Group Beyond Blue member Meg started an interesting conversation on the discussion thread titled “A Question” on Group Beyond Blue.<\/a> To tune into the dialog click here<\/a>. I have excerpted some responses below.<\/p>\n

Group Beyond Blue Co-Chair Luthitarian wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

When planning release of clients from mental health care, one of the sets of questions asked have to do with potential risks in the home environment. One of those is “Are there any guns in the house?” You’ve raised an important point.<\/p>\n

And the question is not whether he will ever be able to forgive you afterwards? It’s a matter of what precautions he and you will take before hand?<\/p>\n

Also, what kind of gun is he talking about getting? What will be its intended use or purpose?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Group Beyond Blue Co-Chair Mel wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I’m shuddering because how irrational that sounds. But that is part of the illness. It messes with our thought processes and gets us to the wrong conclusions about everything. And that’s the important part about responsible gun ownership. I would even go so far as to create a sign in advance ‘no guns in the house’ so that if you are incapable of verbalizing how you feel, you could still put the sign out for your own safety. The other option would be for you to never know the combination to the gun safe.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Group Beyond Blue Member Belleo wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

(((Meg))) I share with my sister deep down things . She makes me promise not to own a gun . I am not afraid of owning a gun today . I know what I need to do when the strife rises .I pack my suitcase and visit people that care about me , such as family and friends .<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
