Enjoy yourself. I will be in the sporting goods and hardware departments. They make a "target rich environment" for devious people like me.

"Devious" has two meanings here. In the hardware section, do you plan on getting a hammer put to your head, or administering the hammer?

not my idea of peace and quiet.


and i will never go camping w/out at least having my M-14 socom w/me. it kind of tips the balance if needed.
If you're talking camping, we're in total agreement. I would not dream of camping out in the woods unarmed. Or driving x-country, sleeping in my truck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. Or in a motel, god-knows-where.

I just don't find the need to be armed out in public in my city. I've never been remotely in a situation where a gun was needed, (other than the riots, and I was armed then). I think that there is a better chance of being struck by lightning 3 times in one day and surviving than needing a gun out in public, statistically speaking. It would be more logical to carry a fire extinguisher on my back at all times.

U must not know me very well!

Hopefully will never have a hammer to the head. Would be glad to toss a few in the direction of anyone trying to harm me or others.

Something about getting hit in the head with a three pack of fresh skiivies that just does not seem threatening!

Now if they were used....
