There are no Walgreens in Britain. They're are about 3 Boots stores on every city centre high street.

It's clearly not British. Dude made up a story in which a scary racist stereotype of a black man attempted to mug him and was scared off by his pretend space wars knife.

An interesting effect occurs when you re-read that and replace "gun" with "katana" or some weeaboo sword. Same world, different nerds I guess.

I know someone who carries a gun. He's licensed and an extremely responsible gun owner. He did actually chase down a criminal once (once). He didn't pull his gun because he wasn't planning on shooting anyone. You don't pull your gun unless you plan to pull the trigger. I saw him take off and saw him when he got back. He held the guy until the police arrived which wasn't long since they'd already been called and this was 30 years ago. Nobody got shot. Because shooting someone is traumatic and a last resort not something you look forward to.

Don't forget the 2014 Las Vegas shooting where the couple shot two cops in a pizza place, draped them with the teabagger flag and went on to shoot up a Wal-Mart. One True Murcan was carrying and told someone "I'll put a stop to this" and went off to hunt the shooter. Got popped right on the noodle by the wife of the pair.

I’d never let that happen to me.” It’s like how everyone thinks they’re an above average driver, so they take unnecessary risks because they’re sure they can handle it.

That's what scares me about the people who think they'd get to play hero in a shooting. You're a dumb panicky animal like the rest of us, and you're risking someone else assuming you're one of the bad guys trying to kill everyone. There's also the risk of killing an innocent person by accident, because it's hard to figure out what's going on and who the enemy is when everyone's panicking. It's not a fantasy world where you're perfectly level headed and the shooter is indicated with a big red arrow. And in smaller scale stuff, escalation is bad. You don't want to make it into a gun fight unless you have literally no other choice. But tell that to these hero-wannabes and they'll think you're just a coward.

Imagine this scenario: a gun fight starts in Walmart between some dastardly criminals and heroic open carriers. When the cops show up how do they decide which are the bad guys? starkebn has a new favorite as of 23:59 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Maybe we can just gather all the gun-havers together at a big convention. Eventually one will spook and start blasting, setting off a chain reaction until they're all shooting each other until only one man is left standing. That man will have all the guns and he will be our new king.

I can believe this happened, but not the way the authour thinks it did. Kid notices gun, tells parent. Parent thinks "Oh poo poo, it's a crazy, don't say anything that will get them worked up" just says something to get the kid to be quiet. Gunhaver thinks how heroic they are.

It was someone intentionally trying to make gun shows seem dangerous, so he brought a live shotgun shell, slipped it into a gun on display, and "accidentally" fired it.

I like the "MORTAGE" part. They were so close. I'm imagining two hicks drafting the letter as a team. Hick #1 gets to that bit and types "MORGAGE" only to receive a sharp smack to the back of the head from hick #2. "Dammit, Chip! Dontcha know nothin'? Thar's s'posed t'be a TEE in that word." "Yer so smart, Jim-Bob. I ain't never been good with letters."

Daycare doesn't pay anyone's mortgage, it drains the parents' finances and puts pennies in the pockets of the people actually watching the children I guess the owner of the daycare, what with being able to charge a gently caress ton of money to watch other people's kids, might see the most benefit

Us employees made minimum wage and were told there was no money for supplies so we had to get everything ourselves.

Sarah Wojcik, a reporter for local news outlet The Morning Call, told us that that police are aware of the letter: Yeah, people are poo poo.
