In her reply to my posting, Sarah Dugan stated that she
thought meeting violence with violence isn't the best
way to solve the problem. I would imagine that she knows
that violence is the only thing these fools understand
or they wouldn't be mistreating women in the first place.

Sarah, I wish to inform you that, while a hand gun (sidearm)
can be used to instigate a violent act, this is a total mis-
use of the tool. A sidearm is meant to be used as a defensive
tool. I would also like to state that a person carrying a
handgun should never use it unless that person knows there is
no other way to survive the situation. A county in Florida did
teach a group of women to shoot,then lisenced them to "carry",
then turned them loose on the street. The results were good in
that area. (This was just after Castro [can you say "prick with
ears?"] turned a bunch of walking tirds loose on us.) I am still
a bit angry about that crap too. 





The offer still stands
