They actually do think we in the U.S. are like a wild west movie in regards to gun ownership. Fact.

Living in France, I admire your gun culture. But I am quite an exeption here. I think, most of my fellow citizen think you are just "crazy" regarding firearms (no offense intended: you can be what ever you want, they sure will respect it).... - The right to carry freely a firearm - "stand your ground" - Buy as much ammo and gun you can afford -.... They just cannot grab the idea! That is too much for them. |

bearcatter, Interesting. I think that defending oneself from attacking animal is still a serious matter not only in some parts of the USA but in other parts of the world. For example, I have heard that if you intend to go to Svedberg area (Norwegian) it is highly recommended to bear a rifle 308 Winchester or more for your own sake. |

There are four legged animals and two legged animals. Remember that.

When a car full of terrorists decided to shoot up a Draw Mohamed convention here in Dallas, they never made it in the door. I think one guard was shot in the ankle. When you read about a criminal murdering a bunch of people who are cowering helplessly here it is almost always in a city like San Bernardino where the government sides with the criminals and disarms their victims. I first shot this gun over 50 years ago and it protected my family several times from both two and four legged animals. I can't imagine what could convince me my family would be safer without it. ![]() |
