The NRA website. Defending your second ammendment rights. You know being up here in the north I hear alot about Southerners all owning guns. Like thats a bad thing. I have a pretty good collection of guns at home. I use them for hunting. Yep thats right I'm a hunter. I shoot animals. But I eat what I kill. The deer that I shoot have a much better chance than the cows that provide the steak and hamburger that you buy at the local grocery. At least my kills are better for me than the steroid, antibiotic filled, and slaughtered meat that is in the cooler at Piggly Wiggly. And yeah I do offer up a prayer to God for the kill that I have made. Not for the kill itself but for the opportunity to live in a country that allows you to own guns and hunt. For the food that is being provided for my family. Hopefully I'll be able to post a few pics here this year of deer. Gonna take the digital camera to the stand with me. Who knows might get lucky.
While we are talking guns, I'm thinking about getting into bench rest shooting. What is that you may ask. Well it is the ultimate in marksmanship. It is precision shooting. Some of the best shooters in the country can put five shots in a target that can be covered by quarter. Well great you may say. But let me throw this at you.....The target is four hundred yards or more away. Think about it. Stand at end of a football field and look at the other end. Pretty far huh. Now multiply that by four. There are major competitions around the country. Lots of times it may have folks from the military or police forces or government agencies there to compete. And even some regular Joes.
But back to the Southern gun thing....You look back through history and in most of the major wars that have been fought by the US the military is made up of Southern boys. Why is that? Well heck, it's cause we can SHOOT. We grew up with guns. And of course the fact that poverty is high in the South might have something to do with it. The military is a way out.
Ok, I'm off the soapbox now. Ya'll have a good day. Drop me a line. Say HI. Or try to prove me wrong. I am open to any and all comments.
