Well now...it's only a matter of time before Sarah Brady and Charles "Chucky" Schumer propose a 10 day "cooling off" period for anybody purchasing a shoehorn! They might as well toss in mandatory criminal background checks and a one-shoehorn-per-month purchasing law to prevent those "straw buyers" from buying trunkloads of shoehorns and transporting them across state lines.

This is where we end up as a society due to the illogic of the liberal gun-grabbers...

"Stop or I'll shoe!"

[Fierce Allegiance]

When shoehorns are outlawed, only outlasw will have shoehorns.

[DogByte6RER]

Here is a photo of the offensive weapon better known as the shoehorn. Notice how this dangerous device is easily concealable by slipping the horn end in the back of the shoe and then concealing the rest of this dangerous weapon behind the lower leg!

[Huntress]

Don't bring a gun to a shoehorn fight.

[Argus]

That's clearly an illegal assault shoehorn - much more dangerous than your regular hand shoehorn. Surely even the NRA can agree that assault shoehorns must be banned.

"From My Cold Dead Hands!"

[Rakkasan1]

they have to do some "ballistic" horn printing, too.
to see what kind of marks the new horns leave on heads.

[InvisibleChurch]

I think the foot is complicit. Anyway, it sure "shoed" that guy.

[Joe 6-pack]

Some days you get the bull, some days you get the horn.

HA!

[TheKidster]

The robber was tracked down and arrested by a sleuthy Gumshoe, after he tried to horn in on another home owner's property.

Horny old man beats off intruder.

[savedbygrace]

I've embarrassed myself with that one.

[cripplecreek]

[rbookward]

And, as he smacked the fleeing intruder, the man yelled, "Shoe! Shoe!"

[Roscoe Karns]

I've embarrassed myself with that one.

Not at all. That took guts! :)

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

The assault shoehorn reminds me of the mega ice scrapers that they sell in cold states.

They make them so they can be used as a club if need be. Some are so burly as to be impractical for scraping ice and brushing snow off your car. But they are legal and cant be classified as a weapon.
