If that's the case, then tell me how you are going to defend your home from an intruder with your gun. Please.

Actually, I'll give you that- that is a good point. If I lived in a very rural area my views would change a bit as the risk of collateral damage goes down dramatically and the proximity of law enforcement and other help increases proportionally. My scenario focuses more on urban suburbia.

Where did you read about that, and what do you mean by 40's germany? Isn't Brian(nuttyskier) from arizona? Where he be?

M3-Carry liscense!

How is a gun in my bedside table going to protect my family while I'm at work all day or we're out of the house? Just curious.

That's why many states have CC permits. I gives the person the choice to be able to defend themselves. That's a Right that will come under attack with an Obama administration.

M3,
I am very surprised by your opinions. I am a female, with a carry permit (meaning that I do have a license to carry)and the reason I supplied on my application for desire to carry was personal protection. The sheriff and a police officer signed my application.
I am a single mom, a hunter, I belong to a hunting club and my children both hunt.
I am capable, willing and able to protect my children and myself if an intruder should enter our home. My fiance also has a carry permit. I am glad to know that if I did not have a man in the house to protect me, I would be able to protect myself.It's not a fantasy.In today's world it is an unfortunate reality. I would much rather have a "chance" of survival instead of none at all should a person break in or even attack me when I'm not at home while holding a barrel on me.

2 Points Sanity!!!   LOL

I went to a friend's house for the first time as a 12 yo kid. I saw a .22 propped in the corner and asked about it. His father only said "it's loaded" and then watched my face.

It never came up again.

My parents had tought me about guns and I'm guessing he could see that.

I appraise real estate and I go through peoples houses every day. A lot of people keeps guns around and a perp would have a problem if they went into one of these houses.

I was in a big rambling house awhile back that was owned by an older guy. He had guns everywhere. Even a .22 rifle barrel first in the umbrella stand mixed in with a bunch of umbrellas by the front door.

Good for you, Sanity.

Obama is against CC laws and protecting yourself in your own home.

Joel, At least they accept your pro Nautique views over at TheMalibuCrew.com.

Is this off topic or did I post in the wrong place?

Come Eric, McCain really needs your Ohio vote.

If you're just sitting on the sidelines, why not pipe up and show your support for your candidate? If this thread moved even one person to vote for your candidate, or motivated one person who was not going to vote to vote, then why not chip in? This is the most important race in American history. Regardless of who you are, you should do everything in your power to make sure everyone who can does vote.

This is the most important race in American history.

Why do people keep saying that? Carter/Regan was far more important. Well I guess it's important because we are on the verge of electing Obama which is going to come with many surprises for many of his supporters.

I bet homeless amputee Barbie Doll sites are talking election! LOL

Whichever side anyone is on, I do appreciate those who have the 'sand' to express their opinion. Political correctness will be the end of us all?!!?   

Dedicated CorrectCraftfans,
Didnt anyone ever tell you not to wrestle with a pig, something about you both get dirty and he enjoys it. One way or another in 6 days the arguement will be over and four years from now both sides are going to be sure they were vindicated that either thier guy won and did a great job, or that the clown who beat thier guy screwed things up but good. Two things are for sure though no matter who wins, abortion will still be legal to some extent. and I will still have my guns to some extent. To change either would put a vocal and well funded minority into a rage and result in a turnover of those in power. I tend to ignore any candidates who want me to focus on either of these issues.

As for trying to change peoples political minds on a boat forum, I continue to think its not a great place to do so, not that it isnt a good goal but why not spend the effort on people who haven't already made up thier minds or visit a political forum.

Try not to take it personal or feel singled out it just ruins your enjoyment of a perfectly good boat forum, besides arguing with facts against beliefs is about as constructive as pointing out to 79Nautique a spelling error.

Ah, Joe, if only I had your wisdom and restraint I wouldn't have so recklessly contributed to this post. Another lesson learned I suppose. I suppose everyone that sat out on this thread, and still read it (all 700+ views) is far wiser than I. Good for you guys for not contributing.
