Dear Queenie,
I have a pistol that I keep always loaded and locked up in a safe place in the house. When we hired a sitter recently when we went out for an evening, my wife told her about the gun because she thought she had a right to know.
I think she shouldn’t have mentioned it, because it was locked up where the sitter couldn’t find it or get to it. This may even put us in danger, because how do we know she won’t mention it to someone who might break in and try to steal it?
Queenie, what do you think?—Worried husband
Dear Husband,
I think you are right. This kind of information should not be shared.
