Ah... the "People of Walmart"... They even have a website... (post this under "General Discussions - Humor"...)

http://www.peopleofwalmart.com/

Some of the "Featured Creatures" are truly special. I somehow wish that this were not for international consumption, but though disgusting - it's real, it reflects truth and has absolutely nothing to do with Lugers.

What it does reflect on is the level of comfort people in the United States feel in public. When I teach self defense classes, I teach the levels of awareness.... Unaware, Aware, Alert, React. If it's possible to be oblivious to everyone around you and not really even care that would be a below zero level.

When dealing with self-defense, we know that attackers look for vulnerable people that are unaware of their surroundings. Somehow, I don't think banning products that are perceived as dangerous by the politically correct will have much impact in attacker's choice of victims.

So... returning to our Lugers, I'll have to buy my 9mm Luger ammo elsewhere in the future, or even make it myself. Not much of a loss for me. I'll probably be safer staying at home.
