Lots of the advice here is solid--except if you live in Madison, Wisconsin. Our bangers are worthless, and as the capital of our state, we deserve a better class of criminals.
Here's an example. Yesterday on the local news, they reported that the police were investigating two shoot-outs. They found the brass, but no blood or victims.
So, if you're in my hometown, and some perv draws a weapon do not move! You might actually step in front of an accidental discharge.
As I have said many times, I'm more dangerous with a knife than a gun. I got my first knife in 1958, and my first handgun in 1974. Additionally, my job is cutlery. And since every local radio journalist trashes our public schools, you can bet that these same bangers do not know what "The Tueller Drill" is about.
The state wants to change our license plate motto to something other than "America's Dairy Land." I suggested, "It's Easier To Tip Over a Banger Than a Cow."
