Why I Own Guns...

[Asylum Steve]

AKA, my daughters.

Any questions?

I'm not going near this one. I'm assuming besides guns, you also have a car...

Extremely lovely young ladies...:smilewinkgrin:

"I'm assuming besides guns, you also have a car..."

Two cars and a boat! The Great Dismal Swamp is a great place to get lost, or lose something. I also hear bouy 13 is a popular place for dumping bodies.... Just rumor mind you. I wouldn't know firsthand - yet.

Thanks Steve!

I'm with ya all the way, Robert! Keep them boys SCARED. lol

[Speed]

"Keep them boys SCARED."

Scared, afraid, terrified, night terrors, it's all the same to me.

Guns are a good thing when you have gorgeous daughters like that!

[Speed]

"when you have gorgeous daughters like that!"

Thanks JETA!

That's my line of thinking as well.

Plenty of questions.... but I'll stop there some were already answered (and they are all too young for me anyway)
I will say they are Beeeautiful.... and the younger blonde reminds me of one of my high school girlfriends. Her dad owned guns too, and so did her mom. In fact her mother pulled us over one night while we were out... yeah, her parents were cops! Considering I was known in 10 counties by all the police it was definately awkward on the first meeting of her parents, they knew me as soon as I pulled in the driveway, and it didn't help when pops mentioned the coroner lived next door, to which his daughter said "John knows, he used to go out whith his daughter too" Nothing like looking at photos of dead people at the dinner table Anyway the fact I drove a 69 GTO Judge Ram Air IV 400 that shook the house didn't help matters, or doing wheelies in the parking lot at school. :thumbsup:

Oh man, you had it ROUGH! Both of her parents were cops?! And the coroner lived next door - how convenient.

You drove a 69 GTO? I'll bet the cops did know you!

Thanks for the comments - and the story.

:-D

Too convenient
Yeah, I made a living racing for titles, it was hard on my parents yard, at one point I had 28 that I had won, and never went out without at least $5000 in my pocket, not bad for a high school kid in the late 70's I never lost in that car, and even beat a 67 Vette in my other beast, a 1966 Olds Delta 88 with a 455 in it. A battleship on wheels and steroids Never got caught either (by the parents either)....ahhh, the good old days.

What a gorgeous group of girls. You can be very proud.
BTW, When it comes to the ownership of a gun to fend the boys off, it just doesn't work. Trust me, they will still come, albeit a bit more respectful. Don't ask how I know this. :mad2:
BTW, The Grandkids are great. :thumbsup:

Thank you Bruce!

As for the boys, you are right - they will come. Whether they come respectful, afraid, uneasy, it doesn't matter to me. There is sometimes a fine line between fear and respect and I really don't care which side they are on. When one shows up without any fear or respect, then there's going to bo trouble!

You are right - grandkids are great! Our first, and so far only, grandchild is nearly 17 months old and he's much more fun than the kids were!

It might be a good idea to do away with all of your phone services and internet. At least until they are in their 30's.LOL. Nice shooting.

"with all of your phone services and internet. At least until they are in their 30's.LOL. Nice shooting."

If it was only that simple...

Thanks Greg!

Daddy's little girls...

[Speed]

This is one of the youngest daughter's classmates. His mother works with me, and she spent the Thanksgiving holiday in the hospital. So he stayed with us for five days.

For the record, he and my youngest are best friends. I had him help me sharpen my bush ax and my machete one day. When I cut my finger on the machete, he got nervous. After all, who sharpens a machete that sharp? A protective father??

;-)

Needless to say, he was a perfect gentleman...

[I_Fly]

Nice shots Speed. I think that last shot is especially great. They look like they were having a blast.

It's got to be great for his self-esteem to have such a bevy of beautiful friends.

The shots of you with your daughters are nice also. The youngest seems to have a natural posing instinct for having her portrait made.

Ack! Who is that creepy old man with those girls!?! I thought you said you scared those ones away?





oh wait...is that you? Ummm....nevermind...

Adina, I can't believe you would cut me like that.

Wait a minute, this is Adina...of course you're going to take a shot at me...

Good one!

:-D

[brmill26]

Speed - you have a beautiful family! The pictures and the location are wonderful as well. Better keep those guns loaded... ;)

[MJS]

Adina, I'd stick up for Speed, but I can't help it if you have good eyes.

[Speed]

but I can't help it if you have good eyes.

Michael, really. Where's the love man?

Geez...

;-)

Thank you!

And I'm quick to load a gun...

[Overbeyond]

Just cannot believe what I'm reading in this thread.
You have four young daughters so you load your house with guns to protect them!?
They look old enough so why not just give them a gun each for their handbags or maybe that has been already dealt with.
I shudder to even think further on this .....
