Gun Owning Nurses

Guns aren't very nurse-like?

Some people.....

I don't think the two things are related- at all. It may not be very "California-like", though. I can only think of one person I know of who owns a gun, here. In other places, almost everyone I know owns them.

I have too numerous to count, handguns and long guns, been RN 44.5 yrs......guess they do go together

i have several Henry rifles, they are nice, what is your caliper?

I have been around guns (hunting & self-defense) for as long as I can remember. Not nurse like? That's sorta funny. I'm curious what this colleagues list of "nurse-like" traits looks like.

Definitely an interesting topic for discussion.

Hppy, I feel the same way, about keeping family heirlooms such as this. So nice to keep in the family & pass thru the generations.

(my father made 2 small wooden end tables, before my folks married and although in rough shape, I refuse to let them go.

The right to keep and bear arms is the second amendment right under the constitution.

I own my weapon.. I know how to use it. Whether or not I am a nurse.. has nothing to do with my constitutional rights.

I'm not a gun person, but my DH has a couple of hunting rifles that he never uses but were handed down to him.

I don't see what that has to do with nursing, though. I wouldn't give your coworker the time of day with that comment.

Guns are very common in Northern California (Bay Area aside).

I am a nurse, a lady, and I love guns. She sounds like some liberal that has lived under a rock her whole life!

Some people just do not have an open mind and let the liberal media fill their heads with all the misconceptions about guns and legal gun owners.

I worked in a city emergency department as a nurse so I know the evil that lurks. The guns are not only for stress relief, but also for my safety as I live alone and often hike in the woods alone. I feel MUCH safer sleeping at night as a single woman, with my .40 caliber in my night stand, because I am not naive enough to think the "boogie man" doesn't exist.

If you read my post I did not generalize at all!

Hense the part that says "some people".

Liberalism is not the issue here. OP needs to assert herself in the workplace.

You keep your weapon "in" the nightstand?

As a single woman, I feel much safer sleeping with my weapon .. on top of the night stand. One in the chamber.. 15 in the mag.

So you don't think main stream media is liberal? So why is it that whenever there is a shooting with innocent victims being shot it is all over the news stations, but when someone actually stops a bad guy with their own weapon and does good that there is no mention of it on the media?
