Thanks for the rep. :) Yeah, it bugs me when other countries complain about our low homicide rate (just because it is higher than theirs) all the while they have huge violent crime rates. Luxembourg, where handguns are totally banned and ownership of any kind of gun is minimal, had a murder rate nine times higher than Germany in 2002! http://www.law.harvard.edu/students/orgs/jlpp/Vol30_No2_KatesMauseronline.pdf
My time with INARNG has been with Infantry and medical units-my feelings are that the NCOs and officers from the units I have been in would have the oath to the Constitution in mind...
I'm at 62nd & Zionsville, which is just about where I-65 meets I-465 on the NW side of Indy. In fact, the neighborhood I'm in is right across the highway from Eagle Creek Gun Range. I've seen the signs for Russiaville on my way up to Knox and South Bend over the years, but I've never been that far east. Farthest east I've been is in Peru.
Thanks for the Rep Chief! You have to remember you are carrying all your crap, not the Blackhawk. Once you get back to the Light Fighter Mindset, not being a Pack Rat is a little easier...
