Open yours ears in public it is getting loud

Maybe some of those companies who were at SHOT will consider the atmosphere of the public before they tender

their offer to sell those select fire Personal Defense Weapons to Big Sis. There is a point to be made there.

 

Sometimes, I really think things should get just a little bit out of hand, just to show these people in government who

actually is the boss. They have been usurping for far too long. Not saying violence, but veiled threats, just the same.

It makes me feel good too when I hear strangers talking about everything that is going on. A guy that I've known for 15 years moved here from New York before I met him and for the past few years I've noticed him posting things like "I can believe all these people down here think Obama wants their guns!" And of course his New York FB friends share the same view according to their responses. My words have not changed his views no matter how much I try to inform him. But......since the word got out about NY's New laws......crickets! Imagine that, someone may actually not want us to be armed, if he asks, I will say "I told you so"

 

My opinion of New York could change. I know a lot of folks from that state, and several that live in NYC now. I've always viewed it as a commie state thru and thru. Lately, I've been running these folks through my mind. Most New Yorkers I know are hard to push around. If they stand their ground with the new infringements on their rights, I'm gonna be one of their biggest chearleaders.

I have had the good fortune to be asked to speak at several Tea Party events over the last few weeks regarding the Tennessee Constitution and Union 2nd Amendment issues, specifically Henry County last week, Carroll County last night.

Having been doing this for a couple of years now, I am seeing a definite change in the wind.  Last year the average age of attendees was probably 65, (counting a few 6 month olds in the room in the average) and maybe 15-20 people in total. 

 

In Paris last Thursday evening, there were over 50 in the room, and far more young people than I am used to seeing. 

 

Last night in Huntingdon, there were over 35 people and a few young folks there as well.

 

One of the issues I regularly hear is the desire on the part of some to NOT perfect their permits for carry as they do not want to get on a "list".  I had a gentleman articulate that premise last evening, and I thought the Baptist Preacher in attendance and a former Marine were going to flog him.  They both suggested that he get in the fight, and stand as one of the "Counted".

 

I concur that the mood is changing.
