A gun is a great tool for everyday use. You can turn on your TV with it, use it in place of a drill, and wave it around to get attention. Point it at people and pull the trigger as a joke-it’s not loaded! At parties, you can load it, and shoot it in the air-instant confetti! ---

[/QUOTE] Wasn’t a national park, but Custer State Park in South Dakota. I stopped two Hawaiian teenagers before they got to the big bull they planned to pose on top of for their father. Having walked straight past a warning sign to do so. ---

[/QUOTE] If you’re out deer hunting, assume any movement _must_ be a deer and open fire immediately. Especially if you’re hunting with your children or friends.

Turn that 4.0 GPA in highschool into a partial scholarship to Harvard, borrow the remainder of the money, work your ass off for six years to get that MBA, get married immediately, start having babies immediately after that, and flush your entire life and ambitions down the fucking toilet.
