Re: Mind's Eye Re: Newtown Killings

the concept of more guns less death is totally erroneous, many people
especially those that have to have many guns have a problem.. My job
required me to carry a pistol and it was concealed, Truth is I hated
it.. and was written upon more than one occasion for not carrying my
weapon.the truth is if you kill some one you can never give it back..
if you cause injury it is permanent. anyone wanting to carry a
concealed weapon is really not all there I am sorry.

I still love target practice and go through about 500 pellets a
month,, my pistol now is a little pump crosman .177 and it is a blast
I have more fun sitting in my back yard plinking away and my yard is
only 12 meters long.. my wife and I have a competition going.. we
don't miss and the groups are a tight as the pistol is capable of.
the truth is It is far more fun than I have ever had with any of the
guns I have owned .. and the cheapest.. to allow nuts to carry
concealed weapons.. no wonder I like it over here..
