All based on the ridiculously flawed assumption that carrying a gun makes you safer.

It does in a minority of situations, but the truth is clearly backed by statistics.

1. Civilians who carry guns are far more likely to die by gun than people who don't.
2. Civilians who carry guns are around 20 times more likely to kill or grievously injure innocents than those who don't.

Idiots who carry guns as civilians are a danger to themselves and others.



And idiots who don't are victims waiting to happen.

My old grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life
when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's
when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.'

I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the
world.

I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.

I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating
myself for failing to be prepared.

I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and
not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a
cowboy.

I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the
ones they love.

I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am
inadequate.

I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it
meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate
the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to
take an ass whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)

If all you straight people would stop having gay kids, we wouldn't need this post.

Sarge, I think your politics suck but I also server 26 years active duty and I'm working on my 10th as an Army civ, to protect the right to have your own opinions. Thanks for the post!

Try the Magic Lantern Guides. Most books stores or Amazon should have them. I bought one for my K10D, gives a much better explanation of the options and working of your camera.

Flip the coin. While it's in the air, you'll know which way you hope it lands.

PS: Enjoy the flash!

Been using a Pentax since about '91. Have a K10D now and love it. I agree, there's not much talk about Pentax but almost everything discussed can be converted over to our cameras. This is a great site to learn and become a better photographer, profresional or for your pleasure.

You might try to sharpen it a bit, but I think it look pretty good as is.

Nice landscape...where is this?


Olympia, WA. Because of the excess rain and snow, we get some great scenery.
