I find myself wondering more and more each day why it has taken America so long to discover that a conservative married mother of five is the perfect candidate for our elected leadership.

Well, we know now and it is up to us, those that still love our Nation, the REAL Americans, to get her – and John McCain into office by taking ourselves to the polls in November!

Bull, out! (er… if that’s OK with Sarah, that is…)

Common Sense, R.I.P.

My parents told me about Mr. Common Sense early in my life and told me I would do well to call on him when making decisions. It seems he was always around in my early years, but less and less as time passed by until today when I read his obituary.

Please join me in a moment of silence in remembrance. For Common Sense served us all so well for so many generations.

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was since his birth records were lost long ago in bureaucratic red tape.

He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to ‘come in out of the rain‘, why ‘the early bird gets the worm‘, ‘life isn’t always fair‘, and ‘maybe it was my fault‘.

Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don’t spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin, sun lotion, or a sticky plaster to a student, but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

Common Sense began to lose the will to live as churches became businesses, criminals received better treatment than their victims, and the military became a political pawn.

Common Sense really took a beating when you couldn’t defend yourself from a burglar in your home and the burglar can sue you for assault if you did.

Common Sense finally expired after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.

Common Sense preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion;, his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

Pall bearers included: ‘I Know My Rights‘, ‘Someone Else Is To Blame‘, ‘The Government Owes Me‘ and ‘I Am A Victim‘.

Not many attended the funeral because so few realized he was gone. I you still remember him you may wish to tell someone about his passing. If not, join the majority and do Nothing.

(Thanks, Pop!)
Bull, out.

Thoughts on Concealed Carry

While sitting here working on the layout for a future post on holster makers, such as ‘Simply Rugged‘ from Alaska, I began thinking about the act of ‘packing iron’ itself. Not the all-to-often debated points of why someone carries a concealed weapon, but rather what the effects are on said person’s mind.

Since I’m isn’t a bloody shrink I can’t tell you what other folks may be thinking. However, I’ll gladly tell you what is running through my little grey cells.

The Bull is – most definitely – a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. I’m also very much in love with the rest of that most beloved of documents as well. I do have a pistol permit and I legally carry a handgun pretty much all the time. Here in my Pasture I don’t even notice the mass of the gun anymore. Regardless of how & where I’m carrying it on any given day, (and that depends on how I’m dressed for the weather or my destination). That is in the comfort of my very own home though…

When I step beyond my yard, be it in our car or on foot, I immediately feel the intense pressure of responsibility hit me. The first time I felt that weight I found it rather odd. After a lifetime of carrying weapons of one type or another back and forth to the range, or for days on end during the hunt, you’d think I’d be immune. No! This is different! This isn’t like before where only targets were in danger or where a missed shot at a game animal means nothing more than a missed meal. Carrying a concealed weapon means that I have shouldered the responsibility for something that could mean either Life or Death for myself and/or others. *IF* I should ever be in a situation where this firearm is drawn for use there is a very good chance that someone’s life will be lost – or at least be changed forever. Mine if I failed to see and stop a threat in time, or some other person because they presented a threat to my life or someone else’s. I feel that weight with every step I take in public. While I don’t notice the gun at home, when I’m out it seems that every tiny movement reminds me of the unique, (in today’s “modern” society), and heavy burden of responsibility I have taken on as a pistol permit holder.

There is some good, no, ‘great’ news in this though… The Bull, as a CCW holder, is now counted among the safest and most reliable of America’s firearms owners – already the World’s most responsible firearms owners, (and among the last). Despite the angry rhetoric from the Leftist, America’s legal firearms owners are law-abiding to an extreme, patriotic beyond measure, and exceedingly SAFE and DEPENDABLE. Out of curiosity I spoke with our local constabulary and asked if the issuance of pistol permits had caused and noticeable changes in crime such as robbery and assault locally.
I expected no straight answer, but I got one anyway.

The answer is YES. Crime is lower now that the citizenry is being legally armed against the criminals. Seems that thugs are thinking twice about violent crime when the possibility of getting shot down in the act is far greater. The Bull thinks that is as it should be.

Bull, out.
