T-Ray-
I don't know if it was the experience I am currently facing, V-Tech, Bailey, the Amish school or just plain growing up (sucks, wanted to hold on to the carefree for as long as possible, cause let's face it the real world can suck), or a combination of all of the above, but I turned from total pacifist to gun-nut in about 30 days. Shit, I am the poster-boy for emergency concealed carry permits, and why it shouldn't take several weeks (let alone several days) to attain one.

I do truly hope I never, ever have to use it.
