.....and I carry.

[wyliec]

So, what would you call the people in North Korea? Iran? Sudan to name a few... Free?

I call them North Koreans, Iranians, and Sudanese.

I think the title of this thread is.......and I carry. That was in reference to those in the States and spyderlovers. These same type of threads have gone south when a poster has called those who don't carry sheeple. That comment and others just like have been in reference to those here. Of course now you're going to say it wasn't meant towards others here, correct?

Why not let Bob Ledford say whom he was talking about?

Kick starting thread again. Lol

One if the above countries is where I barely escaped alive. I still have family there. They would find your creatively dismissive answer as week minded as I. I'll exit with the others and leave you to your
View attachment 85328

To think this all started with a question to Bob Ledford, which has gone unanswered, and has degraded to this.

I'll just leave your circular reasoning and kool-aid alone and move on. By the way, it's weak minded. Week minded means I am thinking 7 days ahead; so, thank you for your compliment.

Back to you SNOOPY.

Why doesn't everybody just take a breath, and simmer down...
Angry rhetoric only brings out the worst in all of us. I'm pretty sure that getting the thread yanked because folks don't want to respect the opinions of thers, really isn't in anyone's best interests.
Soo... who wants some ice cream?

Okay, backing off. No ice cream though.:thumbup:

To think that by owning handguns that we are safer is ridiculous. Of the wealthy nations in the world we are #1 in gun ownership and #1 in violent crime. Those with tougher gun regulations are much safer by comparison. http://www.kdnuggets.com/2012/12/new-poll-gun-violence-vs-gun-ownership.html

I own guns but am realistic about the impact guns have on our society. More people owning guns does not make it safer. http://islandia.law.yale.edu/ayers/Ayres_Donohue_article.pdf

One evening, sitting at home around 8:30 there was a knock at the door. I answered and there stood a man in an old field jacket, beard and had his hand in his jacket pocket. He looked somewhat surprised. He said he was looking for the "roofer" to see if he could get a job. I told him I didn't know who he was talking about. My "spider" sense was tingling. I closed the door and told my wife to call the sheriff's office, gave her a description to give to them and got my shoes and pistol. I looked out the front window in time to see this guy running from the back of my neighbors house across the street. I knew they weren't home. My neighbor was a pilot and deployed to Desert Storm. They had two dobermans in the house. I went out the door and took an opposite route to come out above where he was walking.

As I got to the top of the road I heard a window break and someone shout. I saw the same guy jump a fence. He crossed the road and saw me. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was coming from his momma's house. I asked what her name was and what house. He said the gray house across the street. He put his hand in his jacket pocket and I pulled the 357 from my belt and dropped it to my side. His eyes looked like beacons when he saw the gun. About that time a deputy rounded the corner. The guy tried to run, I nailed him behind the knee with a kick. The deputy cuffed him and away they went. The guy had a rap sheet. At that time there was no CC law in NC. But the sheriff never said a word.

The subdivision we lived in had a lot of military folks living there and nearly all were deployed for Desert Storm. The house he tried to break in to, the owner was in bed. He heard someone at the bedroom window, then heard the glass break. He turned the light on and the guy took off. That's when another neighbor yelled.

The deputies found a .22 handgun in the grass and some ammo in the guys pocket. Apparently he dropped the gun when he went over the fence.


There have been a rash of home invasions recently in NC. Two were within 10 miles of where I live. In some cases, the home owners were armed and were able to subdue the perps. In a few cases, at least one of the perps was shot, and a few have been killed. One of those killed was a 16 year old. His mother swore that he was a good boy and never got in trouble. That was one of the break-ins that occurred not far from me There is a trial going on now in Raleigh. Two individuals broke in to a home, one forced the woman into a sex act while the other held her husband at gunpoint. The wife was able to escape and her husband was shot, in the back, and is now paralyzed. These same two punks have been charged with several other home break-ins/invasions.

Amen

:agree: this board is about Spyders, and with the history of threads about guns (and other things) turning ugly. Makes me wonder why people continue to agitate this board with threads like this.

I am sure that many gun manufacturers have their own forums. Let's leave this one to Spyders.

 

[jwulf74]

This is the off topic section of the board...

...and I carry, on my Spyder...and everywhere but work where they don't allow it.

"Off-Topic"; iseems pretty self-evident... :dontknow:

We've got the adventures of Perman Binkley, a HUGE thread on jokes, There's always pictures of cars in here somewhere, a whole bunch of music...
If you want to discuss pretty-near anything in here; we're up for it! :thumbup:

:shocked: The only thing is; Y:lecturef_smilie: ou've got to respect the opinions of others during the debates that inevitably will ensue!

 

[ValCruzSpyder]

YEP!

:agree::agree:
Could not have said it better than that!!

 

[Bob Denman]

Now; back to the adventures of Pergie and Doris! :thumbup:

My Opinion and Not an argument.

I Carry! My choice and right. Your american choice not to carry is your right. I feel sorry for anyone whose country says they can't carry or even own a handgun or rifle. In America you are not required to own a gun. In Switzerland almost every male is required to have a gun. Yet the gun crime is extremely small. You have to wonder what is the difference. Definitely NOT the gun.

The problem with arguing this with non-americans and gun haters is.......Arguing on the internet is........well you know.

 

[Bob Denman]

It doesn't need to be an argument... :shocked:
We should never back away from an honest exchange of ideas; it's how we learn, and it's how we make new friends! :2thumbs:
I once heard a saying, and I know that I don't quite have it exactly as I was told...
"You want to give somebody a really big head-ache? Beat them over the head with your Bible! Just don't expect them to learn much from the experience."
If we ALL thought the same way... what would we be?

:shocked:

 

[vrodrjs]

:shocked:

Ummm..... Harley Riders? Before anybody gets all wound up, it is a joke, and I ride one so I think I can say that.

 

[Bob Denman]

Yes; yes you can! :thumbup:
But since you brought them up...

I know it's from 2010; but it's a CLASSIC; just like Harley! :thumbup:

This thread is beginning to tank!

Looks like I was right, and I am sad that I was.

 

[Bob Denman]

Okay...
What would you like to discuss in here? :dontknow:
Climb up on the soapbox, and give it a whirl! :clap: :2thumbs:
