3 Gunman in Castleton Mall...

[younggun21]

Were you working yesterday, at about 6 oclock? My brother and I stopped in, but I wasn't sure if it was you or not. There was a heavy set guy, and another guy working.

Yup, I was the "other guy" The scrawny one with short dark hair. Did you stop and talk to us? I'm trying to remember around that time.. most of yesterday is a blur... 10.5 hours of nutty kids and their parents (no offense Scutter, your daughter was an angel) with no break and it's hard to remember... but yeah it was me... I'm there all day today too... just like the last 3...

in prison or out / adult population
75,000 / 4,500,000 = 1.6%

vs

Licenses revoked / licensed individuals
2518 / 279281 = .9%

good number to memorize for those sometimes dificult convorsations with folks who think having a gun means you are a criminal...

Just thought I would give a congratulations to Scutter01 whose daughter made it to the top of the rock wall today... forcing her dad to buy her a t-shirt

There may have been a gunman there at the time, too! Heavens!

No, we didn't stop by. I wasn't sure if that was you or not. I told my brother to walk by with his shirt pulled tight making a more than obvious print. I'm sure it would have caught your attention.

My package prints whether my shirt is tight or not.

Feel free to stop any time if I'm not right there i may be around somewhere... the other staff at the wall are "friendlies" so no worries... I have tried to get the two of them to join here... I think they keep losing the web adress when I write it down... but just ask if Kyle... (yes i finally used my name now you'll all stalk and kill me because I gave out info on the net)... is working.

Here are some stats you can have fun firing back at them.

General Death Rates

Cause Number
Heart disease 710,760
Cancer 553,091
Stroke (cerebrovascular disease) 167,661
Chronic lower respiratory diseases 122,009
Doctor's negligence 98,329
Influenza and pneumonia 65,313
Motor-vehicle 43,354
Suicides (all kinds, including firearms) 29,350

Firearms (Total)* 28,163
Suicides 16,586
Homicides 10,801
Accidents 776

Accidents (six causes)
Falls 13,322
Poison (solid, liquid) 12,757
Choking on food or other object 4,313
Drowning 3,402
Fires, flames 3,377
Firearms 776

Homicides (all instruments) 16,765


So if my math is right, 5964 Homicides a year were committed that did not use firearms. 12764 Suicides did not involve firearms.

Except for the figure on doctor's negligence, the above information is for 2000 and is taken from National Safety Council, Injury Facts: 2003 Edition

Good job!

I always thought that everyone should have a gun. There'd be a lot less violence.

Make all women apply for their LTCH...bet you'd see a lot less violent crime against women.

This woman agrees!

 

[esigler]

I also think if she files a restraining order, and he comes within twenty feet it should be open season!

But...but...but...There's a SIGN! It says "no firearms"! I'm afraid I just can't believe that someone would disobey a sign.


/tempted to go to "Stick's" today...

I carry a Glock 20 with a Galco holster and when I am wearing a under shirt and over shirt - it is invisible - and comfortable.

Every law abiding citizen carrying would essentially turn everyone into response force elements - which would stop crime.

Unfortunately too many people are uneducated about gun laws.

"Hey look at the new AK-47 I just bought".

Response: "Is that legal? How much did it cost? Where did you get it?"

The media has bastardized all assortments of guns it's terrible. The normal persons response is just like the little drones in Grand Theft Auto when they see you (the character) with a gun. They put their arms up in the air and run around like idiots going "AHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAAAA".

We need to educate the public. But it will be hard to do.

You're right. Most folks are afraid of guns. Most folks are afraid of the unknown. Myself included. Guns are very intimidating to people who don't know anything about them. I wouldn't have dreamt of having a gun in my house... until I met my husband (thank GOD!) He taught me the way of the gun gods and now I am converted. I'm a pretty darn good shot too!

I can't wait to get my permit and start carrying. Of course, I have to go buy a handgun first. I suppose I could carry my 12 guage but I'd have to get a bigger purse!

Spasmo felt the same way until she started taking martial arts. Then it just became another tool.

They taught her how to swing a huge purse?
