The Right To Bear Arms...

I like to exercise my right to bear arms. I think it's rediculous with all these pansy-assed, guns-kill-people frame of mind people trying to put laws that are as strict as possible on guns. Why not use pepper-spray or a tazer? Reliability. I will use whatever means necessary to protect my family and myself. I'm sorry but a tazer and pepper spray aren't going to cut it for me. Whats your take on the Right To Bear Arms?

Oh yes

And I like to exercise my right to bare arms[/Larry]

No restrictions - just pass a background check ... we're Americans, we know what to do! 8)

KATN!

Shoot first, ask questions later.

Interesting that you say, "interesting"

Kicking Ass and Taking Names

*says, "Intruders inside."*

LOL ... that ain't funny, but ... we've actually rehearsed it. She rolls off the bed against the wall ... I "lock and load" (chamber) a 12 gage round ... you know that sound at night, when it's dark and you think you have surprize ... it's a chilling sound, to say the least ... will absolutely freeze a break-in man's sh|it ... 8O

WTF where you doing trying to sneak into a gun owners house without notice ... that can get you killed ... sorry, but true

If they ever come to take my guns, I'll give 'em to them... Lead first!

My wife and I were M.P.'s in the Army and we both own Beretta's. However, none of that M9 9mm bulls*hit. We carry nuthin but .40's and 45's. Beretta makes a great S&W .40 cal.

Anyways, point is, I feel for anyone who tries to break in our house. My wife was one of the few females in our unit who could shoot expert w/ the M9. She was also good at night fires.

I just equipped my Beretta 96FS w/ tritium night sights. Those things are awesome. The army should equip soldiers w/ those.

Reading this, I have no idea what I'd do if my apt was broken into at night... making me paranoid!

I could make a ton of noise and throw stuff at the buggers... *ponders what would be at hand* You think a vibrator flying into your head would hurt?

Pepper Spray sucks. I've only successfully used it 2 times- the rest of the times it was a bust. When someone is drunk or high (which is what you deal with 75% of time as a law enforcement officer), it has very little affect. It's great for dogs though.

Tasers are ok. I've never actually used one, but I've heard anecdotal accounts from my cop buddies that they usually work. Again, in some cases when ur dealing with someone on drugs and they're already mentally deranged, tasers don't work so well.

I definitely advocate the use of tasers instead of firearms in the majority of situations (fights, domestic disturbance, knives, etc). But if a dude has a gun or rifle- I'm using a gun.

A well kept handgun almost never fails. Especially a .45 ACP or a .357 revolver.

I was an M.P. in the Army. Had to use it all the time...

One case was rather straightforward. 2 drunk soldiers were fighting outside a night club on post. For whatever reason the spray we used worked. They just hit the ground and started puking, crying, etc. I had a similar situation in which the pepper spray didn't work at all. It's hit and miss with that crap.

Roger that. Though in a close quarters situation, aim isn't necessarily critical w/ a .45. Even if you hit the guy in the arm or leg, he's going down. I've got a .357 6 inch GP100 Ruger that has almost no recoil with a .357 round. That barrel absorbs most of the recoil. Shoots like a 9mm.

lol... not on the streets. they puked because they were drunk. pepper makes you feel like you can't breath and can cause gagging.

but yeah- it does depend on brand sometimes. i've seen some brands work better than others. it's wierd. i personally prefered pepper foam- that way ur not spraying ur partner or anyone else in the vacinity. that and you can see what you're hitting a little better...

Glad he didn't do it in the woods... would've had bears running at him from miles away... [/lame]

Mike.

yeah that was lame. Bears would have run away, not vice versa.
Heh, I was remembering a joke that makes its way around the 'net every fall when hunting season gets close - you can tell one bear dropping from another by the smell of pepper spray.

But besides that... I'm not a bear, but if I were and someone sprayed pepper spray in my face (and thats not likely to take a bear down as you admit) I wouldn't be running 'away'...

Mike.

You oughta watch Penn & Teller's episode on "gun control."

It's enlightening. I have it here in my office on DVD, would you like to see it? I'll send it to ya w/ return label.

If its the one google video has just google "penn teller gun episode".

Whoops - meant to be to krazykid. (I know, its misspelled ... yah, it would've taken less time to correct the spelling than type this ... I'm just that way I guess...)

Mike.

Maybe if you have the presence of mind to turn it on first... 8O

yes but I can guarantee you the cops don't get shi77y tasers.

I personally don't know anyone with a taser, so I have a question that is probably stupid.......are they commercially available?

Yeah you can order them, I bought a taser to fook with my friends when they were sleeping!

Yeah you can order them, I bought a taser to fook with my friends when they were sleeping!

But you cannot buy good ones?

My bad - do a straight google search and it's the 4th item down - it's the google video... Why google video doesn't find it with the same search I don't know.

Mike.

aight...thx. I watch it later.
