Can Your Wife Use Your Rifle?

Thanks to Solomonia I found an excellent post by West Bank Mama about learning to use her husband's rifle:

I didn't need to learn to shoot an M16 twenty years later in order to know that the young liberal I was was wrong and incredibly naive. I had learned on my own that there really were people who wanted to murder my children in their beds.... But learning how to shoot the gun, and imagining myself actually using it do defend my loved ones, did teach me something new. I learned that there is absolutely nothing wrong, and in fact everything right, about using your strength, and skills, and courage to protect others who are weaker than you are - and that whatever pride you may feel at this is completely justified.

Amen. Read The Whole Thing.

i wonder if she'd protect the rights of gay couples to marry outside of a church?

i know, i know, stating that and leaving it open for interpretation is like throwing gasoline on a fire - my bad - i just couldn't resist thworing that question out there to see what owuld happen.

I promise she doesn't care if anyone gets married in or out of a church.

Thank you for the link!
