Boyd, you're awesome.

I believe that guns in the hands of the right people have saved lives.

Thank you ma'am... but as many folks have PM'd me on this subject since I started this thread, I felt it necessary to share more of my background and history... because if all you did was read my P&P posts and my blunt nature, you probably don't have a very good understanding of who I am. I guess I wanted to justify myself to myself and others because of how I grew up and life experiences.

I've had more violent encounters in my lifetime than I ever would have guessed. I didn't want this kind of life. Some folks are a Crap Magnet.. Unfortunately I feel like I am one and warned my wife about it. Trouble seems to follow me. I try to do right by god and my country, but trouble seems to find me... Murphy's law I guess.

I just don't want folks misunderstanding my meaning and write off what I'm saying because they think i'm another "nut job" or michigan militia type.

As one of your nearest and dearest, I should tell you, you are a nut job, just not for this.

Then again if someone was stupid enough to try something, i'm not sure which of us would be more dangerious to provoke.

This town is getting more scary every single year..
i remember when i was a teen, i had no fear of walking the streets home at 2 am..the only fear i had then was getting caught by my mother being out that late...(shes wasnt one to mess with..lol)

My small town is in between 2 big cities in Mass.. Springfield and Worcester
so we now have all the drug dealers and gang dorks moving in here...(thats how my brother got shot) these people have NO remorse for their crimes..and if you get in their way or they think you snitched on them..they WILL either jump you and beat you almost to death..or shoot you. (like they did my brother) And they DONT get caught either...
yeah..i'd say..its high time people here started to carry their own guns and give these punks a taste of what they like to dish out.
We had a crack house across the street from us.... well they are gone now..we won THAT battle. I worked with the cops to help bust these creeps and get their kids taken away...
they used to try to intimidate me..stare me down when i was outside..or walk by my house etc... i used to just walk up to them and ask if they had a problem... lol... i didnt back down, they did. Scary thing was..when they busted the house they found several guns in there... all illegal (of course!)
So again, i say...if we ban guns, the only people that will have them are the criminals.. then where will we be? at their mercy, thats where..
