outlaw stupid gits, not swords

Post #159,690 by boxley 6/12/04 11:56:53 AM Reply	outlaw stupid gits, not swords Swords arnt outlawed here but if I carried a broadsword into a grocery store I would have a nice deputy asking my intentions, if he didnt like the answer or I was threatening the nice deputy would blow me into kingdom come and all is well with the world. If I said I was on my way to the largo fair he would assist in carrying the beer to the car. Outlawing swords is an asinine thing to do. thanx, bill Anchorage AK: House for sale 3 bed 1 bath 1440 sq feet huge lot near Cheney Lake 175K FSBO 813.273.3518 Asking the mole if he liked a pair of shoes was like asking a cat if he liked algebra: Andrew Vachss questions, help?

When I was 5 or so in kindergarten I took my father's Navy dress sword to show-and-tell. It wasn't sharp, but pointy and was definitely a sword. The teacher seemed a little surprised, IIRC, but it was no big deal. I'd hate to think how an act like that would be regarded today... I would like to whole-heartedly agree with you, but the "yes, but" side of me keeps thinking of exceptions. There aren't enough police to keep a lookout for all the idiots out there. Some things shouldn't be carried around in public. "Hi officer, I carry these nunchaku and this battle axe with me because I like to do exercises while I'm waiting for my morning train. I have no idea why everyone ran screaming from the platform..." Cheers, Scott.

Cops can only investigate after the fact. Its up to the individual to secure their safety. thanx, bill Anchorage AK: House for sale 3 bed 1 bath 1440 sq feet huge lot near Cheney Lake 175K FSBO 813.273.3518 Asking the mole if he liked a pair of shoes was like asking a cat if he liked algebra: Andrew Vachss questions, help?
