    First mistake is stopping. Second mistake is sitting there while someone is breaking my window. My .357 is about 600 ft lbs of energy. The brush guard on my truck is about 15,000 ft lbs of energy.

    and YOU just flunked the final exam for Survival 101, speedbump.[B)]

    That's just crazy. Man can't let his guard down anytime, anywhere. Hoe the catch up with them soon.

    Peace

    Spasm, a lot more shootings in Wichita this year. They must be expanding their territory. Arm up and be careful out there.
    A country with uncontrolled borders is not a country, but an uncontrolled region.

    Pretty close to home. A lot of these * are com0ing from more urban areas, targeting smaller places, and a lot of them are from out of state. I have predicted for a long time that it was only a matter of time before they figured out that smaller towns were easier pickings, just like they did back in the '30's. They may just find themselves up against a small towner with an attitude, and a .45 if they aren't careful. "Ever vigilant" I'm afraid that h0this applies to every where these days.

    Here's to hopin those guys wind up buried in some field and never found.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    The "stopping" part should be AFTER you are armed.

    Now the doubters see why I carried a 9mm AND my 5.56 duty rifle on my trip thru KS to CO last week.

    That's the right attitude, Oakie. The best defense is a good offense.
