Now I know I'm going to draw a lot of criticism and Hate from my truthfulness in this comment. I must begin by saying that I am not a violent man whatsoever, no matter what frame of mind that I am in. I hate altercations and I flee from them very quickly. I am both bipolar and a gun enthusiast with a small collection. I have been extremely manic and in the midst of a heated discussion while carrying a firearm. Not once did the thought crossed my mind to use it offensively. Guns has always been a hobby of mine and a source of protection. They are to be used defensively and recreationally, nothing else. With that said, if she was driving towards me I would do my best to get out of her way but if I did not have that choice I would use my gun. It's her or me and I would like to go home to see my family. I understand her frame of mind, spending frivolously is something that I do when I am unstable. Perhaps she thought that she could sell the gift cards to pay for her mother's funeral......
