| I guess it depends on what age you're looking for a girl.
If, at 40, I found myself in the position of being out there dating again... I believe I would be ok with them being freaked out as long as they're not adamant about it. I might be freaked out by some of the things they've developed as interests in their first 3 or 4 decades. A willingness to be open and adapt to a person's interests would be necessary.
If I was twenty-three again, out there looking, most of that age-group women are going to be fresh out of school. Academia is a weird, socially-insulating environment that tends heavily toward the liberal-intellectual and avoiding some of the harsh realities of everyday life. Trust me... that idealist girl of 22 will have a very different outlook given another few years and, absolutely, after childbirth.
NOTHING will turn a sweet, demure, turn-the-other-cheek young lady into a raging killer than motherhood and the thought of someone hurting her little one.
If she left just because of the issue of owning guns, I'm suggesting to you there were other reasons. Be content she is gone and move on.
I'm also suggesting all of you young men to not be so harsh about that young, cute anti- in the window. Time and maturity changes many things as long they understand you will have your own opinion and make your own choices.
Pami - Didn't she write about crying as she stared at the P-22 sitting on the bed, newly acquired by Lars, as she was afraid of guns?? Look at her now. NOT the same viewpoint in the pink hat and the AR.
