The "got no DSL" Blues, & What I Did This Weekend.

defense
It's a good thing that my 'net connection (Qwest DSL, for the terminally curious) went down yesterday, and just now came back up - I didn't have anything to say, anyhow!
My wife and I spent Sunday in a class titled "Legal Defense: Firearms, Weapons and Self Defense in Oregon." The class description says it's 4 hours, but in reality it's actually closer to 8. To be able to pick a defense attorney's brain for a whole day is more than worth the price of admission! The information was terrific, and the case studies are eye-opening.
(If you prowl the various gun forums, you've no doubt seen the flame sessions with regard to carrying reloaded ammunition for self-defense. Some self-anointed "expert" invariably opines something to the effect that "if it's a 'good shoot', it doesn't matter what ammo you use." Trouble is, there is rarely an incident between any two people that is so cut-and-dry, and the case studies we went through brought that point home quite forcefully. That alone was worth the entire cost of the class.)
If you're anywhere near Oregon's Willamette Valley, you owe it to yourself to take this course next time it's offered.
