Are you more concerned about your personal safety during the holiday season?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on November 24, 2009
“Yes, whenever there are more people about, I think more about my safety and personal belongings.”
“The amount of people driving does impend a certain doom, but otherwise in Lawrence I feel free anytime to be out and about.”
“Not in Lawrence. … This is a pretty safe town.”
“No. … I don’t really have anything for anybody to steal.”

Must be the egg nog... Craig & Walt look like twins
(after they correct this, this post won't make sense)

I can see that icicle piercing your eyeball as you look up to see what that snapping sound was. It is falling from such a height that the momentum drives it clear through your eye and into the brain. You're convulsing on the ground for a minute or so, as the electrical impulses in your brain are scrambled and finally stop sending messages to your heart. It beats wildly and erratically for your last minute or so of life, then finally arrests. For a few seconds you have lucid, but panicked consciousness. You're unable to move any part of your body and then there is nothing.

I tend to be toting my Remington 870 throughout the holiday season, so I feel quite safe. Most people won't even talk to me.

Of course, the in-laws are coming, so spousal unit could snap at any moment.

OB, I am not affraid of her I want to make her jump through some hoops, with fire. Then lick my hand. Maybe even put my head in her mouth.

Walt looks different. In fact, he looked just like Craig earlier this morning. Kudos to Walt for morphing.

"Maybe even put my head in her mouth." Consumer1
Whoa, hey. This is a family website. You can only get away with that kind of talk on the stripper blog.
consumer1 (anonymous) says…
It is obviously the direction of the "head tilt". If he tilts to the left, his hair goes back and he looks clean shaven. To the right, hair falls forward and the light shows his beard.
Simple right?

Nice hat Alyson. You might look in the mirror once in a while.
No, I don't feel less safe during the Holidays. Except, well, maybe a little threatened by people with strange hats.

We have not decommissioned the bunker yet, because that is where the Free State beer is stored. I don't want to get complacent. Questions like this lull people into a false sense of security as can be seen by the answers here.
autie (anonymous) says…
Like toting a Remington 870? No lulling here.

Autie - Wingmaster?
autie (anonymous) says…
I don't think it is a true Wingmaster, but a basic 870, 3 inch magnum..I refer to as my K-Mart gun. Well built and cheap. It has been a solid performer for some time now..
autie (anonymous) says…
uh,,yeah, I checked. Mine is the Remington Express 870, not a Wingmaster. Wingmaster is more the cadillac grade for that model. I have the ford pickup style.
autie (anonymous) says…
Speaking of which, I haven't notice girlfriend in awhile..maybe I just ain't been on the right threads.
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
Happy Evolution Day to all.
oldvet (anonymous) says…
Kinda hard to carry that one concealed, autie! My 1911-A1 works very well...
The_Original_Bob (anonymous) says…
I got a Wingmaster for my 16th birthday. Damn. Since I put it that way, that is an old gun.
Re: Girlfriend... He was on something the other day. One of the blogs maybe.

I've tied a sprig of holly to the helmet of my containment suit. That's as festive as I'm getting this year.

I'm going down to the Jayhawk Pawn Gun Expo dec. 4th & 5th and get some good deals on handguns. They are a good way to protect me & my family. The staff down there are nice.

Dang T_O_B,
Thats modern hardware in my book, I'm still using the savage 124c my father gave me when I was 12, it was 30 years old when I got it. Plastic stock and straight pull bolt and all.
somedude20 (anonymous) says…
I'm going to get the swineflu so that people will fear and stay away from me ( get away or I will cough). I am going to start a business that makes bullets coated in the swineflu for extra killing power ( not only have you been shot, but you have a 93.7% chance of getting swineflu now).
prospector (anonymous) says…
Autie, I know which side of the wire you will be on. You are right, I never knew you to be a luller.

Well, it was more of a, "Damn, that was a long time ago" moment. I don't have the mileage you do.
RETICENT_IRREVERENT (Ronaldo Ignacio) says…
All highway miles, T_O_B, all highway miles.

How about your cane old man, do you have a picture of it?
gphawk89 (anonymous) says…
I'm more concerned about my personal safety ALL the time. My family's safety, actually. I don't understand how one can NOT be concerned. Nothing crazy like arsenals, bomb shelters, and chem warfare suits. but at least keeping a few days' worth of emergency food and water, locking the doors every night, being aware of surroundings, etc. Remington 870 - got one of those. All black, short barrel, magazine extension, Surefire light. Scary looking thing - but that's the whole idea.

My friend GLOCK is near................so their is no fear..........during this time of year..........

Thanks Multi, good one.
autie (anonymous) says…
R_I, TOB, all those miles whether highway or not ain't so bad just as long as you've kept your oil changed on a regular basis. And keep those actions oiled up so they don't get rusty neither.

There's alot to worry about this time of year. Consider Santa - now there's a stalker for you.
"He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good"
That guy freaks me out!

autie,
That is where mechanical excellence and one-thousand four-hundred horsepower pays off.
