Tell them to move out...../s
LOL.
I need them more than I need the shotgun. Most of the time, anyway.
ask ‘em if you were bound and gagged in a corner, forced to viewing home invaders raping, torturing and possibly killing them makes them ‘uncomfortable’. ask ‘em if they would rather have had prior planned out defensive procedures put in place by you and they at the home, appropriate (for you, they and your dwelling) firearms available for their/your use in defensive postures, (AND the frequent training, mindset and knowledge of your states legal ramifications to use those weapons if they were employed in a deadly force event to possibly save their/your lives). ask ‘em just what would be more ‘uncomfortable’...I’m thinking you already know the answer, good luck on helping them ‘see the light’, it might save all of your lives.
