Here she is boys... my first real goal that i am going to work on.
Basically, in Texas, you can go out and get a CHL (concealed handgun license) when you are 21. I'll be 21 on December 13th, and my goal for poker is to have enough money (600 dollars or so) to pay for my CHL class and a pistol. The one i want is the Desert Eagle's little brother...the "Baby Eagle". It comes in 9mm, .40, and .45 caliber. My time frame is until january...thats when my buddy turns 21 and we are going to take the class together. so 600 bucks by january, cash out except for like 50 bucks or something, and build the br back up =)
=) =)
won a $3 dollar 27 person sng, 30 bucks, sooo if i have 400 to go, i'm already like 10% there!!!

And some gun quotes to end the blog...
"Taking my gun away because I might shoot someone is like cutting my tongue out because I might yell `Fire!' in a crowded theater."
-- Peter Venetoklis
As the Founding Fathers knew well, a government that does not trust its honest, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens with the means of self-defense is not itself worthy of trust. Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people.
-- Jeff Snyder

i'm going to be disappointed if the question is "why are you buying a gun" instead of "why are you buying such a big gun in the .45 when a .38 will do?" |

haha nice.. are you allowed to buy an actual desert eagle?
and ur quotes are pretty interesting, but living in australia i prefer the feeling of knowing no one has a gun and has the ability to kill me at any time. what do you need to self-defend yourself against if no one else has guns? sure people could beat you up but i'd rather a gun free society then one where everyone has a gun in their jackets
BUT if everyone else had a gun i'd definitely want one too, so if i lived in texas i'd get one asap @ 21st birthday, and a deagle looks good
btw, i've been speaking to some shipping companies and i'm waiting for a quote on that koala |

you get a free pistol with every bottle of jack daniels
But for real here is why i'm getting a gun...and hope i never have to use it...
self defense.
Living in a gun-free world is a great idea, but obv not realistic. All gun laws do is take the guns away from the good people. I want a gun so that if/when i get attacked i can defend my family/self. Think about it...Madman goes into Virginia Tech and kills 33 people...if someone has a pistol and kills him, maybe 3 people and him are shot and killed, and 30 lives are saved.
here is a very sad story about a lady whose family was murdered in a luby's restaurant a week after a bill was passed banning her from bringing a weapon into a restaurant type area.

criminals will always get guns. If they have a plan in there mind that says "i am going to go into this elementary school and kill as many 5-12 year olds as possible" they are not going to walk up to the sign saying "this is a gun free zone" and obey it. They are murders, they are not going to obey that sign. The only people who will are the already law abiding citizens.
i'm pro-2nd amendment.

The whole problem is that shit escaltes so fast in conflicts. Two guys get into a fight over something, one guy gets beaten up. The guy goes alittle crazy, and where as over here he might try to find something to hit the other guy with. Or do something else stupid. Over there the guns a nice and easy solution. And as everyones thinking like you, everyones gonna be trigger happy as hell. |

those quotes are retarded.
According to those statements we should have access to bombs i mean... "
Taking away my nuclear bomb because i might evaporate a city is like cutting my tongue out because I might yell `Fire!' in a crowded theater."

How many times have you been attacked where you needed a gun for self-defense? How likely do you see this ever happening? And be honest with yourself. It's pretty easy to avoid violence. Plus you know you cant just whip out a pistol and shoot someone in a parking lot and walk away. You're going to be arrested, youre going to have to get a lawyer to justify your actions, the family of the deceased may press charges, etc etc. Plus you have to live with the knowledge and visual impact of seeing someone die by your hands, it's not all hollywood you know. Might seriously have a profound impact on you.
Finally, about this whole Vtech massacre nonsense. Ok, if the students, who all look like students, start shooting guns, who the fuck is going to know who the badguy is? What happens when the cops show up after catching word that 6 people have been shot by a crazed gunman, and then they roll up on some kid with a bookbag and a flannel shirt with jeans holding a .45? Oh, well he just looks safe, cant be HIM on the shooting spree, move along men! What if youre the student 2 rooms from where the shooting begins and you jump out to save the day, but the guy in room 4 also gets the same idea, and the two of you meet in the hallway. Neither are your enemy, but how do you know? All you know is some kid is shooting. The whole fucking building would turn into a shooting gallery. Not to mention the aspect of multiple firearms discharging in a room full of plaster walls is only going to send bullets into the next building hitting people who werent even in harms way.
Uhg, clearly you havent thought any of this through and only think about that 1% chance some black dude is gonna break into your white neighborhood at 2am and rape your girlfriend after slitting your throat. Which by the way, a pistol is the worst self defense mechanism for home. Get a shotgun.
Finally, if youre so worried about being attacked by someone else with a firearm, therefore need one yourself, wtf do you think is going to happen when your attacker see's you pulling a pistol on him and he already has one? You think hes just gonna go "oh shit" and drop it? Fuck no, you have no endangered his life, he is gonna kill your ass just to protect himself! Your possession of a firearm is only inviting someone to shoot you first! 90% of attacks against you are going to come by surprise, your attacker, especially one with a pistol, will most likely already have the jump on you. |

