I’m no gun nut. Aside from a belief that we all have an inalienable right to defend ourselves, our families, our fortunes and our sacred honor, I’m decidedly NOT a “guns are the answer to everything” kind of guy. I’m AM a believer, however, that it’s better to be prepared (and armed) should something bad go down, rather than taking the Pollyanna approach and hope that a crisis never occurs. But how did I get from “I don’t think guns are a good idea for personal protection”—my original belief system—to where I am today? Sherman, set the WABAC machine for 1980 . . .
