If you're a good shot, you wouldn't need the bat.

**chequita guevara** · August 19, 2009, 12:58

If you just ask questions first, you wouldn't need either.

**Ben Kenobi** · August 19, 2009, 13:32

I know but this is Canada. I don't have to register a bat.

Honestly I prefer a bat to a gun, but that's just me.

**BlackCat** · August 19, 2009, 14:10

Why doesn't it surprise me that BK is bat krazy ?

**Ben Kenobi** · August 19, 2009, 14:14

I have a real bat-titude.

That kind of assumption could kill you.

The other kind of attitude could kill someone else. While I really don't want to be killed, after I'm dead, I wouldn't be bothered by it. If I killed someone accidentally, it would bother me the rest of my life. Which isn't to say I wouldn't kill someone in order to defend myself or another human being, but I want to be sure.

Guess what, Ace? If someone is prowling around, they need to be concerned. Why you insist on blaming the totally wrong party is beyond me, unless you do it to just take the assignment of dumbass. I tell you what, come prowl around here, and when I shoot you, you can say with your last gasp that I shouldn't have shot you. You'll be dead, but that's ok. Idiot.

When you put electricity in to your home, you consented to let the meter man come and read your meter during normal business hours. If you want to rescind the consent, go back to living in the 19th Century. Your Texan, you won't notice it much.

Number 1, and I'll pull out all stops since you want to make it a matter of insulting, it's "you're" a contraction for " you are". I don't think you mean I'm in possession of anything, given your context.

Number 2, yes, the 79 year old man made a terrible mistake. Likely, he's addled. So what is your answer, Professor Einstein? Disarm all because of a terrible accident involving an old man? Euthanize all old men? What do you want? I can't stand people that whine, and don't offer up an option. WTF do you want? Plainly asked, plainly answer; or go the hell away.

I want people not to shoot first and ask questions later. Is that so hard for you to understand? I know you're a Texan, but simple English shouldn't be beyond you.

You have to remember, I don't know this person, he's scaled my fence, he could have a gun.

And if he has a gun what are you going to do with the bat?

**Imran Siddiqui** · August 20, 2009, 14:21

It's Texas, so I say we execute the old man

**DirtyMartini** · August 20, 2009, 14:26

Bear with me now, because I know this is pretty radical, but what if the old dude had YELLED at the guy "Howdy Texas whippersnapper on my fence. What in dagnabit tarnation are you doing on my proper-tay? I verily warn you that I am armed and cantankerous and demand a response to my query forthwith.".

Rather than, say, shooting at him, approaching him menacingly with a bat or releasing the hounds.
