Hello:
my son in law comes from a religious good family. his father was a male nurse, also on his own time, he would do home repair for the poor and would not charge them. when my son in law was in college, he worked part time at a bike shop and for xmas, he purchase a bike for his dad where you lean back and the pedals are up front. a day or two before xmas, he gave his father the new bike. the next morning he had a test at college, and needed to borrow his fathers car. his father said take the car to school, and i will take the new bike you gave me. well as fate would have it, a young woman with a baby in the back seat ran a stop light and hit him on his bike, she fled the seen. next morning she told her parents what happened and they took her to the police dept. my son in law's father was unable to work again, he could not speak, needed 24 hour care. his father lost income,could not work again, had to sell a rental property that he owned, had to sell a car etc. the son and daughters would take turns feeding their father, bathing him, taking care of all his needs. one evening the church called, and wanted to drop over with a meal for the family. my son in laws mother was out of the house at the time, his younger sister was in the house with him and my daughter, his fiance. there was a knock on the door, it was winter, it was dark out, he opened the door, and a young teenager said "what time is it"? my son in law, did not understand the question at first, then 3 guys ran him over and came into the house with guns. they threanted them, stole items from the house, no one was hurt. my son in law and daughter are now very scared since this incident happened. he just started trap shooting and wants to purchase a handgun for protection. i suggested that he use his 870 with a skeet barrel that i gave him, but he also wants to purchase a handgun. he lives in a nice neighborhood, these thugs drove to this area, and have been doing this to other people. since this happened, the father has passed away. forgot to tell you, the judge gave the young woman probation for the hit and run, and she also had to take drivers ed classes again. i feel this is unbelieavable, probation and drivers ed?? i told him the 870 is enough, he still wants a handgun. any ideas on a hand gun for protection, under $500.00 new. do you think i should talk him out of getting a hand gun too? i feel the 870 is enough.
thanks,
