Rantings Diversified

A bunch of folks think it’s silly or just even downright weird.
I don’t
Ok, so I know it’s a hillbilly, redneck, hick kinda’ thing but fuck those assholes in Yew Nork, Lost Angeles and Chic-ago!!
If I want to keep loaded guns in my house I shall do as I damn well please.
There are no rugrat-lits here and even if there were they would be taught better.
Oh, I know you will say stupid things like, well you know someone could break into your house and blahblahblahblahblahyakyakayakyak…….Shut the fuck up, you dickhead!! You don’t know where they are and come to think of it the theoretical bad guys don’t either. So if and when a theoretical bad guy ever decides to enter my house without permission, at 0230, then he can chase me about the house but…….(and there is always a but) he might find himself in a bit of a pickle when I stop in a particular room and remove either a .45ACP, .45 Colt, .38Special or a 9X18Mak from where it lives and stick it in his face. Of course I want to think I would then slowly say something incredibly scary and suave ala James Bond, Sean Connery style.
Maybe I’d say…..”Now! What was it you came here for again?”.
Aw Man, I get sooooo much jazz in my dreams!!!
Ha!
In reality if someone entered my house at 0230 uninvited, I would be just going to bed and then of course I would have more than enough time to grab my M1911 and the extra mags and walk out into the front room and confront the ne’er-do-well with my trusty piece of steel.
Twice in my life I have had to resort to walking with steel.
The first time, I was walking down 2nd street in the ‘burg. I was heading from downtown to the Mid-town tavern. I had just passed State street and a bunch of guys near North street crossed the street to my side. “FUCK!!!!!!!, this is NOT happening”, I thought to myself. I kept walking. The group of young black guys came up to me and some of them ended up behind me. One of the punks asked if I would loan him 5 dollars. I kept walking and said a resounding, NO. From behind I heard someone say, “Fuck this just take his fucking money!”. At this point they were all behind me. I did a quick threat scan and turned around. I took my right hand and pushed back my jacket and rested it on the Rosewood handle of my .44Spl revolver. About a split second later there was nobody around for a block and a half. These scumbags came out of nowhere and retreated back there merely at the sight of an armed citizen. My revolver never came out of its holster.
Ok, so now yous’ guys’ are all saying, “eek”, or, ”eww”, or something similar. Here is a funny story to chill yins.
I was at a used clothing store owned by a friend of a friend and I was trying on some Israeli army boots. Really cool tan suede 12 inch boots with laces and buckles, big ass honkin’, stompin’ soles and everything. Well I was hunkered down tieing and strapping these uber-cool boots and the little 20-something girl waiting on me said to me. “Uh…excuse me Sir, but your gun just fell on the floor!”. Hahahahaha! I was carrying my Makarov in a, “small of the back” holster and being the big, fat, disgusting fat-body that I am it fell out of it’s holster as I was squatted down there. Needless to say I have never worn a SOTB holster since.
Personally I don’t care what you think of gun ownership. I am very good with one, be it a pistol or rifle.
