Thank you for the replies. It's hard to talk with your best friend when she is totally out to lunch with hatred. I never realized that postpartum changes someone that much. I suppose some of it is guilt from me finding out 2 years ago that my 8 year old daughter is not mine from a 12 year marriage. Sigh.

Feel free to call me an idiot but her rage was so intense that I asked the Deputies to come over and help me secure and store my firearms for me. I have receipts for everything marked "Voluntarily given" and they were extremely cool about the whole thing. One of them was a Marine and we had a great time fooling with the AR's, he even mentioned that he'll have the armorer fix my ejector on my 870 for me. He gave me some shit about using an EOTech though, "all we had were iron sites in my day!" which was funny. "But at least I could go FullAuto!"

Very very nice Deputies, frankly I was amazed at how nice and understanding they were. I'll get everything back once things cool down but I'm glad to have all of my firearms out of the house and stored in a safe location for right now. Although I sure miss shooting paper; it was one of my ways to take a break and have some quiet time by myself.
