Neighbor lady. Older, not elderly (late 60s), but very much a frail, poorly active older lady. Yesterday she was asking me about small automatics (she doesn't want a revolver), like "what's the smallest gun they make that's like a Glock?"
I had no idea what she was talking about, but after a bit, I realized she was saying she wanted something that was a semi-auto, not a revolver. Then she was asking how much the class costs, etc.
Problem is, I don't think she needs a gun. She does NOT have the mentality to use it, won't train or practice with it, it'll probably go in a drawer and never come out. God forbid she keeps it in her purse, I don't even want to think about her carrying.
This is a woman who won't do a damned thing for herself, constantly is trying to get everyone else to do EVERYTHING for her, I mean... seriously, I do not want to be responsible for helping her get a gun. Noway, nohow.
I think if I just ignore it and act uninterested, she will forget about it or let it drop. She always wants to get whatever it is we have - she had to get a fancy phone, which she always screws up and wants me to fix. Same with her internet setup, router, television and home theater setup (constantly having to fix that, too), kitchen appliances she never uses - she just wants to feel like she's keeping up. I don't want anything to do with it.
Any suggestions on how to discourage her if she brings this up again?
