Welcome to the club fellow sheepdog.
Thanks, FRiend.
I read that website, and agree completely. I wonder though, if sheepdogs are born, or are they made by training and environment. Or both. I am not sure.
I, like the cop that carries in Church, know the Universal Rule of sheepdogs everywhere: You don't need a gun at all until you really need one badly.
I decided in my early youth that I was NOT going to be taken advantage of by anyone; especially not by some snot-nosed punk selling drugs and doing drive-by shootings.
The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, "Baa."
Not entirely true, as some sheep are active in pulling the sheepdog's teeth on his behalf. An attempt at forcing their own denial onto the sheepdog.
If you are warrior who is legally authorized to carry a weapon and you step outside without that weapon, then you become a sheep, pretending that the bad man will not come today. No one can be "on" 24/7, for a lifetime. Everyone needs down time. But if you are authorized to carry a weapon, and you walk outside without it, just take a deep breath, and say this to yourself... "Baa."
Doesn't necessarily hold true; the tool doesn't define the sheepdog nor the warrior. Grossman admitted that (some of) those on Flight 93 had made the change from "baa" to "woof".
I'm not a warrior. Neither am I a sheepdog. It may sound like "baa", when I talk to anti-rights liberulz and sheep; it's spelled "BAH!".
Just read it.. That was great, we all have a choice of what to be.....
