Any reasonable person would likely list pregnant women and women with an infant or toddler in tow as some of the most vulnerable members of society.
Melody Lauer is a mother of three AND a gunnie, so she might know a thing or two about how to safely carry around “the chillens”.
Most parents would do anything to protect their baby, including owning a firearm. Now, one Iowa woman is doing what she can to make sure those that do own a weapon know how to handle them properly around their children.
Melody Laurer, a mother who has worked concurrently at a parenting center and at a gun store, has started a workshop at Crossroads Shooting Sports in Des Moines. She says she saw a spike in terms of parents purchasing guns to protect their children, but never had a dialogue or tutorial on how to handle them.
“We have seen a huge insurgence in young mothers, mothers of young children, wanting to get into firearms. And what’s happening is we don’t have instructors that are addressing their needs. So they just do it. They don’t do it right and then they end up having an accident,” said Laurer.
Laurer’s not an advocate for or against guns, merely knowing how to use them. Her class on carrying a baby with a concealed weapon has been met with a lot of intrigue.
Tis a pity that folks on the left are already mad at her for breeding past a limit they deem acceptable. They also think she should sit down, shut up and be ok with the possible victimization of herself and other parents.
