fwiw, I think it's good to have the Infowars point of view posting in here as Flagdude, as a way to help us all understand all views. That doesn't mean it will ever become worthwhile to argue with him. I recommend either reading it and leaving it alone, or just ignore it.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

My family is 90% bow hunting now though so even less shooting.

Exactly. Trying to understand people you don't agree with is always good. What should be said is actually trying to understand them.Dirty: Why {shouldn't Grand Valley State} not just go the Miami way to fund DI? Rob banks and sell drugs.
bigmrg74: GVSU has some speed, but not that kind of speed.

On one facebook post of the story of the by a local TV station the comments were filled with "I hope the father doesn't blame himself" and "this was a freak accident" -- uh, no. It was entirely preventable and the dumb *** father should blame himself.

Originally posted by BassAle View PostI know I've posted it on here, but I have a friend that took a gun safety class and bought a handgun for home defense (why, I don't really know -- half my neighbors don't bother locking their doors) -- the "instructor" (and the person he purchased the gun from) was someone that my friends husband met at work. He didn't believe in using the safety on a gun, because it could take too long to turn off. He also wouldn't walk to the mailbox at the end of his driveway without a loaded gun, and had loaded guns stashed all over his house (with the safety off, I'm sure). His wife also carried a loaded gun in her purse (safety off!!). This nut-job is out there teaching other people about "gun safety" (my friend and his husband are smart enough to know this guy is a nut-job).Originally posted by WiscTJKI'm with Wisko and Tim.Originally posted by Timothy AOther than Wisko McBadgerton and Badger Bob, who is universally loved by all?

Originally posted by Wisko McBadgerton View PostAlong with other misconceptions already posted about various gun functions here, I'd guess the safety thing for this dude is related to the fact that modern handguns, (Glocks for example) are not equipped with safeties at all. One reason these are popular is in fact the notion that turning off the safety (as on a 1911 type gun) is one more step you have to remember to perform while under extreme pressure. They are quite safe to carry in a proper holster.Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

Originally posted by bigblue_dl View PostI think in rural areas, you're going to have a hard time finding people that care about hearing gunshots. It is probably hard to imagine for people that don't have the experience of living in an area like that, or for people that don't hunt, but it really is just a normal thing, especially during hunting season.
