- In this posting, I'm not providing a solution. Instead, I have a
- similar but worse problem. I'm considering to drop her because of
- her attitude toward my guns/security plans. Let me tell my story
- and you guys can give me suggestions.
-
- I have been seeing this girl for a short while. She grew up in a Michigan
- rural area and is an attorney ( not my favorite type though ). Recently,
- I found out that she used to a DA ( the anti-gun type ) and still has
- a *VERY* strong prejudice against handguns.
-
- She even hates my security alarm and comments that I'm paranoid to
- have all these things installed. Her reasoning is that no one is going
- to bother me, and my guns will only hurt myself. She claims that she has
- shot .22 rifles before. ( So, taking her to a range will not help at all. )
- She points out that I'm living in my own "jail" by having all these
- motion sensors and by having the "fantasy" of arming/defending myself.
-
- So, do I have a solution to this problem? Guys?
