Second Dark Knight Rises killing spree possibly stopped in Ohio

I said "people no longer cry for gun control." I didn't say the media and unscrupulous politicians and media whores don't. They do every time.

You're smart enough to keep temporizing because you know where I'm going with this.

The weapon is the focal point. You cannot imagine walking out your front door without it. The word I'd use for that is not a word you'd like.

I'm not afraid of words. By all means, please use it. I don't know where you're going with this.

It has nothing to do with bravery. I learned my lesson a very, very long time ago. We were having some people over for steaks cooked on the grill and I forgot something. I was very casually dressed. I grabbed my wallet, my keys, and I bolted out the door headed for the grocery store.

I went in, got what I needed, and headed for the checkout counter. Who did I land behind? A giant of a man whom I'd been in a knock down drag out fight with the night before. It took four of us to subdue this dude. I was still sore and covered with bruises. If he had turned around and was as pissed as I was sore, I would have been hosed.

I realized what was going on and slipped off to the back of the store until he was gone. From that day forward, I carry a gun with me every time I leave my home.

Now, don't mince words. I wouldn't have been some sort of Billy Badass had I had a gun on me, but the situation would have been very different had he wanted to start something.

Many people simply forget that help isn't a block over in rural areas. There are areas of this county where it can take 30 minutes to reach running balls to the wall with lights and siren blaring.

See above.

The smilie says otherwise. To be continued...

The smilie I use in every post?

Seriously, I don't know where you're going with anything but I'm open to any question.

I don't criticize your choices. Why do you criticize mine?

Actually having to shoot someone is bad. You have...dreams.

And you don't even point out that the US overdefines/overreports most of its crime stats...
Britain is known for not being as forthcoming. (According to the statistics people at both TBI and FBI...)

Meecrob.

*Gasp!!*

Because it suits her political ideology.

This country has the right to bear arms. No one should have to justify their guns or ammo unless they are committing a crime with them.

No one thinks it odd that people pay out for all kinds of insurances for unlikely scenarios that can happen to them, so why is it so strange that people would want to be armed in the unlikely event a violent crime happened to or around them?

No one is this ignorant. I don't know why all the disingenuous questions and coy run arounds, but it boils down to people want to feel safe and in control and they have every right to in this country. And no one is forced to have a gun if they don't want one, either.

Personal choice...it's a good thing.

I get the feeling the real back and forth won't be as funny...

In the states a few weeks ago I saw a couple of old guys having a fight on the bus. I was enjoying watching these old bastards swear at each other& start swinging punches, and shout, 'i am a vietnam vet!'

It was all good entertainment till i thought they might start pulling out guns on this bus! Fortunatley they didnt, but what sort of society is that, that you cant relax and enjoy watching two old timers knock fuck out of each other!.

Was this in Las Vegas?

yes

No more than carrying a spare tire for your vehicle. I haven't had a flat in over 15 years, but I still carry a spare and religiously check before long road trips that I have the needed tools to do a tire-change. Is that excessive?

I honest to god lost count, but let's see.

Handguns:
Six combat handguns, because I had to try one of each caliber when I first got into shooting to see what I liked best.
A .22 semi-auto target pistol and a .22 revolver for plinking.
A cowboy .45 Colt because it sure looked like fun.
A .44 magnum single action because it's a .44 magnum and everyone should have one.
Three reproduction black powder pistols which I bought when I was making a western with my film school friends.
My great uncle Wally's 2 shitty old revolvers handed down.
Dad's WWII Luger.
A shoebox containing Dad's father's Iver Johnson .32, S&W model 1, Harrington & Richardson .22, and random parts of other junk guns.

Long guns:
A pump shotgun, a Mini-14 and a .22 semi-auto.
A small collection of three western-style lever action reproductions because they are FUN to shoot!
Uncle Wally's gallery .22
Dad's double-barrel 12 Ga, 1903 Springfield and WWII Arisaka.

Plus an unknowable number of AirSoft, MGC, and other "toy" guns.

Most of the hand-me-downs don't get shot. Sentimental value only.

Yes. You should be manly enough to pick up the car by the axle and run to the nearest service station. If Bugs Bunny can do it...

Dunno, only just came back to the board. Got to go through the thread again.
