If I am startled in the middle of the night by an intruder in my home, I am going to keep swinging until I believe the threat has been neutralized. Am I suppose to check on the intruder between swings to see if he is still a threat?</end quote></div>
Well you don't exactly need to stop and check, I mean, you can tell when you've knocked him down. One in the head should do it. Why keep swinging after that? Either way I think you would not be charged.

Well it's true, and if you know the history of weapons and firearms, you would know that the sword was invented for 1 reason and 1 reason only. To kill other people in combat, Atheus claims that he will best someone with a firearm with his katana (most likely a cheap piece of crap from ebay that is made from cheap steel and not full tang).</end quote></div>
Actually I got it from Singapore, of all places - it's one of those mass produced WWII ones which had somehow found it's way there from Japan.

Look I have nothing against keeping one weapon, gun or sword, so long as it's secure and so long as you don't carry the damn thing round on the street. It's these people with huge arsenals who seem to think they are a one man army against the world - they're the ones that disturb me.

Hello, the person with 80 is a collector, and not a criminal.
The person on the street illegaly carrying a Lorcin with a mexican style holster is who disturbs me.
And now I'll chuckle inside because you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. :laugh:

Right because those are mutually exclusive. People who are obsessed with weapons disturb me.

I collect firearms because I enjoy shooting and their history. I even have about 8 Enfields in my collection (send me any more you find over there please). As a federally licensed collector, I am subject to more stringent regulation than normal gun owners.

Same here. I am big into FFA stuff (full auto, suppressors, SBR's), and I the hoops I have to go through are ridiculous. The government should have absolutely zero say in what weapons I can freely buy.
I don't have 80 in my collection...yet. But I live by my rule to buy a new gun every sixty days, so far it is going along as planned. Last year I was able to get me an M16 lower receiver though, that is my baby right now. I keep a 9.5" short-barreled upper on it, to make it doubly evil.
So far it has not gone on a rampage all by itself and killed anyone.

You see that's what I'm talking about - you have a licence, you seem a sensible guy, you're not being offensive, you don't have this:
"Be professional, be polite - but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
in your signature, etc. You do not disturb me. adairusmc does.

Why does being prepared to defend yourself from anyone disturb you?
That is from the Marine Corps Rules of Engagement. Get over it.
