Where Is America?

Happy "May" Day.

I've posted a short video in the right sidebar that I encourage everyone to watch.  It has an important message as it relates to the future of America...or does America even have a future?

Homeless In America

My goal in life is to protect those around me.  As such I'm asking that you support the Veterans that lived and died to give the American people the freedoms they now enjoy.  Keep in mind however that those freedoms can be withdrawn by a simple executive order.
Take care each day as you ignore what is going on around you.  Think about how it is that you enjoy freedom and protect it at all cost.

CARRY WHEN?

I read a article today that says exactly what I've thought over the years.  For some reason I've never put it to paper or keyboard so I'll share it with you now.  Take it to heart and do as it says and your life will be safer because of your action:

Carry on, 

Carry often, 

Carry absolutely everywhere! 

AND...

Never leave your cave without your club!

BALLOONS AS A DEFENSIVE

I just finished watching this short but very informative video and had to share it with my readers here.  It is fact filled, non biased and worth watching.  Please do.

Concealed Carry ~ My 3 Top Methods Of Concealment

I don't know the creator of this video but he does have some valid and helpful information.  I encourage you to watch the video and make your own decision as to what is best for you.

Should You Buy Your Next Gun At The Local Pawn Shop?

Well there's a question you likely haven't considered before, right?  I know, I didn't either until a new pawn shop opened up in my local area and I stopped in to see what they had to offer.  I was totally amazed at the selection of pretty much everything you can imagine.  Of course what caught my eye almost immediately was their selection of new and used handguns, rifles and shotguns.  They were securely displayed and the person that handled that part of the shop really knew his stuff.  Any and all questions I asked of him were answered in detail without hesitation.  I don't know where they found him but he was a goldmine of information.

Some of the used weapons I got my hot little hands on were not of great quality but certainly operable.  If you took your time to clean them and ensure that all the parts inside were okay and not totally worn out they would have been a good choice for a beginner.  Of course the selection of new handguns was what I was most interested in.  They had a very large selection of semi-automatics as well as revolvers all of which were popular at the time.  Some of them came with "extras" and as I'm always interested in getting more bang for my buck that's what I looked at the most.

I found the owner of the shop and he was an elderly gentleman that also knew his business inside out and backwards.  He told me that since his opening the largest part of their sales was in the gun department.  That of course didn't surprise me as in my area of the U.S. there are a lot of concealed carry folks that are always looking to update their equipment as well as wanting more and more information about how to carry a concealed weapon.

As I left him I gave him my card and told him I would share with my readers just how surprised I was at the available selection.  I never would have guessed that perhaps now my favorite gun shop is also my local pawn shop.  I encourage you to go to your local shop also and take a look at what they're offering.  Certainly there will be those that don't know their butts from a whole in the ground but there will be those that, like mine, will become your favorite Saturday afternoon hangout.
