I prefer to ask my intruders to politely wait while I reload my musket, instead of daring to dirty my blade. It is sharp and I may poke myself!There's good reasons that people used to carry swords right along with those !![]()
Are you saying my black belts in amerado-te and tae-bo are not valid? What about my combat qi and systema fighting certifications?There was a term that rattled around here for a while a few years back.
"Mall Ninja"
Anybody remember that one?
may we ask WHY you aren't allowed regular firearms?I not allowed to own regular fire arms and black powder type weapons ownership is either banned here in California or cannot be mailed here ditto for arrow launching air guns.

I got a dui while going bonkers on mecdically prescribed steroids.
It landed me an involintary trip to the nut house for like two hours.
After being released from jail, I was transported in shackles to the aforementioned nut house.
I explained to the Dr. I was fine and was released after like 2 hours, but I think that counts as an involintary comitment.
I'd have to write that on a firearms aplication form.
Also even though I was in tbe U.S. Army, and shot target pratice at the range as a kid and teenager with my Pa
my firearms saftey skills must be lacking because I shot a hole in my TV at christmas with my spear gun.
Elvis shot his TV once and he was an Honorary US Marshal.On the other hand, if you shot your TV with a speargun, maybe you don't really qualify for a projectile weapon?
Thank you very muchElvis shot his TV once and he was an Honorary US Marshal.
I have always been curious as to what the process is to clean up and apartment after you have stabbed or shot a guy.I prefer to ask my intruders to politely wait while I reload my musket, instead of daring to dirty my blade. It is sharp and I may poke myself!
There are companies you can hire to do it. I saw a documentary about that once. The people in it had seen it all. The photos of some of the scenes were pretty mild but they also had one where a 500 pound guy had died in his recliner in the middle of summer and wasn't found for over a month. When the natural process of decay got to the end of the bloat stage it distributed him all over the living room.I have always been curious as to what the process is to clean up and apartment after you have stabbed or shot a guy.
I mean I rent. I assume I wouldn't get my bond back.
