Dancing around the responsibility that comes with a firearm, eh?

It’s not overly difficult to obtain a firearm legally or illegally.

Requirements, insurance and mandated responsibilities for a driver’s license is greater than that for a firearm in your home.

An employee asked if I’d buy a raffle ticket her daughter was selling to help the volunteer fire department she belongs to. I said I would, expecting to pay $1 to $5 for a 50-50 drawing or similar.

Nope, the ticket was $20 and it was for a Gun Bash. So, best case scenario I’m out twenty bucks. Worst case scenario I’ll win a Glock and have to find a way to sell it. IIRC Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace do not allow guns.
