Is Chuck Ferrara into bondage?(-:)Never mind, I don't wanna know.

Self defence may have to get violent in some instances. I just
feel that if I have to get violent to defend myself, the other
guy's gonna wish he hadn't made me stoop to his level. I believe
it was Sarah Dugan ( please correst me if I'm wrong) who said
that there is a difference between having the means and actually
using it. I personally feel that if a lady shoots a rapist in
the knee and (please take of the high heels next) gets the hell
outa there, she won't have too much trouble with that clown any
more. I also believe that the women that we are thinking about
on the subject would not just blow someone away just to be doing
something (i.e. she got bored). The women who would do that don't
deserve our concern. As to legal ramifications--- I personally
would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6, and would tell
that feeling to the judge. Also, I have taught several women how 
to shoot. Most have the attitude that would cause them to shoot
only if the assailant followed when the lady tried to escape. I
like that attitude and would teach a person of that persuasion
more readily than someone with a harder more agressive attitude.
I think this will probably cover Sanjay Tikku's posting about
how I'd feel to occupy "Bernies" shoes. I know a guy who was
riding public transportation and also was accosted (sp?) with
the intent to relieve him of his money. When he came up with
"iron" instead, his assailants suddenly disappeared out the back
door. One almost lit himself off on the third rail. My friend
never had to fire a shot. Bernie probably wouldn't have had to 
either but the only one who knows is him. I feel that one should
do whatever needs to be done to survive. I don't think our state
and federal governments care whether or not a women gets raped
but, I do. As I said before, I love women 'cause I owe one nine
months carrying charges and the milk bill.

Sorry to make this thing so long. Also sorry to make it read 
a bit on the scattered side. I've been interrupted about 3
times while writing this thing---Now to go home---where's home?
Oh, yeah.









Don't drink the milk? Sal Who?
