I’m armed when I go to the movies. I pity the moviegoers who are unarmed. 
I thought I was a gun/self defense nut!
Seriously there are people who don’t like going out unarmed?! Look leave the second amendment argument aside, all that politics crap. You really feel unsafe going out without a firearm?
I’m certainly not above breaking stupid laws about self defense, I sent my wife pepper spray and her family members, I carry it myself against the law. I’ve had to use it ONCE to clear a path to flee a car trapped in a riot/robbery roadblock where people were dousing drivers in gasoline and threatening to light them and beating and robbing them. A gun would have been unneeded in my opinion.
Going out unarmed? And you call yourself a gun nut.
I used to work with a guy who had guns everywhere. I mean everywhere. He was describing to me the ingenuous ways he hid guns around his house in case he needed them (while making it clear that he wasn’t telling me all his hiding places so I shouldn’t get any ideas). I jokingly asked him what he’d do if somebody attacked him while he was in the shower.
No problem. He quite seriously explained how he had built a shelf in his shower up above the shower head so he could keep a gun there while he was showering.
I pity people who must unwittingly share a movie theater with armed patrons.
I think it would work best in theaters if only people in, say, even numbered seats have arms. Or if everyone only had right arms, which has the additional benefit of knowing which cup-holder is yours.
Oh and Wawra has learned nothing and doesn’t regret his letter.[

Yes, how DARE they talk to him without being “welcome” to talk to him.
I’m terribly curious as to what he thinks the appropriate way to initiate a conversion involves.
The procedure is to communicate with steely eyesrather than with words, and if the steely eyes fail, then shoot.
I cannot be in a moving car unless I have my seatbelt buckled; if I’m not wearing a seatbelt I feel *very *vulnerable. And I cannot sleep in a house if there are no smoke alarms.
By the same token, I ***hate ***being in public when I’m unarmed.
“Good morning, Sir!”
“Hello, my name is Bob”
Things along those lines.
Maybe Levy, AR or some sections of Memphis.
Time to get counselling for that problem.
Eh hem - we have such laws in parts of the United States, too. A great many people people with concealed carry permits live in those states; many of these people are quite comfortable without hand-guns on their persons.
Did you see ducati’s post?
A. Stop right there - you started spouting off about guns before you understood the situation; that’s the kind of thing that makes people nervous about gun owners in general, and concealed carry in particular.
B. You can quibble all you want, but you essentially played with your gun. Just because someone did something you did not expect them to.
Are you trying to get more restrictive gun laws passed?
Truth. I hate knowing my guns are anywhere but safely secured.
Now I want to move to Canada.
Sounds to me like he is a gun nut who hasn’t been as upset at having something taken away since his mummy took his blankey away. He was just itching for something to happen to him in Canada so he could say “toldja so mummy, it isn’t safe out there without my blankey to protect me” but disappointingly the best he could come up with was a couple of guys who spoke to him in a friendly way without authorisation. So he had to go with that rather than admit that nothing bad had happened to him despite his total lack of his widdle blankey.
It also reminds me of the great Derek and Clive sketch known as “This bloke came up to me”. The first part isn’t so relevant, but listen from about 1.55. Clearly the two guys in the park were being “provocative fuckers”. Warning, following link has appalling language that, as Parker and Stone would say, should not be listened to by anybody:
I almost never carry off duty and I don’t fell scared. I bet New Jersey is a bit more dangerous than where some live but I’m willing to take my chances.
I admittedly don’t have any stats handy but I suspect that auto accidents and house fires are both far more likely than needing to defend yourself with a gun in public.
Someone like that is dangerous. He’s obviously paranoid and distrustful of everyone around him. He’s exactly the type to shoot an innocent person who mentions stampedes… or looks at him wrong… or sneezes to loud… or dares to walk on the same side of the street as him.
I really, really don’t like people sneezing around me…
You know, I forgot - I only go into Nosehill Park armed - with pepper spray for dogs, since there is a big problem in my neighbourhood with dog owners not understanding how to control their dogs. He could have armed himself with dog spray too - I was able to buy mine at the local Bass Brothers shop with no problems.
I’m quite honestly sorry I posted this, as it’s become an American-bashing thing. I’ve met like two thousand Americans and never knew any to carry a gun. My best bud lives in the States and has never in his life owned a gun, nor has his wife, nor would it ever occur to them. Seriously, it’s a nice place. It’s all multicultural and diverse and the people are friendly and whatnot. Can we get back to making fun of the guy from Kalamazoo?
