Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?

Here is a little test that will help you decide.

The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You’re walking down a
deserted street with your wife
and two small children.

Suddenly, an Islamic
Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner,
locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises
Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you . . .

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family
What do you do?

THINK CAREFULLY AND
THEN SCROLL DOWN:

Democrats’ (and Californian) Answer:

Well, that’s not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?

Is it possible he’d be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

Should I call 9-1-1?

Why is this street so deserted?

We need to raise taxes, have paint & weed day.

Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior?

I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.

This is all so confusing!

I'm not a fan of killing folks. So I being an expert shot I would take out both of this guys knees and then he is alive for us to figure out why he threatened us and he will be crippled for the rest of his life as a constant reminder of his outrageous behavior.

My EDC is generally a Sig Sauer P229 Legion in 40 S&W, a Glock 23 in 40 S&W or a Colt Series 70 in 45 ACP with a James Hoag installed S&W K frame rear sight and a ramp up front. It is one of the most accurate pistols I have. The
Sig is new to me and came used but looking pretty much new. It seems to be a winner so far.

It is said of all sports the sport of shooting firearms is one of the safest and hardest to learn, sort of like golf, consistency is the key to success. My first wife hated firearms and tolerated them because I would never give them up. I went shooting/hunting jackrabbits near Palm Springs when we lived in that area in the early 70's. At the time I had a first model Ruger Bearcat .22 revolver to take with me as well as a rifle. I set up a paper target and shot at it from about 5 yards and started shooting. After the first cylinder she said it did not look like it hurt to shoot it, referring to recoil. I told her it had very little and she would like shooting it. She said she would try it. I am not joking when I say I lost that revolver that day. After 6 shots with her hitting the center of the target she was hooked. She told me that gun was hers now. I was fine with that as I had a number of other .22 revolvers as well as just about every other caliber of pistol/revolver in my safes.

Most people like shooting if only they can get over their fear of, "Oh my God, he's got a gun".

My hometown in Kentucky had US 60 going right through town and a Great Aunt and Uncle owned a restaurant right on US 60. They used to get a lot of out of state travelers and when hunting season started those people were always curious or shocked by the numbers of people going by with guns, esp kids of elementary school age with a rifle or shotgun tied to their bike handle bars headed out of town to hunt. Uncle Earl had a standard answer which went something like; "Oh, that is the Smith boy, don't worry, his family taught him to shoot safely. If he ever violates the safety rules he will be hunting with a slingshot." They retired just before girls started to get into traditional male things. Today if I went home for a visit I will bet anything that half those kids on bikes with guns or in the back of someone's pickup will be girls.

The Republican just shot himself in the head.

The Southerner shot the terrorist, and then every non-white person that came out to see what the gunshots were for.

The Democrat managed to so confuse the terrorist the he ran off screaming that he wanted to go home.

Of course it is because it supports Americans having the right of self defense and goes completely against your anti American bullshit thoughts of the Left Wing Socialist Party doing away with Constitutional rights for We the People. Now how the HELL is it you cannot figure that out? How is it you can't understand when you take rights from me you are also taking them from YOU?

But on the Other Hand, do you really think I give a Shit what your feelings are? Here is a real life CLUE. I do not care a bit about your feelings just as you don't care about mine. But remember it is you taking rights from me, dividing the country from me, making America more dangerous for me and my granddaughters by your evil stupid rules and regulations toward Socialism. Nothing I am doing or any Conservative is doing takes anything from you on the Lying Left.

Every post a Conservative submits to The Attic will be relegated by you anti American Socialists as an idiotic post won't it?

Self-defense is an inherent right. You mean the right to self-defense WITH a gun. You've absorbed way too much NRA cant. You're a giddy and unaware bombast regurgitator. Own it.

Let's see, My oldest son is 5'10", a Staff Sgt in the Army Reserves who volunteers for every overseas assignment that comes along*, Jump Master, Iraqi Veteran, his Reserve company does hand-to-hand training regularly and his fitness is what you would expect from someone like him. A mugger or even two would not be advised to take him on with bare hands.
So he can defend himself without a gun in some circumstances. But he prefers using a gun because that way the other guy doesn't have much chance of hurting him.

*He sees it as a way to see the world at Uncle Sam's expense, so far he has touched over 20 countries and spent time in about 12. Next month he leaves for a year stationed in Germany, but I get the impression Germany will be a base to visit other places.

Our daughter on the other hand is 5'3", 124 and a Pediatrician. Not exactly a Women's Wrestling or Boxing type and petite on top of that. She does know how to use sharp things, like scalpels since she has studied surgery. But doctors don't walk around carrying scalpels. So besides not being a good bet with even one unarmed mugger for self-defense she would need a gun. I taught her to shoot and with pistols, the bigger the hole and the louder the boom they more she liked it. If she asked I would hand her any gun I own, but for her size hands I would urge her to take a snub-nosed .38, the hammerless .32 Mag that belonged to my mother or my compact 40 S&W pocket model.
