    It always amazes me how they can just give guns to some people I know. Wait, more like it scares me.

    Funny. You’re great at recognizing great lines (and sharing them).

    I grew up with guns and have probably irreversibly poisoned all of northeast Louisiana with all the lead I’ve fired through cans and whatnot target shooting with my Dad and brothers over the years.

    I hope your friend is practicing his/her doughnut eating. That’s a vital part of police work. I’d hate for them to flunk out of the academy because they couldn’t wolf down a dozen at one sitting.

    One of the questions they should ask on the test is, “Are you inordinately excited by the prospect of being given a gun?”

    Y’know… your friend scares me. More than that, I’m scared we have a lot of friends like that here in south Georgia as well!

    My thoughts, exactly.

    Yeah. Should be very interesting to see what happens.

    My brother said pretty much the exact same thing when he was telling me about his new job with the DEA. FRIGHTENING.

    A guy I went to high school with loved to tell everybody “I’m gonna kill people when I grow up!” which was his way of saying he wanted to join the military. I always hoped they wouldn’t let him in.

    Yeah, it’s hard to know if, for those organizations, it’s an asset or a liability when people REALLY want to be accepted so they have access to weapons.

    That’s too funny! My hubby’s with the RCMP here in Canada, and they’ve recently brought polygraph testing into their application process. It helps to weed out a lot of the crazies, let me tell ya!

    Just the mention of the word ‘polygraph’ and my heart beats faster and I start to sweat! 🙂

    I bet you think I don’t love you anymore don’t you? I do! I’m just so freakin busy lately. I’m sorry I’ve been a sucky blog friend.

    At any rate…lol … you’ll have to tell me where your friend lives so I know to stay far, far away. LOL
