I only clicked once. Really.
It's too soon for spam, after all.
When we were in DC a couple in our church small group was help up at gunpoint. Their response was to get involved with the Sarah Brady types. Wanted us to sign along. Of course I wouldn't.
Couldn't get them to see that DC has some of the strictest handgun laws in the country and probably more hand gun crimes per capita than just about any other city.
The suburbs where I live now are very safe. A huge percentage of people have guns - either handguns or hunting weapons. There's an accidental shooting every few months (though lots of those are from the city....) and a hunter gets mistaken for a deer every year or so. But our local gas station has never been robbed. I delivered pizzas one summer without worrying about being mugged.
I think the two are related.
That would be exceedingly cool!
Just promise not to laugh at my ignorance about guns in general.
Shotgun would be better than a rifle for home defense... especially in an apartment. You need the opposite of long range ;~D
Ugh. I wake up to gun control? At least Corin is a heroic dwarf!
My little Ruger .357 had a nice workout yesterday. :-)
Good mornin' - I think - no coffee yet.
Smart gal.
Ramius.... need to consider a shoot-moot here at the gravel pit on Monday after the wedding. Bring guns... I'll bring the targets...
Lots of new target stands going up around town...
12 gauge. I like my pump action. Sister-in-law and I were alone in their apartment with my baby nephew one night when my brother was goin' to A&M. Kinda iffy neighborhood they lived in. Heard somebody comin' up the stairs at about 2AM. We were up talkin' on the couch. Whoever it was tried the doorknob which was locked. We hollered "Who is it." No answer. kept messin' with the doorknob. I was holdin' the baby and she grabbed the shotgun. Sound of the pump action was all it took to send whoever it was runnin' down the stairs.
Oh yes! Ruthy! That would be wonderful huh?
Yep, nice pump action field gun. I have a 20 gauge. And I can go out and shoot clay pigeons a full box of shells longer than the 12 gauge shooters.
Are you gonna hang around then? - There was talk of you going off visiting somewhere Yakima, or Bellingham or something.
must not comment...must not comment...must not comment...
You know what I really want? A phaser. You set it on stun most of the time, it has no recoil, and it can be used to start fires if necessary.
Oh, yes, a rifle wouldn't work too well for protection, but they are fun to shoot.
Sounds awesome to me! I'm pro-2nd amendment, yet I've never fired a shot. Sheesh!
