   Children have to have a good, defined father figure AND a good, defined mother figure in thier lives. The “throw away” or “unneeded” attitude and even bastardization towards the institution of marriage has destroyed recent generations… and the downfall has been swift.

   She said “bedroom”, not “apartment”. You can rent a room to sleep in, but share a bathroom with others that are also renting other rooms.And yes, a garage can be heated.

   If & when an EMP hits, you’re going to be sad if you don’t know how to build a fire…

   Actually, I live in the country, where there are cows… but more importantly, there are also coyotes and bears. Lots of bears. Previously, I’d not worry at all about taking a walk in the woods. Now, I would not do that without carrying.“Better to have and not need than need and not have.”

   Because the good guys with guns tend to also be the ones that obey the law… and many states/cities have enacted laws that do not allow guns within certain areas ("within “x” distance of a school", etc.). In these cases, the “bad guy” with a gun already doesn’t care about breaking the law, but the “good guy” doesn’t want to cause problems so doesn’t carry there.

   Our choices are to be “good guys” and not break the law, or technically become “bad guys” that have the ability to defend ourselves, possibly saving others in the process.

   Remember, the “news” only reports bad scary stories. They can’t tell ones where a crime never even happened because the “good guy” was armed, so the “bad guy” decided against doing a bad thing to begin with.

   Again, a lack of understanding here. Although handguns can be used offensively, they are meant to be used defensively. If anyone uses a handgun offensively, they should and ought to be in for BIG trouble… and with that you better be DARN sure that you have a real need to use a gun defensively! Case in point above: if some punk is “acting crazy”, there is NO justifiable reason to draw the gun. Unsurprisingly, this strip is showing a lack of training and understanding on the part of the comic character, because of – and more so – the same old general anti-gun misconception (and misrepresentation!) on the part of the writer about people who DO carry.

   Yes, there are idiot gun carriers, just as there are idiot car drivers. Those who drive carelessly and offensively cause trouble, accidents, and may even kill someone by their stupid actions. Those who drive with awareness, cautiously and defensibly tend to avoid accidents and stay safe. A tool is a tool; it is the INAPPROPRIATE USE of the tool that is the problem.

   FYI: I’m completely in favor of official training and certification, but it needs to be readily available and FREE. Poor people have as much right to properly defend themselves as the rich do. I’m quite disgusted by the rich anti-gun folks that have armed body guards.

   The most dangerous weapon is ignorance. How many people here this the “AR” in “AR-15” stands for “Assault Rifle”? I’ve found a direct correlation between people that watch the “news” and people who thought that’s what it stood for.

   However, explaining to them that the name comes from the original maker, “ArmaLite”, does give you an entryway into sharing the many other ways that the media has distorted and flat out lied to them about guns.

    Sour milk is best for baking. Next time you have some that goes bad, try making pancakes with it.
