COLD DARK ROOM

[ZEROPILOT]

Quite.
I think I'm a girl.
(apologies to any ladies who like the above items).

Oooh. I don't know.
I know a LOT of tattooed, motorcycle riding ladies that carry guns.....I can appreciate that it might be a "western" thing.

Kelly has no tattoos. But there's a reason why her purse weighs 15 pounds.

Can't imagine wifey doing any of those things.
In fact i shudder to think.
Still each to their own, rather bizarrely some people don't like palaeoecology , Doctor Who or even strong cheese.
It's a funny old world.

In the UK and most of europe we just don't carry guns.. and most of us don't get the American obsession with them.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but saying anything more will get me a telling off for being political.

No guns here, either.
But I've been shot and shot at.
It tends to put one off a tad.

 

[Gillian M]

No.

Good evening Adam.

Why not, Sir? Do you want me to fall ill?

I've seen on television that even some U.K. police carry no firearms?

I've also been shot. But to be fair. I shot him first.
True hunting accident story.....

Of course not.
Wear a duffle coat, jumpers, leg warmers and woolly long johns, you'll be fine.

Most UK police don't carry firearms. The armed police are special units that get deployed where necessary.

Outside important buildings and, with the current terrorist threat, they are more common. But generally cops do not carry guns in the UK; they don't need to

The police carry guns here, but allegedly most are not loaded. I've never heard of one being used.

 

[Gillian M]

Of course not.

Won't be able to move with all that on!

Please, please allow me to bring in a heater.

Hmmmm.
I shot myself in the mouth.
(richochet)
My dad shot his toe off.
My grandad's gun jammed while fighting German's. (WWII not holiday)
I think my family should steer clear.

Good evening Linda.

Wow! You ought to see the way policemen are armed here in Jordan. With the influx of refugees after the uprisings in the region, the country is not the safe place it once was which really is too bad.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I also don't want to get all political.
The American culture of firearms and the saturation of them is alarming.
Buy it's kind of like nuclear arms.....If the bad guys have them. You'd better be prepared.
Almost EVERY state allows citizens to posses and to carry a firearm. Purchasing one is very easy and I would feel very uncomfortable not being armed.
I can see how this would seem strange.
It simply isn't good.

No.
Jellyfish stings might warm you up.

The thing is that we Europeans go to the USA, admittedly we try to stay out of harms way, but we don't feel unsafe being unarmed. Far from it. You have a lovely country with some bad guys in it. It just makes it harder to comprehend.

Hi Ed. Nice to see you around, but without guns at CDR please.

By the way, how is your mother today? Hope she's better.
