I’d say, “Cool. Let me go and get my Kimber .45 to show you.”

Offer to hold it for him so he didn’t get it dirty.

Seems like they’re moderating comments.

My comment - as long as he’s been environmentally responsible and “green,” let him be.

Btw, I said, “I’d stroll over with a beer and ask if he needed any help”

ding ding ding ding. Mind my own business. Heck mine shoots his hand gun in the yard. I wish he would just carry it, it is a bit quieter that way.

We live out in the woods, everybody has a gun or two, not a big deal.

Go get my gun and holster and join him/her while he/she planted the tree..I would not want him/her to be lonesome..Maybe call all the neighbors with their guns to join us..Guns don’t hurt you just the criminals that use them do..

Ask a stupid question and I will give you a real answer..

From Obama from Chicago:

If Axlrerod said he carried it
If local media said he was going to carry it
If same local media later said the carrying took place
If the guys newsletter said the carrying took place
If, under a freedom of information request, a thank you note for carrying it took place....

I’d ignore it just like the media ignored my meeting with Blagoavich.

Ask him if he knows any good deals on ammo.

Mine didn’t show up either.
