Do me a favor David. If you're going to drag my name into some inane argument between you and JoeNation (or anyone else for that matter) at least quote me from a post. You know, like a thread where I said "I felt my life was in danger" because when you get down to it I don't give a rat's ass if Joe thinks I'm in danger. You're asking JoeNation if he thinks my life is in danger and if that's why I own a gun? How the hell would he know and how the hell would it matter? Buying a gun was MY decision. Not yours and not Joe's. I have posted more than once why I own a gun. It was my decision based on a real incident. On the other hand I went miniature golfing the other day with my wife. Not to worry we had a bazooka. Damn that thing DESTROYED the windmill! I felt threatened.
