I have a TASER.

I live in Mexico, and is not as dangerous as you would think. Is rather safe where I live.


There is a safe part of Mexico? I though even Cancun was starting to see Cartel violence now.

Being as I cannot own a firearm in the state of Hawaii, I have a knife tacked to the underside of the shelf on my headboard.
You can, it's just difficult.

It would require me to become a US citizen, and I don't find that strong enough of a reason to do so.

You're a felon?

Nope, see above.

This is my question.

Hawaii's restrictions can't be worse than Illinois. In fact I know they aren't. Hawaii is a may issue state, Illinois was a no issue state.


Even here in California we are a may issue state. I just had to leave my Rifle in gun jail for 10 days before I picked it up, oh and paid 40 dollars to the DOJ to fluff her retirement fund. That is about it.

It can't be that bad in Hawaii. If it is, I know where to turn my attention to in the fight for gun rights.

Nah, it's just my circumstance. Hawaii requires you to be a US citizen and I don't meet that criteria. I have a few friends that own/collect.

It's a federal mandate by the BATFE. So, it's not like moving will change that.

I live in a restaurant, so I'm surrounded by weapons. Out of all of them I'd have to go with our old cast iron frying pan or the old Chinese cleaver we inherited from the previous owners.

You can be a non-citizen permanent resident and own guns.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

I have a mobile phone, which I can use to call the police.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

I have a machete, an axe an a hunting knife.

Machete and knife are for when I go hiking and the axe is firewood.

Like I said, it's just my circumstance. May remedy that in the next year or so but we'll see.

My dad recently gave me his .357 as a birthday present. I keep and loaded in my closet but I've never fired it yet and would be lying if I said I wasn't a little afraid of it.

  • 12.14.2012 11:14 AM PDT

Most people in this thread are kids lying out of their ass "I OWN A KATANA, AND 12 OTHER MACHETES THAT I TOTALLY KNOW HOW TO USE"

Or they own useless ornaments and think that in a break in, could actually use them.

OT: A pair of safety scissors.

I have a M9 pistol and a Remington 870, but the 870 is used for hunting and sporting clays so most of the time I keep it at my friend's ranch where we hunt and shoot.

Roll with the hits, not under them.

No, you can't have it. But thanks for asking!

I run a Doberman rescue. My home is insulated by multiple layers of fanged freedom loving friends who would happily eat anything that threatens our livestock or family. Our rear is guarded by woods filled with wild bears and cougars. The frontal assault would require traversing a wide open plain and I hold the high ground. For zombie assault preparedness, we have a variety of large scattershot projectile weapons, as well as more precision oriented implements. Most importantly, we maintain close relationships with our neighbors, all of whom, save for some hapless Californians down the mountain, are a well armed and well aimed lot of roughneck ranchers and farmers. We have food security, water security, fuel security, and an abundance of stocks for our projectile assortment. There's also a good amount of heavy equipment for all sorts of fortification purposes. Among our neighbors we have several people versed in medicine, both traditional and Chinese, and I am a good combat medic in a pinch. Farmers got it going on for the apocalypse. We figure the Californians will make for good use in case of alien invasion, paranormal attack, or good old fashioned zombie bait. I'm pretty sure that even if we had thermal imaging alien baddies after us, we'd put up a good resistance and possibly be able to save some of the children and women of breeding age.

Heh. I read too much science fiction.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Firearms? No, I don't need them to feel safe in my country.

  • 12.14.2012 11:28 AM PDT

Allons-y!

Firearms? No, I don't agree with guns. I have a decorative sword that might be able to prick someone, and half a pool cue.


^Wat. We start out with the same three words!

I would honestly suggest that you have your father take you to the range and you get familiar with it. Being uncomfortable/afraid of a firearm is one of the leading issues behind gun-owner accidents.
