I think I am mostly a sheep. I definitely would not have chosen to be on one of those planes although would hope I would have tried to do something.

Of course some sheep can turn into guard dogs. I remember my Mother who was the sweetest and kindest person I have ever known. She was slender and pretty, probably could have been a model if she hadn't married a farmer.

I remember once when we were in the woods picking berries and a wild dog came up, at first seeming friendly then began acting strangely. Mother grabbed me and put me on a stump then picked up a limb and began beating him viciously. It is clear to me now, that she had the blood of her Scottish warrior ancestors, flowing in her veins.

The dog backed off but wouldn't leave. She picked me up and warily carried me home, got Daddy's .22 and went back but the dog was gone.

I enjoyed the story, and have to wrestle with staying prepared at all times.
If youre going on a long trip or to a unknown area,you always arm up.
But sometimes it just feels odd to get armed to go to the grocery store.
But heck Im packin when I cut the grass now L0L
Being unprepared is Bhaaahhhd

My SIGs purpose is to either buy me time to get to the Benelli M1 Super 90 or to 'buy' a rifle from one of my enemies.

"My SIGs purpose is to either buy me time to get to the Benelli M1 Super 90 or to 'buy' a rifle from one of my enemies."

Well, when you get down to it, the 1911A1 and the S&W39 only serve to slow them down until I get to either the M1 Garrand or SKS.
