My Wife Almost Shot Someone This Morning

wizardzz

So she was expecting someone at 7 am, but 6:45 was suspicious. And what is a foreman supposed to look like, a businessman? He is going on your roof, in December. He even identified himself as the foreman, and was just 15 minutes early. Would a shady character from down the block break into the companies computers, check their schedule, find the first house of the day, then impersonate the foreman 15 minutes prior to the real foreman showing up to commit some crime? It seems like maybe she just needs an excuse to use the 9mm? Tip, if he starts asking about honeybees, fire at will.

It depends on where you live. Based on John's earlier threads, there are few suspicious/dodgy types in his neighborhood. I'd probably have moved by now, but John and family apparently just like to live there. :~

Europe has a fairly recent history of dictators controlling unarmed citizens. And in more recent times, heavily armed syndicates corrupting public offices? You're Italian? Who makes Barreta's?

Horrified? Really? Since when should law-abiding citizens relinquish their right to self defense simply because it horrifies another citizen? I'm "horrified" that an American would think that their own illusion of discomfort overrides my rights. I have never ONCE heard of a gun owner insisting that everyone else must own a gun to make him/her feel more comfortable. EDIT ---------------- I would defend - to the death - my right to keep/bear arms, as well as your right to not have to. In fact, I've already done my time in defense of your rights - and mine. It would be pointless to give up the fight, and would diminish the efforts by others to make sure we still have rights to fight for.

Yeah, you can - if you're swimming, or you're on fire.

Probably a Barista?

The USA has a fairly recent history of dictators controlling armed citizens. And in more recent times, heavily armed syndicates corrupting public offices? You're USian? What's your point?

Why should *I* move. When given a choice between fight or flight, I'll pick the first one pretty much every time, especially if I have the tactical advantage, which I pretty much have all the time. It's called prparation and situational awareness.

My point is Hitler and Mussolini would never rise to power and commit the acts they did in to a heavily armed group of citizens, like we proudly have here. My point regarding public office was in regard to your statement: I think it is sad to live in such a perpetual mistrust. We live in a state of mistrust because we are aware and pretty honest about the corruptions in office. I think it's sad that you think it's a sad thing.

I wouldn't call the Brady Campaign a bunch of dictators... The only thing keeping our government from controlling armed citizens is that if they tried, those very same armed citizens would probably rebel, and the government would have a real mess on its hands.

That's always been the case - everywhere.

At least the mafia isn't the only one with firearms over here.

Sure they would have. They were elected, remember? They didn't seize control against the will of The People.

So, you think it would've been just as easy to commit the Holocaust against a heavily armed citizenry?

Lost User

Yea the army vs a couple of armed riots, that'll be messy alright.. So what is the govt doing now, if not controlling you? Stealing your money and giving it to sick people? (aka 'a Health-care System') Telling you what you can't do? (laws?)

Most of us get by every day without needing to mechanically enhance their manhood like you seem to.

So they would have had tanks? Hitler would have sustained more casualties, that's all. A bunch of people with guns is not an army. And most of them would probably have chosen to go with them and Maybe survive, rather than fight and die for sure.

Your prejudice is showing, as is your rudeness. FYI, I don't own a handgun, nor do I care to. I don't however, bash those who do feel their situation requires that for their safety. You should check your asshole quotient. It seems to have climbed recently.

Ok, so even with your assumptions of the behavior of those who have gone before us. What do you think the armed citizens of the US would do if faced with the same situation here? The only thing "going with" did back then, was make it easier for the Nazi's to dispose of the bodies.
