What would you do?

[jlottmc]

Some of us were talking and the subject of big brother one day deciding that there would be no more concealed or open carry of fire arms came up. The big question is would you still carry?

[jocko]

I probably would keep that decision just between me , my self and I..

Once again there's a reason your considered so worldly and wise around here. I agree 100% even if it pains me slightly to always have to agree with you. I feel like a darn copy cat. I guess right is right regardless.

It's hard to give an answer without knowing all the facts....so I abstain..

What facts do you lack? Make believe (thank god) New rules say you can't carry your gun concealed or otherwise. Legal to still own. Basically no guns outside your house. You gonna be a sheep and follow the sheep herder or carry your means of defense anyhow in direct violation of the law.

Dang that sounded rather biased did'nt it? Especially from a civillian office puke law enforcer.

Not picking on ya or anything just trying to help in a nice way.

I'm wondering if this info will be deleted at a later date. This seemed like an interesting question at first, but I wonder if it can ever be used against me. Is the voting anonymous?

[hsart]

I would never assume that any electronic voting is anonymous.

[Bawanna]

Yuh think big brother is watching? I would assume our written comments could be used against us if it really mattered. (which it dont) I don't think the actual votes could be traced back the votee but of course I could be wrong.
I'm all for paranoid, it pays to be paraonoid, it's almost a survival instinct. At the same time as I approach the river crossing I find my self caring less and less what others think especially our leaders. While its obvious they are clueless to real world issues I doubt that they will ever be able to put together a street level force to deal with rabble rousers such as myself. Hitler managed it, his clone is attempting it but I think all the ones who would fall for it are already in office or counting on those in office to feed and cloth them. My security blanket is with me and will continue to be so long as I'm drawing air into my lungs.

we all learn something

Once again there's a reason your considered so worldly and wise around here. I agree 100% even if it pains me slightly to always have to agree with you. I feel like a darn copy cat. I guess right is right regardless.

I just watched a report where these copiers that we go in and get copies made etc of personal stuff alot, did you know that all these copiers have a hard drive in them similar to a computer. which means every damn thing those machine copy is stored in there just waiting to ber retrieved. It showed hundreds of these big business and industry used copier sin this ware house all wrapped to be sent over seas for resale, and every one of them had these original hard drives still in them. There was no law broken but the report said that even the owners and business 60% of them did not know that this stuff was stored at all. Can u imagine all the important data that could be floating aroundin these copiers, especially if one knoew like that these 10 used copiers came from Bank of Americaa or these 100 copies came from the IRS. The amount of data in there could run ones life.

Survey are nice but on the internet EVERYTHING has a data base somewhere. I know from now on my little copier will go to my garage and be beaten totally to death, including every damn thing inside of it, along with my computer hard drive sh-t.

That sounds like a plan, but as a former guvmint employee, let me say that by the time they get organized well enough to come after us for these comments and such, there will be many and much larger issues at hand, that will require ours/their attentions first. They just aren't that organized.

[Frankhenrylee]

There's a grand total of 4 votes. I'm thinking not many people trust big brother. I'm sure the "Unpatriotic Act" is calculating which one of us is most dangerous right now. Here's a question that I like to pose to my non gun toting friends: You don't carry a gun because you feel that this world is a safe enough place not to do so. So why would we need a law preventing it if you already feel plenty safe?

[jlottmc]

Indeed...I still think that spawn of satan insults either satan or his spawn though.

While I am going to abstain from committing myself one way or the other on THIS poll. I will say that on MY previous poll about Nancy Pelosi . It would give me GREAT pleasure if SHE were to read the results of that poll !!!!!

I just wish that MORE people had responded to it !!!!

Maybe folks think she's a witch (no offense to witches) and they are afraid she'll jump on her broom and curse them or something.
I have to admit I tried to throw the results and vote extra times but it wouldn't allow it. I mean how can a poll measure how much I hate a person?
It's just not nice to hate people but I have an ever growing list, fortunately for me and not for most of you they for the most part hang out on the east coast. I'm generally not a hating person for the most part although I have to say I never really did like ya much.


OK, I was joking on that last line. Can't stop thinking of the plumber pants on your first avatar, but mostly I think of the bouncing Betty's on Woodmans avatar. OK, I'm obsessed. I'm turning myself in.

I am abstaining form the vote....

Now, let's say for the sake of simplicity and argument that carrying a firearm on your person was made illegal(in the US). You as a gun owner make the decision to carry anyway. While carrying a situation arises where you have to employ your weapon, and you do. Take a guess at what happens next? It won't be pretty.

Of course, if such a thing was to happen and you still thought this was a government for the people, by the people.......well, you were lost anyway.

Without hesitation my answer remains the same. The two options you offer are go unarmed and get sloughtered like a farm animal, or carry a gun and stand before other humans and the government (not always the same). I'm not your basic Rambo type and if it were me alone, maybe I'd die the farm animal death but I just can't watch another person, family, friend or stranger get malled, raped, attacked or harmed. Can't watch that so again I'll keep mine, hopefully never deploy but if I do, I'll face the people and the gubment and let the chips fall where they may. If I have to make a shank in prison to protect my ass sets, I'll do that. Am I a bad American?
