Just came back from the beach in Wilmington North Carolina. I always enjoyed the cape fear serpentarium there, and after doing some research before my trip, I found out the serpentarium no longer exists. The owner was shot and killed by his bi polar wife. One hour before his death an opportunity presented itself that could have stopped the whole situation. His wife was technically insane at the moment and dialed 911 saying that two men were attacking her. The police showed up and cleared the situation because the husband said his wife was off her meds and was insane. Mental health issues are so often times overlooked. Somehow an insane woman was able to get her hands on one of his guns and use it to murder her husband. I can't understand why gun enthusiasts like himself would not have his weapons fully secured. I really do not think there is any such thing as a responsible gun owner. His wife was found not guilty for reasons of insanity in his death. I wonder if the police officers on the scene mentioned to remove all weapons from the house, or at least secure them. The gun debate will continue to go on, but there is apparently no way to ensure gun owners are properly securing their weapons.gun owners will always see their weapons as a way of protecting themselves, and they will never see having weapons in a house with a mentally unstable family member is unsafe.
