Eh, I got mixed up in that last post there.

This whole work thing keeps getting in the way of my SC time.

If you feel unsafe going to bed without a gun at your bedside, I think you have just ipso facto defined your neighborhood as not nice.

I guess my car is unsafe too, because, ipso facto, it has an air bag.

And my house must be a fire hazard, because, ipso facto, I have a fire extinguisher.

And I plan on dying young, because, ipso facto, I have life insurance.

For a professor, you sure have some dumb definitions and poor logic. I hope that your engineering work reflects better standards than you demonstrated here.

I wish I was paranoid all the time. That must be an awesome way to live.

You wear a reserve parachute in the event of an emergency. Therefore, according to your line of reasoning here, whereby being prepared for emergencies makes oneself "paranoid", that makes you paranoid. It must be terrible to be paranoid of death on every skydive you make.

Hey thanks for reading what that was in response to before replying to me. Instead, you come out with standard "pro-gun" lines by taking my comment out of context.

I responded to a post with the line (a paraphrase) 'how do you know I am not just paranoid all the time?" from sinker.

He has since told me that is not true about him.

Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

It's not paranoia if they're really out to get you.

Eat a lot of beans and keep a lighter on the nightstand. Then if a criminal comes in, it's a matter of mutually assured destruction.

For the people with shotguns: do you have another option for a close encounter in the bedroom when you are awakened by somebody at the end of the bed? I sure like having my wife's Smith and Wesson 5 shot .38 spl under the pillow in addition to standoff weapons.

remind me to never sneak into your house at night to give you a surprise blow job....lol

Actually I was trying to explain that a little modern gun under the pillow is not paranoia, but a simple precaution. The thing isn't gonna go off unless you pull the trigger. We do live out in the middle of nowhere and I used to be gone 2 weeks out of the month so Polly had a gun before we had kids and after. She even had a holster at one time when feeding those stump broke cows. We got trees now.

I don't know man, I know a lot about guns and I've shot most stuff out there. I wouldn't have one under my pillow simply b/c it's UNDER my noggin and I'm not in direct, immediate control over it... just seems too risky...

Well, my wife makes sure which way the barrel is pointed before she goes to sleep. It's ok for it to be pointed toward the wall or my head; just away from her.

Her present gun is a replacement for a model 10 4inch barrel she had for years. Her present gun was supposed to be a Lady Smith and Wesson but the dealer was out of them and it was too close to Christmas. It is a short barreled (2 inch) model 60 38 S & W SPL. Has a hammer exposed like most and is stainless. (Had to get the model number off the box.) It is a good pocket pistol even though the hammer has some sharp edges.

Central London is not the best, but she has a nice house.

Pennsylvania Avenue, DC, is not too great either.

Your logic is in reverse, or your grammar is.

I thought you were the one that's always telling us how dangerous cars are compared with guns.

I want to know what it says about my device dependency and risk management if I'm willing to skydiving without my guns and sleep without my Cypres?

Am I device dependent if I won't go into a bad neighborhood without a gun, or should I avoid situations I wouldn't go into without a gun?

It's Friday. Time for a .

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

29 millions? About which and how many cities are you talking?

That's the population of Chicago and New York, which you claim are awash in civilian gun carry, because you saw three people doing it.

Again, just to clarify: We are talking about the total population of Chicago and NYC?? It's not really important, just to know.

Correct. What was so confusing about the way I said it last time?

Perhaps you are incredulous because those two U.S. cities alone are equal to about one-third of the entire population of your Germany.

Dear JohnRich, there's something wrong in your calculation. But, to say it in short words: I don't mind.
Calculate whatever you like. "One-third of Germany", boy,

What I've learned is to avoid bad neighborhoods unless you have a cypres.

"One-third of Germany"

John never said what you have quoted. If you are attempting to imply the above quote came from him I believe it to be in bad tact. It is simply not what he said.

I would venture his true comment came as a result of your comment below(which is a direct quote)

Quote

Just to have a look on my small Germany with about 82 millions:

Realizing that English is not your first language this comment may have came across wrong to some people. Nevertheless you have misquoted John

I have bought my son his first 20 gauge and refinished an old .22 passed down from my grandfather to give to him when he is ready. It will be several years yet though- he is due in July

That spot isn't bad at all, the winds were strong and that was the issue! It was just on the downwind side.
