What?

yeah, she's not that cold.

ew

Go easy on yourself. You just had a baby!

Um, the attack is over, right? GET OVER IT

muslims getting special treatment?

That case looks like the guy did not deserve it. And, it looks like it went to appellate court b/c the lawyer instructed the jury incorrectly, not b/c there was a question of force.

So, you just gave up hunting two years ago, right?

That makes sense. Not only was the Marine trained to use that weapon, he did so in an effort to protect someone in mortal danger (he didn't see the macing, right? And he doesn't know the history between the two men). Great example of when it is understandable that someone use deadly force against a person he just saw shoot another person and then have that person threaten another life.

Reread your first paragraph. Your head got so fucked up you couldn't speak correctly. Yet, you think you would be able to make the right decision with a gun in your hands? Societal response? Didn't you just read about OR loosening it's laws? Or do you mean our responses here? Especially responses that come from those of us who actually own guns and the right to carry them concealed? Who the fuck do you think you are? Oh yeah, that's right, you are God--the one who gets to decide who lives and who dies in the octagon of life. Grow up.

Why is "conflict management skills" one of the first requirements you list?

Is this the right forum to post observations?

Okay, so when I was in your situation and seeing a kid get stomped in the head, I remember also being very upset. It is troubling to see. Worse yet, the stomper was Tjayden, a skinhead who ruled the school in a reign of terror and was very hansome. My boyfriend at the time said we had to get out of there (it was at a party and we were doing some unsavory things, so we didn't want to be there when the cops came). I said no, we gotta get the guy. We argued about it a bit and then heard sirens. The skinhead troupe ran off, as did everyone else. I made my bf help me pick up the stompee and throw him in the back of the truck. His head was fucked up and swollen, and he'd been stabbed in the knee and was bleeding all over me. He was so disoriented he thought the blood was mine. I told my bf we'd bring him down the street to the Fire Dept and dump him off. And so we did. I never had to pull a gun on anyone. About a year later, by bf and I ran into the guy. He said thanks--and he looked good as new. And nobody got shot. Nobody forfeited their right to live (which, by the way, you don't get to decide b/c last time I checked, you weren't God). And nobody got shot. So get a grip already you Seattle pussy.

No shit, that's what I was thinking! Someone he can't see in the middle of his room in the dark. Fuck it, open fire!

If you are willing to shoot someone at 2am for beating up your neighbor, you have issues.

I have killed my fair share of living things and I can honestly say that no, I would not kill a person for breaking into my home. If they came at me, then yes, I would shoot them. But you, my boy, are freaking out. When you calm down, you may adjust your thinking a little bit.

FYI, they sometimes ban tent camping in the parks when the resident bears are out in force. Please stay off-topic. We are now discussing anaphylactic shock. :lmao:POTD

Oh, I beg your pardon. Obviously I meant to say Anger Management Class.

I'm confused here. If you don't think it's appropriate to rehash the bolting debate, why did you start yet another thread about the bolting debate?

I hope this is a troll. Even cops have to fill out paperwork when they kill a bad guy. Of course there are questions asked. If someone in your family got drunk, stumbled into their neighbor's house, and got shot dead, wouldn't you want to at least ask a few questions? What does the law say? Why should I have to interview a person who broke into my house? Not a troll. After last night I'm considering buying a gun for the house. http://www.courts.wa.gov/library/index.cfm Or, you may wish to take the class for your CW permit; they discuss all those issues. For you in particular I would say to take that class or a basic weapons class long before you run out and buy yourself a gun.

Must be a damn scary thing. My brother in-law is one of those with a peanut allergy, and funny as hell watching my sister badger waitresses about peanuts. That said he did end up at the hospital once because a chef decided that as a "special treat" he'd toss some peanuts into a dish that wasn't supposed to have any Sad that people don't realize how serious this is. As it becomes more common, however, there will be a lot of learning about it. And anyone who sees someone else go into shock never forgets it.

Yes.
