Molly B. Posted August 16, 2011 at 10:25 PM Share Posted August 16, 2011 at 10:25 PM We will be needing tactical self-defense tongue depressors to hand out at the upcoming town hall meetings (might be as many as 5-6 town halls Feb. 20-29) and IGOLD on Mar. 7. We need volunteers to print out and apply 2/3" x 3 7/16" labels on 6" x 3/4" x 1/16" craft sticks. The labels are available at most office supply places and the craft sticks are available at Wal-martand most craft supply places. The ones at Wal-mart come 300 to a box. The ISP website has changed the url for the webpage advising women to use a hair comb, car key, or gagging yourself to vomit so the old labels are outdated. A file is attached for making the labels. We would like to have at least a hundred of these for each town hall and 1,000 for IGOLD. Please sign up here if you are willing to volunteer. You will need to make arrangements to get them to us in time for the meetings. Tongue depressor labels.pdfTongue depressor labels.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilbert Posted February 8, 2012 at 11:26 PM Share Posted February 8, 2012 at 11:26 PM I seem to remember my father saying something about a “sharp stick in the eye.” What if one end is cut into a point, people could have a multi-purpose defense tool. Vomit or poke them in the eye. Then again the IL AG would probably file charges of premeditated assault with a dangerous weapon against the intended victim.

If guns stolen from residences are a bad thing, then why not allow us to take our guns with us, outside the residence, so that we are "prepared to defend yourself".

The safest thing is to round them up and destroy them. Especially historical pieces - they don't have loaded chamber indicators. I just had to say that because the other day I was shown a VERY old Government 1911 - Property US Army - that had been chopped into pieces . . . . lest a criminal got his hands on it.
