It blindsided me.

In the land of the blind, the two-eyed dude is, apparently, a sitting duck.

Blind dude who can shoot like that probably still stands up to piss.

So now it's been reduced to a formula? Jeez, I remember when it used to require careful breeding and attentive nurturing to produce one of these.

I don't know, it didn't affect his job as a health and safety inspector at a meat processing facility.

Even a blind nut shoots a squirrel from time to time.

Alcohol and gun powder mix fine, but it tastes awful.

Yeah, but it's registered, and inspected, and insured, and you need to be licensed, and they can take it away from you if you kill people with it.

A gun is just WAY more convenient.

In Floriduh, there are none so blind that they will not shoot.

I think I see the problem, here. A "Stand Your Ground" law is also, by definition, a "Potential Victim Run Like Hell" law. The victim in this case was obviously thinking, "Aw, he's blind! He couldn't hit a sitt-"

I was just in Florida for vacation. I heard loud music and went to the movies but didn't shoot anyone!

<i>"Dewitt charged him, and Rogers shot him dead. Under Florida law, that’s standing your ground"</i>

Rogers got the gun which (rightly) put Dewitt in fear for his life so charged Rogers in hopes to disarm him. If Rogers had ended up dead, Dewitt would have been acquitted*. SYG: Is there anything it can't do? ____________________________ * unless he's blah, obvs
