However there is logic to this notion, while San Francisco doesn't hold a monopoly on sheeple, it is near impossible for a law abiding citizen to get a carry permit. Last but not least ,like NY or Chicago, most people know where it is without having to use Google maps...

Roger that.

I live on a mountain with one dirt access road, a well, two vegetable gardens, a woodstove, abundant wild game and a pond, and I still carry condition one. I go to a small farm town once or twice a month for goods I can't make or grow, and I carry concealed, there.

In the big city, I'd be on "red" day and night, these days.

I'm with you; let's kill the terrorists anywhere else in the world and get back to living free and doing or saying whatever we damn well feel like doing or saying without having to tiptoe around Islamic BS.

The bad guys will have plenty of ideas on their own.

Add Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and possibly Montana to that list. I like Montana, but of late, it's more like San Francisco.

The Global War on Terror is being fought,... well, globally, so I've just signed a contact, (Phase IV, arming the populace). After mission completion, I'll turn my weapon over to the ODA commander in my area of assignment.

I heard that about Montana. How in the hell did the Commie Party USA manage to set up their western HQ in Missoula? I thought Montana folk weren't too friendly to outsiders. How'd those douche bags get in there?

It's the "Jackson Hole dilemma", Billionaires move in, Millionaires move out.

Ted Turner and Harrison Ford had alot to do about Hollywood elites moving there, followed there closely were their minions.

If they are willing to martyr themselves in the process, I can do several times more damage.

The underground and auxillary support structure is already established here in the Muslim community, or several other minority groups.

The bad guys understand this, and are biding their time, for now, and we have been lucky in stopping their plans (in most cases through their own ineptitude). So far, since the huge blow of 9/11, it has been amateur hour.

That doesn't mean they will stop trying, or not eventually succeed.

The magnitude of damage of another coordinated effort should not be underestimated.

We have to get serious about these threats. Thus far, we have been lucky.

When I was at NPS, we were enlisted by the State of CA to do an exercise to see if their homeland security guys could stop what we planned. Prof Arquilla was not part of the exercise (had he been things would have been much worse). In the end we took out the port in Long Beach and the Golden Gate Bridge in a coordinated attack. Pretty scary what 40 of us could divise.

I was talking about this type of scenario the other day in my office. My biggest fear is suicide bombers in shopping malls during the Christmas season.
