Since these Rethuglicons have become more and more violent I applied for a conceal weapon permit today. With all the fees, background checks, and Sheriff regulations they are @$170 for five years. Money well spent in these days of Trump.
Actually, it will cost me @$600 when all is said and done. You do what you have to do when this administration is in power.
oh to live in america where one can feel so frightened they feel the need to carry a gun. The option is to live in sunny australia where only cops carry guns and it is safe to walk (most) streets, even at night.
I have fire extinguishers and battery powered smoke detectors in my home. I have home owners, flood and windstorm insurance to cover any potential damage caused by Nature or Man. I have a spare tire and battery pack to jump start my Truck or SUV in case either are needed to get me on the road again. I pay for full insurance on these vehicles against loss, damage or injury. I pay for Health Insurance that has never payed out anywhere near what I have payed in. I don't do any of these things because I am frightened and what I carry isn't about fear, as the saying goes "I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it". I don't do business with any establishment that proudly displays any form of "No Guns Allowed" sign' I fully support their Right to restrict who they allow on their property and choose to go to a competitor for the same service.
Every time I leave home these are the things in my pockets or on my belt. An RFID blocking wallet with between $100 and $300 in folding money, a Debit card, two credit cards and two government issued forms of ID. I have about a dollar in loose change, a small AAA powered flashlight and Keys to my assorted things. I carry a Leatherman Multi-tool, a smartphone and a handgun of at least .38 caliber. If I were to leave one thing home it would be the Cell Phone!
Any day now the gun I bought off the Internet will be in. Contrary to the gun control fanatics claims it is being shipped to the Local Gun Store of my choosing and I will be required to be background checked and fill out the 4473 form.
