What, they going to use a drone, or an old German made StucKa?  I don't haul u-haul trailers either. Last thing I towed was one of my race cars, and that was some time back.

 

Gotta do better than these questions. They are to easy for me to answer.

 


 


John, a U-Haul truck, packed with explosive fertilizer was used as a weapon in Oklahoma to kill and injure hundreds of innocent people in a federal building.  Perhaps you heard about the story?  

 

You using a U-Haul truck or race cars has nothing to do with anything.  Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Do you worry about becoming a terrorist victim?

Of course I worry...ISIS has threatened Main Street USA....I was in NYC on 9/11. I lost 2 friends on that day and I will never forget; I also worked at the WTC respite during recovery efforts and saw grown men cry at the horror ....we as Americans should worry and be alert. I live in NJ and commuted to NYC until 2013 and everytime I got stuck in the tunnel the thought crossed my mind. But, I don't let these thoughts inhibit me or restrict me in anyway because then "they" win..... But, we all should worry

So if a pizza delivery person is wearing a turban, will you shoot at him?

 

Many Sikh's have been harassed since 9-11 because of the the males wearing turbans and being mistaken for Arabs.

John,

 

I wasn't talking about you v. bomb, but you or any of us in a market place against a shooter.  You might want to read what I wrote about that.

 

You also might want to read the two posts from dulwich, on this line.  She was a victim of a terrorist attack in a store and tells it like it was.

Oh.  Thank you.  I thought it was something else--perhaps an acronym because of the capitalization.

Oh did not think of that - would not have helped me if I had carried a machine gun - one minute you are browsing books next you are on the floor - so when would carrying a gun - if that is what the protector is - have helped?

I'm personally surprised a hockey stick wasn't the weapon of choice...especially since it's mentioned so often.

I do like the phrase...."taking out shadows". Boy, that's the truth.

This was a topic of conversation (open carry) during last night's dinner with my BFF. Boy, he had some choice words....

You're being ridiculous.....have you already forgotten about the OK bombing in a U-Haul truck?

 

I hope you're not making light of that.

It wouldn't have.

 

So sorry for what you've gone through.
