[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This hits close to home (not pun intended). My husband took up shooting as a hobby and I told him I didn't want a gun around our kids and to not buy one. He got one anyway.   I don't even bring it up because it is a sore subject.  He doesn't say he's going to go shoot at the shooting range. He just goes somewhere else he tells me about and then probably goes shooting after.  I don't like it one bit. He keeps it in the car.  My dad had a rifle that he kept out in the open and occasionally hunted which I was fine with, but my husband is secretive about it. What does he have to hide?     [/quote]

Husband is an idiot to keep the gun in the car.[/quote]

Where should he keep it then if I don't want it in the house?[/quote]

I'm pretty sure he can rent a storage locker at any gun range.[/quote]

He said once it seemed boring to shoot at the range, so I assume he's not that into it as a hobby, and probably has it more for self defense. That probably explains why he'd rather keep it nearby than at a gun range. Still, I think it's dumb to use it for self defense because then you are taking the law into your own hands.[/quote]

In that case he is even more of a fool than I thought before (I'm PP who said he's an idiot to keep a gun in his car), because shooting at a range regularly is an important part of being properly trained and aware of how to use (and not use) a firearm.

Honestly, this DH sounds like a compete freaking moron who is utterly unsuited to own or use a firearm.  If he is going to keep it in his car, stupid as that is, the only place it should be is in the trunk, locked in a safe/lock box that is, itself, securely bolted to the vehicle.  But even that is not optimal.  If he keeps it in the passenger compartment, in many states he is violating the law unless he has a CCW permit or is open carrying.

He sounds like a fool to me.  Does he also understand that if he uses it successfully for self -defense he will likely be spending considerable $ on legal defense expenses even if he is justified.  He sounds like far too many gun owners who have no clue about the extent and nature of the responsibility that goes with owning a firearm and using deadly force.  What a moron.[/quote]
