I agree. I guess I'm still a "flatlander" living in FL. Although I was born in Philly and eventually did graduate work at Penn, I was raised in nearby Collingswood, NJ.
I know well the towns you referred to. Now that I'm a true conservative southerner I refer to all outside "invaders" as carpet baggers. We have one such here in Palm Beach County as our congressman.
He's Bob Wexler who's from NYC and one the WORST of the Democrats. And that takes some effort! Perhaps he thinks I'm a carpet bagger too but from the wrong side! Oh well...
I can always move a couple miles and be out of the 19th CD and be in the 16th where Mark Foley is a great congressman and an ardent defender of the Second Amendment.
you can go to packing.org to see what states are shall issue states. I also go to keepandbeararms.com everyday to read the latest gun rights news.
That Tracker guy , Tom Brown has a school in NJ and has designed a pretty wild survial knife. There was a movie out not too long ago based on some of his exploits . I can't remember the name of the movie right now but it had Tommy Lee Jones in it.
The way i decide who to vote for above all else is what the candidiate's position on the 2nd ammendment is. If they are the type who is anti-gun in the least I do not vote for them.period. It is my first criteria for deciding who to vote for. It is funny in this election that the democrats still have not gotten the message that being anti-2nd loses elections for them . They will just not face the fact that they cannot ignore the US Constitution and blatantly ignore and negate people's civli rights and get elected. What kind of politician in these times of crime, terrorism and invasion from Mexico can reasonably think that disarming the American populace is a winning strategy?
