    Jebb is the most popular Gov this state has had...I would vote for him in a second unless a better Conservative that stood a chance comes a long...

    I will never vote for this man as our next Senator....I am trying to get over rotor cuff surgery and multiple health issues right now and it is not easy to type but we need an alternative....I know some here do not like Jeb but I would vote for him in a second over Crist.....We just sent a liberal to the Senate with our last pick.....Not a gain...If they are not conservative I take a hike.....

    I cannot believe some of the post here.....Less you have walked in her shoes do not be a judge....She would not let him take the Baby to his parents home because of the druggie mother....I would say she was doing the right thing...If he left her for that reason he is not much of a man....She is being a caring and good mother looking out for her baby.....She will find some one who will be apart of her life and the baby’s life when it is time....She has a wonderful family and all the help she needs...I would vote for Sarah Palin tomorrow if I could...I am sick and tired of individuals that want to accept RINO&s and not stick with conservatives like Sarah....If it had not been for her McCain would not have gotten near the votes he did...She has a wonderful family and extended family...Many could be so lucky..

    I just do not care for light weight guns.....My first gun that I bought my wife was a light weight S&W...One time at the range and we sold it....She now carries a heavier weight S&W....I carry a full size 1911 Springfield and I live in Florida....Some people like them but to me there is to much muzzle flip and felt recoil...You do not get that with a heavier gun....My wife carries her gun in a handbag especially made to carry a handgun....She does not even have to take the gun out to shoot.....I carry with a high ride holster and wearing the right clothes it conceals easy.....I have been carrying so long it does not even bother me if it is all day carry....It is just like putting my billfold in my pocket...I know that many firsts time owners feel the light weights seem the way to go...I would go to a range that you can rent both and try them out...and see which one works the best...It is just my opinion and there is allot of other good opinions here....

    I called his office this morning and explained to the guy that who answered that I was a Viet Nam Vet also....I told him how upset I was at his support of Eric Holder...He said he would pass it on...and started to hang up...I said wait a minute I have a few other comments....He said I had 15 seconds...I cannot repeat what I said but I am sick and tired of John McCain and he can retire and maybe let a Republican who is a conservative take over his spot...I am sorry I ever voted for him but in reality it was for Sarah....Eric Holder is as anti gun as they come and a terrorist best friend......

    I am concerned about my wife having to travel to and from work....We have a locked safe to put her gun in at a public parking area at her work....I am all in favor of the law that permits individuals to have a gun in their cars...If they have an employee they have to fire and they think he may be a problem then call the police if they fire them to escort them off the premise....or if other employees are armed if might just save lives....Look at all the work place violence that might not happen if others had the chance to defend them selves....

    Welcome back and enjoy...I cannot ever think of being without my guns...I have a big hunt in Texas that I put together...There is twenty of us going including some wounded warriors from San Antonio with one individual with the Wounded Warrior Project....We are hunting hogs on one of Ted Nugents ranches....Plus varmints...We also get to hunt at nights...There is 5 coming from Cannon AFB and 6 from Ohio....Me from Florida and 2 from Okla and one from Texas.....I am really looking forward to seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones....
    We plan on doing this each year...The hunt cost one dollar and two twenty five for the lodging and meals...plus a tip of a hundred and thirty five dollars for cleaning the hogs. We have to pick up a five day hunting lic for forty five dollars....They do this hunt each and every year...We get to hunt Mtn lions, Bobcats, Hogs, coyotes and other varmints......

    I have a Krebs AK 47 in .223 and a Bushmaster M4 in .223...and have been purchasing ammo every payday...I plan on buying Hornaby reloading kit in case they put a tax on ammo....If your new to guns it is a good idea to take a class from a professional or someone who you know that is experienced...It is well worth it....The USAF gave me allot of training but I have been using rifles since I was very young thanks to my Grandmother who grew up in Okla when the mode of transportation was horse back or wagons....

    I went to a gun show in Bradenton Fla and there was a line wrapped around the bldg for five hours...It took my wife and I an hour to get in....I bought a new 1911 Springfield...and some ammo...Plus a new purse that has a concealed pocket for my wife...She has a CCW. A new holster for me and looked at a night vision for a rifle I am getting ready to buy.....for a night time hunting trip in Texas...I have never seen at this show the number of guns and ammo and other items sold as at this show....They have concealed weapons classes.....They were told the wait time would be around four months and it is usually three....The ammo dealers were selling out and had to go pick up more for Sunday....It was an amazing show.....I had a couple more items that I kick myself for not picking up because of the price....Semi Auto Military style weapons prices were sky high....Fortunately our local dealers are not gouging like at the gun shows....But other guns had some great prices on them.....I am going to go to the Tamapa show to pick up some things I did not get at ours.....It was not only men buying but lots of women were purchasing guns and ammo....

    First of all if you read my first post all I said was that I was a member of of both....In that post I never ever said one bad word about the NRA or the GOA...I will tell you that the GOA sends me lots of letters to forward on to my reps and I do it..I think they both play a role so be it a different one but both are important....It sounds like a game of marbles if you don't like mine then take yours home and it is all silly...We have enough to fight about to preserve our rights and to fight over which organization is better than the other.....Right now I am spending my money on ammo and more guns.....and lots more mags....I have also belong to some other state organizations that fight for our gun rights.....I think everyone would be better served fighting the real enemy

    You seem to have a tendency to attack folks simply because they make a point...Are you a member of the GOA...I am a member of both and they both have their own way of doing things...I saw where you attacked one individual and I bet I am a little older than you and done more to serve this Country and know a little more about both organizations than you will ever have a clue....I do not have to prove anything to you....It is a little hard to prove something to some one who does not have the ability to comprehend..I have had my issues with the NRA at times but believe that we need all the organizations we can get and not attack others simply because you think you have all the knowledge...I have also probably put more money in the fight to keep our arms than you will ever make.....

    When you view all the proposals on the Gov site all I see is a big give away to those who chose not to want to work and simply let the government take care of them....We are in for along four years and with money from the trillion dollars also going to the group Acorn, ACLU and some others we are in for a fight to get any one elected in any state because corruption at the polls is going to be an ongoing thing....Out of My Cold dead hands will I give up what I have...Nor will I put any thing on it to prevent me from protecting my family due to a serious gang and crime problem here in Bradenton and Sarasota that we use to not have.....I am also going to purchase a reloading set up just in case ammo is on the hit list....
