I ran into a young woman on the train recently. We discussed her upbringing in Fairbanks, Alaska.
She said that as a young girl her dad let her go out and play around town or in the woods anywhere she wanted, under one condition. THAT SHE CARRY HER .45.
She always thought the gun was heavy, but if that’s what it took to go play, she did it.
;-)
P.S. - She was well trained and knew how to use it.
Maybe we should all move to Alaska and declare our own country.............sort of kidding.
