It's time to remember Flim-flam from rec.guns who used a .25 to do
exactly what Don was saying. The link was from a different group,
but it's the same message I remember.

Ayup...he was stuck on the end of a ninja sword, held by a nutcase..who
was then shot 4 times in the face at contact range by a .25...

Think that sort of thing is going to happen with any regularity?

Nah. I'd agree with you there, but it reinforces that any gun is
better than no gun. How much gun you carry or whether you carry at
all is a personal choice and a matter of how much risk you're likely
to face.

Well DUH...of course any gun is better than no gun. But why the devil
should one carry an Almost Gun in lew of a real one?????

Thats like having a Chiwawa as a guard dog rather than a german shepard.

Yes....the TacoBell dog will make noise and perhaps even attack the bad
guy, but the chances of him stopping a determined attacker immediately
is pretty slim, no?

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
