See, I just never ever ever touch a gun from someone that I don't know
and trust.  There's just no reason for it, especially where I'm living
now.

See, my parents taught me to use words, even though we lived out in the
boonies.  I couldn't have beat anybody up had I wanted to, at least not
until I got to sophmore year in HS, and by then there wasn't anybody
worth beating up.  In my middle school, some kid ticked me off one day
before class, and I tore into him with all of my verbal skills, and
shocked everybody around with comments about his ancestry and such.  The
principal had the balls to tell us that if I'd beat him up I wouldn't
have been suspended.  Stupid-assed bastard.  There were some good things
about living there, but the general attitude of people was NOT one of
them.
