    You'll find I keep my goat well tethered.

    I've been waiting for someone to call me a gun-grabbing liberal. That would make my day since Weary, on AT-L, once accused me of being a Budweiser swilling, 4 wheel driving, trash strewing, trespassing, Bush supporting, wilderness area destroying yahoo. Or words to that effect.

    Which, of course, is preposterous. Budweiser?!

    So what holster is best to put on your dog to carry a cell phone and pistol? We need to get all the flash point pieces in play.

    FY Koz. I'm an NRA member. You're a spineless liberal. Zip your piehole. I bet you always have a coke with you while you're hiking. That's legal.

    L. Wolf....How long you been a member of the National Rasslin' Alliance (NRA)?

    You're a trip, man...love your one line posts. I can understand 'em much better than those that go over a paragraph. My attention span is not what it once was.

    I have to agree with Mountain Dew. My Dad always said that your mind, common sense, and the ability to think on your feet are the best weapons you can have as you journey through life.

    I don't need no gun. I carry a nice long alder hiking staff. And 6 feet 2 inches and 185 pounds worth of stern visaged, and military police trained me. And I keep a few buds in my pack to placate trouble-makers.

    A few buds. That would work. Do you carry papers or a pipe?

    Or did you mean Buds?

    Dances with Mice:
    It is obvious that your budding sense of humor has some people in a huff (or is it puff?).
    I enjoy reading your comments and hope you don’t become Weary, one is enough.

    I prefer papers. Sharing body fluids spreads giardia and other bad things. But familiarity breeds carelessness. I thus sometimes omit capitalizing one of my favorite beverages. However, whatever works.

    Default Nra

    NRA ? Did somebody say NRA....A great organization. Not perfect, but very close. With Ben Hur errr umm Moses as the president how could it not be great ? All those liberals that cry about guns causing violence are pathetic. I wonder if those same liberals consider needles the cause of drug use ? Hell No. Guns aren't the problem idiots are.

    I'll go along with the last comment at least. The problem is not guns, but idiot organizations like NRA. What is pathetic are the stupid, unthinking critics of so called "liberals." Such labels have no meaning. True Liberals by there very nature do not speak with one voice, but with a thousand voices.

    Weary- "True Liberals by there very nature do not speak with one voice, but with a thousand voices." And people who support the right to own guns speak with millions of voices so keep pissing into the wind. Although I do not agree with all NRA rules etc. they are stand for freedom which is beyond a liberals comprehension. Notice how liberals don't even like their own label at times ? Keep blaming the cars for accidents, needles for drug use, and playboy for rapes liberals. What perfect logic that makes. ....funny stuff.
