In the military, their gun use is under military discipline.

.40 caL,

Well, you beat me by a year. My dad gave me my first at 7 (a J.C. Higgins, single-shot, bolt-action, .22). Many a squirrel and rabbit met it’s end from that little rifle. And, yes, while schools back in the day did used to teach firearms safety courses, my first years, I learned from my dad and my uncles (that’s how I know not to teach family members a difficult subject like firearm safety).

It was also an activity we could share. I remember hunting feral hogs in Tejas with my dad and my uncles when I was 12. Sitting around the campfire, waiting for the hogs to show up, was a true bonding experience. As we’ve discussed, I wouldn’t trust the current schools to teach my kids or grandkids knitting, let alone firearm safety.

(Colion) “A pro-life activist stood outside a Planned Parenthood doing what he does every week — holding a sign, filming, talking. Then a man walked straight up on him…
hands buried in his pockets…
closing distance…
ignoring every warning sign.

The activist backed up. He tried to create space. He didn’t want a fight. But the other guy kept coming.

So he pepper-sprayed him.

And instead of stopping… the man chased him. Tackled him. Fought him.
Fought bystanders trying to pull him off.
Came at him AGAIN.

And that’s when the gunshot happened.

One second it was an argument — the next, it was a life-or-death decision caught on camera.

This is the side of self-defense people never talk about:
the fear, the chaos, the split-second where hesitation gets you hurt.

In this breakdown, I show you exactly what happened outside Planned Parenthood, why the aggressor’s behavior matters, how South Carolina’s Stand-Your-Ground law applies, and why self-defense is ALWAYS messy — before and after the shot.”

Yes it is difficult to keep track of! One must also have patience. For example, now we may be entering an ice age. Additionally, a well developed sense of humor.

There was access to guns in my family, parents, grand parents, aunts, uncles, all had guns. But this was the first one I could call mine. Most of the kids my age in the area had their own .22’s, not just the boys but girls too.

I was raised with guns, my wife was too.

Our family has always been a gun family. Some of my ancestors who fought in the revolutionary war, they used firearms at very early ages too as young as 4-5 years old. It’s been a thing in our family for literally generations to learn about and use firearms starting at early ages. My nephews and neices started at age 4. My wife started at age 4 as did her siblings.

The first gun I ever pulled the trigger on was my dad’s shotgun, I was just barely 4 years old. The watermelon did not survive. My brother and sister also started at age 4.

My mom ran classes teaching women to shoot. It actually saved lives and fought back against and defeated racism and oppression (in the form of the local sheriff). And some of those women later after being trained had to actually defend them selves against a deadly threat that would have killed them had they not been armed and knew how to use it.

Firearms saved my wife and me from certain death.

This would drive the anti-gun people today nuts, right over the edge. They would probably need to be institutionalized in padded rooms.

Trust the science yet chromosomes aren’t real.

Gender is just a social construct yet one can be born in the wrong body.

Subsidizing unaffordable things makes them more affordable.

Increasing everyones pay an arbitrary amount won’t result in kind price increases on goods.

Halting drilling, refining, exploring and transporting oil is not responsible for increasing oil costs.

Inviting tens of millions of randos into the country within the span of a few years does not tax our infrastructure, strain resource availability or contribute to crime.

And on and on and on….

I do however enjoy this tacit admission that stupid children are the lefts greatest voting block. Although weren’t they recently whining that the younger gens have been brainwashed by right wing media and no longer support their brand of destructive globalist clowning?

It can be hard to keep track of their nonsense.
