Packs heat. I don't know if anyone has seen this yet. Anyway, here is the link which includes a video of Luke Scott showing off and using his glock.

Repent

My favorite quote : "That's a poor soul right there."

Remind me not to ask for his autograph. I don't want to get blown away when I try to pull out my pen.

Saw that yesterday, thought it was great! Loved the Mailman's comments about it more though about where you're at and who you're with....and what time your doing it all. Contrary to popular belief, they can't live a normal life, they gave that up when they started making non-normal cash, but that's a well discussed topic already.

I think that notion, that they can't lead a "normal life", is a load of crap. First, it depends on what a normal life is. If, like Stephen Jackson (referenced in the article), a normal life is partying at strip clubs until 2am, yes that will lead to trouble. Just as it leads to trouble for almost everyone else who tries to lead that lifestyle for long.

Maybe it's just me but I am home by 10pm almost every night. That may seem boring or ordinary to others. To me, my wife and my kids, it's what I have to do to ensure I provide a stable environment for my family. Would I like to go out and party? Maybe every once in a while. Would I sacrifice my family to do that? Never.

Some of these professional athletes wouldn't sacrifice an instant of self gratification for anyone or anything. When something bad happens, they think "Poor me, I'm a victim of my own success." What they should be saying is "dumb-ass me, I'm a victim of my own poor judgement and failure to display any self discipline." I'm all for having a good time but if/when trouble finds you, or you find it, don't blame it on your success. Blame it on the poor decisions you made that got you there. I've found enough trouble to know, with only few exceptions, if I had made better decisions, I would not have been in that situation.

Guns make some people feel safe, and I say more power to ya' if you're one of them. The likelihood that you'll ever have to fire a round in public, outside a shooting range, should be rare if not mathematically minute. However, if you are packing with the attitude of "I'm ready, whenever, wherever", you better be asking yourself if what you are doing is so important you need to carry a weapon so you may accomplish that. The answer could be yes, don't get me wrong, but if the answer is no, well, you know where I'm heading with this.

As for hunters, I'm not one of them myself, but I love venison and other meats from game hunting. Fish? Love it too. I'm sure glad someone's doing it because I would not know the first thing about stalking, tracking or otherwise hunting an animal. Hell, even as a hobby, guns are okay by me. My brother is a collector and he loves going to the firing range (he calls his assorted collection of high caliber handguns "his girls"). Firearms have never appealled to me, personally. I guess all I'm saying is, I don't have a problem with guns or people who choose to carry them. I do have a problem with the notion that you can't live your life without them or that the most recent examples of athletes and guns is in anyway excusable or even justifiable.

In that sense, Luke Scott's comments strike me as a little too cavalier about something as deadly as the weapon he was displaying.

eta: I am also aware the Scott grew up in a pretty rough area and that may be an influence in his attitude. In tha light, it is more understandable but only by a matter of degrees.

Maybe we should ask Luke to be Ensberg's personal body guard. Intersting cast of characters on this team if nothing else.

To my point Tom, if you and your professional sports figures are haning out at the crib, your in no danger. However, start floating around town either to the grocery store, or down Richmond and you could be asking for trouble. Put me there with my wallet, subtract the two cents I'm putting in this tread, and I'm standing there with a nickel in one hand and a free pass to go where I want too. Put a sports or entertainment figure in the same spot, and I guarantee there is someone in the vacinitiy that sees nothing but a payday, legally or illegally.

Other than that, the rest of your post was on the money.

I noticed in the video he was driving with out a seatbelt. That Glock won't protect him from flying through the windsheild. Which do you think is more likely? An accident or a robbery? I say accident. Seatbelts aren't as manly as glocks though.
