Addressing your original comment though. I generally agree. And I think it sucks that a slogan and article of clothing makes somebody (or millions of somebodies) go nuts. It is getting really tough to not feel like you are living in a run up, a "cold civil war" of sorts that will actually become "hot" at some point in another decade or two.
It’s getting HOT on the other side already.
And you guys from the south/midwest that use guns like I use my car have at least a chance if someone jacks you.
I have been to ranges but maybe a dozen times in my life and that’s good enough to shoot a 200 pound target at the front door but not so good in a situation where you really need to know how to use it.
A blackjack (do they call it that anymore?) in the pocket would be good though.
