An Armed Society is a Polite Society....

From 5NBCDFW

YeeHaaaa, Pardners, the US is fast becoming the gun mad society that has been predicted.  In this case, Black Friday shoppers were treated to a shopper pulling a gun (Mr. Gunn) on another shopper (Mr.Impolite) who allegedly punched him in the face while they were waiting in line at a Sears store.  The man who is alleged to have punched the gun toter was in such a hurry to get those bargains on Thurday Evening that he cut in line and verbally abused other shoppers.

That behaviour caused someone who claims he was punched to pull a gun, scattering the other shoppers, including  Mr. Impolite, who hid behind a refrigerator.


Police Sgt. Rob Carey tells the San Antonio Express-News that the man with the gun had a permit to carry the weapon and isn't being charged with a crime.

Lovely, the get away with murder laws are making it a capital offense to be rude!

  1. Who got killed? Mr. Impolite--as you label him, and correctly so--punched a good citizen, and the good citizen defended himself without firing a shot.

    Laci, given the threats that you've made to me, I can see why you don't want people carrying guns. You're full of rage, and you fear those of us who have the ability to fend off your attacks.

  2. So a man used a gun, without pulling the trigger, to halt a physical assault in progress ... and you are unhappy about it? You and Mike and others regularly predict that these types of encounters always end with someone dying.

    But instead, it ended just as most DGU end - peacefully. I suppose you would be happier for someone to get beaten senseless and having to have stitches at the ER. Because, by God, it is always less violent when you don't add guns to the mix.

      C'mon, FL. You know better than that.

    2. Honestly Mike, I don't. That is exactly the message you try to convey with every posting - or it sure seems to be:

      That nearly everyone carrying a gun is just itching for an opportunity to pull that trigger and that most are, what is the phrase you like to use, 'hidden criminals'?

    3. FL, You first said ALL, to which I objected. Now you've rephrased it to read NEARLY EVERYONE. Neither one is even close to what I say. In my wildest assertion, I've said 50% of lawful gun owners are unfit.

    4. Mikeb, you're not listening. We know what you really believe. You're not fooling anyone.

    5. Unlike yourselves, rational people can understand that mental invalids (such as Greg and his minions) must be disarmed for the safety of mankind and the preservation of civilized society.

    6. E.N., you claim such superiority in yourself and your positions, but who's listening? As far as can be determined from your comments, you are likely sitting in your parents' basement making comments when you're not playing video games. Your constant calls for authoritarianism certainly reveal a perverse view of humanity.

    7. Ok, Mike. Sorry if I exaggerated your claims. It sure seems like that is what you believe. That is fine, but the point still remains that a licensed carrier used his gun to stop and assault, hurt no one in the process, and he still somehow did the wrong thing in your eyes.

    8. You could say the same thing about any brandishing - no one got hurt. Yet, many of them are unnecessary and some are even criminal.

  3. Pooch, if being rude were a capital offense you'd be in prison with no eligibility for parole. You should learn to quit talking out of your poop-chute.

    1. How is one to argue with a mental defective (such as yourself) who makes absurd exclamations in favor of ludicrous notions, such as "individual liberty" and mass-armament? Stop masquerading as intelligent and go back to bed with your cousin, beat rocks together while chanting, amuse yourself with boom-sticks, or whatever degenerate redneck occupy their time with.
