Jizzle:
First I will say that it has been quite a while since I even looked at any Magic cards, much less played, but I think your audience and its setting has given you the perfect way to approach the issue! here goes:

Each Magic card has a certain ability, defense/attack/etc. also, there are 'equipment' cards. And I'm sure that most of the people that you play with build their own decks... Ask them all to please remove all 'equipment' cards from their decks before you play your next match! If I know anything about MTG players, this will be quite an offensive suggestion, but will give you the perfect segway into why you carry a gun! You could even take it further into the different types of decks (colors) being different types of people, the average unarmed person being a pure (white?) deck that is no match for a Red Rage deck, and the average defensively armed person being a good mixed deck ready for whatever the opponent puts forth! I'm sure someone there has the 'unbeatable' Rage deck (I know I used to have a really good one) that will easily equate to a bad guy and someone else that has a good multi that puts up one heck of a fight (if not occasionally wins) against said 'Rage' deck...

At any rate, I think you get my point, even if my recollection of the finer points of the game are a bit rusty!
As a teacher, you obviously understand the importance of tailoring your lesson to your students specific needs/understanding.

Good Luck!

BTW: without me having to dig for it, how did the theater deal ever turn out? Or is it still in progress?

I appreciate you sticking up for me Carnivore, but don't let him sucker you in. Lets keep civility online a priority please thanks.

As for the idea about associating MTG to carrying a weapon for self defense that's not a bad idea with some tweaks i think. Thanks. I think that they opportunity that's presented itself here is pretty awesome. I guess that I should count myself lucky. Depending on the outcome of course.

I'm curious, do you have any sense of humor whatsoever?

Let's get real, this guy is 27 years old, hangs out in comic book shops with 12 year olds, and plays Magic... what's not to joke about?

Naw, no 12 year olds tbh. Like is said they are mostly 18ish thru30 at thestore. I don't drink, am in college, I'm married, active duty in the AF and honestly like anything of a competetive nature. chess, football, soccer, basketball, MTG andMMA to name a few.

Just a horse of a different color maybe.



Btw Gator the suit is still in work. Once it's all over I'll update everyone.

He has one, said he's married. He should spend more time with her at the local gun range. Both get into some competitive shooting skills.

I defense of Jizzle and many other 'too old to play kid games' people....
Have any of you ever played Magic? It requires quite a bit of complex thought, planning, problem solving, etc! It may be 'fantasy imagination', but it'll sure give your brain a workout! It is much more involved than a game of poker and even canasta which are the preferred 'adult' card games. Like I mentioned earlier, I haven't played or even seen a Magic came in quite a few years, but I used to play regularly with a friend of mines entire family. It was great family building for the teenage boys and interesting enough for us adults without feeling 'childish'! You should try it sometime!

thats cool. the PF9 is actually a buddies gun. She's been shooting all different types of compacts to see what she likes the feel of. so far she likes the g19 the best. the PF9 had to much kick for her to. she stayed mostly on target but was obviously affecting her.

I was just joking around. I'd be the last person to cast anyone out due to lack of conformity to societal norms. Anyway, it's not the game itself I was putting down, but rather the crowd he chooses to hang around with and where he hangs out. Video games are cool, but when you're hanging out at the local cyber geek lan party center with a bunch of kids, and wondering why they're whining about your gun, then it's time to grow up.

lol all the conclusions that people on this forum jump to based on limited information is rather funny.

1. I play magic so there is no way i have a girl.

1a. I must play/hang out only with little kids.

1b. I need to shoot more competition.

1c. I'm not a dedicated OCer (Obviously).

This thread goes to show how ordinary and diverse ( ok I know that contradicts, but I think you know what I mean)gun owners are, and even more fun is that you are OCers.

I know a guy who is still a gamer and has also gotten back into some RPG game lately, and he is....39! Hey...whatever! Personally I could never get into RPG's, I like reality and 3D too much, and my dreams surpass anything I'd get out of a RPG. But the "Werewolf, the Apocalypse" series has some kickass art and ideas. My guidebook for Coyote has disapeared andI cannot for the life of me find it. That had some even cooler art in it. Damn coyotes...

Its really cool to see...cool OCers! Geeky, artsy, liberal, weirdo excentric OCers! LOL... oh I have found my crowd...

Some of you probably do ren fairs and- faerie festivals LMAO. Open carry faeries, and not the gay kind either. Though gay men who prance about who want to OC are ok by me. I probably just ruined this thread typing that LOL, keep my gender in mind- and yes I am a real woman. YesI have known gay gun owners ( hell all the ones I know now have guns). And then there is Pink Pistols.

Well, I have a little prob with the pub down the street, so not only am I withholding my custom, I am also recommending that folks not eat there. See, in Virginia you need a certain amount of food sales to jutify your alcoholic beverage license. "Taint smart to cheese off your local cabdriver. And BTW I wouldn't eat what they serve there anyway, it is fat and salt with flavoring.

That or we're just poking fun because this is the internet and stop taking everything so seriously.
