nic...safety, as well as charity, starts at home. <br /><br />nice to know you have faith in those sworn to protect you, i actually fit into that category.<br /><br />read my comment more carefully. the fact you choose to go unarmed is ok with me. the folks driving the "debate" are those who would disarm me, and are unwilling to respect my rights. and that is small minded. that right is my 1st amendment right, to freedom of speech. i still currently have the right to espouse my opinions, whether others agree with them or not.<br /><br />that you are willing to out source your personal safety to others you do not know, and many times can not see, is truly an act of faith.<br /><br />all the comments about how when you need a cop you can not find one, and when seconds count, the police are minutes away, are true. ask the folks at aurora, virginia tech, ft. hood, columbine, should i continue? <br /><br />i do consider it small minded, and without apology, for people who go in harms way to blindly rely on others to bail them out if/when the shit hits the fan.<br /><br />make no mistakes, we live in a dangerous world and bad things happen to good people all the time. as a small corollary, this is why we all have auto insurance. <br /><br />most policies generally include uninsured motorist coverage. if the guy that ran the light is uninsured, your shit still gets fixed. <br /><br />if the cops aren't escorting me around all day everyday, and something bad happens, I at least have the means to defend myself and those around me and don't have to wait hoping the CAV arrives in time.<br /><br />jeff, do me a favor if you would, and go over to my sight, see what you think, and feel free to comment on any thing you want.<br /><br /><br /><br />jay sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656537239497473709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-9030588557300345082013-01-21T18:28:20.274-07:002013-01-21T18:28:20.274-07:00"here is the thing about gun control; if an i..."here is the thing about gun control; if an individual chooses to go unarmed, i believe that is their right, and i do not try to force them into a position which makes them uncomfortable. these same small minded people refuse to grant me the same peace of mind i afford them."<br /><br />jay son:<br />I choose to go unarmed. Just by doing so you call me small minded? What gives you that right? I live in a country where I feel that I should not need protection because we have a local police force in each city, village, town, what-have-you, along with our National Guard, Army, Marines, Air Force, and Navy. How is it that because I choose to have faith in those sworn - and paid - to protect me that I am small minded. I never, ever said one word about you choosing to carry a gun. It's time for you to rethink your opinions of others if for no other reason than because I choose to go unarmed that you may call me "small minded."<br /><br />Respectfully,<br /><br />- Jeff<br />(Sol's brother)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-3769372819674166492013-01-20T20:24:12.478-07:002013-01-20T20:24:12.478-07:00excellent analysis as always, the last 2 paragraph...excellent analysis as always, the last 2 paragraphs were i believe your best.<br /><br />here is the thing about gun control; if an individual chooses to go unarmed, i believe that is their right, and i do not try to force them into a position which makes them uncomfortable. these same small minded people refuse to grant me the same peace of mind i afford them. <br /><br />also solly the nra was referencing the armed guards which are paid for by the private school, and not the secret service detail you and i have to pay for. i believe his majesty would NEVER send his kids to public school, which may or may not have a single SRO, if they are lucky. everyone knows the political elite have more regard for their own kids than they do our kids.<br /><br />another case of do as i say, not as i do.jay sonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17656537239497473709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965825415349936737.post-85037502672570149052013-01-18T08:40:16.228-07:002013-01-18T08:40:16.228-07:00Very thoughtfully written.
