just didn't get it. She agreed to let her son stay that day and play but I noticed he never came over again. It's such a different era nowadays. When I grew up there was a shotgun in everyone's pickup, several guns in just about everyone's house......most of us kids knew how to use a gun by the time we could ride bicycles. I understand that is not how it is everywhere but watching someone react so visibly to just knowing they are in the same house with firearms? I don't get it. The AH-HA! moment of this situation? Her husband was ex-Army.....WTF?
