Because you never know when you'll run into a problem that can only be solved by cutting things.

[quote="Unknown_Sniper":1e800]my guess would be to cut things, but ya know, I could be wrong. oOo:[/quote:1e800]

yeah, cutting things with scissors is a pretty common day to day activity.

Just ask the EMOs

Those are Klein electrician scissors. I use them every day while working on telephone systems. Lots of wires to cut. They also have notches on one side so I can strip the insulation off wire.


I can cut a penny in half with them.

Scirrors? You velly velly good at talking chinese eek:

Tommy absolutely doesnt leave the house unless he has his emory board.

I've been carrying a firearm since '91 and recently in the past few years, a knife. I don't want to be one of those sorry asses who places their life in some guys hands who decides to rob the eatery you're in. At least this way, i have the upper hand since i'm armed and the thug doesn't know it. The news is filled with victims of violence....i don't plan on being one of them. And just so everyone here understands, it's my 2nd Amendment right to bear arms an an American citizen.

Thats sweet.

do you roll with the 50 cent licensed flak jacket to. I'm not gonna guess on what areas you guys live in, etc I just know that the areas I go to dont need an ammo belt.

Nyck, most severe violent crimes against mulitple people occur in "good areas" just as you stated. Some skell isn't gonna rob the local kentucky fried chicken knowing there may be armed people inside. He'll just go to your town and victimize you knowing you feel safe in your community thereby not arming yourself. I live in a really nice area but there is a rash of home invasions and conveinence store robberies close by in other nice areas. The guys doing all this don't live in the areas they're hitting. Nice communities make easy targets. Don't walk the earth with blinders on.

but why? so you can be the hero? so you can possibly start a shootout risking others lives because you thought you should do the right thing simply because you're armed? it doesn't make sense to me. maybe in stackem's case but that's all, and even then i don't really approve. if anything i only see it as a safety blanket, it just makes you feel safe and powerful but when it comes time to use it it's just going to escalade things and people will get hurt. if you really want to do your part, go to police academy or something.

I dont know where you live so you cant compare, but as you can see...yes it can happen. But not something I worry about

anyway Im off to the store for a bit...lemme grab my tek 9

Anti, i can respect your feelings but before you blast me, think 1st. You really don't know me or my life experiences. You have no idea if i have a military background or a law enforcement background. As i'm sure you are aware, i was awoken at 2:30am this past fall by 3 kids vandalizing my car. Did i shoot them? No, just detained them for the responding cops.

And since you don't know me, let me say i'd never try to be a "hero" and/or risk others. Having a gun or knife evens the teams for me. If i'm reduced to no other choice, i'm either cutting or shooting my way out, it's that simple. If some guys wanna rob a place i'm in and it's just that, a robbery, then i'll be a good witness. I'm not going to confront them. And, as a matter of fact, i have a "throw wallet" for just that. (if you don't know what a throw wallet is, just ask a cop, he'll tell you) They'll get my throw wallet with some money in it but thats it. If they get a lil' buck nutty and start to shoot up the place, then i'm forced to do whatever it takes to get out alive.

Say what you will but never judge someone you don't know.....and you don't know me.

that's a cool site.

I live in a really nice neighborhood, http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo. ... ndex=25438 But I don't think the neighborhood you live in can make the difference. I know suburbs aren't gonna be nearly as dangerous as cities and what not, but what I'm saying is, if you live in a nice neighborhood that is close to a city or a bad neighborhood, crime can still affect you either when you commute their for work, entertainment, etc, or if the crime comes to you like arkan said, because "good communities" are good targets. I think you're in more danger in some areas, but I think there is always danger of crimes being committed anywhere, you're never gonna be able to say you are absolutely safe to the point where you know you'll never need protection.

by the two posts you made saying "you cant stop a robbery with your ipod" and now the 2nd one above mine it just seemed like you had this mentality of using your gun to become the hero. i can understand if you're caught in a position where you must resort to using your weapon, but any other cases would just be inane to me. i may be wrong to have assumed but your comments in the beggining lead me down that path so you can stop playing that you dont know me card.

i live in a good neighborhood, but we also border the bronx, mt. Vernon* and New Rochelle*

*have large ghettoes


and suprisingly enough, we dont have a lot of crimes

my town is .82 sq miles rofl

http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo. ... ndex=58982

wow... I didnt know I lived in such a nice neighborhood...

ok anti, perhaps you're right about my comments...sorry for the confusion. All i know is, i've been armed with either a knife or firearm since '91 and never had to use either. I've been in a few situations but none warranted the use of either weapon. Me carrying a knife and/or gun is like putting on a pair of sneakers...it's natural for me. I just want to have an opportunity to live should something bad go down, and thats it. Some people carry a cell phone in case their car breaks down...not very likely in a brand new car but possible. I feel the same way about getting caught up in a bad situation....not likely but possible.

"Anytime you step outside your front door, you're stepping in danger"
(can be anything from a car wreck, robbery, assault, dog bite...etc) just don't be blind to it.

maybe there is a few outrageously rich people there that bumps up the average income

[quote="Sgt. Paine":01021]maybe there is a few outrageously rich people there that bumps up the average income[/quote:01021]

more than a few. we live in the smallest house. everyone else around us lives in mansions. we live in what used to be an old horse stable that we fixed up and is now worth 1 mil.

ya right, this is like one of my longest threads, in a long time. iRock rock:

You should sell up and use that $1 million to buy crack cocaine and hookers.

[quote="Mr.Buttocks":a2109]You should sell up and use that $1 million to buy crack cocaine and hookers.[/quote:a2109]

id sell it and buy a flat. then spend it on a really nice home entertainment center.

I couldn't find Marquette Park on that website, I guess its just part of Chicago but we all call it Marquette park because the park is near buy (its the Central Park equivalent of New York City - high crime area).

[quote=Forte]id sell it and buy a flat. then spend it on a really nice home entertainment center.[/quote:31c7d]

My parents 7 years ago bought this house for 600k, now i bet from seeing that the small houses in my town are selling for 1.2 mil, i bet we could sell this close to 1.6mil.

After we do that, they buy me a nice car. and we call it a day.

Don't you have a small child.. and you carry around a gun with you, doesnt make sense to me.

yup im saving the sucker for new years dance:

SHIT double past guv/

[quote=Forte]id sell it and buy a flat. then spend it on a really nice home entertainment center.[/quote:08df2]

it's the same way here in Northern Virginia, you buy a house for $500k, in four years it's over a million. McLean, Vienna, Falls Church, all those places have really rich people and the area is booming in the housing markets, and the public schools in NoVA are some of (if not) the best in the country. I drove down this one road near DC, but it's in McLean and saw the Prince of some Arab country's house, it was huge, had a giant wall and gate, it looked like it was out of the movies, and no doubt it cost at least $3 mil.

I have no idea if you're referring to me but i don't see your logic. What does having a kid have to do with anything? You mean parents of kids should turn in their firearms because it doesn't make sense??

I'm lost, please explain.

This thread turned fucking retarded quick enough. oOo:

not really. the topic lasted pretty long, and then got into some good debates/sovereign conversations that are actually OF something, not just randomness. its not some flamefest comprised of single sentence wars, i.e. "you're fat" "fuck you -1". i consider it a damn good thread.

True, it has remained civil and flame free. People are entitled to their opinions whether you agree with them or not.

The thread was originally what do you carry with you, not discuss the moral obligations of carrying a sidearm. Not entirely suprising that some people do carry pistols about with them so i expected the debate to break out at some point anyway.

hake: sorry gerv, next time ill just turn things into a flamewar on duffy or comatose.

I also carry a gerv with me, in a bag
