I have that all wrapped up. 17 and 18 year old sons handle low level threats. For long distance I have an M21 Optics. Intermediate distance M1A NM Iron Sights. Closer "Urban" distances SOCOM 16 (supposedly Christmas). Remington 870. In your face distances any number of .45ACP's. Mostly one of John Browning's finest creations.

If the young man is lucky it will be very quick. I really don't like getting my hands sore.
Did I mention I am rather fond of the M14 series of rifles? Looks like the M21 may be sold to a deserving LEO in Oklahoma though.

It's all the damn hormones in the chicken. I kid you not, I have had to step back to someone in a local mall and advise them of her age and relationship to me. I promise that perv was at least 25-30. It is kinda sad for her really. One day your a normal 11-12 year old girl and in an amazing "no-time-at-all" change latter none of her clothes fit and all of her friends are jealous. I do not remember it being like this when I was in school, but it is assumed due to her appearance, she is automatically a slut. She is really paying the price now for what she will appreciate in the future.

Her one comment to me once was prophetic: "At least I won't have to buy my boobs like these other girls will dad".

All this from a 13 y/o.

Hey Smash

I am in the picture and I didn't think twice about your post. I am a recovering Xenophobe so I see both sides of the story.

And besides... as Voltaire evidently did not say "I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." We should all remember that maxim when we're perusing the forum.

I think Martin's response was nice for healthy debate. If you look at his history he has a way of extrapolating from what people say and commenting on it. (like he did in response to wildman800). The subsequent information is generally useful, if not entertaining. He's a good resource, and don't take it personally if he sees fit to educate you on the details.

Personally, I am a recovering Xenophobe. Partly due to the fact that I have worked from home for 6 years and I don't have any co-workers on this continent. I have, in the past, even asked for people to blur out details in photos that they posted online of me.

However, I have come to accept the same conclusions that others have posted and am trying to adopt a healthier perspective on humanity.

And in a breakaway behavior when I was in California this week, I made friends with my Sikh cab driver, visited his temple, and went to his house where his wife made some awesome Indian food for us. So I won't be attending my Xenophobes Anonymous meeting this week.

Interestingly, in the 5 months I've been hanging out here I have noticed that I find the posts of people who use their own picture as their avatar to be more "on target" for me than those of people who use other graphics (~kaoticklown is the poster child here). This is not an absolute thing of course, just noticing a trend. Please don't be personally offended by my point of view. There are many exceptions to this (I've already mentioned Martin) and its only a trend for me personally. (insert long dull flame reduction disclaimer here)
