Taking a break

Changes are in the works for 7 Suns, so we're putting the blog on hiatus and will back at you later.

Self Defense

Some think the best self defense is having a gun to protect one’s self. In my opinion if you are not trained how to properly use your gun, buying a gun has just added to your danger.

Here are some resources that I found of interest.

No Nonsense Self Defense focuses on preventative actions

Self Defense from Teen Health

However, I am by no means an expert on this topic. I would love to hear from any of you who know more about this than I do!

Gun Safety

For those getting their kids guns or who have guns in the house, learning and teaching gun safety is of prime importance. In fact, I think all children should learn about gun safety. You never know when they are going to come across a gun at a friend’s house. I remember taking a gun safety course when I was twelve. These days I’d suggest starting younger.

Here are 4 resources for gun safety:

National Rifle Association Gun Safety Rules – includes a link to “Parents' Guide To Gun Safety”

Gun Safety from Kids Health

Kid Friendly site from the FBI on Gun Safety

Gun Safety - Prevent Accidents - Put Safety First! from Guns Magazine

10-month-old Illinois baby gets a gun permit

It’s old news, but a coworker just sent me this link to the article which also offers a video.
I don’t know about you, but seems ridiculous to me. At least it wasn’t a concealed carry permit… (If you have trouble getting the video to play, try this link.)

Speaking of concealed carry, I came across this site run by people who want to help people know what the laws are from state to state. Click on the state a permit was issued in and see which states honor that permit.
