Being from the deep south.......... of Canada..... I would have to replace the Glock with, say an angry beaver or a hockey stick, but the final outcome would be the same as the southerner. slapshots upside the head or the sound of angry gnawing.......[^]
[:D][:D][:D]LMAO[:D][:D][:D]
Stu, my eyes are still watering. I gotta get me a pocket sized attack/guard beaver!!!
You're not completely correct in your assessment though.
IF...
the deserted street were directly on route from your home to the gun range, and
IF...
the man came at you with his knife:
You could attack him with your Glock that is trigger locked inside its double locked steel carrying case...
By whacking him upside the head with the case.
That's pretty much your only defence. Come to think about it, I like my chances better with the hockey stick or the beaver.

Down here in Florida some new law says I can shoot if I feel threatened. Sounds simple enough. No hockey stick, no rodents, just my word against his. And, asuming its a good shot, he shouldn't be talking too much.
Now that hockey season is finally back and we still have the Stanley Cup here, maybe a hockey stick would be more appropriate any way [8D]

And exactly why should this require a <b>NEW</b> law? Scumbag comes at you with a weapon and the intent to cause you bodily harm and/or steal. You defend yourself & deprive him of his opportunity to buy some more crack. Law abiding people shouldn't have to explain themselves out of doing something initiated by a criminal.
Thumbs up to Florida, although I find it remarkable in this day & time, they actually have to go to that extent. Seems like basic common sense to me.

OK; I'll bite.
SOUP would be a republican all the way...
I just HAPPEN to own a glock (one of my favorite toys, immediately after the scoped Ruger .454).
I also believe in being responsible.
One well-placed round from my Glock shoud do the trick. Anything more would be a waste of taxpayers money! [:D]
** This is really the kind of JOKE that helped to defeat John Kerry AND keep TED (wannabepresident) Kennedy OUT of office. The truth hurts sometimes.
** ** Yeah, Soup is a bit of a gun advocate. Something the Canucks here won't like or understand I suppose.... (you're just jealous?)
GO White Sox... or at the very least "BOO YANKEES"!!!!!

Hey Soup,
This the third time I've noticed you mouthing off about Canadians.
Here, on my Thanksgiving Day thread, and a meat thread a few months back.
If you have something to say, please get it out. My e-mail hyperlink works as well.
I've voted right wing since I was allowed, and sent my letters to my MP about our REDICULOUS gun registry. I've owned a gun since my parents would allow me to have a .22 for gophers, and have remained a strong property rights advocate and gun/hunting enthousiast through my lifetime.
Perhaps you are trying to joke around, but your choice of words leaves little interpretation the way I read them. Sorry if I'm reading you wrong, but your comments continually rub me the wrong way.
Respectfully,
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/whitetailfan/wtbuck.bmp)

I love Canada! and any law abiding gun owner is a friend of mine.
I thought that self defense was a basic right. If I felt like my life or someone elses was threatened I am going to shoot to kill. Even in this far left state of California we have rights and I have a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

Hey WTF... Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. I've been having a hard time enjoying this forum lately. Seems there's a boorish element that uses this forum to promote there belief's ...right or wrong.... I don't care.... This should be a forum about the hobby of smoking foods and not a political soapbox. It's a shame[V].

Mike,
I'll assume that comment was directed towards me & respond.
99% of the posts on this board are about the hobby of smoking foods & related aspects. I don't think a community as diverse as ours would be capable of talking smoking 100% of the time.
You establish certain "friendships" here & want to explore other areas of your "friends'" interest. As the community we've become, I see no reason for members to not share their feelings & beliefs in order to better know each other. Maybe you'll like me more, maybe you'll like me less, but at least you have an open & honest window as to who I am.
I think it is a positive thing for the community to discuss issues outside of smoking because smoking is only a part of all our lives. I refuse to dictate that every post be about smoking because we're all so much more than that.
I will apologize for the fact that I have been lax in moving threads to the appropriate forums. Just not enough hours in the day, and you get what you pay for.[;)]
Hope that helps & please continue to participate. We value your input.

Whitetail-
Don't apologize for possibly reading me wrong... maybe MY fault!
Let me introduce myself as a WANNABE Canadian. Over the past twenty years or so I've been going to Ontario (fishing) and just absolutely LOVE the place! I tried to buy an island on Rainey Lake, Ontario but the non-Canadian citizen tax killed the deal.
I do KID Canucks frequetly out of jealousy, nothing more than that. If I rubbed you the wrong way, I apologize profusely. I cannot think of a better place to live and be happy than up North... Just wish I could figure out HOW to accomplish that.
My best of best friends owns a camp in Ontario. I go there often. I really WISH I could live there...
I gotta work on this personality thing.... really SORRY Friend!
** Please excuse my spelling...
Best known not for soup, but rather smoked meats... and stuff
As an aside to Chez's response here....
Running something like this takes a lot of time, patience and understanding. Last I heard, Kirk doesnt get paid for his efforts.
Maybe we should consider forum 'moderators' who could take some of the load off of him?
Volunteers would be the best.
For my part, I will try to be less brusque...

No Chez it wasn't. Your doing a great job as administrator and I agree, what makes this forum fun is the different people from all walks of life sharing views and opinions as long as theres tolerance and respect.
The great thing about technology is that it makes it easy for people to communicate through text. But sometimes the real intent of the communication is lost because the text doesn't speak to you. It doesn't tell a story. I forget that sometimes and miss peoples intent or make too much of it. For this I apologise.
Soup, I was responding to your recent posts with reference to Canada and obviously over reacted. If there ever was an example of missing a persons story through interpreting simple flat text....this is it. Again, I apologise for over reacting.

Ding, ding ding.........We have a winner![:)]
Unfortunately, written communication cannot conduct voice inflection. The smilies help a little, but you can't always be sure if someone is saying "I think you're a dork." in a funning way, or a serious way.
I have learned that if something you read on a board seems to be an insult to you, the best policy is to sleep on it & respond after you've re-read it. Just because I've learned it, doesn't mean I always <b>follow</b> it![;)][B)]
Basically, we're all here because we enjoy the same past-time, none of us are wasting our time to get someone else's undies in a bunch. I really do think we're all on the same page, just sometimes there's a minor understanding.
Smoke on[8D],
