Guns and Alcohol: Gun Owners Drink More and Take More Risks

I can't really blame you too much for that, if they are feral act aggressive and pose a threat. However if my gentle lab accidentally got out and wandered into a neighbors yard and he plugged her just because it was his yard, he might die. I love that dog that much. Maybe not kill but I would beat him half to death.

Of course now if it happened all the time and h gave repeated complaints.

It's easy enough to tell the strays seeing how they run in packs and live their entire short life outside. Those are the ones I shoot when they come in or near my yard. And complaining does zero good. The cops here don't do jack. .22's are cheap enough not to waste my time complaining.

Someone should do something about the roving packs of wild dogs in Ukrainian (and Russian and Belarus) cities. Ridiculous, dangerous. I have never seen anything like it.

Dog is good eating! Evidently, RUB folks are not as bright as most of the world's population in not letting a protein source go to waste.

Your about a post or two away from being lumped in with the likes of evylyn, teddy b, and gegel. Think about that for a minute or two before you reply.

And I'm the one who gets banned for baiting.

They have stray dogs all over Bangkok. They call them Soi dogs (Soi means small street in Thai.) They just lay there all day on the sidewalk waiting for handouts. Never seen one of them get mean, although I'm sure it happens.

Iv'e heard some nightmarish stories about the packs of dogs that run around in Russia and Ukraine. I know that right before last summers Euro Cup in Ukraine that the government spent some money ridding a few cities of those dog packs.

Evidently RUB's are much too busy wearing shoes than to learn about nutritional value of eating dog meat.

Change your flag to Russia, Ukraine, or Belarus. Maybe your luck will change.

How do you know I wasn't complimenting you for your intellectual debating skills that you continually share with others on here?

When do guns and booze mix? Fishing and hunting trips for starters. And if you don't shoot at least one road sign on your way to your favorite fishing spot then you failed.

I drove an '83 Subaru GL wagon for years... 4WD, easy on the gas, and with the carrier on top you could pack enough gear for a week or better. I would keep a fifth of Cuervo right behind the passenger seat for easy pickings, a beer between my legs and shoot road signs with my left hand out the window while doing all of 65 mph (about as fast as that car would go). Fun times.

Open carry is idiotic. Concealed carry is the only way to protect the general population by the participation of very few people.

The more people who are permitted to carry (whether they do or not) the lower the crime rate. In Vermont, 100% of people CAN carry loaded, concealed firearms. Not ALL do. It is wonderfully safe here. Perhaps, Marvin, you could explain how good it would feel if you could go to St. Louis and walk anywhere you want, anytime you want without any fear for your family, children and yourself. It really is a nice feeling of freedom.

Hate to break it to you Gary, but carrying a gun doesn't equal freedom. Let me educate you since your knowledge range doesn't extend past your paradise:

See, in the bad areas of St. Louis, or any other city with a high crime rate, people carry guns. even though they are not supposed to. Folks that live there have them to protect themselves from the wolves, but even with a gun you're safety isn't guaranteed. Because there, people aren't afraid to try you, they will take that gun you hold so dear to you and shoot you with it, or they will shoot you first. Folks that live in those neighborhoods are poor, they can barely afford food, do you think permitting everyone to carry a gun would solve that? If your logic had any merit, then every city in America would be 100% conceal and carry. All you would succeed in doing is adding more bloodshed to an already nasty situation.

I feel safe in the places I go without a gun, if I need to go to the bad part of town, I go during the day and not at night. I don't seek out trouble just so I can use a gun to get out of it. I just got back from East Saint Louis, now that place is crazy, but had no issues. I did what I had to do and left, no fuss or muss. It might not be as awesome as your precious Vermont, but we have good people there and I am proud to say I was raised by my mother in the city of St. Louis.

Say Gary, how safe would you think Pakistan is? I mean they have very liberal laws around the constitutionally guaranteed right to keep and bear arms. Much less restrictive than anywhere in the US - yes, even less restrictive than Vermont. So that means that it must be the safest place on earth with an unequaled feeling of freedom. Do you believe that it is?
