It is what they all say I see it nearly everyday at work. Male spouses nearly always blame their partner for being a lying, vindictive, jealous psycho bitch it is hardly ever their fault. I have seen women with a swollen black and blue head and face and their partner claims “she did that to herself to try and get me in trouble”. It just doesn't wash and there's no smoke without fire.

^ But, is your protection bullet proof? That's the question. Smiley_emoticons_smile

It's funny to imagine you standing your ground in that thing while your wife tries to whack you with a fly swatter.

If you want to be truly bulletproof you need to get some of the “magic” underwear the Mormons wear.

You're probably just kidding around, but could be kinda on to something.

We wouldn't have to worry about crazies and criminals and irresponsible gun owners causing the deaths of innocents with guns if the innocents simply protected themselves, right?

If the technology behind this baby can be improved to extend its mobility-enhancing duration, voila! AdrenaSuits for the whole family - perfect for outings, school, even lounging around the house if you work from home as an independent narcotics salesperson or the like.

Though still in research and testing phases, the AdrenaSuit is one of the latest in low-profile offensive/defensive body armor designs for military, law enforcement, and (fingerscrossedsomedaymaybe) private use. It is a full-length, bulletproof (and knife-proof) bodysuit with an internal system of "veins" housing a magic potion of hormones and neurotransmitters that (supposedly) safely stimulate and maintain the wearer's fight-or-flight response for up to 30 minutes at a time. When activated--via one of three release buttons at the neckline, waistline, or left ankle--the veins release the chemical cocktail onto the skin, it penetrates the pores, and, within 20 seconds, the body is primed for peak strength, speed, and power. The effect presents itself as perhaps a less hyperbolic version of Bill Harkin's superpower on the SyFy series Alphas.

That sounds like something out of a comic book but its actually real?! Shit!
Just throwing this out there for conversation.

It wasn't that long ago that firearms in the hands of children was no big deal, in fact it was common place. We did not have the issues then that we have now. Even when I was a child I was able to take a firearm to school. People did not freak out, I did not have the cops called on me. I was not suspended. I was allowed to use the handgun in my presentation and I was graded on it. No big deal.

Fast forward 40 years and we have mass shootings, firearms are frowned upon by many, children are expelled for wearing a shirt with the pic of a gun on it or even biting there poptart into the shape of a handgun.

I just dont get it. Well I kinda do. Do we all remember when P.H.Sherril went on the first shooting spree in OKC? He lived only a couple blocks from me by the way. What did we do? The media latched onto it and plastered it all over every channel on the tv for days. It was so talked about that they even coined the phrase, Going Postal. I think that was the turning point. The media gave that sick individual his 15 minutes [ok it was more like 15 weeks] of fame. I think that was the point where these twisted misfits decided that they could make their mark in the world and their name would go down in the history books.
Maybe my thinking is off base,maybe not. What say you all?

Yep, I remember them days. In high school after Christmas we would be in the parking lot comparing all the new shotguns and the like. School security guard came over, showed off his new hardware. Bell rang, we all put the guns back in the gun rack and we went to class. Nobody went to jail, nobody died, nobody thought anything about it.
Now we have retards on the street.
I remember all those trucks with full gun racks in the back windows back then. Its hard to believe that windows wern't busted and guns stolen, but I dont remember ever hearing about even one case where that happened. That would never fly in this day and age.
Well you let the niggers get out of control and the Dukes Of Hazzard days are long lost memories, boys. Sorry to tell you, the times have changed.

The world has been full of fuck nuts from the beginning of time, just different circumstances.
So if you have a problem with how its changed go shoot something up and get your message heard.
When I was 12 and in the Boy Scouts we had a rifle shooting merit badge. I went hunting with my Dad and Grandfather and a few of their friends out at the tracking station at 8 yrs old and the rifles were leaning up against the corner loaded. Me and my friends would take our .22's and go target practicing at 13 in the sand pits with no adult supervision and we all respected the gun.
In high school I and many others had our rifles in our unlocked trucks in the school parking lot and I remember bringing mine in to show Mr. Kalgren my science teacher who showed me quite a few things about the nature of deer and their habitats.

The world is very different now but I believe that me showing my daughter how to shoot is a good path for her. We took apart my old .22 a few weeks ago and put it back together. She knows where the safety is and how to check it to see if its loaded the right way.
I am taking her to the range in the next couple of weeks after I feel she can be safe with it without a doubt. She is also very excited about it. and I told her to never mention it at school at least until she gets a bit older.
Education is the key and if they learn young they will respect it.
I would never trust any kid with a gun until they passed my own personal test.

I also do not give a fuck what anyone thinks about it I know my kids will be safe around guns and know how to respect them. I worry more about them whacking each other over the head with that stupid waffle bat they found than anything.
I wish I had been able to do that with my father maggot.

Gun safety should be taught in schools especially the inner city schools. It would be a start.
Good for you maggot. I agree education is key. I am in the process of working with my 8 year old grandson. I started him shooting/handling firearms several years ago. At this point I have bought him 3 firearms and he has learned a great deal about firearms and shooting. He knows the saftey rules of a firearm and obides by them. [He is also a pretty good shot.]I sometimes try and trick him by handing his unloaded 22 boltaction rifle, with the bolt closed. He will stop me and tell me NO Papa open it so I can see it is unloaded. He knows that a firearm should never change hands without first showing clear. That is just one example.
When I am in the shop working on firearms it is not uncommon for him to ask me if it would be ok if he cleans his guns. I usually let him but keep 1 eye on him at all times. I believe it is better to teach them at a young age so it takes the WOW factor out of it.

That's how I grew up and I believe I am ok. My kids are also ok, doing quite well actually and both grew up in a house with loaded guns.
Looking through some old pics I found this one of the grandson [I cant remember if I posted it before or not] at I believe it was 6 years old. If you look at the rifle you will see the bolt is open and it is empty, the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and he is nowhere near the trigger. The target might not look the best, but keep in mind his age and the fact that I make him shoot freehand, no rests. He was shooting at a distance of about 20 yards+-.

Knowledge is power.
Six, F.U. & Maggot, I don't think anyone is talking about you guys specifically or the many like you that have properly educated kids on how to handle weapons.

People are referring to the braindead morons like the guy in St.Paul, MN who earlier this year watched his 4 year old kill his 2 year old with a loaded gun the youngster found under his dad's pillow. When cops went to investigate, they found 8 more loaded weapons around the house, many of which were in reach of the children.

The guy was one of the many Hmong people here who apparently live in constant fear of one another (as many have loaded guns in their houses).
Yeah, it's nice to wax nostalgic about what used to be (and what some current gun owners still practice) but a lot of US citizens own guns, their kids are growing up playing Modern Warfare, and they don't have that respect for guns that prior generations had. I doubt you (and I mean the general "you") will have any luck turning back the hands of time in that regard.
