What is a Christian Man's MORAL responsibility to protect his own life, or that of his immediate or spiritual family?

@admin had an epiphany.

Several weekend meetings ago, the CC made the comment at the WT Study ...  "We should be peacemakers ... a turtle is a peaceful animal, but it is not a peacemaker ... we need to be peacemakers!"

How do you "make peace" with a terrorist who barges into your Kingdom Hall and starts shooting people?

Only one way I know about ... and that is to kill him as quickly as possible.

Please feel free to throw your cell phone in a high cometary arc across the aisles, and knock the gun out of his hand.

The Peacemaker, also called the Frontier, the Model P, and the Equalizer was firstly widely used by the army. During the mid-1860Â’s the army was looking to replace their slow and fragile percussion pistols, so they tested the .44-caliber Colt revolver, which they rejected for being robust and unreliable. However, during the 1870Â’s William Mason and Charles Brinckerhoff designed and created the .45-caliber centerfire Colt Single Action Army. The army immediately recognized the gunÂ’s potential: they used it as their official service weapon until the World War II.

I wish I could give that THREE upvotes !

I have OFTEN thought about buying that model firearm.

Perhaps with a black, plain western style holster with a platinum or silver chess piece symbol on the side of the holster.

The only problem is I would have to move to San Francisco, across from the Stock Exchange, in the Hotel Carlton.

( inside joke .... )

About 13 years ago, I bought a "silencer" for my firearms.

They are quite legal in 34 states, and shows consideration for your neighbors in neighborhoods like mine, where everyone in my corner of the subdivision shoots off of their back decks at backyard targets. and sometimes the noise gets excessive ... especially on a Sunday afternoon in summer with the windows open.

You do have to fill out ATF forms, have it signed by your local Sheriff, be photographed and fingerprinted, pay a $200.00 tax for each "can", and have to wait over three months for approval, but it is great fun ... and intimidates the hell out of weak livered Snowflakes, who melt all over themselves at the thought.

Humor is where you find it.

I was not going to post this little personal vignette, but I ran across this photo and just HAD to ... for the Librarian.
