Why I said “gun owners” not CHL holders.

I’m not afraid of someone coming to take my guns, I’m afraid of someone convinced the government is coming to take their guns.

I carry a handgun, and even I go... if I am in a situation where someone is within six feet of me, and aggressively demanding my wallet... I’m giving them the wallet.

If someone was just bothering me... yeah, I’m not drawing my gun.

She sounds semi-proud of never pulling the trigger, but in nearly 12 years of concealed…

I agree with her that as long as people are able to carry, they will, and it’s best if you can teach them to do it as safely as possible. That shopping cart shooting of the mom by the toddler was a goddamn tragedy. And yes, people can and will argue that no one should have guns at all but right now they do. So if…

Ah, keep your perfectly maintained 911 and cynical attitude. Having kids kicks ass!

It’s so universal as a first bike that they might as well change the name to “My First Motorcycle”. There are plenty of other bikes that would make…

Insanely high beltlines. All of the decades in advancement of safety, and this is what they come up with? I mean sure, more metal, more passive safety and all that jazz...But then you’re like driving around a bunker that you can’t see out of. So it’s like one step forward, two steps back.

You’re not. I like going through O’Hare. There are much, much worse places to spend a few hours of layover time. Sure, it’s big and usually crowded, but it’s laid out well, there’s plenty to do and eat on a long layover. It’s not hard to get from one end to the other quickly.

Hold your foot forward & power through the mirror. That guy probably only has his temps.
