Draw your weapons. That's what Sheriff Joe Arpaio is urging nearly a quarter-million Arizona gun owners to do to fight terrorism and mass shooters. On Tuesday, the so-called "Toughest Sheriff in America" said he cannot guarantee the public's safety and called on them to take matters into their own hands if necessary.

Makes sense to me.

And I was going to skip this weekend’s gun show in Phoenix... Oh well, looks like my nephew gets a new brick of .22 made in Minnesota instead of a Star Wars doll made in China.

Crossroads is going to be a madhouse this weekend. Unfortunately, the price of everything there just went through the roof (it was already inflated to begin with).

...thank dems for creating death galleries.

That's an apt image. Reminds me of when I was a kid and you could still shoot 22s in shooting galleries.

The only thing that will stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

It’s just a choice between drawing your own weapon and fighting back in seconds or waiting to be shot until a police officer shows up with a weapon several minutes later.

Which is why I have a CCW and am trained how to use my sidearm.

When I joined the Army I swore to protect my country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I may be out of the Army but I believe when I took that oath it was a lifetime commitment.

“We are all combatants now.”

Yup, for sure.

Texas ha over 500,00 CHL holders or almost 10% of the eligible population. Arizona has 250,000 per the article. As a percentage of eligible population I’m sure it’s higher than Texas. I think the problem is that many, perhaps most, rarely pack on their body. Most just keep a gun in their car which is what I normally do. But, I’m going to start packing all the time just like carrying my billfold - everywhere.

YOU are responsible for your own safety.

Owning is not enough.
Carrying is not enough.

You must train, and more is never “enough”.

Black Friday was a banner day for Gun Sales in America according to the ATF. Record setting background checks for firearms. Keep talking Bambi, the firearm manufacturers love ya!

I know, it’s going to be a zoo. Thing is, I no longer bother to send letters or e-mails to 0 and company. I just display my contempt by adding a low end AR lower to my collection and submitting another 4473.

This was a supposed gun free zone....muslims know where to strike.....thank dems for creating death galleries.

And the guy worked there - he had inside knowledge of the availability of soft targets and knew his way around the place...that's why it took several hours and "a telephone tip" for "authorities" to get on the trail of them.

I would wager that at least one was on a watch list and it was just too un-PC to do anything about it - seems to be the latest rage for "Homeland Security" to know beforehand and then be caught flat-footed. They might as well be called "Homeland Post-Attack Mop-Up and Obfuscation"

They remind me of an old Cheech and Chong joke (I actually had them come to a place I worked and they attended one of our after hours parties - Cheech had his head on straight and Chong was as advertised):

They were doing a hemorrhoid commercial skit and Chong comes out and squirms a bit then says, "Yeah, I got piles. You'd have piles too if you spent as much time as I do on a tractor. I tried these hemorrhoid suppositories and for all the good they did I could have shoved them up my ass".

Seems to fit "Homeland Security to a T.

“But, I’m going to start packing all the time just like carrying my billfold - everywhere.”

I’m pretty sure the majority of times one needs his weapon is not when he’s in his car. I carry everywhere. Restaurants, Sears, the mall, the hospital...all places with victim disarmament signs. I won’t oblige the ignorant. I leave my weapon in the vehicle when I go into the courthouse as the only exception I can think of. There you walk through a metal detector.
