LOL, that happens to me all-the-time. I get involved posting something, only to find that someone else beat me to the send key by a few seconds. That's what it looks like here, because both of these are only one or two posts apart.
Phreepin is Phun!
This is great!
And are a member of the NRA?
Jealousy that they weren't there first??? I dunno know. I don't get it either.
Well at least the reporter properly identified the handgun make model and caliber this time...
The fact that the owner of that firearm was licenced to carry is a great revelation to the story...
The fact that the suspect/perp (depending on what part of the country you are from) was not stupid enough to do anything more after the drop was made on them is probably a good thing as well...I'm sure it had the potential of going bad extremely fast and sure If Mr. Sherlock had had to discharge his weapon to stop any additional threat to anyone.
Sounds to me like Mr. Sherlock practiced great restraint in not discharging his weapon...
And the fact that no action was reported taken against Mr. Sherlock is a great thing!
I will drink a toast to Mr. Sherlock, and thank him for taking his responsibilities seriously!
If I ever failed in my responsibilities, it will be because I ran out of ammunition, but in that time my friends will have had a chance to get away and live.
Like I posted on the other thread, who wants to bet the KFC puts up a "No Guns Allowed" sign?
Customers with guns is just too much to tolerate. Why, some bad guy could get hurt and then they would get sued!!
Any takers?
Let me be the first to ask: illegal alien?
Do you work for the association? Almost all of your posts ask this question or mention it. Just wondering.
You are probably right - but that won't stop criminals carrying screwdrivers from holding them up!
I guess the clerk's lack of English gave Sherlock time to draw!
Armed Citizen PING
I'm thinking about getting the new IN `lifetime carry permit' but at age 50 I'm trying to figure if the convenience is worth $100. $35 every four years, right? You gotta go through the ppwk, fingerprinting.
OK, let's say I make 70 ripe old years. Thats 20 divided by 4 (taking off my shoes, nib this, cipher that, carry the double-ought) $140 the old way, and the hassle of 4 renewals...
Why, you've talked me into it!
If you just carry, say, a double barrel shotgun instead of a handgun, you don't need to go through the paperwork registration.
To convey the immpression that concealed carry is a privilege and not a right.
I may just get a holster for my B-40 rocket.
SHOULD READ: "approached from behind and pulled out a Taurus 9mm handgun, emptied the clip into the perp and ate chicken until police arrived"
What are the chances the MSM will cover this? Yeah, zero.
Left out of the article, the supect's order was the 'Hillary Special'...two small breasts, two large thighs, and a Left wing.
