As a lawyer, I have the deepest respect for the Second Amendment and an individual’s right to bear arms. But as I parent, I feel strongly about my right to keep my children out of situations where firearms are present. This bright-line rule served me well, until last month when I learned that my parents and other extended family members had recently obtained handguns and concealed-carry permits.
Asking potential playdates if there are guns in the house and declining if there are is one thing, but when Grandma’s got a gun, deciding what measures to take to keep your kids safe can get very tricky. |

| Holding her family's right to sefl-defense hostage to her obsession is not only unfair, it's unacceptable. |

I don't believe she has any respect for the second amendment and an individual's right to bear arms.
She'd be way ahead if she taught here kids safe gun handling instead of pretending they will never encounter a gun. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
