    Hey, what's wrong with the pitbulls?

    I would tell the man that I don't want to buy a knife and certainly not from a street vendor.
    I would also tell him that he is currently in front of camera and watched by my 10,000+ subscribers on Younow, and that this advertisement is totally free for him. :razz:

    Yeah. If someplace is too dangerous to go to without carrying a gun who would take their kids there?

    The Fair is a big deal and crawling with cops during Fair season. Everyone goes through metal detectors to get in. Only those with a license are allowed to carry. The danger is remote parking. By “kids” I mean like my 16 yo who is 6 ft tall and weighs 185 lb. I tried to talk my wife out of it, but she wanted to go. I was working.

    I have previously post the following experiences where I have encountered both with similar experiences,
    In the late 80’s walking alone in New Orleans from Louis Armstrong Park to the Quarter, I was accosted by a fellow the a knife wanting to rob me. I had a knife myself in the same posket I kept my wallet and I am an expert with one... reaching for my wallet, him expecting compliance and it appearing I was, I instead received my knife and had it at his throat before he could move. He was probably expecting the fright and compliance of a normal tourist and not me. I took his knife and his wallet.
    About a year ago, while cycling in the country while crossing a creek bridge, several feral dogs came from under the bridge and moved to attack. I dismounted, used bike as a shield and drew the small pistol I carry when cycling and shot and killed the two largest dogs nearest me. I cycled into town, reported the incident to the County Sheriff’s office where I learned of a recent attack on a little girl from a farm near the bridge. I guided a Deputies back to the location where they dispatched several more that were apparently reacting to protect newly birthed pups under the bridge. I have sometimes encountered dogs on my rides in the country, but they usually don’t exhibit actual attack profiles. Pretty sure if all I had was a knife, I’d ended up seriously injured or more.
    I don’t care how street savvy you are, and I am having grown up on the streets in Belfast, running with your feet or mouth won’t save you lightning strikes.

    Call 911 so the operator knows where to send the coroner...

    There are two different fairs in my state (MA) neither of which need metal detectors, at least according to people I know who have gone.

    Yes.

    Read my other posts. This thread is to show how weapons help, knives and guns help, and Liberals will be defenseless in a normal urban situation that can happen to anyone. And they have no answer to my question. At least not an answer that they want to write and show us all they're wrong.

    FFA kids from all over the state bring their livestock for the competitions. Some of the winners make big bucks. The car show has 95% of all cars and trucks available. The grounds completely surround the Cotton Bowl and several museums. There are tons of free shows and concerts. I've seen Kansas, The Beach Boys, and The Guess Who. There are all genres of music as well. But it's located in dilapidated South Dallas and crime is bad there the rest of the year.

    Ashton sold Ultra for $150k. Not bad for a 14 year old.

    Good point. We hang out in Boston too, near which my 6’4” 250 lb son lives. Unfair advantage perhaps, but he pretty much clears way for the rest of us.

    That's baloney. I'm 74 and have been in more danger in my life than 99.9999% of the population and I don't carry.

    Then such is the decision of yourself, and yourself exclusively. Do not mock, denigrate, or otherwise disparage those that do not decide to follow the same path of yourself.

    How did I mock anyone? In fact if anyone around here is getting mocked routinely it's those who think there should be some gun control.

    Ms. Colvin's last dispatch was like so many before it: a portrait of what happens when the bombs land, when luck runs out, when civilians end up in the crucible of conflict.

    That, cannot be substituted:

    I would think some would call that a childish photo.

    How's that for a non-childish photo then. 2A.

    Was there some point to this thread because frankly, I don't see one?

    I beleive the point was a somewhat passive aggressive attempt at mocking those who don’t carry.

    No, actually the point was to prove that guns are necessary and we can't live without them. We must rely on ourselves for our security, because sometimes we're alone.

    Hundreds of millions of people go their entire lives never needing a gun proving people CAN actually live without them.

    Which ultimately means nothing of relevance whatsoever.

    Sure it does. It refutes the post he was replying to.

    Then what is being stated on the part of yourself, is that because some individuals have not needed to make use of a firearm for their own defense, no individuals need to do such?
