Using their brain would lead many people to believe that owning a tool to enable them to better protect themselves and their families is a good idea.

How is this any guarantee that the next person won't have a gun? What will you do if more than one person breaks in next time?

Self confidence is a good thing. Deluding yourself into believing you can handle anyone that comes through your door with the intent to do you harm using nothing other than the tools you were born with is foolhardy.

I try to understand your mentality...

You suggest that you can overpower without a gun an armed intruder..?

Obviously you watched too many Steven Seagal movies...

I've suggested that I've already done so. You don't know what you're doing, maybe?

Wasn't that while working as a counter person at a subway restaurant, or so you claimed?

Whatever you say. Far be it from me to interrupt your fantasy of being a walking talking lethal weapon with any further attempt at injecting reality.

Nope, broke into my house. Outweighed me by 100 pounds. I've talked about this a number of times.

Refusing to serve cops because they carry guns, working "overnight" so you can avoid walking by people and getting into fights, having the ability to beat anyone in a fight even if they're armed, all while working at subway...sorry, I'm not buying it...

TKramar · 09-19-2010, 05:40 PM

What does not serving cops have to do with being a "ninja", as you like to term it? I don't have to serve them, and they can't force me to do so.

I have gotten into a number of fights. I've won those fights. What's your issue with that?

I worked at Subway from 1999-2001. I've also worked a number of other places. It was rare for me to keep a job for more than a year...partly because I've gotten into it with management. So have fun with that.
