CHAPTER

The Legacy of Montserrat

There was a, there was a, that Montserrat had 11,000 people on it at the time. It has less people on it now, because the corruption has been so bad. I found a point of sad, but going to Montserrat, and we still have the studios there for what it's worth,. If he wants to buy studios and Montserratt, let me know. No, it's been to me. With things falling through it. But it was a dream. It was this dream that happened. People said to me, would you do it again? I go, well, no, it's time's different now. You don't need so

Thus, having one ready to don, thus having one ready to don to me is a recipe to be killed by incompetence. I'm not really understanding that sentence, but we're going to skip it. What would you suggest I do? I stay very proficient with my pistol and conceal more often than not. I just don't know if because they're going to be banned is a good reason to buy a gun. Thanks for everything that you do. I don't know if that's a good reason to buy one either. You described in your email that your weapon choices are utilitarian in nature. So you recognize that they are a tool. You look at the life around you, the things that you enjoy, your hobbies, your pastimes, and you select and source the tools that fit inside of those well. It doesn't sound to me like you have a need or really even a desire to own an AR. And my answer to you would be the Dona Omen. I don't think there's a right or wrong answer when it comes to this. Some people love AR platform rifles. Some people don't. Is one more right than the other? I don't think so. I don't think there's any level of judgment that should be placed upon somebody depending on what type of weapon that they particularly want to own or they feel that they need. You know, it's interesting that you brought up police have killed two good Samaritans in separate instances when they defeated a mass shooter and went to unload or take control of the murderer's weapon. That sucks because that person went above and beyond what would likely be expected of a citizen and engaged a mass shooter, ended it, and then in an attempt to clear and save the weapon were shot themselves. There is a lesson in that though. And for somebody listening to this, like first let's start with this. I wish that there were no instances like this. The number of people that I would like to be killed by guns is actually zero. We don't live in that world. And we do live in a world where you may be involved in a situation like this. So if you ever are in that position, where you engage and kill a mass shooter, understand the number of phone calls and reports that have likely gone out to police organizations, that there is an active shooter and the velocity with which they are responding. The last thing that you wanna do when the police show up is present yourself with a weapon in your hands.
