[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] >"The ideological emphasis of which seems to head toward individual armed camps all across the country." As opposed, say, to the gated, high-security, armed-guard-patrolled hollywood liberal elite suburbs? >"I'd think that most breakers & enterers wouldn't find out until they encounted you & your Dobie-O-Matic sittin' in the drawing room in wait." There are many ways around this. My personal favorite is to display a used target silouette. an NRA sticker under your security alarm label is effective, nd given that the majority of home crimes are committed by people known to the victim, just letting it be known that you squeeze off a few rounds now and then can help. When I was in high school, everybody knew my father was a gun collector. Kids asked me all the time if it was true he sometimes wandered the property at night armed to the teeth (it wasn't). But during a rash of burglaries in the country (where your neighbors aren't close enough to know you're being robbed), houses surrounding us were robbed, but ours remained untouched. >"So what if they can't run up a flight of stairs without having to sit down?" That's biased, prejudicial, and downright rude. And it ain't true, neither. Myself, I took high-end training when I was younger, in a Scout troop run by a couple of ex-Marines, one of whom fought in 'Nam. I learned just about everything one would need to know if, say, one survived a air crash in an isolated part of the world. I've lived in the woods for weeks at a time, hiked 50 miles in a day, climbed a mountain, built snares, caught, killed, cooked, and eaten wild animals. I'm fairly good at tracking and stalking human beings in a wilderness situation (think advanced 'capture the flag'.) I may not be able to do a hundred pushups, but.. so? In a defnesive position, that's not generally a going concern. [/QB][/QUOTE]
