“I don’t fume at the world brother I just point out stupidity where I can. Gun threads on FR have gotten to be fertile ground lately.”

Remember, you are not a captive on gun threads, you have the option of going to a Starbuck’s coffee thread and if there isn't one, you could start one. I like Cafe Latte with extra foam.

The local constabulary flashes lights in the window (from the street) when they pull up becuase they know I'm hard of hearing and will only meet with them outside.

When I left the keys hanging on the front door for about a week, the cop told me, John, you can't bait like that.

Funny thing, they always look down to see what I'm wearing. ;)

I'm the guy that gets them in trouble because their situational awareness is less than good. I try to make noise when walking up on them, so they don't react badly.

I'm less than worried about the local yokels. I'd catch a bullet for any of them. Even the fat chicks are good people.

church goer’s

I won't go to a church where most folks aren't carrying.

You might want to take that chip off your shoulder.

Well I am not a coward and I’ll openly state that I have every gun I ever purchased.

Come and get them!

My pointing out the tiresome crap from a few is no different than telling a buffoon that his fly is open. I consider it a service but don’t care if they remedy the situation or not. If they want to be tiresome it is their affair.
Good evening and good whiskey to you.

I’m pretty sure the top three photos are from the Florida Gun Exchange store in Holly Hill, Florida. Great store with very knowledgeable staff.

On 2nd thought, maybe not, but it sure looks a LOT like it.

Ahh - gotcha. Often times that would be a two-fer. Not worried about goin’ down swingin’ - I’m goin’ home to Jesus anyways....

Well, I have a better mental picture of you since it is now winter. I think you have pants on now. Note I paged Kart since he is interested in your choice of body coverings as the seasons pass. Just think, if you lived up north, you’d almost have to wear covering clothing most of the year.

Most of the men I know CC at church. Don’t know about the ladies, though.

“...it is their affair.” Good, so you won't have to “rock their boat” any more about their losing their guns when the boat turned over.

Our gun friends on these threads have been out a lot of money from losing their guns in a boat accident. You don't seem to have empathy for their losses. A pity.

Good evening to you, as well, sir.

I expect on Tuesday next, I'll be toasting "friends not present". And a bunch of smelly barstids that I happen to be related to, for certain values of related, will lift their glass.

Tonight, I'm stuck with coffee and later, some cheap store-bought beer.

Why does zero keep doing things to shoot weapons sales thru the roof, over and over again?

Can Jarrett seriously not put 1 + 1 together?

"Just think of George Bush and Cheney saying we have to give up our guns or even one particular gun or one type clip/magazine."

Hate to break it to you sister, but that horse left the barn about two years ago...

I have every gun I ever purchased.

I traded a few and sold a few I wish I hadn't. Sentimental value more than monetary. My first being a Winchester Model 94 that I ordered from the J C Penney catalog.

Well good luck.

My relatives are my wife and our progeny and their progeny.

Life is good.

Take care!

Gun confiscation would require a SWAT team to go door to door like a nationwide Fallugah in every little town and major city in the land, either simultaneously or in blitz fashion.

I guessing it won't look like that.

First, they pass a law making, let's say, AR15s illegal to own.

Then they can use this law to pick up any offender, at their own pace, selectively.

No need to make a dangerous sweep. Just enforce the law as they wish, like they do now.

My regret is selling my ‘72 Chevelle SS.

Merry Christmas!
