Stop saying wrong things and I'll stop correcting you and then we can all be happy!

Being an expert on Female Psychology I will help say what you really meant.

Please stop butting in and pointing out the fallacy of so many of my points . As a woman, my delicate persona can not handle being wrong. If you can't bask in my greatness and plus 1 everything I say ( which is important to my fragile self esteem), then please just don't reply.

Shoot da legs man

And hope you don't tear through the femoral artery, which passes fairly close to the skin on the front of the thighs.

Many of the people posting here seem to be ex- military. Aren't they trained to shoot to wound in certain circumstances?

No.

Ok you are right..Shooting to wound with a shotgun at close range would be hard.

You could wait until he turns to get away and shoot him in the buttocks.

Quite right!

Your avatar is most distracting btw!

No.

Oh dear. That explains the mentality here then. Mea culpa.

What's the castle doctrine? Too lazy to google.

Man's home is his castle.

I give you an A for effort, but as usual, an F for content.

I mean, I get why you do it. It's easier to respond to imaginary opinions that you make up in your head than actual opinions people are expressing to you. So I have to hand it to you. It's a pretty good strategy. It makes you look insane, but at least you get to walk away thinking you said something of significance.

We can pretend I was always against a homeowner legally owning a gun if you'd like. I don't want to ruin your delusions anymore. I apologize.

Except it's not a "break thru" of any kind. I don't think Teddy or I have ever been against a homeowner using/owning a gun for protection.

The fact that you consider that a breakthrough goes to show how little attention you pay to what people are actually saying in their arguments.

You're correct, we've been saying this same thing all along, it's just fallen on deaf ears.

Don't tell me I'm correct. It just feeds my low self esteem.

You should've just went with a letter.

And add a +1! WooHoo!

Or a picture.

How sad.

It is based on English common law which was codified in the 17th century. "An Englishman's home is his castle."

I know, and I still think it sad.

correct. we were never trained to kill for our country, only to wound for our country. and everyone was an expert shot.
