Absolutely no offense intended!!

I have never, and will never, tried to convince anyone to take up arms. It's not the only answer and is a very personal decision. I can debate issues all day long with someone who doesn't agree with me, as long as their point of view makes sense. Just be rational and we'll be ok : )

If one chooses to take up arms, it's a lifestyle. Keeping the weapon safely away, going to the range regulary, etc. I just can't imagine being left helpless in a time such as is happening in NO.
