Not what you want to do......then he will be able to ID you and, because we live in this Lawyer heavy country, Sue your butt.

If you take out a gun you make sure you take him out.

having not thought through the lawyer ramification i must admit you are quite possibly right... thankyou for the reminder that even rapists can get off
with the right lawyer.

In 1940, hundreds of British fishermen and yachtsmen sailed back and forth daily under fire across a turbulent 23-mile Channel to rescue 300,000 soldiers from Dunkirk. How do we explain to the world that a tenth that number of Americans could not be reached in four days from across a stagnant pond?

because: We neglected to send in the fishermen.

I hear ya , but I think the point is that they didn't need to be sent.

Not sure if the fishermen and yachters didn't need to be sent, let alone if their boats survived, I think it was more the case that historically in instances of extreme adversity, people may not have sat on their keesters pointing the finger of responsibility at each other while doing nothing.

I actually saw in the news on the second and third day of the storm that there were convoy's of rowboats, johnboats and airboats heading into the floods to aid the stranded. Most were fisherman from neighboring towns.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles.

second ammendment violations

Isn't it a republican government ordering the removal of the weapons ? It goes along with the Ashcroft state of mind "we're the government - we can do what we want."
