1) Where's the coffee pot?
2) Is the Captain in his dayroom?
3) Where's my focs'le?
4) When's my watch?

It's been a year since the seizure of the MV Maersk Alabama, and did anyone realize that US Merchant Mariners STILL do not have firearms with which to defend their vessels and their lives?

And the private sector just found out the hard way how much it costs to run an anti-piracy ship:

Arm the effin' crews and get the lawyers off our backs should we have to actually, you know...like shoot some beggars out in the middle of nowhere.

hostis humani generis...treat them as such. Shoot them down on the decks, and shovel the wounded over the side to the sharks.

None of the women went "Awwwwwww!", but I sure did. (I think Pookie would have preferred a car...dames are funny that way)

I find it disturbing and comforting that there literally is a fetus who owns such a piece.

Since I ken that you're one of the "goto 4 ammo guys" hereabouts, I'd say that the odds are in your favor.

Heck...if you come with a reloading press, I'd adopt you!
