Ever caught yourself alone with the kids and heard a scary noise?
Ever been embarrassed during small talk at the playground because you refered to a rifle as a pistol or a shotgun as a hand gun? Ever heard another mom discussing bullets and only belatedly realizing that she was not talking about formatting documents in Word?
Silly mom, why don't you have a gun?
Welcome to the first in a what we full intend to be a screamingly hilarious series of:
Because the more you know, the badder you can be.
This week: why didn't you know that you're supposed to have a gun?
Bad Moms Know that parenting sometimes require bringing out the heavy artillery. What we *didn't* know was that some parents have, historically, taken that literally. Apparently if you don't know your way around firearms, you just aren't a competent mom. Or so thinks Major Dad and that freaky lady who looks like Mrs. Doubtfire and, presumably, Sarah Palin. Enjoy and learn!
Heh.
Let me count the how many fire arms I own...
More than the fingers I have on both hands I can tell you...

I am just like the mom in the episode. I had a stalker and I had a gun, but I never knew how to use it and ended up moving out of the state because of him. This video, does help one feel better about getting one.

@homemom3 - I am so sorry -- very sorry -- that this happened to you and that you move due to a stalker. That is terrible. And just so you know, the reason I'm poking fun at this video is very plain and simple: the portrayal of women with guns in this video is condescending beyond belief. The topic may be relevant, but the way it was written with a "silly woman" tone was just too hard to ignore. I hope your life is much more peaceful now.
