Do you have a weapon?

Hells yeah, nothing can match a water balloon, but those super soakers have just gotten more and more hardcore. I bought one when I was like 15 to go Gringo Hunting and it was supposed to be like 20 PSI of water or something insane like that.

 

You ever been Gringo Hunting?

You put on a sombrero and go around drenching people at the country club.

Good times.

 

that sounds wicked awesome...haha, i'd have a blast

 

fun to shoot, only ammo in the house is near unaccessable if you don't know EXACTLY where it is

 

well, i hunt. have a shotgun for birds, rifle for elk (don't much like deer, so i don't see the point of hunting it). i prefer the shotgun for home protection, since the ratchety sound of cocking it is pretty much instantly identifiable to everyone in creation and all that is necessary to stop someone in their tracks. i've only had to do that once when a couple creepy guys decided to sneak into my backyard. never saw them again.

 

Finally a logical answer. is that you Spok?

 

KC, were the people in your yard threatening your life?

I think water balloons and water pistols sound good.

 

There's a question I'd like to ask.
All of you are registered HipForums users, which arose from a website called www.hippy.com, dedicated to all things hippy.
It would be fair to assume that you are at least a little bit of a hippie.
Why would a hippie own a gun? The only purpose of a gun is to kill. Killing is against every hippie tenet!

 

You HUNT, KC? Whatever for? Are those birds and elk threatening your life? Do you live in Mongolia, far away from the convenience of supermercados?

I'm assuming that you consider at least a TINY part of yourself to be a hippie. If I am correct in this assumption, will you please explain to me how you justify hunting when there is no need for it?

 

UNLESS you hunt to eat.

 

Well for those who eat meat, would you not consider hunting far more humane than whatever commercial farms and such?

 

obviously it'd be impossible for anyone to know the true answer, but its not wrong to assume that they were indeed threatening her life.

why else would they be sneaking around in her backyard? havent you ever seen A Clockwork Orange?

 

To each his own, I suppose. The world would be better without guns, I think.

 

Commercial farms at least pretend to give the animals a painless death. You can't, by ANY means, say the same for hunting.

There are companies that have ethical practices, too. They are just smaller and a little harder to find in your local Vons. But that's no reason to resort to hunting.

 

Like shooting heroin, there are a lot of better things you could be doing to hang with your friends.

 

I don't think you understand the enormity of killing.

 

I bet the animals that you shoot have a problem with it.

 

Alright, fine.

Thanks for being so tolerant.

 

Well I think if a person is going to eat meat, the most humane way to do it is to hunt their own food. That way, the animal still lives a natural life up to the point you kill it, rather than being stuck in a pen in a livestock/poultry farm. Those things are not pleasant. So they are kept in this prison-like environment, then killed. A hunter shooting a deer from a treestand will usually kill the thing before it knows what is going on. I don't hunt because I am a city dweller, but I don't have a problem with it. Except poaching and sport hunting of course. Do you eat meat? I think really the only people who can condemn hunting for food are vegetarians and vegans. Plus what is wrong with defending yourself and your family in your own home? There are some fucked up people in this world that will try do fucked up things to you for no reason. You can be completely against killing, but you still have to survive on occasion. Just a few stoned thoughts

 

Should you eat the roaches after you kill em?
