27. It's perfectly acceptable to be...
...afraid of what a person threatening you might do with a weapon. Any weapon. What is over the edge in my book is just being afraid of the weapon itself.

Case in point: I forget where I read this but someone related a story of his mother in law refusing to sleep in the spare bedroom because there was a gun safe in it. Now I only wish that my MIL were that easy to get rid of , but that seems to describe someone with Hoplophobia.
