Just post at your front door and you'll have no problems.

I'm ready. I've got my rig all set up.

Whatever tough guy So I'm just wondering. If you're posting here that you carry a gun, do you carry it because you feel that you need it? ..Or do you just like guns? It's my job to carry a gun. Several of them in fact. It's also part of my job to be able to crush someone with my bare hands. Something I have become quite adept at over time. What's it to you tough guy?

Nice pics. Wonder what the record is for most summits via this route and or via Ptarmigan ridge? I wonder what the record is for most attempts without a summit? Anyone?

Most of the lower numbers have been banned or lost interest in the site. I think my original name was #10.

Whatever tough guy

Zinni has a new book out with Clancy. I meant to buy it today, but got lost looking at fly fishing gear. I think it will be a very good read. Straight Talk

Does anyone here know him? Know how I can reach him? He lives in Gold Bar if that helps and used to manage the Golds Gym in Kirkland.

I had a guy road rage on me one time and he knew I had a gun. He came anyway and I let him off the hook. It all boils down to discretion and comfort level. The only time I'm going to skin my smoke wagon is if the life of one of my family members is threatened or I'm in dire peril of losing my own life. That's here playing by these rules though.

Can I get than job too?

Well spoken. Running away from the city is a good solution for some. Others choose to face the realities of our society. At least she doesn't have to carry a SAW to work and wear Type 4 body armor like I do at my place of employment.

If you ask me a dog or a group of dogs are more dangerous than a gun.

Yes, I agree it is a very bad idea.

So you're advocating removing the right to self defense?

I believe AZ is on the verge of allowing gun owners to carry into bars. So how's that for change?

My point was that you are unable to discern the right to self defense which was duly adjudicated by the Law in Arizona. Are you more informed than the people that investigated and ruled on the event in question? Your emotional outburst regarding firearms and their relationship to the Constitution seems like frivolous spray rhetoric.

Actually I think Bruce Campbell holds the record for cave dwelling. Reference Army of Darkness for a factual account of his deeds.

I think that getting a CWP is a bit more involved than getting a drivers license. At least you have to pass a criminal background check and be fingerprinted. Most states require some type of education courses in conjunction with a 60 day wait period.

Anyone who has a CWP has been duly educated by reading portions of the RCW's which specifically indicate areas where CW's are not permitted.

Yes, my comment was directed to you. As a card carrying member of the NRA, a CWP holder, and federally licensed firearm instructor I really find your whole tone and argument dull to say the least.

Running at the mouth again folks? Home ten days from the great adventure, and I see nothing here worth fighting for. Since some Americans don't really seem to give a great fuck about the boys over there other than to engage in useless pillow talk over the net. If you really want to show your stripe get your ass out the peace rally so I can detain and arrest you and give a nice taste of homegrown prison in your backyard. What we need around here are more Pelican Bays. Shoe program dissenter!

Your argument is emotive and therefore irrelevant. Post again when you've calmed down.

No, not me. I would have shot the dogs, and reasoned with the individual.

That's nothing. A Japanese soldier hid out in a cave on Guam until 1972. 28 years after the colony of Guam was officially declared secure.

I was supposed to do this trek in 2002. You should be aware of State Department warnings against travel in this area. Pakistan January 29, 2004 This Travel Warning has been updated to remind U.S. citizens of ongoing security concerns in Pakistan . This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning for Pakistan dated April 17, 2003 . The Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens to defer non-essential travel to Pakistan due to ongoing concerns about the possibility of terrorist activity directed against American citizens and interests there. The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and the U.S. Consulates in Karachi , Lahore , and Peshawar continue to operate at reduced staffing levels. Family members of official Americans assigned to all four posts in Pakistan were ordered to leave the country in March 2002 and have not been allowed to return. Al-Qaida and Taliban elements continue to operate inside Pakistan , particularly along the porous border region. Their presence, coupled with that of indigenous sectarian and militant groups in Pakistan , requires that all Americans in or traveling through Pakistan take appropriate security measures. Continuing tensions in the Middle East also increase the possibility of violence. As security has tightened at official U.S. facilities, terrorists and their sympathizers have demonstrated the willingness and capability to attack more vulnerable targets, including facilities where Americans are generally known to congregate or visit, such as hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, or outdoor recreation events. U.S. citizens who travel to, or remain in, Pakistan despite this Travel Warning should register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad or at the Consulates in Lahore, Peshawar, and Karachi in order to enroll in the emergency alert system (the warden network). Persons wishing to register at the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi should call that office to make arrangements for how to register given the special security measures in effect at that post. Information concerning updated travel and security information for Pakistan is issued periodically via the warden network. U.S. citizens in country should take appropriate individual precautions to ensure their security and safety. These measures include maintaining good situational awareness, avoiding crowds and demonstrations, keeping a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel and ensuring travel documents and visas are valid. From time to time, any post in Pakistan may temporarily suspend public services for security reasons. Official Americans, at any given time, may be prohibited from traveling to certain areas of Pakistan due to security concerns and therefore, may not be able to render immediate service to American citizens in distress. The Embassy and Consulate websites will have the latest information on more specific travel restrictions. Many areas of Pakistan such as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the international border and the area adjacent to the Line of Control in the disputed territory of Kashmir are restricted for non-Pakistanis. Travel to any restricted region requires official permission by the Government of Pakistan. Failure to obtain such permission in advance can result in arrest and detention by Pakistani authorities.
