Aside from issues related to apparent threats and self-defense, who the hell thought it was a good idea to promote hugging sweaty people in the midst of their exercise regimens?

This is the first I've heard of all this.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

Thank God I live in the country, all I have to worry about is meth! :mrgreen:

What type/brand of light are you using? I'm always in the market for a light weight bright light.


And most important - he or any guy "hugger" for that matter grabs on a gal or guy, could that not be some sort of assault/battery?
