Today's Chuckle: What, Me Worry? | St. Albert's Place On The Web

The Arizona Department of Safety Officer pulled over pick-up truck owner Mike Murray for a weapons check because of an NRA bumper sticker.

When the officer approached the vehicle, the man behind the wheel handed the officer his driver's license, insurance card and concealed carry permit.

The officer took all the documents, looked them over and said, "Mr. Murray, I see you have a CCP. Do you have any weapons with you?"

The driver replied, "Yes I do. I have a 357 handgun in a hip holster, a .45 in the glove box and a .22 derringer in my boot."

The officer looked at Mike and asked, "Anything else?"

"Yes. I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge and an AR-15 in the trunk."

The officer asked if the man was driving to or from a shooting range and the man said he wasn't, so the officer bent over and looked into the driver's face and said "Mr. Murray, you're carrying quite a few guns. May I ask what you are afraid of?"

Mike locked eyes with the officer and calmly answered, "Not a friggin’ thing".

Unfortunately, the use of deadly force is always "defenseable" under these circumstances. Police know this; they are taught to ere on the side of saftey. I can't say that they actually look for these kinds of opportunities to notch their weapons, but sometimes it does appear that they do. Since I was not there, I cannot say how threatened the cops were, but I do know that a knife, in the hands of someone trained in the use of edged weapons is a much more dangerous weapon than many people realize. As a lifelong student of the knife, in a confrontation with up to three opponents in a close-up confrontation, I would generally prefer todefend myself with a knife.
The reason is that a knife is omni-directional, much faster to deliver multiple strikes with, and usually feared more than other weapons. The fear of mulitple cuts or slashes is often a deterent in itself. There is the additional fear of a contaminated blade, which may retain germs of any imaginable variety--including AIDS--in some settings. This has to add to the apprehensions of anyone who may be targeted by a knife-weilder.
In this case, it does ot seem that the woman was a trained knife combatant, but the risks of contamination may have been a factor.

NRA's LaPierre: 'Fast and Furious' Was Plot Against Second Amendment

The government-sanctioned gunrunning operation Fast and Furious was a plot to undermine Second Amendment rights in the United States, National Rifle Association officerWayne LaPierre charged on Friday in an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV.

“It’s the only thing that makes any sense,” LaPierre said. “Over a period of two or three years they were running thousands and thousands of guns to the most evil people on earth. At the same time they were yelling ’90 per cent… of the guns the Mexican drug cartels are using come from the United States.’

Story continues below video.

“That was a phony figure from the very start. Even the Wikileaks cables from our own State Department prove they are coming from Central America, they are not coming from the U.S. Every police officer will tell you that they’re coming from Russia, they’re coming from China, most of them are coming from Central America and a lot of them are coming from defections from the Mexican Army,” said LaPierre, the NRA's executive vice president and CEO.

But LaPierre said that President Barack Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton were determined to make it appear that most weapons used by the Mexicans came from north of the border, “so they could stick more gun legislation on honest American gun owners of the United States.”

Of course! This goes without saying. You do't even have to think about this. Anyone who fails to see this may be delusional. It does not get any plainer. But what's the big deal? It isn't really astonishing,is it?

I know you must be prepared at any time and in any place to defend yourself, your family, or come to the aid of innocent people being brutalized, EVEN WHEN YOU DO NOT HAVE A GUN. I understand this so well that I went to bat for you by asking, pleading, begging, and finally arm twisting Tim Larkin to offer a payment program on his amazing, Target Focus Training At Home DVD training package AND I got him to throw in some never before offered bonuses just for Front Sight subscribers...
