#15  Just remember, actually using wasp spray on someone for any reason is a felony. It contains what is essentially a chemical weapon (Nerve agent). It is horribly bad advice to tell someone to use it for self defense. Course, when you're planning to be a democrat operative and slaughter a bunch of people, use whatever the hell you want.

#13  And wasp spray ain't illegal.

However, any container in excess of 12 oz is considered an aerosol of war.

Snark of the day, moderator division.

#11  Screw pepper spray. Bring wasp spray. That shit shoots a stream 20ft long and burns just as bad.

#10  With apologies to Major T.J. "King" Kong, "Shoot, a fellow could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff."

#9  Isn't that inventory standard social wear?
dude takes the train right? Maybe he works late.

I would drop the pepper spray, add my stunner, baton and 2nd chance vest.

#6  Don't you know, gun control is only for the peasants. John is about to find out if he's among the inner party or just a prole.

Nah, just really glad to see them.

#4  A revolver in his pocket? Probably just a extremely paranoid employee.

#3  The promotion will depend on who was on his senior federal official target list.

#2  Should have read the whole thing first:

•Wienke has been placed on leave while the investigation is carried

$50 says he gets a promotion. Any takers?
