    Anyone else notice 'her' not so subtle boycott threat against any store that allows legal carry?

    "Thanking the clerk, I walk toward the YA section and my children. We won’t be spending money in this store today. We will be leaving as quickly as I can get them through the door,..."

    Given that she never actually sees a gun, and over reacts nonetheless, my guess is that her offspring were retrieved from the YA (Young Assholes) book section....

    And totally okay with her dispersing children upon entering. That bugged me too. Apparently she just trusts anyone around her kids.

    She said while casually tilting her head, raising her eyebrows, and slapping her hairbrush in one hand several times for emphasis. She may also be simultaneously tapping one toe My Three Sons style too.

    Flypaper?? Crap! I don't have a silly song for that. I do have one for wrapping paper but it's not that good.

    Ahh, searching for safety and security in the fantasy that all danger can be eliminated by the government and the world can be made fair for even the weakest amongst us. What a Pollyanna.

    I guess that would be why you are the Author, and I am the flypaper.

    Sorry, there is a 3-day waiting period and a background check before I can transfer it to you. And getting them out of the country is REALLY difficult! ;)

    WARNING: GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AHEAD
    I'll have to send you a photo for you to really understand it - the brush is really a long cylinder, with the handle, maybe 1" in diameter, at one end and the brushes at the other, sticking straight out from the cylinder. That end is wider, if you count to the end of the bristles, which are only about 3/4" long.
    Well, just like a pencil, or a rolled-up newspaper, this cylinder can go into an eye [if you have a pet doctor who will answer these questions for you, ask him - I don't know how far you have to go to kill someone because you're going thru bone. But if you're fast, you can destroy both eyes. You can also aim for the nose, putting the brush across the face, and break the bones at the top of the nose. The end of the handle of some brushes is small enough that it could go into the nose; depending on its size, you could break the bones there in front of the brain. Moving down the face, HARD strikes on the face or the ears with the bristles would hurt like crazy and be distracting - injurious, maybe. If you're strong enough, you can lay the brush across the larynx and crush it [assuming your attacker can't back up and get away] - that means no breathing after a very short time. Essentially, read up on the kubotan, a Japanese weapon of self-defense of about the same size as a hairbrush. Barring pointed ends, anything you can do with a kubotan, you can do with a hairbrush.

    Does that answer your question?
    I have found that my brain is like flypaper - it catches things and holds on to them, even if they're unrelated or currently irrelevant.

    She's terrified that someoen else's gun might not have been maintained and cleaned properly? She knows the tell to signal you have a gun in your bag? Is she aroused by that rubbing hard steel through leather? If the person has a badge that makes her/his gun less scary?

    This person has an active imagination. I would be afraid she'd get worse after a glass of wine.

    The part that does make me a little nervous is that non-badged carriers are MUCH more careful about what shows than some off-duty police.

    I've had some concerns expressed by members of my family that my generator is too large, and I don't need it anyway.

    That's what I think as well. Remember, people believe others are like themselves....think about what that says about her.

    you can get really badly hurt by a hairbrush - especially the round, shape-you-hair-with-a-dryer kind!
    and she's wrong.
