I was looking at some pictu.... I mean.... I was reading an article about Angelina Jolie and noticed her take on guns for self defense...
'If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them,' she says with a dry candour.
It is a tough read, but the the knot on the back of my head that Marshal'ette gave me, helped me stay focused all the way through.

Are you trying to tell me that there is writing on that page? :o ;D
-
You probably have a Playboy subscription for the articles and cartoons too.

Luckily there is.... it saved me from knot #2.

She SEEMS to be pro 2A, I thought she was just another Hollywood idiot ?
-
Wow, I may need to rethink things...... I hate to be on the same side as her on anything.
-
I love a heavily armed woman. ;D

Uhm, why?
You'd prefer to be prey because you don't want to agree with an intelligent (if eccentric) woman?

Sarcasm my good man, sarcasm.

Wow! My first time on DRTV forums and I can appreciate this particular "subject."
As for eccentric, we know what differntiates "eccentric" from that famous Patsy Cline song. $$$$!
To AJ's credit, who wouldn't be a bit "eccentric" after growing up as an actor's kid. Anyhow, sounds like she's well travelled now, been involved with the UN, seen the good and bad of the world, and still comes home on the Right side of the 2A. +1 to her.
Speaking of actor's kid, how the hell did John Voight's daughter turn out like THAT!?

One of my favorite pic,... I mean articles ;D

Great article, didn't notice the pics, I guess I'll have to go back sometime and look.
(trying to get back on M'ette's good side)
Okay, okay, I looked, but I didn't enjoy it.
Well, maybe a little.
Maybe a little more than a little.
Guess I go back on the "Typical Male" list.

Heres a few more pics:

The rifle is an AR, You can see the Forward assist

damn shame she got a big set of fakies... That really just turns me of.
-
The 'Match' version of the USP was a production model until shortly before Tomb Raider came out.
Needless to say, they are somewhat more collectable now.
BTW, I'm not sold that she's all pro-2nd-amendment. Don't have proof otherwise, just a hunch.

I'm pretty sure we are all 4 shots of takillya away form doing stuff we would not do sober.

Or less. One of the reasons I gave up drinking.
Some people are fighters when they drink, I was a lover. There wasn't a homely woman in the room. Gave new meaning to sobering up.
"damn shame she got a big set of fakies... That really just turns me of."
+1 Sad thing is she would be beautiful without the "enhancements", looks ridiculous with them. Then again, I don't even like make up, never understood it.

I bet you don't own any polymer guns either. ;D

Well I like the article, got any more? ;D
-
Hey TAB - hers are real. She needed to wear a wonder bra to "buff up" for Tomb Raider. Most of the time, she's not that "rounded."
Though, after baby comes, ou can bet she's gonna have some quality... figure.
-

ahhhhhhhhhhhh ~~ excuse me?? If you would take a look at me in the morning....believe me big boy..
you will believe in it. You would be praying to the highest gods to make more.

Can we get Marshal's opinion on that?!?!?!? ;D
-
Yes you can... but..... ;D...... You really know how to back a man in the corner don't ya..
You know that whatever he says is going to be "wrong"... and even though you get your answer.. he gets Hell here!
Either for lying and saying I'm beautiful in the morning..(which even if you are a blind one eyed dog, you would know THAT wasn't true!...) or saying that he is ever grateful for the makeup I put on everyday.. LOL
His ass is gonna be grass and I'm gonna be the lawnmower. :D ;D ;D
-
........I'm not sold that she's all pro-2nd-amendment. Don't have proof otherwise, just a hunch.
Well, at least she's pro- Self defense. That's a start, and a hell of a lot better than most of the "who's hot in Hollywood" list.

Thats a big part of the prob... women don't think they look good...( yet you think men are skrewed up) you want to know how to impress a guy?
Show up, "beleave in yourself"( you can't love anyone else if you don't love yourself), Bring food and say what on your mean/mean what you say..

When we look at someone we know, we always see a composite view, based mostly on the personality. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder.
My wife and I work together, a two person remodeling/cabinetmaking business. She gave up makeup years ago, didn't mix with sawdust. At the end of a day of demolition and she's covered with plaster dust, sawdust and God knows what else, she's still the most beautiful woman I know.
Another point, men don't wear makeup and women still manage to fall for them.
-
The younger girls here are sometimes really caked up, and it looks really trashy. The japanese expression is "keshou ga atsui", while it does mean "thick makeup" in English ironically the word atsui also means "hot", different kanji though. Yeah, took me a little while to realize what they meant, my teachers don't speak English. Ahhhh... language barrier you make things interesting.
-
Barring the condition known as "Just plain fug-ugly", any woman is a lovely wonderful sight to behold. You can scrub 'em up, wrap 'em up, and they're just fine. OR you can powder them and paint them....that's fine too.
When you go beyond good looks, that's when the heart and personality count, and that's why so many people like my wife. Hell, that's why we all bubble all over Marshall'ette every chance we get (or as much as we can get away with). When they have looks AND the intangibles, now that's good stuff!
Makeup doesn't have much to do with being a "hottie".

Okay, this one is a little off topic, but I've got to tell it, about women and guns.
My ex-wife, give the devil her due, had real style when it came to guns. Her favorite was a S&W 586, four inch barrel, carried in a Ranger nylon holster with a forward cant and a ranger nylon belt with cartridge loops. She was also a hell of a shot.
One day we're at the local outdoor range, getting set up at the 25yd end. The guy next to her notices her and now his .38 is recoiling up like he had a .44 magnum. He's got 8 clay pigeons on the bank at 25 yds, and he can't hit them to save himself. He turns to her and tells her she's welcome to try to hit his targets if she wants. She puts on her gunbelt, loads up and watches him show off. when he finally gets down to 6 targets, she draws the .357 and proceeds to take out the remaining 6 targets. His head looked like it was on a swivel, looks at her, looks at the clay pigeons disappearing, looks at her... The look on his face was beyond description.
I would guess he gave up shooting after that.
-
Sounds like the time when I wanted to try out some new .44 mag loads and had to work so my wife went to the range to test them for me , she cronograped them and checked for accuracy at 1 inch MOA at 100 yards. After that she packed up and all they could say is"Have a good day Miss" . What gets my goat is she never,NEVER practices. Sometimes thay just don't play fair!
-
My ex was also recoil proof. Her favorite handgun was a Thompson Contender in .444 Marlin. Made my teeth hurt to shoot it.
-
I bet you don't own any polymer guns either. ;D
HA! Great post. I bet they don't use teflon or silicon for cleaning either...
-
I dont think I have ever been more scared to get married now. Thanks everyone!!!!
-
Nothing like a woman to show you the meaning of fear....and guilt.
Seriously, you must have missed my posts. I've been married twenty years and have loved every minute of it. We're together practically 24/7, never "fight", rarely "argue", she's my best friend and partner in everything I do.
It can be done.
We won't talk about my ex-wife.
-
There's always an ex to make you learn real fast what a mistake can really be. LOL
And remember ...no matter how good lookin' he or she is........................
there's someone ...someplace...that's sick of their shit! ;D :D ;D

My wife of ALMOST 25 years (anniversary next week) jokes that the reason she carries a wheel gun and I carry a semi-auto is that I need 15 rounds to score as many hits as she does with her 6-shooter.
And everyday I get down on my knees and say a little prayer of Thanksgiving that God allowed me to marry SO far out of my league!!
And I'm sure Marshal does the same thing!! At least, if he knows what's good for him he does. lol

Okay, I told in another post that one reason I gave up drinking is that all women looked beautiful when I drank.
Well, I'm at this wedding, and we've been celebrating pretty good, when one of our group suggested going to this bar that was "full of surprises".
We go there and I'd never seen a bar with so many "beautiful" women, just couldn't understand it.
After a period of smiling and talking to these girls, he tells us they all have "guns".
And that's the other reason I gave up drinking.

Read this post to the end, made me laugh,it was great, married 42 years and still getting knots on my Irish head.

Her holster's a nice fit, though. ;)
Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

This is the only girl thread I could find to post this in.. LOL
On Easter the ex-cheerleader (age 19) in this picture was watching a road
that leads to a NATO military base when she observed a man digging by the
road. She engaged the target, and she shot him. Turned out he was a bomb
maker for the Taliban, and he was burying an IED that was to be detonated
when a US patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly
killed and wounded several soldiers.
The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards.
She shot him as he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot struck him in
the butt blowing into the bomb which detonated. Basically, she blew his ass
off.
The Air Force made a motivational poster of her. Her name is Kimmy. To you
we say,Thanks for your service.

Wow she looks like she is wearing an Airforce insign as well. Airforce does have alot of hot girls. Pope Airforce base is connected to Bragg.
Dude, this one time...uhhh... Wait Marshal'ette is kinda like my second mom. So I cant tell that story. She'll read it.

Do I detect a 'war story'?
Ya know the diff between a 'war story' and a fairy tale? One starts "Once upon a time" the other starts "Dude, this ain't no sh!t". ;D

hahaha.... believe me.. I raised 2 boys who told me "everything" . Sometimes I wished that they hadn't.. but they did.. and they both luuuuved the girls... and the girls luuuuved them... and I got to hear alllll the details.. ::)
And what they left out then... they proceed to reminisce and tell it now around a camp fire ..so I have to hear it still. :o
So NOTHING you could say Ksail would even begin to bother this old mom. ;)

That almost sounds like a challenge...

Part of the reason I hang out with you guys, maybe I can wise up before its too late. ;)
The lessons I've learned from people who have lived a lot longer than me have been more beneficial and fulfilling than anything I received in college.
And that Kimmy is one hell of a shot!
