Thread Name: Who is packing heat this Xmas?
Subject: RE: Who is packing heat this Xmas?
Mick, are you talking about the posting I made after the postings by the GUESTs from Colorado Springs? If so, I posted that because it seemed obvious their postings were from the well-known faction there which is paranoid by all accounts which I've read from various sources or seen reported. And, I am not talking about teh Brady bunch or any other org. from the left, I am talking about news sources and my own research when working on trying to get a bias crimes law here in Wyoming.

The story I posted was from a well-respected newspaper and I don't believe it displayed any paranoia on my part of the writer's. I simply was using it for an example and wanted to honestly know what some of you thought about, as I indicated to Kendall.

Remember, please, I was raised with guns, target-shooting and knowing how to use one for protection. I still have my dad's old .22 single shot. Do I feel a need to have a gun? No. Do I believe we have a gun problem in this country? Yes. Do I have any answers? No, BUT I do think we need to do something to keep guns out of the hands of children and that includes boys like the ones in the story I posted. If that makes me paranoid, well then I guess I qualify for a room at the NYCFTTS.:-)

Once again, agreeing to disagree.

Thanks,

kat
