So my BF pretty much told me to suck it up and eventually we will have guns in the house. I, personally, HATE guns. 2 of my friends and my great uncle have been murdered and I refuse to have one. I have had a gun pulled on me before for no reason and do not ever want one to enter my house. I understand hunting and "controlling the deer population"...whatever. They do not have to be in the house. I have heard too many stories about kids being curious and something terrible happening. But for some reason I'm just supposed to suck it up?!

The funny thing is.... my dad did have guns in our house and we got broken into and the guns didn't do anything. We still got stuff stolen and nobody was hurt. His parents don't keep guns in their house and have never been broken into or assaulted. As I have said before I have known a few people to be killed by guns and have had guns pulled on me personally.

Am I just overreacting? I feel like even having a gun increases your chances of something happening. Most people don't even know how to properly use or store them. And if someone breaks into your house while you're home I highly doubt you will be in a position to get your gun, take it out, load it and turn off the safety and actually do any good with it. And if its just there to make him feel safer...that's an awfully risky security blanket.

How do I not have a say in what enters my own house? If we have kids together there is absolutely no way I would ever allow a gun anywhere near my kids. I don't even really see a compromise here. But I feel like I have every right to put my foot down and say No!
