One of the reasons I find people NOT taking the class is that they see this as kind of a "gun owner database", and they don't want the government knowing they have guns.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Is this sort of over the top paranoia common in your area? Does everyone have panic rooms? Or is the crime in your area at some sort of post-apocalyptic levels where panic rooms actually are needed and used regularly? Have you considered medication to reduce your extreme paranoia?"I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

The door on the right is the door from our bedroom to the bathroom. When it's wide open - which it almost always is - you don't even know there's a closet behind that door. Pretty much anything we think could be a danger to our kids is in that closet.

I love that lockset - unless you put the combination in, the handle just swings free, and since it opens out, you really don't have any leverage to open the door - you'd just rip the handle off.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
