Also, as you may or may not know, the Analog Wife works for a local 911 call center. You wouldn’t believe the calls she gets from little old ladies whose husband has passed away and they want to just get the guns out of the house.
Just this last weekend a man called saying his wife was suicidal and he wanted the police to stop by and take all of the guns from his house.
I keep telling her to let them know a plainclothes officer who looks surprisingly like me will be stopping by shortly to gather them up.
She says her bosses might not look upon that very kindly, though.
