I would be terrified if I was held hostage.

being seized by a criminal abductor is so terrifying! I always keep a gun in my nightstand just in case

Really?I don't, I wouldn't know how to use it anyway.  Of course in the movies hostage situations can be entertaining, I guess.

i go to the range with my husband so he taught me how to use it. have you ever heard about bride kidnapping? it's also known as marriage by abduction

No, I have not heard about it, what is it?
1_Wizard
it's a practice in which a man abducts the woman he wishes to marry

I guess it was some ancient thing.  I don't believe it would be allowed anywhere today, right?
1_Wizard
yes, not in the US but it continues to occur in Central Asia, part of Africa and some other places

How awful.  But there are very hostage situations here in the U.S. sometimes, even if they are the regular type.
1_Wizard
yes, i agree, it is horrible. i'm so glad i wasn't forced into marriage. i'm in a beautiful interracial marriage
