Due to MA gun laws, CLEOs in towns/cities have final say on CCW. No CCWs in our town; CLEO is VERY anti-gun.
Still, I was sleeping out in the tent in the backyard here in suburban MA with the kids last night (trying to take their minds off it all) and was woken by a tremendous crash in the woods out in back of us around 3 AM- in an instant, I jumped out with a large flashlight in one hand, a pistol in the other- all I could think of was: Jesus Christ, I am going to get arrested if I use this, and my God, I have a family to protect- what happens if I DON'T use it?
I wonder how many other people are in the same position. Moving is not an option.
BTW I saw nothing out there- probably some animal, but- who knows? Anything is possible after last week.
I had a long time getting to sleep after that- the kids, however, never woke up (8, 6 and 4), the whole time. Lucky- must be nice to be a kid.
