Question of the Day: What Gun for Mum?

By Robert Farago

After my father died, my mother continued to summer by the sea. One night, as my SUV’s tires crunched goodbye on the stone driveway, I looked back at the house.

Predictably enough, my anti-gun mum was shocked when I suggested she keep my revolver by her bed. Offended. Angry. But I felt duty-bound. When someone spends a large part of their life protecting you, offering them a tool for self-defense is the right thing to do. Even if they won’t receive it.
