Thanks to all who responded. Lots of great advice thanks to alot of personal experience. I love you guys :) In a strictly heterosexual way of course :)

Use the word Greek word "Philos," as it means a love in a 'brotherly' way.

I could not agree with you more.

I have a hard time grasping that anyone in a true face to face encounter would have the time to chamber a round. <snip>

Too much Hollywood. People see stuff in the movies and believe. They think because character "X" in movie "Y" has time to rack the slide before anything else happens that they (the public) are brainwashed into thinking that they will have the same amount of time to react.

In the movies the actors rack the slide for effect; to let you see that they're ready for business. Just drawing a gun doesn't have the same effect as picking one up out of a desk drawer, slapping in a magazine and then racking the slide.

We must remember that Hollywood rarely reflects real life.
