Me too.  I like to know what is going on so I always watch the local news in the morning why I am getting ready for work.  You are right about the media not reporting on lots of things too.  I think they pretty much report only issues that further the stations agenda.  Kind of like CNN favors the Clintons and FOX favors Trump.  I have to laugh sometimes when they have an opposing view representative on there and they end up talking over each other.

I don't think we need more gun control laws though.  I do think we need to put some teeth in the ones we have.  How could a person that was on the FBI watch list twice, still get a concealed weapons permit or firearms license in the state of Florida?  Sounds like one government agency not talking to another to me!

State of Florida's government is all screwed up.

I think all the state governments have their issues but some are definitely worse than others. 

In this case though I think the FBI is the one that dropped the ball.  There was even a report that a gun shop filed saying that this person was trying to buy ammo in large bulk quantities.  They didn't sell to him but what happened to the report?  It probably sat on someone's desk and then conveniently got burried when it came out that a report had been made.  This kind of stuff isn't dug into especially by the media that favors more gun control and outlawing the most popular semi-auto rifle in the word.

I imagine most of you saw this on Facebook but if you didn't it's worth seeing the entire thing.  This guy is right!  He is addressing the Greensboro, NC city council which was considering cancelling a gun show due to the Parkland Florida shooting.

Scott got a new gun this week.  He got an M & P shield 45.  He had an M & P Shield 40, but wanted to standardize all our guns.  he already had 2 45s one of which I'd been asking him to give me.  So now I have my 45 and he has 2.  he was able to trade the 40 for the 45. even swap.

Outstanding!  Smith & Wesson makes a very popular handgun.  You can get the shield in a number of calibers and it is small enough that it is easily concealed when carrying. 

Standardization is a plus when buying ammo.  I tried to get Dianna to go with a 9mm when she got her last pistol but she really likes the .380.  So right now I have 2 - 9mm and Dianna has a .380 and a .32.

Yes, we have 2 - Ruger Mark III pistols that are great for plinking.  Mine is the standard with the 5" bull barrel and Dianna's is the 22/45 model that is on a polymer frame so it's about 14 ounces lighter.  I just read the other day that Ruger has discontinued the Mark III now that the Mark IV is out.  The Mark III is really hard to clean because of the take-down process.  The Mark IV is much simplified.  These are great guns for learning to shoot and for teaching others about gun safety.  Because they are .22 LR, they are much less expensive than the other calibers.

Sounds like you and Scott need to come up for a day on the range.  I've got plenty of targets.  Just bring your ammo and weapons!

  i'm thinking that we might while he is off work. i'd like him to have a chance to see how he shoots now.

and i want a 22 for plinking.  i just don't have it yet.  the 45 was an unexpected thing.  the 22 was the next gun on the buy list.  but we had the 40, and getting an even trade for the 45 was just too good to pass up.

Another great speech.  This one by a Representative from Virginia.  Makes a lot of sense.

I subscribed to Colion's YouTube channel.  He has some very informative videos and responds to lots of the comments made by the "gun ban" groups.  I'm sure he is on FaceBook too but I don't do that.

I'm not opposed to the asking folks to not open carry because I wouldn't do that even if we could in South Carolina.  I prefer the concealed carry because of the slight edge I would have because someone meaning to do harm wouldn't know if I was going to shoot back or not.

Not selling ammo is just plain stupid.

Reasons Why I Carry a Gun
I don’t carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don’t carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry.
I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection is an oxymoron.
Free citizens must protect themselves.
Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take a butt whoopin’.
