This shit has got to stop.

In the last two weeks, I had to throw out skells who walked into the store looking to rip something off. Tonight a guy comes in and starts a rap about how he had all his things taken in a homeless shelter and the cops didn't do anything and blah blah blah. Now he is well dressed and not skanky but he wants to come into a women's clothing store and be disruptive. As I usher him out, he accuses me of racism and that I didn't care about his problems. I told him that black women are my best customers. But they are women, not men and men are not allowed in the store unless accompanied by a woman or if they are shopping for a present.

But he was right that I didn't care about his problems.

I have applied for a gun permit.

Good luck on getting a gun in New York. This article illustrates how difficult it can be. It might not be as hard for you though--you seem like the type who knows people who would smooth the path.

Damn me too . Want to get one before Obama outlaws guns in the home. And I am not being sarcastic.

I do have a hook.

You need a judge, not a hook.

No there is a review board.

See, I don't like that sort of thing.

Good luck getting your gun; I hope you never have to use it.

So do I. I am still undecided. I don't need it for myself. I will get in close and personal with a boxcutter or a sap. No problem.

I just worry if the wife is alone with the girls in the store. She needs an edge.

You see when I roll up on the skells and make my angry face they kinda shit green. I have to admit I have a few scars that are a little scarey. And a broken nose and stuff that gives a leading indicator if you know what I mean. That's not gonna help if they have a gat, but there is not much you can do about it if they have the drop on you.

I just need a piece if Althouse ever shows up again to harass the people from What Not to Wear.

Maybe I can taze her instead.

blake said...

Nah, Althouse is easy. Just distract her with a squirrel or a piece of cheese or something....

I recommend the tried and true Colt .45 Model 1911. Assuming you can actually find one under a grand but if you can, get it. Finest handgun of the 20th century, sleek of build but will stop a rhino if need be. Kicks like a jackass but the poor bastard on the other end will have a beer can size hole in him. There is no such thing as a flesh wound.

I just have to get the license. I think a smaller gun would be best for the wife. I like to get up close and personal with the skells so I don't need the gat. A nice little Berretta will do the trick. One of uncles has a licensed one he can give me that was his ankle holster hide out gun from when he was on the force. That should do just fine.

I am a huge fan of the .45 ACP, it has a lot of power and the recoil is really not bad. The only problem I have with it is that pistols chambered for this are either really big or have crappy capacity. I am small and have small hands, so I am biased on this point.

I like the S&W .40 cartridge. All the major makers like Glock make them--even Smith. It has much more power than the 9mm, but with the small size and large capacity of the 9mm handguns.
