First let me say thank you for serving this country. I salute you!

But I have to respectfully disagree with you on not letting yourself become a victim. People everyday become a victim because of someone elses choices, not theirs. The latest being the mall shootings. Innocent people shopping minding their own business and because of one persons deranged choice they became victoms. Because of a sane persons choice to carry a weapon this sick person was stopped before any worse carnage was done. We cannot control what other people do but we can somewhat be prepared for these circumstances by carrying a CW.

I think most of us used to carry our weapons years ago...I used to carry my .45 as I went into the Bronx all the time and Philadelphia. I was in some very dangerous areas and, at the time, I didn't care if it was legal or not...and of course it is NOT and would have been a Federal offense if I was caught. NOW, it is even worse...if you get caught with a gun in your truck now, you will definitely go under the jail for sure. Heck, the police in the Bronx used to TELL us that we were idiots if we didn't have something...times are different after 9/11 and all the school shootings and such. Now, you might be good at hiding it in your truck...but that police dog only has to step up on your steps and can smell it, they are trained for that. Be careful, this is truly a different country from just a few short years ago!

That is the most truthfull one line sentence ever posted on the internet. The word "different" is a nice way of saying the country is going to hell in a handbasket thanks to leftist liberal ideology. Yes?

Also agree with the rest as well. As for the dogs sniffing out a gun, I gotta ask, what smell are they trained to seek out? Spent powder scents? A cleaned or never fired gun should only smell like metal/plastic/oil. Maybe they are sniffing for ammo ie; lead and or unspent powder?

Curious as to the "federal" charges if caught in say NYC with some personal protection. Too many laws to keep up on no doubt.

Just had to Post this one........


This is the law: The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible
victory in defense. The sword is more important than the shield and skill is
more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is
supplemental. As John Steinbeck once said :

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll
just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

4. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the
Mall.

5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away. (but shoot first
anyway, then call 911)

6. A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter
recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him, 'Why
do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded with, 'Because they don't make a
46.'

7. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

8. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on
his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you
expecting trouble?' 'NO Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have
brought my rifle.' (Winchester Model 94 30-30 Cal. and loaded with
Winchester Silver Tips, no doubt).

9. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

To this I will add my comments. I was once asked by a lady visiting, if I had a gun in the house. To which I said I did. She said, 'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!' To which I said, 'Of course it is loaded.' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of some one evil coming into your house?' My reply was,'No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and THEY ARE ALL LOADED.'

Many moons ago I attended Ohio Diesel Tech in Cleveland, OH where I learned how to work on big trucks.

In fuel injection class, the instructor gave a little demonstration (unauthorized by the school I'm sure) of using an injector pop-off pressure tester as a flame thrower. He mounted up an injector in the tester, lit a rolled piece of paper and pumped the handle on the tester... shooting a huge flame quite a distance. It was quite impressive.

So this got me thinking... why not mount a flame thrower on the running boards? It'd be easily accomplished, using the onboard compressed air to atomize a stream of diesel sucked up from the tank, some tubing, a couple of quartz ignitors, a secret floor switch--Presto! Instant crispy critters!

Crackhead lumper won't take no for an answer? Step on the switch!

Lot lizards in West Memphis got you down? Step on the switch!

The Man hassling you in Banning? POOF! Bye-bye Mr. DOT Man.

This brings to mind something else I've been thinking about doing--an AGM114L Hellfire missile battery mounted up under the airfoil. Once press of a button and the beat up old dash in your Diamond-Reo-Super-International-Eagle-Scout is magically transformed into the instrument panel of an AH-64 Apache helicopter. The heads-up display is beamed on to the backside of the nicotine stained glass so you can lock on to your target as the airfoil folds back to reveal the massive firepower that lies beneath.

Drunken idiot coming at you the wrong way on the big road? "CLICK... vrrrrrrrttttt... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

Bye-bye Mr. Drunken Idiot!

Banning coop open for business? "CLICK... vrrrrrrrttttt... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

Bye-bye chicken coop!

OHP lit you up for 56 in a 55? "CLICK... vrrrrrrrttttt... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! Ka-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

Bye-bye communist pig!

These are just a few of the multitude of inventions that I'll be patenting in the next couple of weeks. Coming soon to a truckstop near you!

Stating fantasies such as these might get you on somebodies watch list. Careful.

I do like the idea of the flame thrower on the side-step, but, maybe a scaled down version that would just singe the britches legs a bit.

How 'bout this? An air powered weed-eater head mounted so that when a shot of compressed air spools it up to about 10,000 rpms it would really stripe a loiters legs and ###. Whizzzzzeee!!!

I sure do hope the truckstops carrying these items will be posted here. I'd like to avoid any and all of them. It's bad enough when folks get new CB equipment installed. They start testing it out in the parking lot and ...well U know. Everybodies got to "check" theirs. Can U just picture that same scenario with this equipment??? Not even!

You must be right. The liberals have been in charge for the last 30 years. It is their fault......


Now as to the dogs. They are trained to smell gun powder. Some are trained in the various types explosives.

My late german shepherd had an excellent nose. He could smell his toy when it was under water and in the current.
