You seem to forget that in other countries, its MUCH less due to gun
control laws they have there. One chance is all you get in those
states, then your life is over for all intents and purposes.

Yes, one illegal weapon there can send you away to prison for many,
many years unlike here where Americans are much more given to
killing each other with firearms, knowing that gun restriction laws
are so weak presently .

How is that the mark of a true coward?

Besides, its reset to archive my messages.

Unfortunately, yes.

But look on the bright side: they're shooting at you, not at me.

Actually, if you think about it, most Americans turn to (~790,000) doctors
who are responsible for ~120,000 accidental deaths annually.
Compare that to ~80,000,000 gun-owneres with ~240,000,000 guns and 800
accidental deaths annually.

By far, the vast majority of hospitals have strict anti-gun policies. I
can't even commute with one as one is not allowed in my car in the
parking lot on the campus.

The security guards are not armed either, but that may change soon.

It's not a matter of local state law, it's a matter of company policy.

Having unarmed employees somehow makes everybody "safer".

<sigh>

Or so they think...

You moron! Few, if any, CCW/CHL holders do that!

I guess you are afraid that that is what YOU would do with regular
access to firearms?

Quit projecting your morals on us. They don't apply.

You seem to forget those "other countries" also have less murder when
using OTHER weapons as well... so your point is moot.

So when are you going to move?

It did indeed.
Thanks for sharing that.

Is it just my imagination or are most (not all!) "tough" dog owners ass
holes? I have a neighbor with pit bulls that is a real jerk, but my
best friend owns a big, fat solid white female one and they are good
people. They used to own rottweilers so not ALL of them are jerks, but
I'd say a good number of them are. I think they substitute tough dogs
for testicles.

But, like me, my friends make an effort to keep their dogs confined.

I never served in the military.
Mom and dad met in the Air Force. Dad discouraged me from doing it,
otherwise I might have.

He always had authority issues but by the time I realized that, it was
too late.

I was able to live at home for 3 of my 4 years getting a BS-MT degree so
I'm doing ok. No real regrets.

Not having to pay room and board in college is a real plus. Minimum wage
jobs took care of the rest (tuition and books) and made me appreciate
money more.

I'm just glad that I was able to graduate from college with no student
loan debt.

We could do that now with some of th guys on the agency. In any law
enforcement agency you will find a percentage of guys who like to work
out. It is not as high as in fire departments because of the way the
work differs (they get to work out in the station while waiting for
fires, we have to drive around to the donut shops while waiting for
calls), but there are some.

Given the state law, our agency will now have a higher percentage of
them than many departments. Maybe for 2010, our agent's association will
publish a calendar as a fund raiser. I will suggest it to them.

I've seen them at the local Gym.
But the firemen still outnumber them 4 to 1. <g>

Seriously.

Could not hurt for PR...

I'm still annoyed about the information from you that the loss of
officers during 9-11 was not as well publicized as the loss of fireman.
That was so unfair.

On the upside, the assistant chief showed up (briefly) at class last
week wearing shorts and a muscle shirt.

One of the less inhibited students whistled. And the dude has gray
hair. He was obviously showing off. And that's ok!
