    I think there’s a misunderstanding in my last post. Not carrying doesn’t mean that someone is cowardly, just as carrying means that you’re now prepared to win at anything that happens. A firearm is just another option when SHTF...that’s it. It’s not a guarantee of survival. It’s an extra option.
    Chicken $h@t isn’t not carrying a gun, it’s crying and whimpering and begging for someone not to hurt you.
    Like on “Deliverance”, the guy with the gun tells ol Ned Beatty to ‘get dem pants off.’ Chicken $h@t was when Ned VOLUNTARILY took his pants off.

    And you don’t strike me as the type of person who will voluntarily take his pants off and beg for mercy.

    Thanks, that makes sense. I mis-took your meaning.

    Well, I've never had anyone point a gun at me so I can't say for sure what I would do, but typically I am about as meager a person as you will ever meet...…….until a certain line is crossed. At that point I am not rational, and this is why I have great respect for GOOD law enforcement officers. I don't think I have the capacity to act in a rational manner when confronted with the situations that they deal with every day. Perhaps it is a trait that one can learn, but I would not be a good candidate.

    So turns out the shop in Little Rock didn't put the DPF and DOC back right. They hunted for a while before they found it. Finally got the light to hit just right on the back side of the clamp and he saw where it wasn't holding right. Said you could slide a piece of paper through the opening, which is a big hole.

    They're taking it apart and inspecting everything for any further damage now.
