The gun, knife, fist, stick, rock, cup of coffee, shoe, nail clippers, bottle of shampoo containing more than 3 fluid ounces, rabid raccoon, etc are all just tools.

Oh boy.:shock:If that's the case, I'm in trouble. Been having allot of miss fires and constant jamming lately. Probalby needs cleaning, but I'm afraid I'll never get it all back together correctly.

:banghead:

TaskForce,

I'd be willing to bet if you got one of THESE:

http://www.cylinder-slide.com/dunkkitart.shtml

and replaced the standard cleaning fluid with something that comes in 750ml bottles from the Speyside of Scotland and dunked your bean into that, you'd feel a lot better. :p

Probably wouldn't improve the accuracy, speed or reliability of your brain, but you wouldn't notice or care as much... :lol:

Of course, it should be noted that this "brain cleaner" is TOTALLY incompatible with firearms. I think that goes without saying...

A good answer, succinct, and it might possibly induce logicalthought in the questioner.

After much consideration, here's what I selected as my standard answer: "Imagine a situation arising where one's having a pistol saves his life. If it happens to me, I live. If it happens to you, you die." As yet, no one has attempted to refute that example.

I used that once.

Someone asked, "Why do you carry a gun?"

I answered, "Oh, probably for the same reasons you do."

"I don't."

I finished with , "Well, you should consider it" and went on my way.

There is a speech mannerism thatI can't define as to location... or even origin but it comes off similar to what you'de expect from a gradeschooler:

"Is that supposed to be a (real) gun?" I've been asked that in those very words... and have yet to come up with a proper response.

Maybe "You are free to suppose anything you like".
