how well armed are you?

actually the last time we fought them they burned our capital and the war ended in a draw.
 
so yanks really are disproportionally scared.

Very much so. And sadly, I think it's mostly my own age cohort that is the most scared (keep in mind AJ and Miles are roughly my age). I believe many guys my age, particularly but not exclusively conservatives, are scared of change. The world is passing them by and at some level they know it. This terrifies them. Their fear is manifested in virtually everything they are not familiar with, people not of their race, their religion or national origin. Guns embiggen them.
 
I wonder how much of our violent crime is drunken brawls.
Friday night isn't Friday night without a drunken brawl.

Or a fight betwen City/United factions
Or Everton/Liverpool
Or Tottenham/Arsenal.....
 
Well why did you buy more than one? You didn't need the other one.
I know, right? I have also bought a sixpack of Coke and left five of them in the fridge for later. Once, I filled up more gas than exactly I as much as I needed for the trip. Why do I do that? It makes no sense at all!
 
How well armed am I?


I have a chunky black lab and I'm not afraid to use her.
 
I'm kinda scared of panthers and bears and shit. There have been a couple mountain lion sightings recently, including a mother and her three cubs. They've been picking off people's livestock. So they have a distinctive scream, and let me tell you guys how fucking stupid my mom is. She's on the phone with my uncle, while I'm at my uncle's house. And she hears the wildcat scream and we're both like, "Um, go inside? Away from mauly mauly death? Like a sentient being with a brain?" And she's like, "Ima see if I can get a picture of it!" Because the wildlife/game people are looking for pictures. Because my mom is a goddamn idiot. She did not get a picture of it or get mauled. A waste of time was had by all.

A mother is the sign to be alert!

I think any possibility of being eaten by a wild animal should be a sign. Regardless of the presence of kittens. And either way don't fucking walk up like a dumbass. Like having a sign that reads, "Please enjoy this complimentary human meat."

Might want to give Darwin Awards a heads up about your Mom.

I want "Let me see if I can get a picture of it" to be added to the redneck list of famous last words. Alongside such classics as, "Y'hall watch this", "I know what I'm doin" and "She ain't that mad".

The point is you buy those things because you may need them.

You may need a firearm some day and you wont have one.

I buy those things because the odds of me using them later is very likely. They're also not all that expensive.

My point from earlier was that unless you live in a crime infested hell hole, you are more likely to need a helmet when you go out than a gun. You are more likely to have an unfortunate encounter with pavement or a moving vehicle than a bullet. And still you carry a gun, and not a helmet. Why?
 
I can give very, very dirty looks. And I can scream like a banshee.

Muse, you said it before I could. :D



It's funny, I have taken self defense courses a couple of times, designed for women, and Gentle Persuasion for work, which are both effective to break a hold, but don't give much time to get away. In a physical confrontation, my best weapon is likely going be my voice - either to try to calm the situation or scream like my hair was on fire. Against a man, I am well aware there's little contest in strength.

In any other situation, a little country girl ingenuity and guts are all I carry. Hopefully it would be enough to carry me through till I found help.

So clearly you never buy any type of insurance since the odds of needing it are low.

I couldn't help but think of Bobby Hill.
