it's just a matter of trying to be prepared. It's like collision
insurance. some people got it and some people don't, but no one is

I had no idea that half of the folks on this list(s) were going to work
each day packing heat. I've lived/worked in or around three of our most
violent cities and NEVER felt the need to carry a handgun around with me
-- Boston, NYC and DC. I drove thru a six block length of crack houses to
get to work at USCG HQ every morning for two tours. I used to walk around
NYC for pleasure. The most I protected myself was an 8" hunting knife
under the seat of my MG when I was stationed in NYC and that was only
because I'd have to wait sometimes around Battery Park (car top down) in
the wee hours of the morning in line waiting for the ferry boat to arrive
for the ride to the island on which the base was situated -- a ferry boat
that ran only every half hour.
In a half century of life, I've never been in a situation where I thought
my life was threatened to the point that I would have drawn a weapon.

Jabba, I expect this of you.
Chris, I am somewhat in shock.
Kleb, you live in Oklahoma so what can I say.
Honestly, guys, has our country become so paranoid that the last thing we
kiss goodnight is the .357 on our nightstand?
Any job openings in IT up in Canada?
Sorry to do another gun post, Kaleb, but I just had to. I shall say no
more and certainly pray that I've not started a new thread.
