After the horrible events inMumbai we saw how those who have been denied the right to effective self defense faired. Terrorists had a real easy time of it because of India's draconian gun laws.

The police and security forces could not protect anyone. It really reminds me of the Luby Cafeteria incident in Texas.

The Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared. The gun on your hip IS your emergency preparedness. Don't let the Brady Bunch clowns tell you otherwise.

I counsel felons that are on probation, many of them are repeat offenders. Recently one of them was dying from cancer, told me he had planned on going to Phoenix where he was first arrested and kill as many honkies as he could find at the mall. He then confessed when he saw quiet a few people at the mall where OC armed he decided he wasnt ready to be gunned down by some shopper. He died shortly there after of pancreatic cancer. He also admitted that if he had not seen anybody armed he would have opened fire on people coming out of the food mart. He figured he could have killed as many as he had ammo. He did not disclose his weapon of choice.

People hollar Gun control. Thats all fine and dandy, but the only ones your are controlling is the Honest person. I'm not going out to kill anyone, so what good does taking my gun away from me do? None....

I you take the guns away from people like me, the only People you are protecting is the criminals.

(Not like anyone is ever ever going to take my guns away)

Glad he died. Hope it hurt. Just what we need. Some racist with a gun out to kill "honkies".

This sort of comment is exactly what we do not need in our quest to protect and preserve our rights.

Yes, he was a racist and yes, he was wrong. But, like it or not, he was also a human being dying from a horribly painful cancer.

Read John Donne sometimes. "No man is an island unto himself, no man stands alone. Therefore, ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee."

Don't you think the antis just love comments like this? Adds fuel to their efforts.

Yeah, I kinda went off the deep end there and for that, I must apologize to my friends on this site. It's just that the comments reported infuriated me and I just reacted.

I second this and we are both from Wisconsin.

One of our more famous Virginia members,Tess,says she Open Carries her handgun -

"Because she can't carry a cop" :what:

I actually told someone that recently.. over the holidays. It was an order taker at the Five Guys in Gainesville. I kinda chuckled after I said it because it came out so fast, I was a little surprised I had responded with that answer. He was good natured and we both had a little laugh.

Sorry guys, I didn't fill my profile with my state, I will change that ASAP.

But since there are only 2 states in the entire USA that do not allow at least some type of C-C, you had a 50/50 chance with only a guess. And since I am notan anti-gun liberal democrat, the logical choice would have been the great state of Wisconsin.

Anyone know the other state?? it's where the new messiah decided to call his latest home since Kenya!

It would be the state I grew up in, the Socialist Republic of Chicago. :lol:

'Too bad it wasn't flesh eatin' worms or somesuch. What's all this touchy-feely 'bout some perp who'd waste innocents? I'd feed 'em into a sausage grinder on pay-per- view 'n pass around the popcorn. I don't CARE what the anti's say... or think... or if they can say or think at all.

'Tell ya what I think about 'appearances' First Shirt... I call 'em likeI see 'em. I make no concessions. Particularly to the 'politically correct' nonsense. I will render unto Caeser that which is Ceaser's... and give the devil his due... but I will NOT pander to them or their misplaced 'sensititivities'.

Has anyone here ever worked in a state maximum security prison, in a level five prison, in a "Capitol Case" housing unit (Death Row)?

I have and I retired after 20 years.

As a supervisor I read hundreds of case studies of inmates who committed the most horrific crimes on society's innocent people. Crimes ranging from child rape to multiple murder.

So I really don't give a rats a$$ if a locked up convicted felon dies from an incurable disease.

You want to impress an anti to join our side? Simply ask one to tour a maximum security prison during an open house for workers famlies, or to simply sit down to a conversation with a correction officer who works in society's garbage pit.

Amen brother, I haven't worked at a prison or a jail for that matter, but I'm sure the movies I have watched over the years are pretty close to what its like. And owe BTW I watched Lockup mulitple times, and it doesn't look like a good or fun job, but someones gotta do it. I don't agree though, that all our laws are correct and just either, I believe there's alot of innocent people in there for no real reason at all, they were framed. And the only people who would know about that is the person who got framed and the person who framed the other. Just something to think about,hmmm

I can see you never worked in law enforcement, bro.

Those convicted felons are INNOCENT of any crime. They were ALL FRAMED. Just ask them!

There are very few guilty people in our prisons.

I met a "lifer" who readily admitted to murdering his wife and her lover.

I had more respect for lifers who admitted their guilt than the whiners who claimed to be innocent and framed by Police or by unknown persons.
