Gud' on 'im I'se say.

Nice family too.


LOL! when I read the article I saw that the kid thought he ws being
accosted by pirates and he called his dad and I was impressed by his
dad telling him to "Load your gun and shoot to kill"

His dad is a smart man.


Sometimes you aren't safer with a gun.

The pirates were imagined. Look at how it ended, "I turned, and they
turned." Fishermen? A wooden boat not appearing on a radar should not
be a surprise.

Too big a gun, too young. Bad combination.

That gun would do a lot of damage.

I think the dad used bad judgment. If they tried to sell him some fish
it might have turned out different.

Thankfully he ditched the gun when entering Mexican waters. A gun he
never should have had.

If you think a teenager should have a .357 for protection, I hope you
are the one living next door to one who has one.




God and Guns is a disease.
