The Washington Post WASHINGTON — A grand feast of marinated steaks and jumbo shrimp was winding down, and a group of friends was sitting on the back patio of a Capitol Hill home, sipping red wine. Suddenly, a hooded man slid in through an open gate and put the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old girl. "Give me your money, or I'll start shooting," he demanded, according to Washington, D.C., police and witness accounts.

I would have hugged him real tight while I bought up my knee into a very vital area then would have called 911.

“Maybe the liberals are right. Hug a thug.”
I wouldn’t count on it. I suspect that some group of anti-gun nuts decided to pull a hoax.

you can’t have too many books, too many red wines, or too much ammunition.

His whole emotional tone turned — like, we're one big happy family now. I thought: Was it the wine? Was it the cheese?" I'd have "turned his whole emotional tone"...
Not with wine or cheese.
Glad the kid didn't get macked, but these folks are pansies.

I'd have hugged him. And just as I did, shot him in the heart.
Oh, wait... I wouldn't have had a gun on me at a backyard barbecue!

I wouldn't have had a gun on me at a backyard barbecue! Why not?
Heck, hereabouts we usually have a couple out on the table showing them off.
Or a couple elsewhere that aren't showed off.
To: LibWhacker
I would have. CC 100% of the time past the front door for many many years. (the time you don’t have it will be the time you need it.)
To: humblegunner; LibWhacker; Eaker; eastforker
Hell, we even have toy guns hanging around the place. We each could pull on of those out and say ‘bang, bang, you’re dead’.
