Yes, they are. When we were talking about defending yourself, the sister-in-law asked her husband (another liberal) if he would shoot someone attacking her. The husband has a concealed carry license and carries a big gun. The husband didn't answer for a long time - then he said, “If I shot someone I could get in trouble.” I couldn't believe the dead air time before he answered, then was stunned he wouldn't shoot.
I knew then he was just carrying that gun to be macho - he won't use it because he might get in trouble. Do you get that? He wouldn't shoot to save his wife - this man is useless in a life or death situation with a bad guy.
Plus, this is Texas and no one gets in trouble for defending his/her life or the lives of others.
I am sure the police give this same advice to their family members/s
Couldn’t have been Fast and Furious 6. Lots of gunplay and stuff but very little defensive nodding.
“The husband has a concealed carry license and carries a big gun. The husband didn’t answer for a long time - then he said, If I shot someone I could get in trouble.
Seriously?? Why doesn’t he just answer “Well, I’ll turn my firearm to my head because it’s my fault for being rich and having all these wonderful stuff while this poor man is just robbing me so he can fairly have the same wonderful things I worked hard for in life” s/
Aye, aye, aye...
Tell her that you will probably wind up defending her, eventually, but you will allow an attacker to draw first blood just to disabuse her about her pacifism protecting her. See how she reacts.
It's long been my opinion that "pacifism" like hers is evil, in that it is damaging to the soul of a protector to be indoctrinated that his protective actions are immoral.
“...included a suggestion to glance or nod at possible attackers....”
Glance or nod behind the front sight of your handgun.
Anything else is unacceptable.
Yes, he was serious. I had thought he would immediately say he would shoot the guy attacking her but there was this long silence because he was thinking - then said if he shot someone, he could get in trouble.
I was stunned. I knew he was the worst kind of liberal but he carries a gun on his person all the time. I thought he would surely protect the wife instantly but he won't.
They don't store anything and live on the coast. They know I am a prepper and think I am nuts but if TSHTF, I think they would come here because they know I am prepared. I stored more thinking they would come here. I was thinking he would be another source of defense if he was here because I knew he carried a gun, but now I don't think that. I couldn't depend on him helping me with defense.
Here's how liberal they are: They watch/listen to Aljazeera (sp) news. They say Aljazeera is the only one who tells the truth. They told me a few months ago that the only danger we have is global warming. That was to tell me storing wasn't necessary since global warming is years away and that's the only danger we have.
They helped me tremendously when my husband, her brother, was sick and dying, so I love them for that, but they are vicious in their liberalism and I've gotten to the point I tell them I'm not talking about politics with them.
Now, if they have a hurricane coming their way this year (and they have nothing stored), it will be interesting to see if they hit the road and come to my house.
