- People who don’t shoot have no idea how insulting it is when they jokingly say “I don’t want to piss you off. You own/shoot/collect guns, and I don’t want you to shoot me.” Yeah, I’m a big guy with a loud voice. Yes, I have been known to have a temper. But you’d be surprised how calm and dispassionate, even forgiving, I can be when I’m armed.
- If you were waiting for an engraved invitation to get involved and contact your congresspeople, this is pretty much it.
- Had a talk with a co-worker about the new anti-gun legislation. He had no idea that the shotgun he inherited from his father might fall under the classification of “assault weapon”, and that if it does, and the anti-gun bills pass, he wouldn’t be able to pass it on to his daughter when the time comes. I won’t say I made a convert, but I did get him to realize just how asinine gun control laws are.
- He really didn’t care for the New Jersey law that turns a .22 with a tube magazine into an assault weapon, and when I tried to explain “constructive intent” to him and how that had been applied under current gun law, he really got flabbergasted.
- Two questions I’ve asked tonight: “What are you barking about?” And “Why is the kitchen floor sticky?”. I don’t have satisfactory answers to either question.
- Irish Woman and I are such hopeless romantics. Our date tonight was to go to the hardware store to buy a 90 degree attachment for my drill and acquiring drive-through burritos. I splurged on her and bought her a large soda to go with her dinner.
- I can’t wait until Valentine’s Day. We plan on going grocery shopping and getting fried chicken.
- The term “Stockholm Syndrome” should never be used when discussing a relationship.
- I think that if a woman comes into a room, wraps her ice-like tentacles around her warm husband, and holds on just long enough to sap all the warmth from his soul, then she ought to be treated just like any other predator.

/ January 25, 2013Ever notice how those people who say they don’t want to make you mad are very willing to make jokes, cut you down, insult you, argue with you, tell you how wrong you are?
Yeah, I’ve noticed it also. I find it ironic that they and gun banners often go out of their way to provide provocation knowing we won’t respond with anything more then words.
And that icy tentacle/predator thing?
Just consider that you don’t sleep in the same bed with other predators. Might change how you consider treating her.

/ January 25, 2013I think in most cases it’s just gentle teasing, but to me it’s the same thing as saying “I don’t want you to be around my wife, because you might lose it and rape her.”.

/ January 26, 2013You know, I totally agree (about “don’t want to make you mad you have guns), with one exception. My FIL hunts, so hubby grew up with guns in the house and knowing how to use them, safely. The first time my future FIL saw me shoot, he very solomnly turned to my future husband and informed him to never “make her mad when there’s a gun in the house”. I have to admit that that one amused me to no end…..
