Leaving a loaded gun on the kitchen counter was pretty damn stupid...this is why MORONS and GUNS don't mix. My dad has a gun because he lives in a somewhat remote area and has had to use it against rabid wildlife, attacking coy-dogs, and to euthanize a cattlebeast (it would have been more cruel to make the cow suffer for hours upon hours until a vet could arrive). He keeps the bullets in a safe, and the gun with triggerlocks on it that only he can open. Needless to say he has never had any problems with it. I myself can operate the C-7 assault rifle, but when the day is through, the weapon goes back in the armoury. I can only imagine Nocturne with 5 magazines and full automatic fire capability.... --Fil Enfilade Mar 10, 3:54 pm show options Newsgroups: rec.pets.cats.anecdotes From: decepticoncomm...@hotmail.com (Enfilade) - Find messages by this author Date: 10 Mar 2005 15:54:33 -0800 Local: Thurs, Mar 10 2005 3:54 pm Subject: Reference to Cat Shoots Owner Reply | Reply to Author | Forward | Print | Individual Message | Show original | Report Abuse Leaving a loaded gun on the kitchen counter was pretty damn stupid...this is why MORONS and GUNS don't mix.

I guess you think you need them. Your criminals are armed because your police are. Not so here, unless in exceptional circumstances. I would not know how to fire a gun if I had one (which I don't) neither do I need one. Tweed > I am always so amazed when you USA folks talk about having guns in your > house.

My MIL considers the word "gun" to be worse than any four-letter word you could say. Please remember that the US is home to a wide variety of opinions and lifestyles. I get the feeling from some of your posts about the USA that you have a mental image of the US that bears no resemblance to my day-to-day experiences.

NOt the other way around. But I won't get started on this topic. Bob > I am always so amazed when you USA folks talk about having guns in your > house. I guess you think you need them. Your criminals are armed because > your police are. I'm Canadian and grew up in an isolated area. My family had guns as defence against rabid or savage wild animals. When I was 14 I was attacked by a pack of feral dogs on our back property. My father has also had to use his gun to put to sleep a cattlebeast with severe injuries. Our neighbours hunt deer as a means of obtaining meat for their family. I myself learned to handle weapons in the military, including full automatic assault rifles. It is easy to handle weapons safely. That is why it boggles my mind when people are stupid with them. --Fil
