    Another poll to vote on.

    I don't think they like the way this one is going.

    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Anybody notice how dumb the options were?

    Why did they have to split yes and only defensively. Who thinks it is okay to offensively carry firearms? The application of offensively carrying firearms is warfare or mass shootings.

    i think they were just trying to split the numbers.

    You caught that too? I laughed when I saw that one, I mean unless as you pointed out a person was going to carry to be offensive then what other reason would there to be to carry? Of course you hit the nail on the head as the old saying goes, using trick questions to produce phony poll results is an old gimmick but it sure backfired bigtime on them on that one, Lol!!

    How would you know "When" your going to need your gun defensively?

    Isn't that the whole point?

    Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

    But then I'm just a simple Dakota Farm boy.

    Actually, you should combine the two, so we have 88% + 4% because you are
    only permitted to carry defensively, so 92% agree with CC.

    Considering the sponsor of that poll I bet somebody is going to be taking a lot of heat for coming up with that idea! I would also bet that's one poll they wish would just quietly go away, Lol!

    I thought it was interested when I voted the total came out to like 102% of people, of which something like 93% said yes or yes defensively.

    Thanks for the link. I hope my vote helped to deflate their position.

    Let's see how the turn that one. No doubt they will, but someone will have to spend considerable time thinking it up.
