go ye forth and sin no more !
Well shame on you, jimmyray, face it you are guilty of violating the First Commandment of Gun Forum Land
"Thou Shalt Do as I Do"
similar in many respects to the First Commandment of Sarah,
"Thou Shalt Not Do as I Do Not"
For your penance, say three Our Father's, count every primer in your reloading supplies four times, and send a serious monetary contribution to the needy tactical trainer of your choice. Firmly resolve to mend your ways, and live a more fearful life (and keep an eye out for old Grizz, he be real sneaky).
No, I don't like places being posted either. Every time I see one posted, I make a decision. I either walk away (with or without my gun), or walk on in (without). There a lot of places I don't wear a gun, posted or not, including the white throne room in my own house (which, trust me, is not posted, though it mebbe oughta' be). But some here do, their choice, their throne, gotta' respect that. If it's your time to go, well... at least do it on your own terms.
"You're immune to being robbed on the way to or from the bank ?"
hmmm... No, I do most of my banking at the drive-thru, revolver within easy reach, or I walk up to the outside ATM, pistol tucked under shirt, IWB. If I do walk into the bank, I leave gun locked in vehicle. I don't even know if the front door is posted or not, because I don't really care. I ain't going to open fire inside the bank nohow. (same as the cashiers
inside the bank would not do, even if there is a gun under the counter, leastways if they have half a brain)
If they rob me at gunpoint on the sidewalk to the front door, I hand over my money, and cooperate with responding officers after.
I don't carry enough hard cash on me to buy a full case of 22 rimfire nohow; not notably fond of plastic guns, but real fond of plastic money. If the sidewalk robbers get to be a real serious nuisance, I might just have to do all my banking on-line.
Only bleeding I ever did inside a bank was after signing a piece of paper that gave me a permanent nose bleed for 20 years, no cash transfer involved. Bankers have been robbing me all my life, but not one of 'em ever used a 9mm.
ND at a Gun show, would I follow up somebody's ND with a DT ?
Nope, it just don't strike me as a real smart idea.
Left mine checked and zip tied with the cop at the door anyway, just like they politely asked me to, no law required.
Local courthouse, they have 'judicial proceedings" in progress all day, every day. I guess that's why they call it a "courthouse', heckifiknow. I mostly go in there only to renew my CCW permit (only place here you can do that). I check my gun with the cop at the door, 'cause they get a tad peevish if you set off the walk-thru scanner with a gun.
PS
do sometimes make you wonder just how many of our brethren here, if robbed inside a crowded bank, or gun show, or Post office, really would go into their John Wesley Hardin routine.
stay out of New York
stay out of Vermont
stay out of the courthouse
stay out of the bank
stay out of the Post Office
(well, the post office is probably ok, they mostly only kill their own)
ok, ok, I confess... I will carry into wallyworld, to pick up some ammo
it ain't about the store, though, it's the parking lot
:banghead:
