Everyone just keeps thinking it would be a bomb. What would happen if these nut jobs grabbed automatic weapons and took to the streets and events?
Anyway, I'm not carrying, because I'm spending this Sunday like every other; at home doing homework and playing on the internet.

Extra Gear? None. Normal Gear? Always.
Now I carry the large bulky 3 day bags in EACH of our cars; which are both SUVs with one kinda being a crossover. Banging up my knee and elbow and NOT having the first aid kit was not cool. HB of CJ (old coot)

People would die ... Plain and simple.
And as we all know,
Situational awareness is everything ... If I feel that I need more than my normal choice, to go to an event, I'll not go to that event.
I mean really,
Why don't we talk about wearing our Level III ballistic stuff 
Terrorists win, if that becomes normal

I have been a little worried that the terrorist would stop by my small goat farm and try to have a free dinner . So I have been out driving and setting fence post for a new 4' welded wire fence around my goats. Seriously I have been putting up new fencing all day, only cause my goats keep escaping. I keep telling the wife a few 223 rds would be a lot cheaper than 1500 dollars worth of new fence! And if I were a terrorist I would def pick a different day that 9/11 for an attack. Come on if they wanted to be successful they would know better and know that America is on lock down looking for something to happen.

Yet you're not running around scared to death, are you
Are you wearing Level III stuff, today, and if so ... Did you start wearing it because of 9/11 ?

No, but they also forced us to change, to sacrifice our liberty for "security".
And we all know what Benny F. said about that.
