It is always good to have a gun around sometimes to take care of things that need taking care of swiftly and humanely. People don't realize sometimes how humane using guns can be, especially on a farm!<br /><br />Check out my blog if you get a chance and leave a comment with any feedback you may have. I'd love to hear it! I'm just getting started.<br /><br />http://lana88blog.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09664068521097565025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-55295159285455759672013-03-16T05:29:28.157-07:002013-03-16T05:29:28.157-07:00I just want to thank you for this post and sharing...I just want to thank you for this post and sharing the voice of the farmer. I wasn't raised in a "gun household" but I come from a family of small time farmers and my boyfriend is a hunter. These people are responsible for what they do, they shoot out of respect or necessity (in the case of putting down animals), there is a sense of gratitude and honor as well....I think the farmer's voice is something folks don't necessarily consider in the gun debate.<br /><br />I pray for a commonsense approach to all of this...there are a great many folks who utilize firearms safely on a daily basis - and to hinder their way of life because the system is broken is not fair.UrMultifacetedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945840089088078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-78468253889128656492013-03-15T10:54:31.834-07:002013-03-15T10:54:31.834-07:00"Uncle" Dale...

I'm going to have my husband (a hunter when young) read this tonight, he'll find it right up his alley... and as I said, I have come around to this belief, too.

What I have now is a backyard farm. Backyard farms come in all sizes - large and small; and in all locations - open and secluded. I completely agree that firearms would be irresponsible on many backyard farms.

You have a farm.<br /><br />My kids shoot BB guns at cub scout camp, not in the backyard. When I was a kid (in a more-suburban, less urban, larger-lot neighborhood) kids and a pet (and squirrels) were injured by an 8-year-old who was shooting squirrels with the BB gun his grandfather gave him. In his own backyard--because the world did not end with his yard, though he didn't realize that.<br /><br />I cannot imagine shooting a gun of any significant power in a backyard. That's very very dangerous and irresponsible.Dreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059983303403184992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546718730043897500.post-84609136142117978102013-03-15T05:19:41.110-07:002013-03-15T05:19:41.110-07:00YES!!!!
