...beyond pistol-packing mamas.

We're running low on ammunition in America. Just ask the gun dealers. People are buying guns and ammunition, they say, because of fears that Barack Obama will push for severe regulations on firearms and ammo. One dealer told of a 69-year-old grandma who bought a lifetime supply of ammo for her AK-47. Essentially, a machine gun. Just in case there's trouble in her neighborhood, she wants to be able to mow 'em down. Maybe it's time to change America's national anthem to 'Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.' Now there's a song that sends chills up and down my spine. We all could take off our hats and pull out our concealed weapons and fire 'em into the sky at ball games. I've been hearing some conservative commentators urging folks to become armed just in case America becomes a socialist country. That we'll need an armed revolution to take back our government. Imagine that. The armed loonies taking to the streets. And we thought the early days of our Wild West were a bit wild and wooly. That was pretty tame stuff. Wait till the grandmas with AK-47s come out shooting. My gawd. We've even gone beyond mere pistol-packing mamas. --Jim Broede

I carry a glock...in my purse..and know how to use it..

I have a license to carry a weapon..

they do an FBI backround check before they issue a License..

and you must take a class..and a written exam..and also a test with your weapon..

I feel I do not ever.. want to be a victim..is why I do it..

as you know I have retired..but til I did ..I worked the night shift and drove 30 miles one way to work..on the highway..late at night..

its about choice..and yes I choose to be a pistol packin Mama

Love Rosie

At least you don't tote an AK-47, Rosie. Anyway, I trust you. If I ever need a body guard, you'll be the first I come to. Hope you don't ever have to use your glock for real. --Jim
