I’ve been shot at from a distance, but I was never close up on the business end of a gun. However, if I was in the puckered pooper position the last thing I'd notice is the caliber of the piece.
Bogs, about forty years ago I had a sawn-off double-barreled 12 gauge shotgun pointed at my face from a foot away. The clinical side of my mind noted the gauge while the rest of it was amazed at how cavernous those barrels looked.
I always joked that if I was going to hold a place up, I would paint my weapons funny color and put an orange barrel on them. That way I can walk around in the open with them.
In NJ... They could have made one out of tin foil and the snowflakes around here wouldn't know the difference. My kid almost got suspended in 2nd grade because he made a "gun shaped toy" out of the tin foil wrapper from his lunch, I wish I was kidding. The indoctrination (guns=bad) starts early in Jersey. Thankfully, we have countered it...
I lived in New Jersey for 4 years in the early 2000s. After growing up in Appalachia and spending my 20s as a soldier, it was like living in another country. I couldn’t wait to move back to the South. I did make some really good conservative friends, mostly working class Irish and Italian.

Are we expecting mass demonstrations by the left for catching a thief?
ReplyDeleteI need some cash too and just need to make sure that robbing people is OK.
Really roast their brain and put an orange cap over your very real barrel.
ReplyDeleteBonus points for having the end solid instead of with a hole, or extra bonus for inserting the little white squirtgun cap.
