Don't want to kill anyone. Not paranoid either. Cautious yes. Always have been since I learned at an early age that God can take you anytime. You make sense, as usual; BUT; dropping the purse does not insure she would live. 2 cases recently in the news. Woman gives 3 crooks the till, and one walks back in the store and kills her. Man gives up his wallet to a thug, and the thug still killed him. Not trying to argue; just sayin'. Bullet, not bullit.

ain't nothing wrong with Barney........ Andy let him have one bullit he kept in his shirt pocket.....

Norwegians hanging out at St. Vincent's now.

Butch54....best comment I read!!!!!! Not bickering with everyone else but said it like it is.

Good morning all you want to be killers. Or I should say paranoid. I wish one of you want to be killers would put me out of my pain and suffering. I get so tired of get more guns, kill more people. Talk about stinking thinking. They have been making the foolish things for a long time. Has the killing stopped. That's what I'm talking about. The economy is bad. The way to slow the crime rate is to improve it. I'm just glad the rest of my life is short. I was as bad a criminal as walked some say. Missed getting my life sentence. My partner got his. All that time I never carried a stupid gun.The way to crime free is in education,economy, and tougher laws. Those are the things to promote. We have to have guns. I don't argue with that. Just the attitude of some. Let me leave you with a saying a wise person left me with one time. Simple IQ numbers are not a measuring stick for the stupidity and idiocy of man. Actions and attitude work better. I know. I know. So look at this. If she had that pistol. Concealed. The guy had the drop. Which is smarter. Drop the purse and live. Or try to get out that gun with his already in your face. I'm dropping the purse. Hell I'll knock it out of Grannies hand. I can get her another. Well after the beat down I'll get. Yes and Grannie still wears dresses and skirts. I get to see those legs.

arkyny - did the woman have a skirt on???? wow - not many of them around anymore . . .

ladyofthehill; Tell your friend she needs more than the permit. Practice, practice, practice. Learn the places on the body that will stop them. Heart, aorta, brain or brain stem, etc. And use hollow points; more damage once inside the body.

No, I'm not deadset on arguing with you. But you mention "facts". On the other story, you say Nazi Germany was communist. Two different ideologies; read your history books back at ya! Why the need to call me names? My IQ is far, far above being an idiot. I spent my youth walking and riding my horse around the woods in south Arkansas. I've hiked in the mountains and deserts of southern AZ. I'm aware of my surroundings at all times; it's difficult to come up behind me. And yes, I am still fast and accurate. So I'll take my chances. I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees. I assume you would rather live on your knees by your comments. Enjoy the view do ya? Yes, someday I'll be in the obits; as will you. Something we all have to do. And my name isn't Barney. What you gonna do? Wet your pants? Your "facts" are misleading and incorrect; and really, what's with the name calling?

If they are high on crack or what ever you need a big gun,i know a lady shot one with a 38 only made him mad.I agree something needs to be done but with the system the way it is forget it.

I gotta go with the Yankee on this one. These crook's need to be thinned out. On another note.... If some of the good guy's would've had a gun on campos in Conn. this morning. Maybe this world would still be 20 children and 6 adults richer than it is now. The other kicker of that deal is... He put himself out of our misery. In one way thats a good thing but in another.... It just don't seem wright that you can't do something worse to the guy. I know that's not the Christion way to be but that's how my earthly feels. Prayers for all involved even the shooters family. They are feeling pain and shame at this time just knowing that a member of they're family would do such a terrible thing like that. Condolences to all these families. Sorry folks I got off topic. I feel like all of us tax payers that try to do wright need to be carrying or have some sort of way to defend ourselves. Guns,knives,clubbs,Tyqondoe.... What ever it takes.
