Personally I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
“Personally I’d rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.”
That’s exactly my reply when asked why I, a field radio operator, was carrying an M-16 with 500 rounds rather than a .45. I got down to 120 rounds during one op and had to divvy those up with my buddies.
Never ran out, though!
(truth in reporting: On second thought, I had dropped down to 300 rounds by then)
I have had a gun for one year now & have pathetically shot it once. We have no shooting ranges around. I am going to check into the next sheriff’s dept. gun safety class for women.
This is my fear; it seems that when someone does shoot an intruder that it is a crapshoot. Will the shooter be found guily of a crime or vindicated? It is scary times we live in, even my liberal mother is starting to acknowledge that something is very wrong in the ghetto culture and that she needs to be very afraid. People are becoming less & less afrid to speak out about the complete thuggery that is going on.
I just got back from NC & my brother & I were at the Asheville mall on a Sunday. It was crowded & we had to park way out. As we parked this super thuggy looking young guy was walking past us & had a smirk on his face; I am not a fear monger, but he looked like someone to be afraid of. By the way, my brother is 6 feet and weight lifts & he was even creeped out by the guy. It’s bizarre to feel threatened so much of the time.