because if they have a gun and i don't i'm fucked.
think about it, laws that take guns away are only going to take guns away from the law abiding citizens, not criminals. They're criminals, they break the law all the time and don't give two shits. So if the criminals have the guns and the inocent guy leaving work doesn't, and it takes the cops 4 1/2 minutes to get there, and he doesn't have a chance to call them since he's being held at gun point... he's done. I want a gun to protect my family if needed.
I would rather have my fate decided by a jury of 12 than be buried by 6 of my friends.
And i've already decided that if its between my life and his, i'm going to use my weapon.
Plus, as a more important reason, the whole reason that the founding fathers of America (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson Benjamin Franklin etc etc...) put the 2nd amendment in our constitution anyway is because they knew that our government would become corrupt eventually and it would be up to the citizens to bring in a new democracy which my nation was founded. Thats already fucked though... if we had to have another revolution we'd be going up against the US army with shotguns... it's the united states fucking army... we have to have access to the same weapons if we were to have a chance at bringing in fresh democracy...
i'm not supporting a revolutionary or anything, just a point i'm making.
Think of it like this....
If you sit down at a poker table you want to have the best advantage to win right? Winning = staying alive.
You going to sit down at a table with some big stack aggro regs, are you going to buy in for the minimum or maximum buyin?? the max obv. Why take a chance at someone taking your life?? show up prepared the best possible...
Someone said that if i killed someone in self defense i'd have to get a lawyer and go through court and get sued by the family and everything.
My life is fucking worth it!!!
I'd go through that rather than be dead imo!!!
I'm not going to lie, i've never been outside of the US, but out of the 12 people that posted, only 4 were from the US... so maybe you guys live in perfect countries where crime doesn't happen...but i live in a part of town where crime is evident. It recently had a bunch of government apartments built and there are a bunch of drugs/guns/gangs in the area. Within the last 2 months, my friend who lives a tenth of a mile away has had his house broken into, his brother was shot at, his cousin's car was broken in while visiting, and within the last 2 years my truck has been broken into twice...
With all this shit going around, i think that a gun is +EL (expected longevity or life) since i want to live and have a wife and kids and shit like that. |

Me w/o gun (Mw/oG) "wtf man! take it easy!! heres my wallet."
SD: "Wheres joor g/f i need me sum section 8 lovin"
Mw/oG: "No man, i'm not telling you, you need to go get some council, this addiction to crack is -EV... your spending all your money on crack wtf!"
Mw/oG = gets shot my gf is raped and killed for crack.
*Smash thru window*
SD: "Bitch give me joor money i need crack!"
Me with gun: "Joo dead!" *bang*
Me = alive
gf = alive not raped
I like scenario #2.
And i can't just get up and leave... I can't play baseball, have a job that will pay for rent, food, gas, etc, go to school and stuff all at the same time. I'm not in a point in my life where i can move to a better part of Texas... or i would, obv. But it just can't happen right now. |

uhm...okay...
I'm not gonna argue about getting a gun because getting a gun for "self defence" obviously tells me you are borderline retarded (or just very very stupid)
unless of course you realize how stupid the idea is and you just don't care.
In that case i'm not gonna argue about getting a gun because well...it simply won't change your level of stupidity
HOWEVER...
quoting oneself is quite...erm....lol-ish....
"If guns kill people, than pens make spelling errors.
-- eightfouro"
especially when the quote is such as the blog itself...rather stupid... |
