I think to be honest if most people had an Apache and managed to get it started up, the first thing they'd do is crash it. They look like quite a challenge to fly.


If Stratford has a custom involving boobflashing it's not one I've ever heard of. I can only surmise that once the UK heard you were coming, they were laid on as part of the special treatment we all planned for you.

That warms my heart to no end! I know it was meant as a surprise, but I wish I'd been closer to fully appreciate the view.

Yes, I do know you are joking, but that is exactly the kind of comment I have grown accustomed to in talking with those of the Anglican persuasion, or Angling Saxons as I prefer. It is almost pleasant to be insulted by a Brit.  LOL

I know a few helo pilots and they say they are easier than fixed wings to fly - well, after about 300 hours of practice or so.  ;-)

Man... I'm glad I was busy cleaning all my guns when this shit got heated!

Everyone knows my view on the subject, and I promise to keep the list of requested firearms from teh a secret!

About the only thing I have to add is this...

Just because you have a gun and shoot someone doesn't mean they instantly fall dead.  Well they do if you shoot their brains out, but hey that's probably some kind of delicacy over there you blood pudding monsters!

I've said this multiple times, but dammit I'm saying it again! :)  Most law abiding gun owners here pray they never have to use it on another person!  But if someone found themselves in that position most criminals would get the point with a shot to the knee or leg or hand or ass or whatever.  Just avoid the vitals.  I'm starting to think you guys don't watch zombie movies or horror films!  Don't you see the punishment people can take?  Hell, I just rewatched Tropic Thunder last night and fucking Tugg Speedman had to have taken 200 rounds and he even played volleyball with a grenade and didn't die!  But he did lose his hands.  That was pretty sad I guess...

Which goes against all the rules of shooting people. Aim for centre mass, don't shoot what you don't want to kill etc. Sorry, but that bit is absolute bollocks - no way is someone full of adrenaline and who has probably never fired a shot in anger going to be able to accurately target a body part like that, and if you shoot you know that.

For the most part I agree, but even shooting for center mass isn't an instant death sentence.  Unless the intruder or criminal is out of their mind on something even the sight of a gun is sometimes enough to change their minds.  Imagine yourself sneaking into a dark house and hearing the sound of someone cocking their weapon.  I'd know right away that if I continued bad shit was going to happen and think really hard about what was about to happen.

The key point is you never shoot anything you aren't happy killing, though. Yes, shooting them in the chest may not kill them but I'd not take the odds, personally.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not even that anti-gun and I've definitely own them if they were legal, but I don't really like the idea of all my neighbors owning them so I prefer the legality being that nobody can.

I don't think there was ever, or will ever be a time when someone in a self defense position would be happy hurting someone.  To me it wouldn't matter what the weapon was, I don't like the idea of hurting anyone but I'd do it with whatever weapon I could get if it meant protecting my family.

That's part of the idea behind concealed carry.   You have to assume everyone is carrying a gun and it should make you think before you decide to carry out a crime on that person.

'Course it doesn't take away the latent fear that someone potentially concealing a gun also has the potential to go completely postal.

Don't make me use the "Guns don't kill people" speech on you mister!

If I were going to kill someone I think it would be much more fun to chase them around with my car!

I knew that was setting me up for all sorts o' crap. :J

I think that Chris Rock sketch sums it all up for me - the guns don't kill people, bullets do thing.

This has probably been linked and viewed to death already, but here it is:

Well, I am not really a Chris Rock fan, but there's a lot of truth in his routine. It is usually white whackos shooting up schools. Thank God I stay brown all year long.  :-P

Do you really believe that? I am not so sure.

I killed a squirrel the other day, intentionally. Not because I wanted to (even though I hate their destructiveness), I sort of had to. Ever had a squirrel in your house/flat? I have. It can get dicey and dangerous. They have claws and teeth. They chew on rain gutters, tree limbs and are ruining my chimney. They've taken up a nest in the Douglas fir in my front yard. I wasn't happy I killed it, rather relieved the pest was gone.

If they didn't make so much noise bounding across the roof (and ruining it) it would be one thing. But they are contantly digging in my grass to find nuts they haven't buried or are too stupid to remember where they are. They dig in our flower pots/beds for nuts that aren't there. If I get three more, the family is gone and I save a possible 18 more baby squirrels.

Squirrels have no real enemies here. A hawk will get them occasionally, but not often enough to keep populations down. I do, however, not care to fire pellets indiscriminately, so I think I will get a lethal trap and avoid problems in the future. You can kill nuisance squirrels, but shooting them is not in any way encouraged, so I will have to give it up. Trapping will do the same thing in the end and the Broad Wing may appreciate no steel in his lunch, should he find it soon enough after termination.

Perhaps I can train one...

Hey, it was either him or my gutters, flower pots, gardens or lawn.
