This thread is in a sub-forum called "True Tales of Self Defense." It is apparent that this OP is not a True Tale. It breaks other rules of the Forum and has done since December. My post was on topic. Comments about attitude are not on topic.

Waiting for mods.

I'm guessing that completely ignoring the thread is too difficult for you?? :eek:

No, but was reading along, enjoying it for the humor it was,but the further It went, the more it degenerated into silliness. Got a little exasperating after the other thread that went from reasonable discussion to outright silly.

Hey!!
Hellooo!!
Moderators?
Anybody there??

Uhm, why is this post still on the board. Will somebody please scrape this mess off the Forum.

This thread has been moved from True Tales of Self Defense. The moderators have decided to post this known false report at The Social Lounge. I think that is a mistake. Even though some readers know it is fiction if you read the comments above some of them have taken it for true. How many readers believe the post and don't leave their response can only be guessed. The fact that the OP may be fun or funny to read in not good reason to allow it to blemish this Forum.

Agreed. It's also misleading. Not something anyone should do while discussing firearms and the law.

This thread has now been renamed by someone. The phrase NOT TRUE BUT HUMOROUS is now added to the original "found on Craig's list thread name. I find that accurate.

I did that. This is an appropriate forum (the Social Lounge) for humor and I just made sure it was titled as such.
