I don't like guns around. My husband (an ex-marine) always says that if you carry a gun then you'd better be prepared to use it. I'd probably shoot myself in the foot or carry it around like Barney Fife did with the one bullet in my pocket.

Her first and only opportunity was in the very beginning. His choices to her were, come with me or I will hurt your babies. She put both of her toddler sons in one crib and left with King.

She's a beauty. :thumbup:
