another from today's newspaper funnies:
http://www.dilbert.com/strips/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
note: be sure to set date to 12/13/10 on the comic's web site
I wonder how many of us have thought of doing the same thing to our computers on occassion?

You mean here on this forum where 75% of the posts fall into three categories:
- What IF a Post Office is located on/in/over/under _____________________________. Can I still carry there?
- Avoiding the 30.06/51% intent for incorrect signage
- Hypothetical Scenarios and Situations that are marginally believable

That just about sums it up along with the "Gun A vs. Gun B" posts and the 'I love my (insert gun name)" posts.

Reminds me of the old joke about "I shall become rich by inventing a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the Internet".

If a guy tries to stab me through the internet, can I draw my gun and shoot my computer? Is that legal? Would I be charged with failure to conceal? What if someoe tries to stab me through the automated postal machine at the post office?

By the way, to any newbies here who may be scared away from asking questions based on this silly little thread. Please ask questions. Most of us are happy to help answer them. My OP was originally meant for people who post insulting things like "all guns should be banned" etc.
OK, that's out of the way. Carry on ...

+1 if you do have questions please ask. However, please use the search function to see if someone else asked the question you were contemplating in the past. For example searching for Post Office to answer the question "Can I carry in a PO?" yields:
