Also my car can be used as a 2000 lb. bullet.<br />My dog will alert me to intruders before i get out of my car.<br />BTW- i checked Lisa out famfire with AK's and black guns.<br />I also didn't say what's in the trunk -did I?<br />BB,<br />A 410 is a fine home protection piece if used with buckshot. It's also a great learning gun. I reckon I could handle one since I used to take buckshot out of M79 rounds and put bb's in their place and then shoot doves, then mamasan would cook them.<br />jimrangerhttp://rangeragainstwar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-55970125240588571112009-07-23T23:48:59.583-07:002009-07-23T23:48:59.583-07:00Publius, Lisa told me about the upcoming article o...Publius, Lisa told me about the upcoming article over at ranger's site.

How do you get to what you need in the trunk if you're in the passenger compartment and someone is in the way of your getting to the trunk?Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189226852559033120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-89334811822516131582009-07-23T19:01:27.512-07:002009-07-23T19:01:27.512-07:00publius,

I personally carry them in my trunk,locked away and loaded. Since i live where we shoot sunlight in with artillery I will never approach my house unarmed.I live in the sticks.<br />Lisa is quite good with a shotgun shooting skeet. She's a natural wing shot. She's less apt with a pistol hence the shotgun by the bed.<br />BTW she learned to shoot from one of the best. No hints necessary. Hell I even armed her with a knife and taught here how to use it. So much for the gentle thing. <br />The NYT pic was nice.<br />jimrangerhttp://rangeragainstwar.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-28967632572121584882009-07-23T17:15:04.625-07:002009-07-23T17:15:04.625-07:00Good catch, Basil.

First, I am impressed with you being featured in the NY Times, and I also admire the hell out of you living without a/c in the climate we all enjoy. You're far tougher than I am. And the question: What's with the guns? Somehow I'd gotten the impression you were pretty much against such gear, perhaps from something you said on Ranger's site. In any event, you've proven to be quite wise in figuring out means of self protection. As I believe I noted at Ranger's site, I always have an equalizer at hand in my home. Interestingly enough, I also live in a state where it's legal to carry in a car. The wisdom of such a law is apparent whenever one ventures into Deliverance country. Our states are pretty similar.Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189226852559033120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-90942380478663210532009-07-23T09:34:12.348-07:002009-07-23T09:34:12.348-07:00Oh my.

(Chief, you are sweet.)<br /><br />Ranger: You are incorrigible, so do not play otherwise ;)<br /><br />POLT: Do not think me so easily taken by your "myth of redemptive violence." I liked neither Popeye nor Roadrunner, and the Three Stooges were entirely too violent [and silly]. My attraction to testosterone has a more primal basis.<br /><br />True that my liking for strong and brave men is part of a prevailing archetype, and myths have long fascinated me. Though my Gloria Steinem - Simone de Beauvoir-reading mother tried to beat it out of me, there it is.<br /><br />I am with Marcel's "The Spirit of Abstraction as a Factor Making for War," and have always thought that affiliation of any kind serves a divisive function. To "cleave to" is also to cleave "from". <br /><br />Please don't think I worship violence. However, I realize that the potential exists in each of us, and the only way to reduce it in the world is to eradicate it from within, a pretty tall order for a measly human.<br /><br />Meantime, I'll continue to appreciate the soldier in a very personal way.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839236994990699117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-53378003838217412082009-07-21T17:18:07.376-07:002009-07-21T17:18:07.376-07:00Publius,

Especially those who in WW1 went to the ambulance corps, or in WW2 and later went as medics, or even those absolutists who went to prison for their belief. That too took a skosh bit of testosterone. But the draft dodgers like Cheney and draft evaders like Bush who were "<i>contemptuous</i>" objectors can kiss the a$$ of the true conscies like Quakers, Mennonites and others as far as I am concerned.mikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-381917167978264683.post-74424085695883639842009-07-21T11:31:17.239-07:002009-07-21T11:31:17.239-07:00Good on Ya, Lisa!
