I hope you never feel the need to take it out of your pocket.


Me too. =A0I haven't been mugged in 67 years and I only know one person
who has so I think my ever actually drawing it is highly unllikely.
What's changed is that a mugging/assault =A0that would be =A0recoverable
for most could =A0now =A0be fatal for me. =A0


But now that you have it, and I can imagine how it gives you some
sense of security, can you clue me in on the circumstances and
methodology in which you would use it?

It is now apparent that the trolls have taken over the discussion
using the "yes, but" technique whenever a point is made.


LOL. * I do keep falling for that, *don't I! *It's like herding cats.
No namecalling yet, though.

*Larry Jaques *is probably larfing his arse off about now.


So, civil disagreement is now trolling? Sorry, Don, I'm not going to
go out an get an education in urban warfare tactics just so you can
have a worthy opponent in this discussion. I was interested in your
thoughts on the subject. I now have them. I'm satisfied, and done with
it. But jeeze, no need for you to get all snotty about it.

Sheesh.


He did have a point, r.s. The thread started as my impressions of a
particular pistol. There are shooters on this n.g. that might find
that interesting. You then asked about "circumstances and
methodology", to which I responded. Then the "yes but" started.
I cited references. You don't want to read a book and inform yourself
on the subject of self defense (which is very different from urban
warfare) but you do want to debate and present views based on sparse
and sometimes incorrect information or perceptions. Perhaps you
shouldn't be amazed if I get a bit bristly when you start with "could
you clue me in", "it seems to me" and "it is truely foreign to me"
but then want to debate whether I should be allowed to possess the
object I reviewed -- while you still don't care to inform yourself on
relevent issues like the very methodology you claimed to inquire
about.

That lures Wayne out of his off-grid hideout to assert that I am so
irresponsible or inept that my gun will end up in a schoolyard and
that anyone who has a carry permit is a timorous crackpot. You're not
responsible for what he says but t'was you that took the thread in
that direction.

Then, when Unka George suggests that you're trolling and I see humor
in that, you call me snotty.

I thought I was quite patient with you.
