Be A Man. Lose The Gun.

[gamer_jim]

On the contrary I feel like more of a man when I carry. I know that with it I can provide the ultimate line of defense for my wife whom I think is one of my core duties as a husband to keep her safe.

That said, I just got done with a conversation over the internets about the "Violence Against Women" campaign run by the UN. I entered the argument saying more women would have less violence against them if they were armed. I was quickly called a racist redneck who was more about guns then teaching people to be civil. I tried a couple times trying to explain how 2 rounds of .45 ACP would do a better job of stopping violence then telling a someone about to commit violence to just be nice.

I don't get this line of thinking that we can just teach people to be nice and they will magically stop wanting to hurt others. A women with a gun is empowered as the strongest man, or group of men. Which would you rather want your wife to have: A good argument to persuade niceness or a gun?

Reminds me a line from a book by Joseph Wambaugh, "Lines and Shadows" that says something to the effect that people think they can reason with a psychopath just by showing them "how good I can be".

When my wife and I started living together she said no guns will be in the house. I did what any loving man with a set of balls would do...I got 3 guns.

Odd...just the other day she mentioned moving to VA so we could carry.

That girl in that ad just needs a real man to tell her to go to hell...she will change her tune.

Years ago my wife to be mentioned something about a no gun something or other. When she came down home and saw women carried. Well it took a bit, but my wife she prefers have carry her own.

Now that THAT'S settled, who's up for a lively discussion on musical theatre???

Quite!!

Mechanical Sargent & Greenleaf 6730. End of story.

But if you MUST go electronic, the LaGard basic with a 3000 series keypad is the way to go.

Safetech will concur on both points.

Absolutely!

But I'm good with an Amsec ESL10 also, for electronic. Although I prefer a mechanical lock on gun safes, for no other reason than reliability.

 

[sgt23preston]

Whose ad IS that???

I suppose she could always vomit on her attacker while her sensitive girly-man is cowering in the corner, fumbling to dial 9-1-1....

Her name was George before ObamaCare paid for her sex change operation...

I still have the same twenty year old combination lock and it still works perfectly. I've only had one repair made to it.

You would almost never see that kind of longevity out of an E-lock! (Lucky if you'd get half that, with any kind of regular use.)

A good mechanical lock, OTOH, if serviced even occasionally, could last 100 years under the right conditions.

So, the entire Army and Marine Corps are filled with pansies in their lib pinko world?!?!?

I would like to see the aftermath of a group of libs telling a group of Marines they are pansies because they use guns in their work!

Yeah, had some experience with the E-locks. I worked at a range that had one and the stupid thing would always malfunction. And as to my mechanical lock, I probably am in and out of the safe at least once a day. That's at least 7000 openings.

Unless you're the type who'd let your little head rule your big one ... Ditch The Biatch.

If you hooked up with her, the next thing ya know, you'd be campaigning for Hillary and picking up tampons for her on the way home from Pilates ...

OBTW ... That's my sensitive side showing.

First time I ever had to pick up "lady things", I stood in the isle until there was no one else there. Then, as soon as the last person left the isle, I quickly reached up and grabbed the box. Just as I did, five more boxes fell onto the floor.

By the time I picked them up and put them back on the shelf, I had a a sizable audience.

Isn't that the way it always goes? Having the checker call for a price check is fun as well.

I never had a problem picking those up for the wife. I figure she's going to have to pick up my diapers one day when I am crapping myself. It is the least I can do.

I couldn't in good conscience recommend the ESL 10. The failure rate in my experience, while not nearly as bad as others, is too high for me to be comfortable with.

The way I read the ad, it's not about firearms. It's promoting lesbianism.

You should have just told them that you were going to clean your shotgun's bore.

That's right sweetheart...a "real man" let's a piece of a$$ determine his likes, dislikes, values, rights and thoughts.


DUH.
