When can I stop carrying?

[protoolman]

My Brother in law was Special Forces in the Navy. I'll ask him for you. Oh wait, I think he said he was in Special SERVICES which is where they put the sea going rates only when they're on shore duty. They're the guys that hand out basketballs at the gym and such. Special Forces-Special Services, I get mixed up!

Well, this thread has 31 posts and I still don't entirely know what it is about.

My money is on it being alcohol related....been there-done that myself many years ago.
I've seen him around on various gun forums for years. Sometimes he uses different names but you can tell right off that it's the same guy.....I remember that once upon a time, he posted as "R/J/S Ret Navy", and liked to refer to himself as "the tip of the spear"....Reading between the lines for the last 10-12 years, I am fairly sure that he really is some sort of ex-Navy. So who knows, maybe he was some sort of spec-ops guy too....Seems that he has a couple of Ruger rifles, and knows his way around a Mini-30 about as well as anyone...so...

To answer the question: “When can I stop carrying.” The answer is easy. Just stop.

As for other problems? Those are more difficult to answer.

 

[stonebuster]

Well that was strange.

 

[themousethatroared]

Well, before the thread took a strange turn, I thought the correct answer to the riddle would be:

"From my cold dead hands."

or

Never.

"Transition" to the opposite gender and the assassins will not recognize you. Get a job as a knight at Medievel Times so that you can wear heavy armor all day at work. Start doing 'chair tai chi" and lose so much weight in 30 days that no one will know it is still you. Hire a homeless person to impersonate you and once that person is killed you will be off the hit list.

I think that this is enough suggestions to solve your problem.

I guess with out making any assumptions...
I have no bounty on my head and no body is out to get me and I carry pretty much every day and often when I'm at home and when I'm at home and not carrying a pistol is about 10-15ft away at the most.

Blume, in your current condition with your ankle perhaps you need an ankle holster to accommodate the need for an easily accessible pistol

I would have just said... "After"

And leave the rest to interpretation.

After my long stint in the CIA and the joint liaison work with MI6 along with that unfortunate incident with the Sheik’s wives in Rangoon there are multiple bounties on my head by 27 different entities in 40 countries. I figure the best way to deal with it is go on social media and tell everyone because as we all know the internet is anonymous and wholly impenetrable. And will confuse any would be assassin to no end having them target some Fudd in Minnesota rather than me.

But regardless carrying is necessary and I’ve had to off a few assassins from time to time. In order to increase my firepower I currently carry two 8 shot detective specials in that awesome .30 Super Carry round (the ones with the depleated thorium tips). The Dick Specials are Teflon lined and lubed with WD-40 to get more velocity out of the killer rounds which we all know to be the most effective handgun cartridge ever. Hope that helps the OP get a sense of perspective towards what he needs to do. If he needs more information go to Oplan 6969 section 69 paragraph 1.d (a) 3C and it’ll tell him what SCARFOR recommends he do.

I saw a guy on a dock bragging about being a Navy Seal... He got so obnoxious that someone pushed him in the water.
The guy started thrashing and screaming that he couldn't swim.
He got pulled out of the water and slunk away to his car and hasn't been seen at the dock ever since

Around1966 I was working the mid shift at the Post Office APO/FPO collection center and on the waterfront when I could snag an opening, what was called a Social Security job. . One day while working on the waterfront there was this little punk telling a huge black longshoreman how oppressed he was. The black dude says, "I own a Cadillac car, I own my own home and I'm paying tuition for two kids one in college and the other in a private school and you tell me I'm oppressed? He then picked up, "The Mouth" and pitched him into San Francisco Bay. He damn near drowned before someone threw him something that would float. IIRC, the year was 1966.

You need to go to Catholics Anonymous and recover from being fed the catholic Kool-Aid



Wait.... are you a Catholic or a Cadillac

Never got thrown in the harbor, but I once rode a bicycle into Los Angeles harbor.

It was a dark and foggy night. The lights at the end of the pier tried valiantly to penetrate the gloom but failed. As I rode along counting cranes so I would know when the end was neigh, suddenly I was airborne. As I sailed through the fog I could only hope jaws wasn't waiting to devour me. (Oh wait that was a few decades before the movie came out).

Suddenly I was submerged. The old (well at the time it was only about four months, but whose going to ruin a good story with facts) training kicked in and I made my way to the surface.

Alas, the fog was so thick I couldn't see the pier. As I was about to panic a SEAL arrived in time to give me a helping hand.

I'll never forget that life altering experience and thank my stars for forlorn arf arf of a heaven sent seal (actually a sea lion, but whose counting).

Post script, I never saw my savior again as he/she slid into the water and swam away into the night. The bicycle was never recovered from Davy Jones locker. And I found out they moved the darned cranes earlier that day.

This has been interesting. I didn't use to carry, but I've had to since 1 Jan 2000 because my telekinesis power quit working. Probably had something to do with that party the night before.

Dontcha hate when that happens???

 

[Fox Mike]

I believe that if I were that concerned I wouldn't be asking questions on a Forum of any kind. I would become invisible. Perhaps a secure place, like a witness protection location.

 

[M118LR]

It's been fun, but you only die once, unless you live in fear.

Even putting gang bangers away that were terrorizing the neighborhood gets you different treatment.I got phone calls from the corrections department the day those gangbangers were released. They asked if I wanted a squad car at the house. I stated that I'd call for one a little slower than I did the first time if those gangbangers decided to return to My House.

Edit Some days I wonder if all the years of violence just attracts folks in search of violence?

Sounds like you are probably worth more dead than alive

As long as I'm breathing GMA gets all the Government checks. She will probably stuff me in the freezer and keep collecting as long as it's feasible. Then the kids will drop me into cold water and claim I went for a swim and nobody knows what happened to me.

 

[GunnyGene]

Yeah, but I've learned to live with my disability. Just glad I was able to acquire a number of prosthetics in the last 26 years.

 

[M118LR]

So now that all the Internet folks that want to post jabs, since they have never had to protect their families from actual threats in their entire lifetimes. How many other folks want to be just like them? Sometimes it's better to let the sheep have enough rope to hang themselves. Now they can Prattle how they did things differently.

Who is laughing now posers.

If you have never done dirty deeds ?

 

[Goldstar225]

M118LR, just how much is that bounty? Asking for a friend.....

 

[Watertender]

2 well used goats, a camel with dementia and a torn fez...

 

[Jeepnik]

2 well used goats, a camel with dementia and a torn fez...

Heck, might be worth it. I could give those to my kid and he could go back to Afghanistan and trade them for an AK.

 

[M118LR]

Depends on what time frame and what organization.

Guess your friends question would depend if it was 1970 or 2026. The value of money has changed over that time.

The scope of those that would pay such a bounty has also changed.

So I'd tell your friend to be more concerned what the cartel is offering if he/she did things to interrupt their flow of cash.

Could be more pressing Nowadays.
JMHO YMMV.

I forgot the peekaboo hajib with sanitary slits for sidewalk elimination. That way you can go on the go. No toilet paper included

Did you notice all the comments from folks that have done nothing and want to tell everyone that they can do nothing. Nothing from nothing is nothing. But you may be forced to listen to their opinions on the internet. Invite them to a meet and greet and watch them scatter like roaches when you turn on the light. JMHO YMMV.

You wouldn't happen to have a brother named Von Hayes, do you?

Wait. ARE you Von Hayes???

 

[M118LR]

So all those internet folks that have been fortunate enough to never have taken a life, well their opinions are far more relevant than a blooded combat veteran. Not to mention that they will be the loudest voices you hear on the forum.
