Decision to buy a gun
A young woman who lives alone hears that a neighbor’s apartment was broken into. She knows that neighbor. The woman is just like her – single, full-time job, pet cat, and part-time student. Not one of those old-white-guy-NRA-gun-nuts by any means. It’s terrifying to think that somebody is breaking into apartments in the neighborhood. What does the person want, money? What if it’s a rapist? So, the young woman decides to purchase a gun and keep it, loaded, in the top drawer of her nightstand. She thought about moving, but that would have cost her a lot of money, and it would have been really disruptive and time consuming. She thought about getting a watch dog, but then she would have all the responsibilities that go along with having another pet. Dogs are more trouble than cats by a lot. She thought about trying to find a roommate, but she wasn’t sure she could find anyone whom she really would want to share her apartment with. And finding someone would take a lot of time and effort, too. Forget that, the burglar-rapist-whatever-jerk is in the neighborhood right now. And she thought about just doing nothing, after all she has a deadbolt on the door and she’s on the third floor so sleeping with a window open isn’t that much of a risk
