Thanks UG... though I will get some flack for having a "chick gun", it is popular with females in the military and cops, particularly the Coast Guard in positions where they don't have to carry the 9 (the Guard's standard issue is the Glock 9)... I think it will be best for me now.
(I have fractured my wrist again and torn a tendon now... it will not heal properly this time) |

Just one thing I wanted to share with you.
It's nice living in a place where you don't feel afraid every time you walk out the door. A place where you can walk down the street and see someone walking towards you and not think they might be going to mug you. A place where the safety is all around you, not just on your gun.

Having or not having a gun has nothing to do with that. Your neighborhood and your perspective on chance and being in the moment does.
I think destiny is a farce and do not worry about things I cannot control. I do my best to mitigate possible outcomes, after that, I don't sweat it... so it does not matter for those like me. For those that sweat it, no number of guns, street-corner cameras raping us, cops, lost rights, etc, etc, etc, will be enough. |

I think our two countries are very different rkz. You should come visit some day and then you might understand where I get my 'crazy way of thinking' from.

I have traveled to other nations. I have traveled quite extensively.
When going out I don't think about if I will get mugged/harmed. I have taken care of that contingency, just like I have taken care of the contingency of getting a flat tire, so I don't have to think about it. |

Nope. I have been places where it is harder to get guns than Australia.

It's not hard to get guns in Australia. Just because they're illegal doesn't mean they're hard to get.

You know what I meant, "legally" is implied.

I made a sarcastic statement about that earlier.
I take it you have not been in a state park or have a very clear idea of the scale of them in general? Sure, we could always hire the Marines full time to escort each person and camping expedition full time... that would be what it would take. |

Okay, this is going to sound pretty weird, but learn to shoot with your other hand. This will at least stop further damage until your body can get on top of things again -- or your orthopedic surgeon does.

I can shoot very well with both... I just want to try some damage control from here on out.
