When someone asks about carrying loaded, offer to take them to a range. Give them a weapon without a round in the chamber, and tell them they have 5 seconds to chamber a round and fire two shots at a target 10 feet a way. I'd bet $10 that less than 10% can do it.
That's become my feeling on any of the 3 threads involved in this. Both side thinks the other is wrong and refuses to budge. On to other more important subjects, like bashing Glock owners.
Everything work sends me comes via FedEx, and they do pretty good with it. Other than ground shipping taking ages from TX or CA, it always arrives in good shape, right at my front door, and they always hit the doorbell twice. The one thing I got from work via UPS was my work computer, and after...
From reading your response again, this argument is falling into the category of a hill on which I don't wish to die. You seem to keep trying to convince me that while I can call out whomever I want, but that I need to consider the face that I might be wrong about them. Which I did admit to, and...
From the article posted earlier:
So he gets caught doing something illegal, refuses to pay the fine, and gets his license pulled. Supposedly is a habitual traffic offender as well. Now he's walking in protest with a rifle? I'm sorry, but that fails to compute for me.
First off, nice ad hominem (bolded above). That's a sure fire way to sway someone to your side of an argument. Anyway, I'll put it in simpler terms, I guess. Openly carrying a long gun, specifically a "scary black" one, in public, in today's climate is a dumb idea. Do I look forward to the day...
They may not be stomping on my rights, but they're doing a damn fine job of giving ammo to the anti gun folks. If the Taliban and Mujhadeen are the extremists of the Muslim world, OCT could be the extremists of ours.
First, before anything else, I advocate for gun rights and for the right to OC. I OC'd today as a matter of fact. But this is different.
I don't know what his goals were. But, either way, his approach to his goals was still not the best. The OP said he saw people switch lanes in a panic. Are...
Shell in Franklin, Wal-Mart in North Vernon. I thought about stopping at the Wal-Mart in Columbus instead, but they might be skiddish after last weeks fiasco. Sucked though, I didn't realize the range at Crosley was closed, and the kid was bummed. Was supposed to be her first trip, but I...
Funny, I never have any issues with Chrome, other than big brother Google, which is why I have a thowaway Gmail account I use for it. Firefox never does things the way I want, and it's a pain to have to set up syncing my bookmarks across all of my devices when Chrome does it by default. If...
I told my wife that the reason I'll never leave her isn't because she's sexy, but that she's a much better shot than me. I could't make it out of range fast enough.
I work from home, and never have to go into an office, so you can figure out what my answer is. It may not be on me 24/7, but I can always reach it from my desk. Wife works in a nursing home so she can't, but she's smart enough to stay safe should the need arise.
On Youtube search "wings discovery channel". The show is a bit dated, but goes into pretty good detail about the aircraft it covers. I think when I was a kid, I watched darn near every one of these. Also a bit dated, but just as interesting is the Connections series with James Burke (just search...
I said that to my daughter once at the AF Museum in Dayton after an F-4 left the base and kept it on the deck for a while. Loud as hell, rattled your teeth.
