I was out canvassing yesterday, and heard a story from one of my fellow canvassers - a new OFA volunteer who's just moved to a new community about an hour south of Nashville.
He shared this story:
"My neighbor pointed a gun at my dog yesterday. So that shook me up quite a bit. I mean, I understand the 2nd amendment and everything, but ... the dog is 8 months old.
"So I go outside and my dog had gotten out into the neighbor's yard and then I see the neighbor pointing a shotgun at my dog. I asked my neighbor what he was doing and he said, 'Well, I scared him, didn't I?' I couldn't believe it."
We've still got some work to do here in Tennessee. It's a basic lesson we need to learn - you don't point guns at your neighbor or your neighbor's kids or your neighbor's dog.
