Others read it and came claiming I called members pathetic, which is not possibly a correct interpretation given the simple and unambiguous sentence I wrote. Comprehension is a problem in this country. As I make clear to my kids, calling an action they may do “foolish” or “dumb,” is not even remotely the same as calling them foolish or dumb. I find it distressing that adults confuse the difference. As well, maybe some read the word “pathetic,” but have no sense of its authentic definition, instead thinking it a personal insult, akin to calling another a “loser!” pa·thet·ic pəˈTHedik/ adjective adjective: pathetic 1. 1. arousing pity, especially through vulnerability or sadness. "she looked so pathetic that I bent down to comfort her" synonyms: pitiful, pitiable, piteous, moving, touching, poignant, plaintive, distressing, upsetting, heartbreaking, heart-rending, harrowing, wretched, forlorn "a pathetic groan" Cheers, - Patrick From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of That One Guy /sarcasm Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2015 2:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] WAY OT: Concealed Carry handguns - which to buy and why Why am I getting left out? I have no doubt the majority of people would not perform as heroically as they anticipate they would. But better to fail than be a victim. With that, however should come a great deal of responsibility, first and foremost, you are responsible for your own actions. If you try to be a hero, and you shoot a bystander, be prepared for the consequence. If you try to be a hero, and you are shot by a responding professional, that is also a consequence of being a shooter in an active shooter situation. I would venture a guess there are alot of shootings that happen where a CCW holder was present that you dont hear about because when push came to shove, they stayed holstered and fled, as it should be. But once again, better to have the option to defend and choose not to use it than to have no option aside from being a victim. The US has too many vague interpretations of freedom, that is why it is so dangerous here. You could arm every person with a howitzer and a sword, it would be no more dangerous. Our criminals are entitled punks. They know that our prison systems are not gulags or work camps, The expenditures from our correctional systems on entertainment alone is astounding, and we no longer offer reform or re-education, our sentencing guidelines are such that it is a better gamble to shoot first than leave witnesses. We have an abused welfare system that has become a generational lifestyle and are not allowed to empower those who live in it for fear of repercussions of some form of discrimination. We have systems in place to specifically train those most at risk for criminality to hate those who succeed as being thieves of entitlements. Those at risk are further chained by inherent beliefs within their communities that trying to change for the better is selling out from what is real. Then, we have the lunatics, whos actions are treated as common, when in reality they are so few and far between they barely even account for any measurable component of the criminality in this country. Lunatics, you truly can do little for, whether it be lunacy in ones religion or political beliefs, or just fucking nuts, they will do what they do when they do it without any warning that doesnt require hindsight. Mass shootings should be the least of anyone's concern. We have yet to have a mass shooting in the country that beats the average week in our major cities. Whether something is listed as terrorism, mental illness, or a hate crime is what our country focuses on, not what the underlying issue is that brings it out, criminality. Between the overbearing reach of our federal, state and local government into our personal lives and the lack of any actual meaningful approach to limit, hinder, or avoid criminality in the United States, there really is no limit to the need for bigger, better, faster, more firepower among the general population. Because at the end of the day the United State is a selfish nation, and no matter how much cuckolding to the government we portray, or communal love for our fellow man we present, it is in reality every man for himself here, and dont let anyone ever fool you about that. So really, given what the United States really is, and not what we present, it is irresponsible to not be prepared. But in retrospect I see what your original statement was, and you are correct, it is, in fact pathetic that this conversation needs to take place. We are not a civil society, its pathetic we are arrogant enough to kid ourselves about that.

It doesn't have a safety, but I don't carry it with a round chambered. I'm in a pretty rural farming area, and there are a lot of migrant workers. With that has brought more burglary type of crime. The standard to do is go knock on all the doors. If nobody answers, they break in. My office is in the front of my house, and I have had this encounter 4 times since living there about 9 years. The last 2 times I have walked out gun in hand. It's interesting, they only turn around and don't even get out of the car. I know what they are there for and so do they. I also have cameras all over my property, so I know when people come and go.
