Most of their posts end with "yup" in this group.

hint of anti-gun legislation. He calls it "Backlash, YUP"

We didn't start it, he did.

on the list....and that right being restored is a good thing.

the 'sarcasm' thingy...

I don't think he did. He could have used this one though:

There are those who think guns in the workplace are "safety equipment", ranking higher than such non-essentials like fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, first aid kits, hard hats, protective clothing.

This the kind of protective gear we used at work in 1968 and 1970...



When I got recalled to active duty from retirement in 1991, my main gun had gone from the 90mm I used in Vietnam, and the 105mm gun kept ready during the 70's and 80's in Europe, to the 120mm that proved so handy in popping the turrets off Iraqi T-72's. The armor, the revised ammunition stowage and the Halon fire suppression system all were great improvements over its predecessors.



"Weapons speak to the wise, but in general they need interpreters" Pindar, Olympian Odes

Having spent the better part of my adult life mastering weapons and teaching others the same, I am disinclined to give them up.

...the other parts of my PPE, it is definitely a part of that. I keep basic tools, a jumper pack/cables, 12V air compressor, flat tire repair kit, first aid kit, a OBD code scanner, flash light, cash/spare key in a magnetic holder on the frame rail, and a small .25 ACP pistol.

But you sound like a prepared guy.

I'd just like to be allowed to have one on the premises so I could keep it locked in my truck in the parking garage.

5 days a week I have to be disarmed when I leave home in the morning and until I get back home at night. Not comforting.
