Pizza Anyone?

[Neurotic]

I see I can't win this one. I guess I just feel safe enough that I don't NEED to carry a gun with me all the time. It's a right that each of us has, to carry a gun. But doesn't mean we need to. If your place of employment says no guns allowed, then like squid said quit or comply.

Granted it sucks that the guy got robbed at gunpoint while working for pizza hut, but there are hazzards with that job, you're trained on most of those hazzards and you are definately warned that these things can happen. Rules are rules.

We all win in the end Buddy! Thank goodness you live in a town where you feel safe!

BTW..... Hi I'm Tim, The hard headed, paranoid, gun toting redneck from Tennessee... Nice to meet you

[Neurotic]

LOL hi Tim!

I'm Justin the northern Nascar fan without a gun from Minnesota lol

Ok so my intro wasn't as good as yours.

I'm as pro-gun as any (well, most any), but look at it from a corporate perspective: this policy was most likely designed to shield Pizza Hut from lawsuit liability. This driver was a representative of the company, on company time, and possibly using a company vehicle to chase this guy down--they're on the hook if they're condoning this behavior (and possibly even if they aren't).

Edited to add that I'm also not comfortable with an armed person coming to my door, unless said person is law enforcement. If I found out that a pizza joint allowed its drivers to carry guns, especially without mandatory proper training, I wouldn't order from that place any more.

The Beast: yeah I agree, I wouldn't feel safe either. Would kind of creep me out.

Brorlis: Yes there are like 3 of us up here that LOVE NASCAR, and my grandfather use to love Gordon but now he can't stand him. he is a Jimmy Johnson fan, My dad was and still is a Dale Sr. Fan, but cheers for Kyle Bush. I myself has always been a Dale Jr. Fan.

I would always cheer for Sr. til that tragic day.
Jr. Reminded me of me when he first started out, kind of on the rebelious side. Guess I have always stuck with him even though he can't get a championship..........

Been to a few races, went to Bristle last year, went to the Coca Cola 600 in N.C. a few years back. *was my first race ever* and while I was in vegas two years ago, we did a ride along and had Greg Biffle be our driver. He was at the track getting some practice in, and was using jr's practice car and they asked him if he was willing to take us around the track since their main car for doing it was having engine problems. I'll see if I have the pictures of my ride along on my comp.

Oh, I also have two of the goodyear tires off of Jr's car from Daytona this year. I know someone who works public relations for Cutco I think it's called. She goes to every race every weekend. Just have to figure out what to do with my 2 used tires. Any ideas?

Yea use 1 to tie your gramps to a tree for being a JJ fan and the other for the old man for cheering KB.....And if that doesn't work I'll be more than happy to give them a home in my "other" bedroom where the 2 rims of the same sort live.

I purposely bought a home with an extra room so I could have space for all my Jr. stuff.

[Neurotic]

LOL my grandpa is old so he gets a pass lol.
I was thinking of holding them til I have a space for them and make a "game" room wher ei can use them to make a table. stack them on top of each oter and put a glass top ontop. of it. thought that would look kinda cool. lol

you have 2 rims? how and where did you get them?

[[AK]Brorlis]

I was on the way home from a job in Greensboro and detoured through Mooresville. Most of the teams have a souvenir outlet attached to the race shop. Jr motor sports had 1/2 dozen of em and I picked up 2. It was really cool how they took old parts, fiberglass and such off of busted race cars and sold them as souvenirs.

[[AK]Hylander]

I've got you both beat... I have Jrs and his spotter (TJ Majors) emails. And Junior's old phone number and AIM name.

If you want broken and torn up parts as souvenirs, you should become fans of Robby Gordon.

[[AK]Brorlis]

Wanna talk about 1 of a kind souvenirs???

We have a track here in Memphis that is very similar to Richmond. The drivers come here to test a bunch. I have a friend of mine that patrols the area around the park and one night as he ran radar he pulled over a corvette that was speeding. In the corvette was Jr. He proceeded to write him a ticket and promptly photocopied it for me. Yes....he wrote him a ticket....and Yes I have a copy of it. Its rather amusing.

I've been trying my best to avoid the political forums >.<

As with stores like K-mart, Their policy is no firearms on the property PERIOD.

My only thoughts on this, is that the only ones who will obey these rules, are the law-abiding citizens. Criminals could care less about the rules. They FAVOR these radicals that want maximum gun-control laws in place. If I were a criminal, and I read the above quote, I would pick K-mart over Wal-mart as a mark.

I'll stop there, upon pondering my further thoughts, I'm not sure if they're proper for the forums. Suffice it to say, I am pro gun ownership, and think all sane adults should own a sidearm. Naturally, only I should have ammunition...

Oh, it's not that, I've just been cautioned about inappropriateness before, so I am trying to avoid further reprimands.

My thoughts can be a bit radical at times, I'm certainly more of a middle of the fence, leaning towards conservatism, but sometimes my executions of actions may seem a bit...unwelcome.
