[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, have you never actually had a conversation with these relatives about their guns? What type of guns, what they are used for, how they are secured?

You come across as being very condescending. It sounds like you have made little effort to learn about anything.

I'm from an area that doesn't have a lot of "gun culture" of any sort. My family never had guns. However, when we moved to NoVa (not close-in) it became apparent that many people were were getting to know have guns, including one mom who I've become close friends with.

I asked her about it, and her response was "The question isn't whether or not someone has guns, it's whether and how they are secured."

OP, you need to do some open-minded learning. [b]There is a huge difference between handguns under mattresses and rifles in a gun safe.[/b][/quote]

Exactly. So why don't OPs relatives tell her how they're secured?  Instead of a vague, "it's fine, it's all good" (which means nothing), why don't they say something like, "I have three guns and each is locked in a safe.  Only spouse and I have the code."  Then she could stop asking. [/quote]

because they do not trust OP and think s/he is judging them. Remember this is family. there's decades of crap behind these interactions. [/quote]
