I don't know. Swimming the alligators is a pretty strong competitor.

This is only a few miles from where criminals broke into a gun store with a backhoe a few days ago.

Wonder if these criminals submitted to a background check... US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum

I' ve been in scores of gunstores that I could easily have robbed with nothing more than a 2ft long hunk of pipe tucked inside of my pants. Most of the gun clerks are (stupidly) unarmed and a lot fewer have any realistic skills with a pistol, or hand to hand. When you turn your back to fetch a longarm from the shelf, and turn back around to a pipe in the face, slowfire bullseye or plinking 'skill" doesn't mean a damned thing.

Until the guy in the back comes out with a shotgun and splatters your blood all over the place.

Yeah, I am sure you have thought about beating someone with a pipe. Thought about it, thats it.

I'll watch the news to see a story about some young idiot being shot down in a pawn shop as he tried, in vain, to pull a 2 ft pipe out of his pants.

Submitted as an additional award winner, genius takes on two police officers with a BB gun...

Sergeant Gabriel Green and officer Kaylynn Griffin apprehended a suspect in a Palestine, TX Applebees on May 31st.

As the officers escorted the suspect out of the restaurant, he pulls a handgun from his pocket and and aims at officers.

After engaging and killing the suspect, it was found that he only had a BB gun, which looked exactly like a 9mm pistol. This may have been a case of suicide by cop, or he could have been hoping it would give him a chance to create some space so that he could run.

Geniuses.

Where I work, last year...about September, we got new 3, brand new full sized pickups and a Ford Explorer for our department. Within 6 weeks the three pickups were wrecked. Rear bumper on one truck, and the right rear corner panel on the other, were damaged. I washed my truck before shift the other evening, and found a new dent in the drivers side door, at the reflective stripe.

People cannot take care of anything. Darwin award winners right there. Wreck two full size pickups, and dent the door on another truck. Hmmm. I always wondered if it was intentional.

Unarmed, or are they packing 5 shot hammer less 38's in their pocket just waiting for an idiot like you to bring a club to a gunfight.

Okay....let's say they stole these guns.......how long would it take for them to run background checks on themselves before they left the store, and how soon would they pay the tax stamp, license those guns and get permits to carry those guns?
