Well where should I start? Oh, okay you're new so I'm not going to call you names or talk about your mother. But This is what those of us that are real sane people (excluding my self of course) (I mean including) Call folks like you a one post wonder you show up talk sh*t and don't stick around to back it up. So stay on Commiefornia communist talk.com or wherever it is you came from. Unless of course you would like to come back to the lime light and back up you're trash with whatever facts that you have fabricated in you're little liberal brain. In short GO AWAY LIBTARD TROLL!TxEMTP69, I hope your entry was a joke. You sound like an absolute loon. If that was serious, you are the poster child for gun control.
RIP Meleanie (correct spelling of her name)
Yes sir you're a good person to be able to do that.This is sad, I'll have to say some prayers for the kids. Oh and TxEMTP your line of thought about what do do in an event like this, and your ability to not lash back at inflammatory statements is admirable. Stay TEXAN ya'll!
I keep running through my head what will I do, will I be able to get gun into battle fast enough or will I need to deploy edged weapon first, create distance and go to guns. I know distance, awareness, ability to react timely, number of attackers and countless other factors will come into play and you will never know til that "God forbid" moment arrives.
I try to mentally role play scenarios, practice drawing, I try to keep conscious of where my gun is at all times in reference to people I talk to, or as people approach me and always try to keep alert.
Yep. Being prepared doesn't amount to being paranoid. The whole, "your just paranoid" argument that anti-gun people use is silly, but you can't use logic with these kinds of people. They are afraid of guns. They think, irrationally that the gun is the proplem.
You can't fix, irrationallity with reason.
Gun-Toting Soccer Mom, Husband Shot Dead - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com
As I post this I am deeply saddened. I first met Melanie on the OCDO board during her case in Lebanon, PA where she freely & legally exercised her right to OC. From there she fought the good fight under heavy scrutiny from the antigun camp.
Condolences to the family and I can only pray for her children who witnessed "Daddy shot mommy!". It was no secret Melanie and her husband Scott had been having marital problems, and they went deep. From dependable accounts from those who knew her, Melanie wanted out but feared her husband. She knew something was coming.
The antigun people are already spinning this, twisting it to fit their agenda. Poor Melanie hasn't been laid to rest yet and people are already attacking her good name.
RIP Melanie
If I came off offensive, I apologize.
... before you satisfy yourselves with embarrassing, unsubstantiated ad hominem attacks, I am a moderate liberal lawyer who owned a Glock 19 (until it was recently burglarized) and have been mugged at knife point numerous times. If I came off offensive, I apologize. But you guys do not seem to realize how ... uh, I'll say "intense" or paranoid you sound when you talk about planning out ways to shoot every person you come across.........

But you guys do not seem to realize how ... uh, I'll say "intense" or paranoid you sound when you talk about planning out ways to shoot every person you come across while shaking their hand, or teaching your dog to bark to warn you that your heat-packing wife is coming, or all the intense preparation you endure for years to prepare for a possible future chance encounter with a drunk guy at a bar. It's just a very odd way to prioritize, and it does reflect - to someone not from Texas - a gun-crazy, paranoid mentality.
+1 and very well stated!Good enough. Now, let me ask you something - do you carry insurance of any kind? If so, why? Why not simply walk along your path in life, assured that somehow everything will be okay? That is what a gun is, my friend - insurance from the most reliable and quickest-responding agency in the country. You see, I can't appreciate what you went through being mugged - because the one time it might have happened to me, I *was* armed - and as things escalated and I drew, they suddenly decided they wanted to be somewhere - anywhere - else.
Now, being a "moderate liberal lawyer", I would think that long ago you would've come to realize that when folks are sitting around a campfire shooting the breeze, there's going to be a mix of seriousness and BS. It's knowing what's serious and what's BS that's going to be a challenge to an outsider to determine - and it's THEIR problem, not ours. No one is forced to read these sites, and if they're unsure about something, they're welcome to speak up and ask a civil question. Otherwise, it's gonna be akin to a 5-lb 3-legged cat walkin' into the middle of a buncha junkyard dogs an' slappin' one. He can do it, but he won't be real happy with the results......
