TO THE EDITOR:
When I was younger, my parents took me to a friend’s farm and taught me how to properly handle a firearm. When we were done, my father locked all the guns in a safe, except for one.
Our family has always felt safe in our own home.
Yet still, my father kept that one gun out of the safe, because if we were to be robbed, we knew that the burglar wouldn’t have to go to his own gun safe. That burglar doesn’t care about gun laws — he’s already robbing us.
I, and other gun owners like me, take offense to the comic you published Wednesday. I am not worried about the government breaking into my home and robbing my family.
We have been given the right to defend ourselves, and that should never be compromised.
