CCW’s will change California for the better

One never knows how things will shake out, but this seemed like a major step forward in California for the average law abiding citizen. Here’s how the Sheriff in San Diego released the news:

The Sheriff in Orange county California stated that she was going to abide by the decision immediately.

To the east in Connecticut, a little civil disobedience is taking place much to the outcry of some of the areas most liberal newspapers calling for the arrest and imprisonment of those who refuse to turn in their guns to a government that fails to respect the 2nd amendment.

Connecticut may have bite off more than they can chew with 300,000 gun owners and about 6,000 law enforcement . The smart thing would be for the police in Connecticut to drop the enforcement of such a poorly considered law… but then, I have never seen good judgement in anything political in the east… I am still shaking my head in wonder at the banning of 64 ounce sodas in NYC.

who is really being protected when you disarm the public?

CLICK on the above picture to read a survey of current and retired police officers and what they REALLY think about guns in the hands of law abiding citizens.

With all of this talk about gun control, I have to ask this simple question: WHO are we really trying to protect? According to a recent survey of police officers… it seems that if we are really trying to protect people then we should allow law abiding citizens the right to carry.

Speaking of insanity, have you noticed that it is always the places that guns are forbidden that have the most violence. It doesn’t matter if it is a city, a school, a theater or a university ( the latest was a crazy with a knife)… but if someone is looking to hurt others they look for safe, unarmed, soft targets.

So then, who is really being protected when the majority of Americans become disarmed? The answer is quite simple… those with guards and guns.

a free people …

Here I am with a Wildebeest from my adventures in South Africa and a "Benefactor" certificate from the NRA.
Here I am with a Wildebeest from my adventures in South Africa and a “Benefactor” certificate from the NRA.

Most of the time I talk about food and family on my blog and I try to stay away from things that upset an evening’s brandy in front of the fire. However, the shrill marketing approach out of Washington is a bit over the top, the New York City uber rich mayor’s latest effort to control the world with his money and local California Senators complaining about gun control all the while bristling with weapons themselves… is unsettling at best.

There is an effort — again out of Washington — to divided and pit people against each other for their own personal gain. They’ve enlisted the usual wacked out celebrities, hypocrites and opportunists to carry water for them on gun control.
One would think getting the country moving forward would be high on the agenda, creating new jobs, factories and the like… but again, I am naive.

So, let me recommend to you that you might like to participate in this discussion by joining the NRA (even if you have never fired a gun) and receiving training and go on a hunt and experience what life and living  is all about. I have a few links to the right that might help you get started!

You have a right called the second amendment … it is worth experiencing & learning more about!

now thats a bottle opener

! !!!!!9825

There are bottle openers and there are bottle openers. One type of opener I have admired is a simple 50 caliber shell turned into one. Simple, convenient and always raises a smile or opens someones eye. Some folks actually ask me if it is dangerous or will explode? I have to remind myself that I live near a university where ignorance abounds.

Here are a couple of places to buy such a great opener:

Last night, I attended a  Friends of the NRA  fundraising event in Paso Robles. There were a fair few folks who happened to drop by for a tri-tip, bbq’d chicken or ribs dinner. I didn’t win or successfully bid on anything this year, but I did walk away with a couple of bottle openers… which pleased me. Fun times!

the second amendment protects all our other rights

If you look around my page, you will notice that I support hunting and the NRA. So, I am saddened by the discussion of gun control as a wedge issue covering the big issues of our time, including our falling economy, reducing opportunities and jobs.

If our country continues on this self destructive path, there will be a greater need for personal protection and not less.
