I have to wonder what exactly qualifies as "firearm missile." Accidents? Death by stupidity involving firearms? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

kallend, you're a professor, right? So how about you take special measures to serve your students, and suddenly you are accused of rape. Tell me you would sit there happily and say "I have faith in the system." I dare you. Besides, you've shown how much faith you have in due process with your statements in other threads - Philadelphia cop killer, anyone found guilty in Texas, etc. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I own it. I was referring to buckets vs bathtubs vs bullets vs barnyard equipment in different areas. I was interested in billvon's idea. Lott studied trends in crime in every single county in the US. Most thorough study to date. But he focussed on firearms and controlling for other factors (specifically the effect of concealed carry). He did not look at other causes of death. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I heard my favorite from a red this month. "A man in a kilt is a man and a half." Well, I dunno about that but I leave 50% more tracks in the snow. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

DAMNIT MAN, you got a cattle prod AFTER I left? WTF ?!? and I thought we were friends. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Anybody have a study that breaks down deaths in city vs suburb vs country settings? We've all seen "this kills this many people a year." Anybody have one with locations factored in? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Actually, IIRC firearms ownership is much higher in the suburbs and rural areas than it is in cities. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I feel your pain there. Ask pilotdave about motivating skydivers to work when they don't get cash in hand. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

No doubt folks, they throw one hell of a halloween. I was there maybe three years ago with the Ultimate club. [yeah, we were cheesy and did the braveheart thing for a club theme] But damnit I look good in a kilt! witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Slight hijack: What's the letter-number name for wireless connections? I heard about a new one coming out that removes the opening handshake vulnerabilities.

Hey, I just took off my headset and killed the GE webcam. I've been talking to people in Europe prepping for my trip. Hell of a lot cheaper than the phone. Just using Yahoo Messenger with voice and video connection. So sweet. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Just my experience (and not counting my family or firearms related trips): I grew up in the NJ suburbs. No too far from NYC or the boondocks. The only time I encountered farm animals was through the car window. I was introduced to horses and have since become a fairly accomplished rider. All I know about other farm animals is how they taste once they're cut and cooked, and "don't mess with the bull, you'll get the horn." As for guns, I came across a few here and there. Definitely more than cows and chickens. Still remember one incident with a loaded pistol. I don't know how it turned out because I got the hell out of there. (my dad put the fear of G-d in me) edit: and this was New Jersey, not exactly firearms central. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

I'd be there to help represent the terps, but I'll be an ocean and a few countries away. Who knows, maybe I can get out of the concert and make my ticket earlier. Who really wants to see Shania Twain anyway? (I got roped into it by a very cute Finn) "Have you ever made love to a Finlandian Ice Maiden while the nights are six months long?" witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Get your school to spring for vans. That's what we always did. [yeah, like it was as easy as saying it ] witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

How about this: make it a standard part of the curriculum, but let parent write notes exempting kids. We had a few classes kids didn't take because of something like that. Sex ed and the like. Sound good? I think it would be better to make it standard during the school day than to have it optional after school, but that's just me. Let kids/parents opt out instead of making them ask to be in. (Personally, I'd like to see rifle/shooting clubs make a come back, but with the bureaucrats in place I won't hold my breath. Outdoormanship and conservation clubs, too.) witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

How old are they? How about going with the stepped approach? Start with Eddie Eagle when they're young, teaching them to respect and not mess with guns, and later teaching them basic safety? witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Well, don't give the dems too much credit. Most of them actually opposed it because it didn't give out enough of an increase in spending and benefits. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

By the way, without the "talkers," are you sure you'd still be shooting today? Do I need to list for you the plethora of schemes that have attempted to end gun ownership?

They already control the curriculum, and I'd rather they teach the rules of safe handling than "guns are evil." You should see what's in kids "Health and Wellness" books. It'd make a skydiver blush. witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Actually I don't have the hardware or the license here in AL. However, a friend of mine (also in attendance) showed me just how easy it is to keep a pistol, sgian dubh, and revolver using the jacket and kilt, without using pockets or the sporran. I only had my Sgian Dubh, and it was worn open [right ankle] witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1*

Actually, I'm not a fan of the public education system as a whole. But if the federal government is going to interfere, the least they can do is encourage safety.

Nah. The USofA is a representative democracy. DZ.com is Sangiro's house, and house rules apply. It's all good. and fyi - no knickers. I was at a formal event wearing a prince charlie get up.
