One of the first things I learned at my sainted mother's knee was OPSEC.
Don't tell anyone anything they don't need to know, especially about the stuff you may have (or anyone else in the family), especially arms and other things of value. You never know who might be listening in, and even worse who'll go flapping their lips all over town or worse (social media).
I taught my kids and grandkids exactly how many people it takes to keep a secret: "One. Any more, and it isn't secret any more."
If it happens within these walls, it stays here. It ain't nobody's business but our own. We'll solve our problems with as little outside "help" as possible.
Beware of school assignments which want a floor plan, want to know what you own, ask about guns, or income level, or valuables, or how many TVs you have. That ploy goes back to the '60s. I drew up a fine floor plan. I don't know if anyone ever built a house like that, but I never lived in it.
Encourage your kids to do the same, teach them to resist peer pressure. Teach them right and wrong, and 'mom's simple rule': "When you doubt something is a good idea, don't do it."
'Guilting' is only a cheap PSYOP to deprive you of something you need not feel guilty about in the first place--know it for what it is. Learn to resist other people taking you on a guilt trip--especially when it is fueled by their fear or envy.
It doesn't bother me to go against the flow. I have been right before, when all around me doubted that.
Besides, if the current fad is to disarm, I think you'll find the normal rebelliousness of kids will make them want to do just the opposite.
As for us older buzzards, I worked for it, I bought it, and as far as I am concerned, it's grandfathered in. I'm not giving anything up that was legal when I got it without a fight.
The only “commitment” Obama has is to his own, personal opinions.
And they’re all horse sh*t.
End of story.
“So you’re saying he has done some economic good? :-) /s”
Absolutely. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/firearms-industry-still-growing-182937447.html;_ylt=AwrSyCXF_gFVRj4AZQmTmYlQ
He is also causing Americans to think about the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights.
1. Confiscation of “assault weapons”
2. Confiscation o ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder’s information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as “assault weapons”
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons”]]
“Until you either get pulled over or contacted by the state who might have a record of your gun”
Still no problem, since over half of the above ‘laws’ have been ‘tabled’ and are not being enforced or have been pulled. We’re working on getting the entire SAFE ACT repealed.
The State pulled the 5 round limit almost immediately. You can carry 10 rounds in your magazine.
The State already has a record of CCW owners & pistols registered to them.
There is no limit on how many mags you can own, no “one gun per month” purchase restriction, no confiscation of 10 round mags, no micro-stamping, no mandatory locking of guns at home, etc, etc, etc.
