Men were parked on a ridge above the road, pulling guns out of the car. As I'm thinking, "Cool! They're going hunting." I hear, "*gasp* They got guns!" After I picked up my jaw, I explained to my wife that they were hunters, "going to shoot little birdies!"<br /><br />People need to quit the knee-jerk reaction, and determine what a "man with a gun" is really up to before sounding the alarm.Crotalusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-11561933917392878882010-01-16T10:21:56.716-05:002010-01-16T10:21:56.716-05:00@D.W.

Aside from his refusal to allow the empty holster protest (not, as I frequently pointed out, that I thought he could do much about it, seeing as the campus cops were limited, to about one guy patrolling at a time), he also managed to irritate most of the folks who donated to scholarship funds for this school by focusing his Scholarship Banquet (a dinner for the donors and the student recipients) speech on, I kid you not, the evils of capitalism.

Until recent embarrassing events, USAF nuc security was pretty damn solid. If this guy is old enough and has a SAC background, his level of hyper vigilance will be way up there. He may have even locked it down as an excuse to run an exercise; I did the same thing given the opportunity. Would you rather he just say "Aw shucks, it's just the locals" and leave that as an opening? Always assume your opponents are at least as sneaky as you are, dressing up as hunters is a great way to get bad guys in close without being commented on.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07682952829635407505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-76923582834142880332010-01-15T18:09:45.978-05:002010-01-15T18:09:45.978-05:00LOL- transplant AND Air Force... nuff said... sigh...LOL- transplant AND Air Force... nuff said... sigh...Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-69684226842263128132010-01-15T17:50:46.717-05:002010-01-15T17:50:46.717-05:00And there I was yesterday speculating about moving...And there I was yesterday speculating about moving to Texas while there still may be time to establish residency before it secedes.
