determine purpose

one that fits your hand


Almost all civilian use guns are for protection in the no-more-than-10 yard- range ... and the favorite gun of the close quarter assassin is a .22 ...
determine purpose


A canon doesn't fit in a purse or a waist band ... girls and smaller men have smaller hands


think .... ergonomics


Baseball players have their bat .... golfers their clubs ... bowlers their ball ..... and they were all chosen for the ability to be used by the one that fit the tool

But what good does a gun do locked in a safe? Does anyone believe that, if you are being attacked, you will have the time and the discipline to open the safe AND protect?

I realize it is a poem; but gun in a safe is no help.

This article is dumb. As waste of ink.

Gun ownership is a very serious subject ...not something to be taken lightly, as I believe the author, wants to project. It’s not cute. It’s not funny.

Kittens are cute. Dr, Seuss is cute. Guns are serious.

I suggest the author, or her daughter, call 911, when she has a problem.

I can see the point locking a gun in a safe if you have children around, as you hear or read so many times that small children get a hold of their father's loaded gun and accidentally kill their sibling or a friend, or even their parent.

On the other hand why bother having a gun anyway if there are no small children around if you have to keep the gun locked in a safe?

And while you WAIT for a person WITH A GUN to arrive, to "investing your problem", WHO WILL KEEP YOU AND THE ONES YOU LOVE ,,,, ALIVE ?

You and your's are DEAD DUCKS !


“A traitor is everyone who does not agree with me.”
King George III



The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
You can not protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

Click here to read the 12 page pamphlet.


Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember: Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

Daffy, do you really want you and your's undefended, even for a second?

"In the light of a deadly theater shooting in Lafayette, La.", we MUST go to MANDATORY "Concealed/Open Carry".
EVERY LAW ABIDING Citizen of Legal AGE MUST start carrying a firearm.
The ONLY THING that will deter criminals IS MORE ARMED Citizens !

FWIW when the kids were still home I had a “three finger” safe mounted to my bed rail. Three fingers pressed in the right sequence and in less than 10 seconds the Sig, with a round already ‘in the tube’ is in my hand. The tac light is there as well.

Now it’s in the nightstand and the XDS is in the other hidey- hole near the front door.

The 870 is in the rack to the right of the bedroom door.

And there’s the dogs.

And the 911 first responders can arrive with chalk to outline your body.

Since there are no little ones around our house anymore, mine are NEVER in a safe but located where I can reach them quickly should the need arise.

If you really think this sophomoric author really wants to own a gun and train with it, in a way that is necessary. Good luck.
