I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoroku_Yamamoto's_sleeping_giant_quote

Close Enough?

NO! i totally disagree. Martial law? not no but HELL NO! if we think it is bad now just wait till that happens! right now it is a war of words. Please GOD do not let us escalate!

HMMM! methinks a post has been hidden! did big/azz hole get in hot water?

Getting your AZZ wuped by Granny is bad enough!

Vente Pike 2 equals, no stopper! (it gets stuck in my throat when i chug it down and is a wooly booger to get out!)

LOL! yes the Chic Sticks must be counted also!

i was raised in the holy rollers, Glad Tidings assembly of god. a proud and fiery religion. at least in my experience. a very abbreviated story of my journey was to put away the hubris that the above quote says to me. (this is not a swipe at you learning all i can) different strokes..... who am i to approach the son of man? the priest himself does not absolve me of me sins (or perhaps he does) but the authority passed down to him by Peter the vicar of Christ given to him by Christ himself. in a lot of ways the fundamentalist statement, God said it i believe it that settles it is true wisdom AND acceptance. my life is not dedicated to the study of Christ only. (perhaps it should be) i must live in the world but i do not need to be OF the world. Catholicism gives me a framework of steps to submerge self and allow Christ first. i submit to his authority. if any of you knew me as LGD does you would call me a hypocrite. i am FAR from perfect. i am fortunate enough to be forgiven.

But.. you DID stand and deliver! 👏

You

i think you need another child. one each knee and one on your lap!

crickets

she chose all hallows eve. i guess their really are witches!

LOL! tell us what you REALLY think sir!

B/A?

By Shawn Vincent |October 16th, 2019 For several years now, I’ve been writing about self-defense for CCW Safe, and it’s occurred to me that you probably have no idea who I am or why I am qualified to venture opinions about self-defense. So here it is: I’m a litigation consultant. I work with lawyers on high-profile cases, and I help them explain complicated legal concepts to juries and to the public. It’s an amazing job. In 2012, through a series of extraordinary circumstances, I met Don West while working on the Zimmerman case. Don West is now National Trial Counsel for CCW Safe. As a CCW Safe member, should you ever be involved in a self-defense shooting, chances are Don will be a critical part of your legal defense. Don is one of the most thoughtful, deliberate, and hard-nosed criminal defense attorneys I’ve ever met. If I’m ever in trouble with the law, I want Don West on my side. After the verdict, I had the unique opportunity to consult on other high-profile self-defense cases. I got to help pick juries. For a while, I worked with an indigent defense organization as a jury consultant on murder cases, most of which involved self-defense claims. During that time, I was also asked to research and provide commentary on other self-defense cases that fell under the national spotlight. As time passed, Don and I spent more time together, giving presentations at legal conferences, sometimes traveling together, sharing countless meals. Often we’d talk about the details surrounding self-defense cases in the headlines. Before long, he recommended me to Mike Darter and Stan Campbell, founders of CCW Safe; he said I was someone who could help communicate the complicated legal issues surrounding self-defense cases. I embraced the opportunity because after all the research I had done, after all the cases I studied, and watched, and wrote about -- after all the cases I consulted on, I realized that most people, including most of the defendants in self-defense cases, have some mistaken notions about when deadly force is legally justified. I realized that I myself once had mistaken notions about what the law allowed, and as I watched some decent citizens face relentless prosecutions for mistakes made in otherwise justifiable shootings, I realized how easily it could be me sitting in the defendant’s chair. I support the Second Amendment, and I absolutely believe in the right to self-defense. Based on my experience, however, I also tend to be very cautious about when I feel lethal force is justified, and I’m even more cautious about when I think it is absolutely necessary. Here’s why: I don’t want to see you get prosecuted for a self-defense shooting. The window of justification for self-defense homicide is precariously narrow. I’ve explored cases where the victim of a robbery has been convicted of murder for defending himself with deadly force. I’ve written about homeowners who have been sentenced to prison for killing an invader. These cases often involve the shooter getting carried away, or they involve tragic misperceptions about a critical factor -- but they do happen, and they happen all-to-often. The terrifying lesson is how easy it is for otherwise good, law-abiding people to make these critical mistakes in the split-second chaos of a self-defense scenario. Self-defense laws are designed to give you discretion to use deadly force when you are in imminent peril of death or great bodily harm. I urge you to use your discretion wisely. I want you to be safe. I want you to make informed decisions when you carry, and I want you to have the benefit of the lessons I’ve learned from the tragic mistakes of others. The opinions I venture and the conclusions I draw in the articles I write for CCW Safe are my personal views, not necessarily the views of CCW Safe. CCW Safe allows third-party voices to contribute to the conversation about self-defense from the informed perspective of their own disciplines. I feel these articles are meant to be food for thought. Based upon my professional experience, I’ll often stress deescalation and avoidance when I explore self-defense scenarios. I do it because I don’t want you to bear the burden of a self-defense shooting that was avoidable. I don’t want you to face a prosecution for making a mistake in what would have otherwise been a justifiable shooting. https://ccwsafe.com/blog/31156

Yes i agree! check out the whitewalls on the missile carriers!
