I suspect your wife would be dead and perhaps if you were a Brittish Royal Marine or MMA fighter it might turn out that way. But if you are just an average fellow or elderly...probably not.

On a different note....I bought a green dot laser for the Glock 17 at a gun show this week-end. Actually, could use it on the Sig as well.....pretty sweet.

I see law abiding citizens exercising their constitutional rights as a very good thing. Gun enthusiasts tend to be very knowledgeable and safety conscience and promote safe ownership and operation of guns. Accidents happen and that is unfortunate and I am all for better training as is the NRA. Responsible gun ownership is certainly an individual thing, but, so is owning a swimming pool or driving a car. 

So, while Mr. Intruder is beating your wife with a hammer....you should get up and check around the house for something to apply suitable force to stop and prevent him from doing the same to you?????
 
At my home, Mr. Intruder would be leaking after my strategically  placed Benelli 12 guage unleashed some triple oo buck into him sending him to a quick meeting above.

Perhaps because even law abiding and well-educated persons need to defend their lives on occasion.

Sigh...I spent some time reading his web site and many others over the years. All of them have some very common elements including concern over controversial (so-called) church history, anachronisms, mistreatment of women, gays, minorities and of course intellectuals. While I do not not wish to diminish the honest seeker struggling with their testimony, I do feel very hard towards those that have made themselves and their agenda their own personal church that seeks to lead others.....somewhere. (Kate Kelly)
 
But, the thing that is ALWAYS missing is any mention of the Holy Spirit and conversion. We know that the things of God are understood ONLY by the power of the Holy Spirit. I would not be a member if it were not for Spiritual experience....would any of you? Yet, in dealing with the pain and confusion or concern over perceived imperfections in the Lords church and the brethren, it is not mentioned. 
 
I spent time scratching my head and feeling a bit of panic over history etc many years ago, but it was the Holy Spirit that whispered to me that it was ALL true. Our testimonies and seeking to have the Spirit with us always is more important than anything else we do in life.....lest we be deceived.

I am really digging the Glock! So much so, I am going to purchase a Glock 26. They are really simple and kind of perfect....weird.

It's been awhile since I read the New Testament, so I chose that particular book of scripture to study this year.  I haven't gotten very far in it, but my testimony of Jesus Christ has been renewed and strengthened. What a powerful testament of Jesus Christ!  I mention this, because I see so many people nowadays who no longer have a belief in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Redeemer. And for many people in the world, the Bible is the only book of scripture they have that testifies of Jesus Christ.
 
I feel testimony of the church really comes down to Christ being the foundation of our testimony and church.  Because Christ is my foundation, and I know it is His church, I feel my testimony is that much stronger.  Is this Joseph Smith's church?  Brigham Young's church?  Thomas S. Monson's church?  No.  They are prophets of Christ's church.  If I know that Christ is at the head, and after reading the Book of Mormon, and getting an answer to the divinity of that work, I also know that Joseph Smith was chosen to be the latter-day prophet who brought the restoration of Christ's church back.
 
So, as people listen to John Dehlin and others, and are swayed away from the church, I wonder: where was their foundation?  Was it in their parent's belief?  Was it in the missionary who helped convert them?  Was it in the Bishop or Stake President?  Was it in Joseph Smith?  etc.  In my mind, if their foundation is in Jesus Christ, and they know that this is His church, they will not be so easily swayed.  And I am saddened, because we know that some of the very elect will be deceived.

I listened to his interview on Mountain West Radio this morning (at least as much as I could before work got in the way) and I really feel for him because I recognize the same tone he has with what I had when I was first excommunicated - no humility (humility being submitting ourselves to the will of our Heavenly Father) and lots of pride.  I had to lose everything short of my life before I decided to humbled myself and accept what had happened and truly become obedient and turn myself to God.
 
Before anyone misconstrues what I'm saying, I chose to do what it took to come back into the church.  I know of others who humbled themselves, accept what had happened and turned to God who decided not to come back to the LDS church.  They also have found comfort and their lives have become much better because they not only became obedient to the word of God, they developed a personal relationship with God.
 
What I'm saying is that, and if by some weird confluences of events I'm actually asked, my advice to him would be to step out of the public eye, concentrate on what is important (his marriage and family), work at developing a personal relationship with his Father in Heaven and leave the rest alone.  Otherwise, he risks losing it all.

When I want news....I mean real news I tune into Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Chris Matthews and of course Mr Ed from the Ed show

It's the most mightyful number, I guess.  I forgot... the Babylonians didn't know a "zero" in their arithmetic system.  It's maybe that why their tower fell to pieces... due to incorrect calculations...? 

I am really digging the Glock! So much so, I am going to purchase a Glock 26. They are really simple and kind of perfect....weird.

Enjoy!!
