Thread: Playing With Guns Is Good For Boys

Excellent post, Frankie.

Curious that none of the anti-gun crowd respond - w/any logic that is - to the argument that if one is old enough to fight and die for his country, they should be able to purchase said firearms, eh?

That's what the army is for in civilised countries.

You can join the army at 17 but can't drink a beer in many places till 21.

All pretty goofy ain't it. Was even worse before they lowered the voting age from 21 to 18. No beer and no say in the government that was sending 18 year olds to war.

We'll just have to find some suitable targets for the boys now and make sure they won't hurt themselves, or each other, during the love-feast.

Isn't it cool to have John back?

...heh...

Looks like he's been missing me.

Haven't posted on his site for a while, got a bit too childish over there.
Imagine an admin deleting a smilie from the menu because one of his political opponents uses it frequently.

*bump*

...sure is quiet out there from the 'usual' suspects!

Oh well...

Yes, he's probably correct, which is why so many of complain about Chav anti-culture which is ruining much of the UK.

Happy now?

Interesting. I never felt threatened in England.

Then again, I was armed with a GAU and a Baretta.

Obviously not a 'gun-free' zone, eh?

Heh...that's why it's called Concealed Carry.

Gun Toting Diners Draw Little Notice

The patrons at Champps in Reston, an upscale restaurant and bar chain, were eating ribs and drinking beer on a recent Saturday when customer Bruce Jackson stood up and made an announcement: He was armed, and so were dozens of other patrons.

The armed customers stood up in unison, showing off holstered pistols. Mr. Jackson said a word or two about the rights of gun owners to carry firearms in Virginia, then thanked everyone for his or her attention and sat down.

And the diners returned to their burgers and Budweisers.

so let me see if i've got this right...

umprompted, this guy stands up from his table at a restaurant to announce to the other patrons that he's carrying a loaded hand gun.

doesn't this strike anyone else as (at the very least) bizarre behavior?

ahhhh........

taken from boon mee's link....

The Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL) organized the dinner at Champps

The dinner — and several other restaurant visits throughout Northern Virginia last month — were a response to comments from the majority leader in the state Senate, Democrat Richard L. Saslaw, who said during a legislative debate that armed patrons would be unwelcome in Northern Virginia restaurants.

"In most urban areas, you walk into a restaurant with a gun on your hip, they're going to tell you to get out," Mr. Saslaw said.

In fact, with a few exceptions, the gun owners got their meals. The group went to eight different restaurants last month — at two of them, they were asked to leave. More often than not, though, their presence failed to generate a stir.

The restaurants included numerous family establishments including the Fuddruckers burger chain and the McLean Family Restaurant.

(virginia) is only one of two states — along with Montana — that requires people to openly carry arms in restaurants that serve alcohol, according to the Web site opencarry.org, which promotes and monitors gun owners' rights. Eleven states ban guns in restaurants that serve alcohol, while the rest make no distinction between open and concealed weapons.

so these yahoos are going to restaurants with guns with the sole purpose of creating conflict.

and what do they want?

to carry concealed weapons in establishments that serve alcohol.

great.
