Am I the only one…

who read this news story and immediately had visions of the organ bank problem in Larry Niven’s Known Space stories, and the flatlanders’ solution?

3. Keep your finger away from the trigger until you are ready to fire.
4. Be sure of your target, what is near your target, and what is BEHIND your target.
The Five Rules of Concealed Carry

1. Your concealed handgun is for protection of life only.
2. Know exactly when you can use your gun.
