For what it is worth....
#1 "Marine" was in quotes. Wasn't planning on wearing cover, flag, insignia, or any stripes. Was just going to wear BDU shirt, BDU pants, and some black boots, and MAYBE a face paint.
#2 "Laido" was a typo for Iaido. was trying to get post in quickly.
#3

No, I planned on having It slung on my back, or across my chest. "Samurai" was going to keep sword sheathed.
#4 After some thought, and reading the posts, I don't want the trouble this might cause...
BUT
#5 It is a SAD state in which we live, where something like this can be blown out of proportion. At the risk of being banned, I will say this... "The anti-gunners have already won."
We are "crazy" when we have them. "Crazy" for wanting to buy them. When we talk about them at work, we are viewed as "psychos." The "average" citizen "does not need those machineguns and rocket launchers, which is why the 'assult weapon' ban was a good idea."
There once was a time when everyone had a six-gun on their belt.... it was "wrong" to NOT have one.
Allow me to share a quick story about today, which is why I am soooo angry....
I have a friend, who #1 does not & will not ever own a weapon. #2 thinks that no one EVER needs a gun #3 thinks no one should have ANY guns #4 thinks they are evil and #5 thinks that anyone who has one is "living in fear."
I said to HIM... "what if some one breaks into your home?" his response, "then I will let them do whatever they want"
I replied, "what if they are going to hurt you or your family?" His response, "i am not going to do anything."
I replied "what if a 80 year old grandmother, who can't defend herself physically, needs a firearm to defend herself against a 6' 5" 270 pound man, who was just released from prison and spent every day in the gym?" His response, "most women that age don't have guns."
I retorted, "that doesn't answer the question." He replied, "she doesn't need the gun, she should just let him do whatever he wants."
I asked, "do YOU want to be a victim?" His response... was a shrug.
I made NONE of that up, and am SICKENED by an attitude like this. This person would let his WHOLE family be raped or killed, and he would do NOTHING to stop it, EVEN IF HE HAD A WEAPON AVAILABLE TO USE.
FUCK!!!!
