> Bah, we have armed groups that I put more faith in. Sorry. Them’s the breaks.
Good luck to you and your armed groups. I hope you never have need to draw down on someone or they on you: they tell me death is an irreversable thing. Not exactly something I’d want to wear on my conscience.
I’ll stick with the Angels, thanks. There’s something appealing to chasing away bad-guys as an unarmed Patrol.
Learning how to throw a good left hook is a heaps more practical life-skill than learning how to hit a bullseye: my left is always loaded, always with me, doesn’t require oiling or even a license.
Yet my left is accurate and decisive, and highly unlikely to put me in the dock in front of the Beak if I have to use it to defend myself.
Nope — unarmed is a much better way to Patrol.
Why do you people always assume that those of who armed don't know how to throw a punch? I happen to have studied martial arts all of my life, holding belts in Judo, Karate, Modern Arnis, and Tae Kwon Do. I can go toe to toe as well as anyone, but you're a lunatice if you think any of the above equals a yellow belt in gun fu.
Btw, is that a bit of liberalism seeping through in your obvious contempt for an armed populace?
