In my experience they’ll give you access on the spot once you produce a death certificate and a marriage certificate.

I don’t want anyone to be afraid or feel helpless if I can give them the tools to feel in control.

Thanks. Pretty sure we’ve covered improvised weapons once or twice in my 20 years of martial arts training, though. ;-)

I’ll fight with my bare hands, Sparky, but I’m trained. I refuse to cower. All I have to do is get out of the way of the muzzle, and trust me, it doesn’t take much. You want to piss yourself in fear, go right ahead.

You might not. The rest of us kinda want to go down swinging if we go, so you just stand there and be a distraction with the bleeding and the screaming while the rest of us take him out.

I feel like you would get shot while you wasted time trying to talk to someone who wanted to kill you.

I’ve breathed in that stuff (it was hanging in the air after some asshole set it off in a stairwell). It was awful. If I’d actually gotten that full in the face I’d have been unable to breathe -- it’s more than just a “distraction”.

If you’re in Massachusetts or NH, ping me. I teach self-defense, and I will help you.

If you get past the muzzle of the gun, the bullet can’t hurt you.

We train for it at my dojo. The secret is getting your body out of the projected path of the bullet (obviously before firing), which means being aware of the muzzle and being able to get past it and get control before you get shot. It’s hard, no doubt about it, but I’d rather face a person with a gun than a person…

Pulling a gun does qualify as the threat of deadly force. I learned to shoot at ten, when I was tall enough to see over the bench. Before that I still spent my childhood at the range with my dad, picking up his brass after he finished a course of fire. There were two things he impressed upon me from the time I could…

Sarcasm aside, there was a link at the top of the page with a definition. Forgive me for being in a bit of hurry.

Even though it really should have been for Katya.

It’s on your computer, though. And Drag Race is streaming all over the place.

Dear god, he literally looks like a weasel.

I think it’s like TV for them. One of my cats likes to sit on the windowsill of the big bay window and watch the world, but I’ve had the doors wide open and she doesn’t even go near them.

If they’ve never been outside, taking them out is almost cruel (I know it wasn’t your intent!). They’re used to four walls and a ceiling, so when they get outside it’s just TOO BIG.

They already had all of those. That was it. They didn’t want doubles.

Luckily my dad doesn’t notice the delivery as much as someone who’s more with it might. Subtext is lost on him.
