Stories like this make me want to buy a pistol to take with me on hiking trips. i grew up shooting guns (mostly rifles) but haven’t shot one in a very very long time. i’m just not sure i want to go down that path. i like hiking solo but get freaked out sometimes about theDangerFactor in a wilderness (usually) deep in redneck country…the closest i’ve ever come to being attacked is by wild boars, however, not by humans.
of course, i’ve started being a little more … careful of my surroundings … on my walks home, since some girl was (randomly) shot&killed about a block away from where i used to live (and a block away from my path home). life is precious, yo.
p.s. “spirit if…” by the broken social scene presents kevin drew is my favorite download of this emusic cycle. so far.
p.p.s. work is absolutely batshit crazy right now. everyone needs everything done now! and by now i mean yesterday!

Get a gun. period.
i loath firearms as a whole due to the idiots who use them… most of the time.
but in the hands of a responsible person they need not be a tool of disgrace or terror. the idea of -you- owning a gun relieves me in a two tiny ways.
1) you are better protected
2) one less moron has a gun due to you having it instead.
