True. I mean if someone breaks in to your house, you can always grab their sack until they surrender.

That was not what I meant. I meant that without his pistols, he was no longer a danger. Like a rattlesnake with his fangs pulled. Doug absolutely did the right thing turning them in and I applaud him on it.

You could also say the same about soda fountains.

That’s fear driven paranoid thinking.

Only "assault" fountains. The commercial grade 6-8 soda type fountains with multi-cube dispensers are not needed in any home.

A single bottle SodaStream machine is sufficient for home use.

Nobody is breaking in, quit being fearful.

Do you wear a seatbelt because you PLAN to be in an accident?

Do you have a fire extinguisher because you plan to burn the house down?

I mean, you know you best, and if you no longer want them, I respect that, but you shouldn't be gifting them to the local police department. I'd say get them back, then give them to your trustworthy close friends or relatives. Call it an early Christmas present. I'm assuming they haven't already been 'lost' by the PD, meaning, no crooked cops sold them or gave them away to their friends. That's happened before.

I wear a seatbelt because I fear being in an accident, which has much higher odds, I have a fire exchanger on each floor because I fear a fire. Thank you for making my point.

That ship has sailed, plus I don’t have any friends in Florida who feel the need to carry or own, we don’t live in fear down here.

He's six foot five with hairy tentacles that have a hell of a reach. He's also pretty accurate with a water ski. Watch out.

A walking example of OCD...but not the "neat and orderly" sort of way. More like the "flip the light switches exactly 32 times" kind of way.
