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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
