Lost my grandmother this week.
« on: April 29, 2010, 04:11:16 PM »
She was by far the toughest women I've ever met.

born in 1917, came to CA with a 1 year old and her husband from kansas on a harely with a side car. Opened a burger stand, which is still open and on its 4th or 5th owner.  in 2006 some yotes got took her dog, she chased them down with a broom and got him back.  Last year she broke her hip, had a replacment and was up and walking around a gun show with us a month latter.  That was the last time I spoke with her =(  This year would have been thier 75th wedding anniversary.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Sounds like she provided you with a proud, independent heritage.  Honor her memory and live to her standards is the best way I know to keep her 'alive'.

My condolences for you loss TAB.

Very sorry for the loss of your Grandmother TAB.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Take care, TAB.

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Condolences TAB, she was from the Greatest Generation, and sounds like she deserved her part in it.
