        Okay, I am suppose to say guns are not dangerous just the human beings that use them.:rolleyes: And then you are suppose to say... To be honest, that is a pointless argument to have with someone.

          You've run into a well known forum bug. Hopefully the .net version will fix it.

            (I think/hope he was being sarcastic.) Oh it's OK for me to have a gun (and/or be naked), it's just not OK for you to. An armed public is safer than an unarmed one. And add "Red Dawn" to the list of must-see '80s movies. http://imdb.com/title/tt0087985/[^]

                Safer from what? Personally, I'd rather live in a neighborhood where people don't find it necessary to arm themselves. A neighborhood that has to arm itself, just doesn't seem like the sort of place I'd want to return to after a day at work, but maybe that's just me... Also, how is your gun going to protect you from a home invasion? Do you keep your gun in a locked cabinet, with the ammo in another locked cabinet? Or do you keep a loaded gun handy, "just in case"? If it's the former, I hope that your burglar has enough decency to let you unlock your gun cabinet and load the gun before attacking you. If it's the latter, I sincerely hope you don't have young children in your house...

                    Well no, nor would I. But which type of neighborhood is a criminal more likely to choose to target? An article in a gun magazine I read a few years back mentioned some neighborhoods actually posting "Gun-free zone" signs. That's just asking to be victimized. Never tell anyone whether or not you're armed.

                        If someone in a Lowe's store offers you assistance and they don't work there, you may live in Texas. -Seriously, the reason why you look for someone at Lowe who works there is so they can go get you a cart. You can learn a lot more by talking to the contractors that are floating around. If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you may live in Texas. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Texas. -And that can really suck if it is Chatty Kathy, as leckey would call them. If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas. -We get so tried of the out-towners DFW area. If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas. -This one got me to thinking that anytime we plan on going somewhere we do ask first how long the trip is. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas. -I just want to add cows also. If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas. -We only have one key to our house and most of the time we don't know where it is. If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas. -I really don't know what is wrong with that. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody s passing you, you may live in Texas. -This sounds like Dallas to me. If you find 60 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Texas. -I kid you not, this morning it 64 degrees and I thought for a moment about going back inside and putting on a long sleeve shirt. So how do these match up against where you live.

                                    probably. I've been out in jean shorts and a tshirt at -40 windchill, but never had anything colder locally.

                                          I have actually never seen this in Texas, though I realize Texas has long since denied the existance of El Paso, and for some reason they want Hobbs, NM. very confusing on the latter... NM refuses to trade, we may not claim hobbs often, but we definately don't want El Paso either! Nope, you are lucky if you even get someone to help you in Lowes, including the employees. Now there is a secret to this.... send your wife alone down the aisle, get her to memorize a couple of questions, "seed questions" she can even admit ignorance after that, no problem (even if she knows the answer), she will get an outpouring of help from every guy in the store. I am not sure, but I think there is a shortage of women in the state. Men are viewed as competition, women are meant to be rescued, or something like that.

                                          Nope, they sell long-johns and full ski suits after the temperature drops below 70. You see less clothing on Canadians during the winter. Which is especially true of the one's visiting here during the winter. Snow birds we call them, those canadians are in short-sleeve shirts during their winter vacation here and the locals are wearing so much down they look like the stay-puff-marshmellow-man. It is very difficult to tell the men from the women during the winter, do not try to date during that time, REAL scary.

                                          Not going to happen here, though someone from el paso might ask you when you are leaving so they can drive up and empty your house... but hey, that's el paso for you. ;P

                                          New Mexican's love to drive, not sure what it is, maybe they don't want to stay locally, but direction is irrelevant, it's like a random scatter effect, some stay, some leave in all directions, near, far, in between. Kind of cool to model in a particle system, looks like a real explosion without gravity, maybe a little-big-ba
