This month's issue of "America's 1st Freedom", an NRA publication, brought to light a town in Georgia that's had it's crime rate drop by 89% in the past 21 years. It's accredited to a local ordinance passed in 1982 that required the head of every household to maintain a firearm and ammunition in the home. Sure makes for some interesting thinking. *** not only that... but if you DON'T comply, you have to pay a fee, I heard it was 5 hundred or something, which is labelled as a fee for the cops to protect you and your house or something. Forgive me for butchering this if I've got it all wrong... Bottom line, (unsure if it's been said before, haven't read the whole thread) is that in places where concealed carry is happening, crime is down. Not every person has to be packin, but if some ARE, the criminals have to pause and think, hmmm... is this one packing? should I fuck w/ him? or move on to someone else... -the artist formerly known as sinker

hey pooh-bah, have you read your sig lately? *** PDS, I sure am enjoying your wit here! LOL! Keep packin... -the artist formerly known as sinker

good job on the ninja sign... that's hilarious. -the artist formerly known as sinker

in my country (very small and multi cultural) (switzerland) (nooooo not sweden) most of the people hava a gun at home, actually there are more than 300'000 weapons in homes... we "receive" them when we do our military service (at approx 20 yrs old) and keep them until we are "liberated" from this same service at approx 50... and nearly no murder or accident involves one of these weapons. I guess it's a question of education*** I've always admired the Swiss for their stance on guns and defense... notice that Hitler thought twice about trying to plow through your country... You all have it RIGHT! Gun violence is low, gun accidents are low. If things ever get too much like Canada or Britain here, I know where I am moving... -the artist formerly known as sinker

Just to educate you, defending yourself is not murder in this country. If *any* asshole tries to do bodily or property damage to you or your loved ones, you have the legal right to defend yourself, your property, or your business, even if that means blowing the low-life scum into next week. *** That's exactly right... and to further the thought, MOST people here in the US who are "gun freaks" don't have the mentality of "shoot to kill" inspite of what whacked liberal pinkos from other countries might think. Rather, the attitude is to shoot to neutralize the threat. If that results in death, well that's certainly a possibility. However, for me, my thought is that I'm not particularly concerned whether the perp lives or dies, my one concern is to save my family and myself from harm. -the artist formerly known as sinker

exactly my point. typical cowboy attitude. and then you talk about being socially conscious, you cannot say fuck em i will kill em in one breath and stand on high moral ground in the next. *** can someone say multiple fallacies? look... I'm a husband and a father. It is my right AND moral responsibility to protect my family. It would be morally IRRESPONSIBLE to do otherwise. Also, logic dictates that I defend/protect my family with the most effective means necessary. If a home invader comes in w/ a 9mm and I meet him w/ a baseball bat, did I fulfill my duties as the protector of my family? Don't think so pal... But when I have my 40 cal in hand, stacked w/ federal hydra shocks, you can bet I will be doing everything I can to make sure that my family is secure, safe, and able to live their lives as God intended. I will never lay down so that some thug can destroy my family. If it never happens, great... consider it unclaimed insurance. But if I AM in that situation, well I sure will be prepared. -the artist formerly known as sinker

So do they get better gas mileage than a SUV? Are they cheaper? *** generally better gas mileage for sure. cheaper? well... that depends on how many bells and whistles you want... I'd say they are a LITTLE cheaper than SUVs but not by a significant amount. -the artist formerly known as sinker

Of course it is no 2003 Jaguar XJ8.*** yeah, well... can't have EVERYTHING can we?? -the artist formerly known as sinker

i trust this will give you enough 'ammunition' (wow, symbolic metaphor) to continue to characterize law abiding and socially concious americans as bloodthirsty gun freaks. enjoy. *** nicely put. -the artist formerly known as sinker

wait a tick... how do YOU know it's the biggest tool in my erm toolbox?? -the artist formerly known as sinker

good point... be right over... -the artist formerly known as sinker

ah... thanks kitty... my wife wondered if Tourette's took over at the top of the wheel when I yelled DOOR! -the artist formerly known as sinker

Just for that, no rides in my hot sexy grocery gettin van! -the artist formerly known as sinker

lol! I love that one! seen it 10x or more, still love it! notice, a KIMBER is in the cockpit! Smart pilot... -the artist formerly known as sinker

So we took the fam to the county fair tonight... wife and the oldest two kids, 6 and 4, and I went on the ferris wheel why my mom held the baby on the ground... the weirdest thing happened... i got freaked out nervous up there on that thing. I NEVER get like that. I've always loved rides. I fly for work weekly, no jitters. When I jump, only a little bit of anxiety, nothing at ALL like that ferris wheel. It was seriously unerving. What's up w/ that??? -the artist formerly known as sinker

oh you suck SO bad! Naughty kitty... very very naughty... -the artist formerly known as sinker

***ps- I've been drinking.. ps... that's nice... why aren't you sharing dammit? -the artist formerly known as sinker

man, I'm missin that place... is the westwind gonna be down there much longer? is it just a summer gig for that crazy old turbine? -the artist formerly known as sinker

well, my friend in atlanta has a steyr aug... and I fired it once... so there! -the artist formerly known as sinker

that's right baby, sink's got the ride! but when we get our TN jumps on, I won't be the only designated driver, mmm-K? -the artist formerly known as sinker

i'm w/ you baby, but I'm inexplicably drawn to it... like a bad tragic accident on I-65, or to a freak show circus act... -the artist formerly known as sinker

you don't need to "get it." there are bad mean evil nasty people in the world my friend... who's going to protect us from them? The Police??? Um, I don't think so... Last time I called 911, the line was busy. Then it took 15 minutes for the damn little Betty girl to get on and drill me for another 5 minutes... But w/ my 40, if someone invades my home or wants to fuck w/ my kids or wife, it'll be over in a few seconds. We will not be victims. -the artist formerly known as sinker

priorities dahlin... priorities... jump tix? At 18/jump, 633. But just think, you and me and the other middle TN dz.commers could all pile in for a comfy ride to the first TN dz.com boogie that we will organize! -the artist formerly known as sinker

wow! that is a pickle! like she said, if there is ANY frickin way to be there, do it. However, if that is a complete impossibility, maybe you could make it up to them by getting a kick ass gift for them. Maybe a couple of things. What my wife did for my sister is we contacted everyone who was in the wedding party on the sly and had them write favorite stories of my sis and fiance, send in photos, etc. And we made a scrap book out of them. It was so rad. Also, you could go see 'em a little before the wedding and take them out or something, show them that this really is important to you... good luck man... and you didn't sound whiny at all... -the artist formerly known as sinker
