Coffee

[burkbuilds]

I personally know several friends who were attacked or someone tried to carjack them and when they pulled their pistol out and pointed it in the assailants face he left without any further incident in each case. I don't usually carry my firearms around with me, but I've got no problem with someone who feels they need it for protection. The neighborhood I worked in just south of Atlanta around Christmas was more than a little dangerous and my employer handed me a loaded 9mm to carry while I painted, inside a locked house! I'll have to admit that I was glad I had it while we were there.

Wish the lawmakers in England understood that. ALL handguns are banned, even legitimate gun clubs were forced to disband.(actually, this means that the only people allowed to carry guns are the criminals!) If an armed response police officer shoots someone who is pointing a gun at him, he will often find himself in court, charged with murder, because he didn't have time to shout "armed police - put down your weapon!" before he shot him.

Recently, in England, when several burglars broke into their house, two brothers woke up & chased one of them into the street, where they subdued the violent robber with a baseball bat until the police arrived. Later, in court, the burglar was let off free, while the brothers got two years jail each, for assault. Is that crazy, or is that crazy. The robber wasn't even punished for the burglary. :bang:

Alanf, the Canadian laws are much the same. You can't defend your own home and family without being prosecuted. The police themselves have their hands tied by law makers who are afraid to offend some one.

Sign on a fence post in US of A. " Trespassers will be shot ". I like that, it makes sense to me.

I'm sure I will get some crap for this, but i have found that gun owners run the gamut from super safety conscious hyper responsible types to complete idiots (See Plaxico.)

As soon as some overcaffeinated cowboy blows away a barista because his foam was too dry the party will be over.

Don't worry, cowboys don't buy coffee from coffee bars.

McDaniels coffee is good stuff. you could buy it at save a lot and i imagine you still can. for regular non fancy coffee that is way better than folgers and such crap that cost way more

it may be Irish but I'm not sure, it came in a dark red can that was not decorated much. its a value brand coffee but its good.

as far as star bucks and all that i did hear on the radio that all these places sold mid to low quallity coffee. and this came from coffee orginization that went around and tested coffee. i think duncan donuts had the best score out of all the places you could go and it was less expensive.

Is it just me, or does it seem like it would be very easy for a thug to help himself to your Glock when you have it strapped to your waist like that. An (armpit?) shoulder holster or calf/boot seems to offer a more secure way of toting these things around. But I guess those are considered concealed?

Whenever I see these open carry guys, the thought "He's basically got a gun in a fanny pack" crosses my mind. I'm in California, so I doubt I'd ever be able to legally walk around with a .45 on my fanny, but even if I could, I probably wouldn't for fear of some nut behind me in line relieving me of my piece.
