The anti-gun hippy station manager is the one who retrieves the gun and scares off the bad guy, having his cathartic moment and realizeing the error of his prior thinking on the matter.<br /><br />There's also another great episode with Snake Doctor (the actor that does the car insurance commercials) and his daughter camping, where the daughter uses a gun to kill a snake that was going to bite her dad, and then his daughter takes a gun from her dad for protection on her way home (he leaves her in the forest to get home herself as a character building exercise). He finds out she took it after he admonishes her for hitchhiking, as it is dangerous, and she tells him she wasn't concerned because she was armed and prepared to defend herself.Mike Gallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333382103025419480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-88003661746375410822009-11-29T20:48:19.987-06:002009-11-29T20:48:19.987-06:00I watch Law and Order SVU quite a bit and have see...I watch Law and Order SVU quite a bit and have seen the anti-gun posters in the backgrounds of several scenes. Of course they always discourage the lowly victims of the crimes depicted of actually doing anything about them and have prosecuted those that have.<br /><br />On the other side of the argument, I would like to bring up an episode of "The Unit" where one of the wives was attacked by a stalker at the radio station where she worked. One of the other wives had a CCW in her purse and used it to successfully bring about a happy ending for the good guys, even though the station manager was pissing his pants about her having it.hazmathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07227908158784647637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-31010729858868252812009-11-29T18:00:22.179-06:002009-11-29T18:00:22.179-06:00I watched the movie "Gun Crazy" from 194...I watched the movie "Gun Crazy" from 1949 last night. It was written by blacklisted communist, Dalton Trumbo, who had also written "Johnny Got His Gun". The commies have been propagandizing us for a long time. Good movie though, very well done, I recommend it.Chashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966720423575333937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544914688307073747.post-48897638410187132222009-11-28T17:08:03.244-06:002009-11-28T17:08:03.244-06:00I had wanted to see that show, only because I curr...I had wanted to see that show, only because I currently live a few miles away from that old munitions factory. After reading a review in the local paper, I didn't bother watching. Turn-off quote from review: <i>"In these buildings, they made things that killed people!” gushes Goodwin. “... This is where violence was manufactured, where violence was sown, where violence was reaped!”</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
