You don't want to test them, there is a fine line between being brave and stupid. Remember, your items can be replaced, you yourself on the other hand can't be replaced.

I sincerely hope I never have to put it to use.

But in a critical situation, I wouldn't hesitate.
Im all for concealed carry and would never tell someone not to do it. However, do you think you could draw and fire before someone who has his pistol pointed at you pulls the trigger?

What relevance does this have to your rant about credit card call centers? Sounds like you had 2 Middle East tours of duty too many. You sound stressed, OP. Is your life really worth fighting a guy over the $50 or $100 in your wallet? Do you have a wife? Kids? Maybe you should ask them your OP question.

Never served, have you? Didn't think so.

And to answer your question, nothing. Two different responses to two entirely different posts. Why you think one is supposed to have to do with the other is beyond me.

You know, you can stand behind our troops or you can get your ass in front of them. I've seen my men develop that for real to protect your "right" to be a spoiled brat ingrate.

I'm working with my local Vet Admin as they build a new hospital in the area and design treatment programs for returning vets, to help them include effective treatments. What are you doing, besides going on the internet and mouthing off about shooting people?

You want to compare what I volunteered for to what you did? I'm sure they'd be thrilled to know you are using their condition as an insult.

Not that I believe you are actually doing this based on your previous posts.

You interpreted it as an insult. That's not at all how it was intended. Did you read the criteria for threads in the "Great Debates" subforum before starting your thread?
