My favored weapon is a longish dangerous object. I don't have a gun(at present) for a wide variety of reasons.
one, they make my wife uncomfortable because they are unfamiliar to her, as she gets more familiar, she gets less uncomfortable, at some point we may have a gun
two in an appartment a gun is an exceptionally poor home defense weapon.
yes, many criminals carry guns, but that isn't necessarily the why. the gun thing dates back to the revolutionary war when with our household weapons, and some help from france we formed a "more perfect union".
my original post was a bit of a knee-jerk, and approximately matches how and what would happen should someone threaten an innocent in my presence. I'm not particularly violent by nature(less as I grow older). I've learned to check my temper vs lashing out without thought, but I was raised to defend ladies and small children and even the thought of a threat to a mother or child pushes a button.
Further, the point of the quote is that a dangerous man is just as dangerous naked on an island as armed to the teeth.
Yes, he was talking exactly about me, someone trained and disciplined enough to apply necessary and appropriate violence when necessary. ie Warriors, Like it or not it is people who are ready, willing and able to exact violence who keep you safe. Further, when the time comes to execute violence on someone threatening my home, my family or any innocent, my safety becomes irrelavent, I hope I got that across. I hope and pray I don't have to exact violence in defense of an innocent, but if I should, it will be complete. the weapons found in my home are no different than the weapons in yours, with one exception, ME! I am the most dangerous thing in my house, with the possible exception of a natural gas stove. I'm not the baddest, I'm not the best, and I don't care if my ass gets kicked, I can kill you before you kill me and I will kill you before you touch my family.
And there is nothing like "taking a buck" to impress a child with the deadly nature of a firearm. Right or wrong he knows guns kill dead, and he's not likely to point that gun at something or someone he doesn't want dead as dinner.
Actually, the statistic 24k total killed with handguns indicates that if there is a handgun in the house it is likely not to kill anyone, since there are 71M handguns in the US.
with 43K traffic fatalities in 2003, and ~100M vehicles in the US, seems handguns are as safe or safer than cars.
And which part didn't I answer? I know where my family, they are behind me
Second, in JR High and HS, I rolled with the sort of element YOU see in prison, in fact, when I returned to visit a year after graduation I found out that I was one of 2 not dead or in prison, so I know that element. I know that I'm now stronger faster, smarter, and more practiced than I was then. And yes oddly enough, when there are family disturbances, if it escalates to violence it will be violent... what's your point. I didn't say I have a gun, I said, if someone threatens the safety of my wife, or any small children they will be dead, or wishing they were. I didn't indicate location, simply consequences.
Further, let me leave you with a quote from a wise man Robert Heinlein "There are no dangerous weapons, only dangerous men."
How do I know, I'll be the one killing? Training and practice... surprise helps too, because he's expecting someone like you who will be happy to stand there and let him execute you and your family.
If I am responsible for the safety of small children or my wife I'm not going to be brandishing a weapon, I'm going to be using it, and its not relevant whether it is my fist, a pen(cil), a kitchen knive, a paper weight or a gun. It's not going to be me or you its going to be you and if you're really lucky you might get me too. But have no doubt it's GOING to be you.
IBM lawyers are IBM employees, on a salary(ok a big one), but IBM doesn't go out and hire lawyers every time they need something done, they have them on staff. So SCO is just making sure that the IBM lawyers earn their paychecks this year. Next year it will be someone else.
How about IBM?? Big BLUE?? heard of them, They've been selling and buying and transacting with computers internationally since before there were computers.
I'm just pointing out that the last time playing both games at the same, or near the same time was proposed a war was fought over who got to pick the next game.
Well just remember 140 years ago, the kickball players were playing 4-square and vice verse. The kickball players(140 years ago) decided to go off and play kickball by themselves and the 4-square(140 years ago)players forced them to come back and play 4-square, soon after, they discovered that kickball was better and the former kickball players decided to like 4-square out of spite.
It is a popular myth that it is "so frigging hard" to feed your family if you were born in the wrong neighborhood. It is patently false. If you are honest and hardworking, there are a plethora of places willing to pay quite well, even in todays "horrible economy" You might have to get your hands dirty, or sweat, or work long days, but it's just work, it's no more than our parents and grandparents put up with.
Because the war was just. I haven't heard any lies(beyond the usual politico stuff you hear from both sides during a campaign). I haven't observed any damaging policies. I'm not opposed to making it easier for 2 or 3 or 5 adults to enter into a contractual arrangement for wealth sharing and medical benefit. Just don't call it marriage. I believe gays are perverted, but thats their problem not mine. I don't hate homosexuals, I don't want to share my shower with one, but then I don't wish to shower with anyone who may be attracted to me where the feeling isn't mutual. I'm prepared and willing in our pluralistic society to live and let live, I think the government needs to get out of the marriage business, etc.

For those confused about what greivously injure means, it means DEAD.
Don't need artificial blood, can buy pigs/cows blood at your local independant butcher.

OOPS, hit send too soon,
four, you can apologize any time.
Five,If you keep lying after we catch you, we will be even more pissed off.
six, You can apologize any time.
The crime he was impeached for was perjury. NOT Adultery.
In this country we have political traditions, One People in power use that power to get what they want, frequently this includes sexual favors
Two, We'll forgive you if you apologize(It doesn't matter what, if you murdered your grandmother we'll forgive you)
Three, If we catch you lying in court, we'll get pissed off.
And which part didn't I answer? I know where my family, they are behind me

interestingly enough, in 2000 he only got 11% and in 96, dole got ~9% So. Its moving, not necessarily quickly, but moving nonetheless.
NO, I'm not going to be doing anything "nicely" to someone who doesn't belong in my house.
How do I know, I'll be the one killing? Training and practice... surprise helps too, because he's expecting someone like you who will be happy to stand there and let him execute you and your family.
sure, I'll ask him when he's flat on his back/face immobilized and the cops are on their way.

It was obvious in 1492.

Ultimately the first female President will need to be one thing Hilary isn't, and that is female. Liz dole is, Connie rice is, even tipper gore is.
