Why we have guns in our house

Was just reading up on the CAH website and found this post about this woman's house being broken into. She threw things at the burglar and tried to hit him with a bat. I don't think this jerk would have been able to run away had he tried this at my house. If the click-click sound of me cocking my shotgun didn't make his blood run cold and cause him to take off, his entire body would be getting cold in my bedroom floor.

This is awfully scary. Her main concern is her CAH daughter getting so stressed from the fear and having an adrenal crisis. See, with CAH, when our children have physical stresses to their bodies, we have to increase their meds. In a healthy person's body, when we get stressed, our bodies naturally create more cortisol to counter it. In a CAH patient, their body makes ZERO cortisol, so we have to replace it synthetically (like a diabetic does with insulin). So, I am going to highly recommend this mom up her child's dosage. I would also recommend buying a gun and hitting the shooting range for a little target practice.
