I do a lot of wild crazy [censored], but one rule I have in my life is "Don't be friends with people who carry guns."


[/ QUOTE ]

I suppose that means that Zeno, HDPM and I should scratch you off our "potential friends list".

[/ QUOTE ]

I guess I should have said "people who carry guns, get drunk, and do stupid [censored] with them"

I have no problem with responsible concealed carry.

Guns put away safely in one's domicile are fine. There's no such thing as "responsible concealed carry".

Bullshit. But this isn't an appropriate thread to have this discussion.

Jules, do you see a sign outside my house that says, Dead Nigga Storage?

I do not understand this comment, especially coming from you. Can you please explain to me what you meant?

Edit: I know this is a movie reference but I just think this is inapropriate

Who hijacked Blarg's account? Instead of a long essay on how sad these things are, we get a smart-ass, one-line movie reference?

Maybe he's still miffed about mslif dissing him?

Don't we all have stories like this?

People we know, not necessarily that close, who die unexpectedly, in a freakish or just plain silly way.

I know I have stories like these. It is shocking when you first hear about it, but then you begin to realize that these kind of things happen all the time.

That's where a lot of the impact sometimes comes in, especially if you have a relatively violence-free life. You can still be reminded suddenly how fragile things really are, and that bad things not only do happen, but sometimes they happen in your little corner of the world, and they could probably just as easily be happening to you. Life can seem really secure, but the foundation is shakier than it looks.

A few people I've worked with have wound up in prison. Many have gotten cancer, once about five of them within the space of less then two months! A young guy I worked with was shot and killed a while back in a drive-by; nobody knows why, since he wasn't a gangbanger and they didn't steal anything. In two places I've worked, women have been raped in the parking garages.

It's really like roulette. There may be a whole lot of numbers, but that doesn't mean yours won't come up. There's an uncomfortable amount of luck involved.

On a tangentially related note, my sister went to school with this kid: More murders
