If you're close enough, not only could you kill me, you would be able to walk away without anyone knowing.

A couple quotes for fun:

"Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed - unlike citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
-James Madison

"Germans who wish to use firearms should join the SS or the SA -- ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the state."
-Heinrich Himmler

"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom."
-John F. Kennedy

Knives are brutal. If someone pulled a knife on me I would probably drop my gun and run.

i've always said i'd rather be shot that stabbed

That would suck for you...i'd have a knife and a gun. But then again, I'd probably end up accidentally ejecting the clip while trying to fire. LOL.

Beretta Mini-Cougar .45 ... (nine shot baseball bat).

Carry it for work all the time; normally just pop it in the rear compartment box behind the pass. seat when I'm in the Z. I ripped the leather in my other car carrying it on my waist band, so I always take it off in the Z.

^ good choice

Personally, I've always found it odd that this country allows 1st the right to free speech and 2nd the right to bare arms. Those 2 things right there seem like the perfect storm scenario for every domestic dispute that goes down in this country. Person A can say whatever they want and Person B can carry a gun. Hmmmmmmmm, what kind of reality show could we make up on that one?

Isn't the English language fantastic - makes you wonder what the founding fathers actually meant doesn't it?????

Or maybe it's just that Canadian air playing tricks on my brain ... help me out here wheee!
