| I wouldn't be at the job I am at now (got it through another fencer)
I wouldn't have the friends I have now
I wouldn't be as active as I am now.
I would probably be a bitter, shut-in computer geek working retail somewhere.

| Interesting how a lot of us say we would have mental problems. Fencing keeps those of us on the brink of sanity from falling? Interesting....

| I would probably be very insecure about myself and not feel as free as I do when I am at fencing and with friends. I get to meet so many diffrent people that I would never have met before and I don't think I would be as out going. I wouldn't give it up for the world.

I don't know who said that but they must have seen a foil in the hands of a saberist

| Blasting away at cardboard...
...at IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) tournaments with a Heckler & Koch USP .45. i was very much into pistol shooting before moving to Alaska.
Either that or re-invest in another AR-15 kit with a .50 Beowulf upper. You need some heavy-hitting firepower with all the bears lurking around here.

| Aye. I do find the HK's to be better than the Glock's, but that's just my personal opinion. Fit's my hand better, for one thing. But while Hk only has a few decent handguns, Glock has a LOT of handguns, and every single damn one of them is really good. And then there's Brown, but I like flashy, and Brown is not flashy. I know, I'm despicable. but why else would I own all of Walther's weapons? P99- drool....  | |
