Guns on boats-Mexico too
jaxashby's war story:
-they weren't actually pirates and they didn't actually make it, but they were in fact carrying AK-47's backed up by mortar, rockets, and at one point with heavy artillery, and there were thousands of them. The closest a bullet ever came to my head was about six inches (bullets at 6 inches make a different sound from bullets at 12 inches which is different from two feet from 5 feet from 10 feet, etc). Did get some shrapnel (a piece of which I still carry) but that was from a mortar, which I except no pirate would be carrying, so it doesn't count.- Bilge-I'll wager that you were holding something a little more lethal than a charged 2.5 inch firehose, though. Unfortunately for us professional mariners, the various "gun control" laws do NOTHING more than leave us with a hose, you slobbering half-wit.

This is a classic:

ubject: Guns on boats-Mexico too
From: (JAXAshby) Date: 10/15/2004 04:56 Pacific Standard Time Message-id: Ever been boarded by "pirates", Doodles? .....didn't think so.... otn they weren't actually pirates and they didn't actually make it, but they were in fact carrying AK-47's backed up by mortar, rockets, and at one point with heavy artillery, and there were thousands of them.

Personally, Doodles, I wouldn't want to experience either case, but I'm assuming you had a bit more at your disposal, for defense, than a fire hose or foam monitor? LOL Shame they did away with Lyle guns. Shen |

no bilge rat, you are the slobbering half-wit for going where it is unsafe.
trust me, half-wit, NO place on the planet is entirely unsafe. trust me also, half-wit, when I tell you that should you be a stupid enough ****ing idiot to place yourself repeatedly in extremely dangerous positions where you need a weapon, you are going to crack up. even in war, tense moments are far fewer than the movies and news magazines would have you civilians believe. Let me tell about the time I read 14 pages of a 15 page article in Time about a ferocious battle waged for several days. I was indeed glad to have missed that battle, for my fellow Marines were taking a pasting, but pulled through. On page 14 I learned the battle had taken place exactly at the location I had been at for three months and somehow none of us noticed. (keep in mind I was in field artillery, and artillery ALWAYS knows when there is action anywhere with range of our cannon. We cause the action amongst the other guys.)

shen, I also had ordinary intelligence, something lacking by the posters here.
these dumb squats are terrified of the bogeyman, and think a gun will make them a man.

ROFL Well, Doodles, at least you're consistent.... another stupid, uninformed response. The guy's not a yachtsman, he's a merchant sailor. He goes where the ship goes and the ship goes where the cargo is, which means he can easily end up in areas of the world that aren't "Smallville,USA"...... EG Hell, if he's really unlucky, he could end up in Brooklyn or Hoboken. otn |
