Yep. The Marines teach their recruits the right way to use them.
They have 3 different training days with them.
For someone to say that the worst that can happen when being hit with
one is a concussion (and only when a helmet is not worn) shows total
ignorance on their part.
Why does teaching your children to kill hold such wonderful fascination for
you? The whole country seems infected by this bug. Everyone should visit
a gun show.

I know this post isn't addressed to me, but even though I have a
collection of over 50 fire arms, I never did have a wonderful
fascination to teach to my children to kill.


But I did take real joy in teaching them to get their lazy ass's out
of bed and get jobs.


I don't think Larry's comment was directed towards gun owners, but those
who take pride in the fact that their kids can beat up the "elderly",
and thinking a DI would beat up Harry because he made a snide comment.- Hide quoted text -

I understand that, reggie, but I was making a point that working is
directing useful energy. "beating up" elderly or whomever is not...
