Living with both dogs and a parrot, a parrot is much scarier.

Or a goose. A determined goose can chase anyone away.

Hi Cut-Throat. Obviously I don't agree with you about a
gun's lack of offering the owner protection. But, assuming this
was actually correct, I still want the option.
BTW, I can't put my hands on the stats just now, but
accidental injury in the home by firearms is a statistical
zero. You are more likely to be afflicted by slipping on the ice or bad potato salad. I'm not kidding.

If you are talking about husbands shooting their wives,
sometimes they just won't listen

Gun control is getting all rounds in the 10 ring.

Gun onwership is good as long as the owners are properly trained in their use/saftey. Unfortunately most people don't have a clue about guns.

I can't wait to get back to country living. I got tired of the city moving in on us so me and the wife moved to the city thinking it won't change much. I hate traffic. I hate not seeing stars. I hate noise. I hate hearing my neighbor burp. I WANT SPACE!!! Only 13 more years to go unitl retirement.

"most people don't have a clue about guns" That gives
those of us who are armed the upper hand.

I thought that was "Peace through superior firepower".

Nords-- That's the old theory, the new one is "Peace through accurate firepower."

As a former weapons officer, I think that's almost as funny as "shock & awe".

Yesterday I drove in toward Chicago for a lunch date
(Did you miss me?

) I will not go into the city itself for any
reason. Ever since I was a young man I have said
that you could not get far enough "out" to suit me.
I feel more that way now than ever before.

Anyway, similar real estate commands a huge premium
(over where I live) for similar property, as you move toward the city. Also, I noticed driving in
that the gas got progressively more expensive, and peaked at about .13/gallon over what I paid before I
started out. When I arrived, I paid $7.00 for a glass
of "house" Chardonnay (average in restaurants where I live would be $3.50). Okay, so it's only a little here and a little there................but, as Everitt Dirksen once said
"a billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you're
talking real money
