Carry a firearm and train with it for those times when you cannot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-59452591707830209162009-01-25T02:31:00.000-06:002009-01-25T02:31:00.000-06:00"Maybe so, but you don't *shoot to wound*, that's ..."<I>Maybe so, but you don't *shoot to wound*, that's TV only . . .</I>"<BR/> - - - -<BR/><BR/>If you're close, you know your accuracy limits, you need to stop someone from doing something, but you don't want them dead, why NOT shoot to wound?<BR/><BR/>It's more chancey, sure, as they may turn around and get you back, but if you make your choice in full knowledge of that chance, well, you're the one making the decisions at that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-80415160680646973502009-01-24T00:45:00.000-06:002009-01-24T00:45:00.000-06:00Hey, how come we never hear anything about "Bow an...Hey, how come we never hear anything about "Bow and Arrow" control?

It IS however textually identical to the print story with Anita's sole byline as near as I can tell. The original online version with Anita's sole byline had been hacked apart by some editor to remove virtually every reference to the CHL holders. In doing so, the story became virtually unreadable because you could not make heads or tails of what happened. They didn't rewrite the story, they just took huge chunks of it out. In doing so, the continuity and the timeline got all fubared up.<BR/><BR/>I wrote a very pointed email to Dean Betz, the online content editor for the Chron and complained about how badly the story had been hacked apart. By about noon or so, the story in the form you see it now replaced the hacked up one without any mention of what was published before. I never heard back from Dean about it however.Rorschachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848860674369931761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-53300881201755504162009-01-21T17:23:00.000-06:002009-01-21T17:23:00.000-06:00I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop...I carry a gun because I can't carry a cop...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33073529.post-84895685925224367022009-01-21T17:11:00.000-06:002009-01-21T17:11:00.000-06:00Demian L.
