    The first thing my dad asked my neighbors when I moved here (and my last place in Bethlehem) was whether I needed a gun for protection. I think the really old people said no at both places. Honestly, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea, but I still have no interest in owning a gun. I'd probably get a security system before a gun.

    How about a gun and a security system? There is noting wrong with owning a gun, IF the person has the good sense to use & store it properly.

    p.s. I have a yard sign for a candidate in my yard too, but I wouldn't shoot someone for taking it.

    Other than maybe trying to shoot one when I was little (skeet shooting or whatever my dad and brother did), I have never used a gun. I wouldn't feel comfortable having one in my house since I don't know how to use it, and would only get one if I had taken a course or something in how to handle it properly.

    They do give lessons at some gun shops & have their own practice ranges.
    Nobody should have a gun if they don't feel completely confident they could
    handle themselves & the weapon. Just saying.

    I suspect you have more than half a brain. If you do you can own a gun.

    You just have to remember which end is the dangerous one and you too can own and use a firearm.

    But wait, there's more!

    If you choose to buy a firearm, some shops will throw in a firearms safety course. Purchase required!

    And, if you call in the next 15 minutes you might be eligible to purchase a handsome hand tooled leather or nylon holster (styles may vary) and get a free box of bullets, too!

    Call now! Operators are standing by!

    Learn to play a musical instrument....


    Violinist's right to bear arms

    A concert violinist has been given a gun permit so he can protect his £6million Stradivarius violin.

    Matteo Fedeli, 36, travels all round Italy with his rare instrument and has been given police permission to protect it with a a 357 Smith and Wesson Magnum.

    He said he also has a team of bodyguards wherever he goes with the instrument who plan his route meticulously and make sure he is not followed. And he also has an armed escort as he travels to his concerts.

    "Thankfully I've never had to use my gun - but a 357 Magnum is certainly a useful deterrent," he said.

    "I did once have a concert though where the crowd started to get a bit close to me and the violin and my bodyguards quickly made a human barrier around me.

    "Anyone would tried to steal a rare instrument would be a bit silly though because they have satellite alarms built in and it's not as if they could just go and sell it at an auction without being noticed anyway."



    OI!

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.
