Be careful what we say.

People, without actually meaning it, say “I’m going to kill you!” Often, it just an expression. At times it is said laughing as a joke, others out of frustration. Once I started carrying I realized it was an expression I could/should no longer use. I realized that carrying a tool that could do just that took away my ability to joke in that fashion, let alone when I was upset.
I would carefully proceed with an armed person, unknown to me, that told me they were going to kill me or execute me. I must remain aware that they might just mean it. Not something to take lightly, in my opinion.
Then again, I’m an old lady so your comment may just fit!

I'm in Georgia. That phrase is considered by law a "terroristic threat". I don't believe they care if you are armed or not. I know of people who have been prosecuted simply because someone pushed their buttons and they lost their temper and said "I'll kill you". I don't know if their lawyer got them off or not. Either way, I'm sure the bail and legal fees weren't cheap.Posted 02-16-2012 at 20:50 by MtnBiker
