In History…are Memories..
Sigh… I well remember going to Woolworth’s as a young lad with my Grandmother way back when in Wadena, Mn. having a burger at the counter and she buying me a book or two, especially Edgar Rice Burroughs "Tarzan" books, still have them books I do.
1879 – In Utica, New York, Frank Woolworth opens the first of many of 5 and 10-cent Woolworth stores. Oh, to be a little boy with a whole dollar on the Woolworth’s toy aisle…
Between that and going to the feed mill with Grandpa, going fishing and of course shooting a bit of this and that(my first BB gun from Grandpa at age 8 or so, with one rule to never ever point it at anything I was not going to shoot!!) and staying on the farm with them during the summer…such good times they were..
Sitting with Grandpa on the ridge overlooking the creek bottoms watching for "coyotes" listening to the Twins play on Sunday afternoons
Books(Grandpa disproved it seemed, but Grandma would not let him say much), fishing, and running about woods stream, pastures etc. with farm dog Shep(his dogs were always "Shep") and my BB gun, He also taught me how to trap gophers and gave me a quarter per rodent!!
I MADE TWO DOLLARS ONE WEEK!!
Rocks, lots of rocks, they grew best, cows, dairy is what they raised and chickens, bringing the cows in with "Shep" at milking time, tossing a coffee can of grain in their feeders for them and I became an expert at catching chickens during butchering time.
Sigh what my boyz have missed makes me sad..Citified in spite of our many hunting and fishing trips, frequent range trips, not enough of any…And no Woolworth’s for them…

Not ask. Tell.
Remind them whom they work for.
Now rumors are that certain law enforcement groups are against (cough:MPLS/St.Paul:cough) this, in fact some are worried they may have to actually have a real warrant before they bust in and shoot your dog or worse on some trumped up assumption that they think doing so is because, they be the cops.
As one whom works with and trains LEOs in 1st Aid, 1st Responder, EMT etc I have spoken with more then one and they seem to NOT have the problem those mentioned in above statement have with folks being prepared and ready.
Of course our local anti freedom/guns groups are screaming blood in the street, felons will be shooting everyone…rant, rant..which they did when concealed carry shall issue was passed and the streets did not run red with blood as was their wish.
They do not want you to be able to protect you, yours or your property…because doing so creates dead bad guys and it is hard to justify screaming “poor victims and lighting candles” over those intent on harming and maiming the innocent. Not that these groups are above that.
They want you to let the bad guys take and do what they want, while you think of sunny beaches or England or some damn thing.
They feel you should call 911 and wait for help….Whilst you scream, are raped, tortured, mutilated and die during the 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes it takes for help to arrive..
If you are not capable or allowed to protect yourself, what are you besides a victim, serf, subject?
Is what the left seems to want.
Is it what you want?
Not me.
Call/email your elected Senator.
Remind him to do what is right and quit promoting government interference and negligence in our lives. Becasue it is negligent to not allow a person to protect themselves and family from any and all danger…Because you know the State fails at that!!
Sorry Is What I Think……
Good for YOU, Rick Santorum! Marriage is Between One Man and One Woman!
If this upsets you, to bad I say.
Is a person’s RIGHT have his own opinions and to STATE those opinions..
Is called, free will, freedom of speech etc..
Now that being said, this is not nor should be a political issue, nor should the government be involved…
Every person has he right to live as they want…as long as they do not cause another any sort of “mischief”.
Truth in Facts and Data…
So much so even a anti gun caveman can understand…
Go read and learn…Although we all know how realism and actual truth hurts their cause and they will lie as much as they can to dispute real truth..
What The Brady Bunch Wants
Gun owners, jailed and left penniless and homeless after they are ACQUITTED by a jury..
After being arrested and jailed…
One couldn’t blame him. Lewis had just finished 112 days in jail because he didn’t have the cash to make bail. When jurors finally freed him on Feb. 9, Lewis walked out homeless, unemployed and minus most of his possessions.
Now he is left with what?
All he has left is his car, everything else is gone, taken from the curb by scavengers and the trash people. The jury only took a few minutes to reach a decision. A decision that should never have been necessary.
This is justice?
No this is what the Brady Bunch, the Anti Freedom anti gun crowd and Joan Peterson want and you can bet they are probably celebrating and dancing over this..
This is what happens in a so called free nation?
This is so much fail and so much more reason for real change that actually works..
Molon Labe..
Sick and Horrifying..
Horrible that anyone could beat his own family.
His daughters..
His wife..
And kill another person..
Beat his daughters so badly they were airlifted as was his wife.
Horrifying…
Carry a gun…
It is our right our duty to..
Be ready…
It is your only protection from such evil, such monsters that walk the earth..
Guns, Bitches, Rights and The Nuge…
Government fail in NYC..Your civil rights!?? Not important and neither is your right to protect yourself..
Bitch Napolitano gets grilled by Minnesota’s own Chip Craavak. Go watch her stumble and bumble around when trying to NOT answer the questions asked her!! More here about Obama and his ideas!!
Obama and Holder and their continured attacks on our rights and our freedoms. Does it not scare the crap out of people knowing these two thugs, one elected and one appointed appear to be waging all out war on our Freedoms?
Gun Review!! Thats my Kahr!! Well not mine, but I do have one and it is my EDC weapon…
The Nuge..Spanking MSNBC…but that is kind of like teasing the handicapped, mentally handicapped..

HF1467/SF1357 Summary
HF1467/SF1357, the Defense of Dwelling and Person Act of 2011, brings “Stand Your Ground” protections to Minnesota, restores the presumption that a person using self defense is innocent until proven guilty, enhances Castle Doctrine, prevents the state from seizing guns during an emergency (remember Hurricane Katrina?), improves carry reciprocity with other states and requires the government to do its job to serve law-abiding citizens.
The full text of the bill can be found here: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/bin/bldbill.php?bill=H1467.2.html&session=ls87
Here’s some more detail about the bill:
Adds Stand Your Ground
HF1467 brings "Stand Your Ground" protections to Minnesota, removing the requirement that an intended victim of violent crime must retreat from a place where he has a right to be before using deadly force in self defense.
Enhances Castle Doctrine
The bill also strengthens Minnesota’s "Castle Doctrine," clarifying when and under what circumstances individuals can legally use deadly force to protect themselves in their homes and vehicles. In addition, it creates a presumption that, when faced with an apparent home invasion, carjacking or kidnapping attempt, a person may use deadly force in self defense.
Adds Universal Carry Permit Acceptance
Of particular interest to carry permit holders, the final article of the bill updates our carry permit reciprocity standards, allowing people holding carry permits from any other state to carry in Minnesota (under Minnesota law, of course). This should result in a large increase in the number of states where Minnesota permit holders can carry, since many states allow other states’ permit holders to carry on a reciprocal basis.
Prevents Gun Seizures During a State of Emergency
Taking a lesson from the problems in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, the bill also bans government agencies from seizing guns or ammo, revoking permits to purchase or carry, closing gun shops, or otherwise suspending our constitutional rights during a civil emergency — or at any other time. It also prohibits law enforcement officers from seizing a person’s gun, unless the person is arrested, or the gun is evidence of a crime.
Enhances Purchase Permit Rights
The bill also borrows a page from the Permit to Carry law, providing a more robust appeal process for denied purchase permits, and requiring that police chiefs and sheriffs whose purchase permit denials are overturned must pay the applicants’ legal costs.
