I grew up in a gun owning family, but my mother-in-law is a bleeding heart liberal. When we first talked about guns after the Brady bill passed and she started arguing about how bad guns were, I pulled out my little Ruger SP101 I had at the time. Laid it on the table and sat there saying nothing else. After a minute or so of uncomfortable silence, she asked what that was about. I looked down at it, back up at her, back down at the pistol, back up at her, then said "that thing hasn't jumped off the table and killed anyone has it?" "if they are so bad, why isn't it running out the door shooting up a school or something?". I get along great with her and she has accepted the fact that I am going to continue to carry those evil things.
