...this forum is specifically for talking about things not necessarily related to pen making so talking about guns and how things used to be are both just fine to talk about in this forum.

Correct, as long as everyone in the conversation maintains a "be nice, be respectful" attitude.

It is amazing just plain amazing You people talk about the way things were back many years ago. We live in a different society today. You can talk about guns on here and yet when a simple request of getting a Bearevement forum started or even a Hall of fame forum started or any other forum started the post count goes down. People are so against it. But if there was a vote to get a gun forum started here it would pass with outrageous numbers. Talk about guns and the count goes sky high of people bragging what they carry and how they carry. Types of guns. Locked and loaded. I just hope none of your kids is a casuality of your bravado. Having weapons of any kind in the house, in the car, on your person is a a huge responsibility and should not be taken lightly.

I tried so hard to stay out of this thread but this eats at me every time it is brought up. We all do not live in the same place. We all do not have the same surrounding so not all opinions are the same and there is no right one or wrong one.

What do you say we get back to talking about making pens. Lets put the same effort in that as this topic.

With all due respect, I disagree with you on this and I explain why.

In life, there are times where, "we all" need to talk to someone and relief some steam that could have been caused by a million of factors, regardless of what those reason can be, IAP has always been a place where people can come and talk freely about any subject.

Despite the fact that IAP having dozen of sub-forums where people can express their thoughts, pass on knowledge or simply answer a question, all those forums have rules to what is and is not acceptable, the criteria was set by the forum's owner and moderators are there to assist keeping and eye on things so, is not the subject of the conversation that is the problem, the problem is, how people go about it.

With this said, everyday here on IAP , we have examples of Posters that publicly share their wins, losses, near misses, sorrows, happiness and so many other subjects that, have nothing to do with pen making/turning and you may have witness time and time again, people put as much effort on these issues as they put on talking/discussing pen making/turning and or any other subject related to pens so, you don't have to worry about that...!

Furthermore, a great majority of IAP members are American citizens, the very same country that has the 2th amendment, and the country where, the gun culture is not matched anywhere on this Earth so, is no surprised to see someone sharing an unfortunate story, where guns are involved. If anything, I'm surprised that, I don't see/read on IAP a lot more of gun stories but on the other hand, I can no blame and I do in fact understand why "they" feel ridiculed or less comfortable in doing so, the anti-gun people love to know that, and thrive on that fact so, do you still believe/think, accepting that and be silent, is helpful to you..???

I'm glad to confirm, pen making/turning "efforts" on IAP, are well and alive...!

Cheers

now that you know what this thread is - how about you just don't click on the link in the future?

You know what the content is, you know you don't want to read it or that you don't agree with it. Just move on.

Simple, right?

Oh, and call me me stupid and Irresponsible all you want. Doesn't bother me a bit, been called worse. Matter of fact the cop that done the police report said I was stupid this morning. When he asked me if the gun was loaded, I said yes but I don't keep a round chambered. He said "Well that's Stupid"

The cop that "did" the police report :wink:

I apologize for my "returning" so a subject that I mentioned previously and even though, has no direct correlation to the events the OP described, I believe suitable to share with you, a 14 minute YouTube video clip that I just watched.

I admit, it seems this gentleman is a very famous figure in the USA gun world however, I never heard of him or seen any clips from him before, it happened that, I was doing some searching into the subject and this video clip appeared very opportune to share here so, here it goes..!

I'm glad your friends/drinking buddies/pals are not mine!!! I hope you recorded the serial number on that weapon so when you or the cops check the pawn shops they or you can take it off the streets. Your foolish assumption that people don't steal could turn into a $500 illegal gun sale in New York/New Jersey! Good Luck in your future!
