Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Knowing you, Brendon, I sure as hell wouldn't try to break into your house or muscle my way in. :D I'd be dead or otherwise incapacitated before I could say "Gimme the money."

kansas has simply provided the analogy that the criminal will percieve. i would have no problem approaching his door at 3 am, remaining outside, providing identification, and if i am carrying also advising him of that. he would probably recognize me as a law abiding citizen, and render aid to me, even though we have never met. criminals are the only ones who have to fear law abiding citizens who OC.

It is often debated, the value that a prosecuting attorney may get from a riced-up carry gun indicating an irresponsible willingness to use deadly force. There are situations like the Halloween trick-or-treater being shot that, being the shooter, I would not want evidence of testosterone poisoning entered into evidence. YMMV

In re appearance, anyone recall the word and meaning of 'fop'?

Pointing to the pile of topsoil he says "Dis dirt" & to the pile of Portland cement he said " Dis crete" :what:.
