Mister's family had guns in the house and the only incident close to an injury was that he hit his granny with a suction dart from a kid's toy. It bounced off her, of course. Used to be, kids listened to their daddy when he said, touch that and I'll whip your ass.

Likewise we have had a loaded pistol in the house for the last 13 years. It's never even been fired in all that time.

If anyone tries to take my muzzleloader I'll just shoot 'em with my bow and arrow. ;-) Then I'll whack them upside the head with my cast iron skillet. After that I reckon people will want to ban skillets.
