Specifically, “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid”. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. Bob Dylan did the soundtrack and had a small part in the film. A pretty decent movie overall.

Kris Kristofferson line: “Keep the change.”

Personally, I’m more accurate with my .45 pistol than with the shotgun. I need to practice more with the shotgun.

I don’t choose to be a victim, but, I can do a pretty
good job of protecting myself with out carrying a
pistol, and, my day to day job makes carrying a pistol
very impractical. I go to Government buildings routinely,
so, i can’t keep it with me, anyways, I don’t drive, I
use the subway, so, it’s not like i can leave it in the glove
box, and, frankly a pistol in the trunk isn’t very useful
for protection.

So Tim, Do you carry concealed on a routine basis?

When I am not carrying I will do things like speed, drink alcohol, j-walk… basically tons of minor infractions because I do not worry about the consequences and accept them.

When I am carrying concealed I pay attention to everything. Follow all of the rules. I am carrying a deadly weapon that has one purpose and that is to protect. I hope to god I never have to shoot anyone. I have invested thousands of dollars through classes, buying my firearm legally, and ammunition. Through firing thousands of rounds with my pistol I have become intimately familiar with it’s behavior. If it becomes necessary to protect, I will not hesitate, I will stop the threat.

Every time I read articles, discussions, comments concerning how horrible guns are I just meander over to google UK and take a look at their murders. They have just as many as the US using things like Knifes, hammers, cars, pipes, etc… I will people would stop being so damned blind and realize that humans kill each other by any means at their disposal. So my question is to those people like Jack.

Why do you choose to be a victim?

Or, does Jack Lee’s position on advocacy by folks “with no skin in the game” depend on what their positions are?

- featured prominently on Second City Cop; I’m sure SCC doesn’t mind my citing him here.

And probably has never actually held a shotgun.

You do know that if your shotgun has anything mroe restrictive than a cylinder bore, a load of dimes will blow it up?

I don’t have any hand-irons these days, I spend
too much time in DC, and I was never that good
a shot with a pistol anyways. If i need to protect
myself in close, a ball point pen does a pretty
decent job.

So that said, Rand, do you have a CCW or any
guns?
