Lou, you'd better stop mentioning John's wife. He could threaten to never give you action again.

I know this. Still no one made Mr. Wall Street come over and get in my face.
I am fully aware of how stupid I was.

Barton doesn't strike me as the type that could stay cool and beat a legit lie detector so if he passed one I would believe it.

I'll answer this one. The most important aspects of carrying a gun is situational awareness and deescalation. Avoiding a situation is more important than having to defend yourself and, if the opportunity presents itself, if you can deescalate without compromising your position then your're better off as well. Those 2 things are the most important aspects of weapon's training that can be taught.
That is exactly right.
If we took a poll of all the people on here who know me in person and who have met me and seen me in action in the pool room 99% of them are going to say I am polite and fun to be around. I generally stir up a little action when I am comfortable in a pool room and am super polite and outgoing otherwise.
This "person" Eric Hu is really indescribable how despicable of a human he is from my perspective. I am not going to run down the history again but he has really very little grasp on the truth and will lie about EVERYTHING in order to put another person down.
I promise you I have barked at hundreds of people in pool rooms without incident in my life. This guy is simply a bully who thought he could intimidate me by walking over with a pool ball clenched in his fist. No one MADE him do that.

Like everyone on here....we are still waiting for the 2014 line.
We want to see what is out for the year.
I will never carry a gun. Over time I have come to see it as a legitimate means of protection but I personally would not want the responsibility that comes with it. I could easily see myself using a gun out of passion instead of responsibility.
I have thought about it a lot. I have read a lot about it. I have asked my friends who carry about it. I might still take classes on how to handle guns when I am back in Oklahoma. But traveling around the USA with all the different laws I certainly don't want to be caught with a gun where it's not allowed. One of my friends who used to carry large amounts of money said he'd rather take the chance than to be without the protection. He carries every day and you would never know it.
I guess that's how it is for 99% of people who carry. I rarely see ordinary people openly carrying and I rarely have had anyone tell me that they have a weapon on them without the conversation being about weapons.
I did have a gun once for one trip which was kept in the glovebox. It was not my gun. It was loaned to me by a friend because I had a situation where I felt unsafe going to an event in anticipation of someone else being there. When I got there I didn't carry the gun in. I left it in the van. The whole time I thought about that gun and what I would do if something happened. I realized that the gun being in the car was useless to me practically but still a hell of a burden mentally. On the way back from the event I was pulled over for speeding and I had to get the paperwork out of the glove compartment without showing the gun. I was scared and vowed then never to carry a gun.
That was 18 years ago. Since then I have thought about it and while I can see some benefits for me the downsides personally far outweigh the benefits of being a carrier. One of which is that I would probably go to prison for murder or attempted murder for removing a few total wastes of oxygen from this existence. Or die trying.
As for defusing a situation peacefully that is also the primary lesson taught by the Gracies in their BJJ classes. Although you learn how to fight they teach you how to avoid fights because the ultimate lesson of self defense is to avoid getting hurt and the best way to avoid getting hurt is not to get into a fight.
Great Post, Handguns are effective if they are used and properly. Of all the police officers I have ever met the vast majority have never discharged their weapons at a suspect. They are pulled to show the offender that they mean business and to protect the officer's life more than anything else. Lasers are very effective at getting that point across.. Now back to the nasty, ugly comments.. Have a wonderful day!!

That is so funny because living in California, the cops are the opposite.
There are coalition movements here to arm the citizen against cops.
Too bad nobody is aware of the Christopher Dorner case. Cops were so paranoid of this particular fugitive that they would shoot at cars that matched the description of his vehicle.
You weren't talking to him you were goading him and would not stop it. Given the history you two have it was a pretty stupid thing to do and I think you got exactly the response you were expecting.
Lou Figueroa
Here are the facts:
Your wife was at Sandcastle.
She went running out of the arena at one point.
She was sitting right next to Dennis most of the match, next to your player's chair.
She, and Dennis, would clapped loudly later in the match when you would shoot a good shot.
People can draw their own conclusions, I don't have to implicate anyone.
Lou Figueroa
I did not accuse her of deliberately doing anything other than running out of the arena, supposedly to greet Dennis. I was told you were working out with him in the days leading up to the match, so that makes sense.
