shooting a pistol

I love this show Bones.

I am going to learn how to shoot a pistol in April. I have always wanted to. I would like to own a pistol. If you break into my house, I will warn you once to get out. If you do not, I will more than likely kill you.

When I was little my brother and I were at home alone and a man broke into the house. He walked right up to us. I said, "Hey mister, who are you!?" and chased him out of the house. Luckily my brother and I are not dead or scarred. It could have ended differently. I want my children to be taught to safely use a gun; Rebekah is coming to the pistol training class as well. She is plenty old enough, and I will feel better knowing she has access to a gun when she is at home alone.
