[QUOTE]Originally posted by JeffKardde: [QB] Yes, Omega, I know who Trent Lott is. [i]You're quite naive. I've read stories of pizza delivery guys (and, hey, isn't that your occupation?) going out to deliver a pizza. The one I'm specifically thinking of was robbed, then told to lie face-down in the ditch and count to 100. He got to about seven before they blew the back of his head off. He barely survived.[/i] If I'm naive, I guess that makes you a monkey's ass, huh? How would have a gun improved the delivery driver's chances for life? A pizza is big, Omega. It's not as easy to toss it aside and draw a weapon as it might seem, especially is said weapon is tucked into a jacket or the like (as it would have to be, as no reputable delivery business would allow their drivers to carry a weapon, so the driver would have to have it hidden pretty well to carry it at all). I own a Glock 17. Don't ask me why I bought it, I did so when I turned 21. Guess I felt it was a "rite of passage" or some stupid shit like that. Even if I was to carry it on a delivery, there would be no point. It would be tucked into my waistband with a shirt and a sweatshirt (and possible, a jacket) covering it, I wouldn't be able to get to it. It's spent the last year and couple of months abandoned in my dresser drawer, because I've no need for the dammed thing. <font size=1>Needless to say, this was back when I thought everyone carrying a weapon and the death penalty were good ideas. I no longer think that way, and I don't think I've even so much looked at the gun in well over a year</font size> The person at fault for this was the driver for not utilizing very basic safety precautions -- a call back at the house, etcetra. I've made deliveries, pulled up in front of wherever it was I was supposed to go, and drove away because something didn't look or feel right about it. And, gee, for every story you can tell me about a pizza guy getting shot, I can tell you about a hundred of the robber coming up, getting cash and the pizza, and running off (or I could tell you about Mo Ahmed -- guy tried to rob him with a knife, and Mo broke the guy's arm and nose). And despite what some people make it out to be, pizza robberies are very rare. There hasn't been one in the area I work in for about three years now. Now, the Highs and 7-11s on the other hand ... [i] And just how do you suggest we create this Utopia? It's like communism. It's a dream that can never happen[/i] So you do believe Communism to be Utopia and therefore the perfect society? If so, why are you a Republican? [i]The DNP inniated attempt in the Senate to dictate what isles food products would be placed in supermarkets[/i] Now, see, you know you're paranoid when you're worried about what aisle the milk and candy is in ... How the hell is asking that bread be in aisle five across the country unconstitutional? [i]and owners of private resteraunts can segregate thier customers however they darned please[/i] They most certainly can not. Discrimination by race, gender, or age is very much unconstitutional and illegal. [i]Oh, you're one of the ones that never got it. Listen to me very carefully: IT WASN'T ABOUT SEX. It was about perjury, which, last I checked, was a crime.[/i] Yes, and there was a trial, Omega. It was called an "impeachment" ... yes? And ... gasp! Wasn't he found not guilty? Yet, you still say he was guilty! But wait, he was found not guilty ... he certainly wasn't proved not-innocent, unless you've forgotten the whole "innocent until proved guilty" ... or maybe you're really a judge? [i]Kelvar rounds[/i] Police officers seem rather upset about "cop-killing" rounds. Why do you support the existance of weapons which could kill a police officer? [/QB][/QUOTE]
