As you can see by the number of my posts I don't say much. More of a listen and watch kind of guy. So I have been watching some of you posts and find some of them quite amusing.You seem to be someone who will shake the table and see what happens kind of person I could be wrong. And while I will not become part of the crowd that kicks someone for there opinion I will share with you what just happened to me last week here at work. As everyone here at my job who passes my work bench knows I'm a NRA member and proud of it. Anyone who passes my bench is invited to take any of my firearm publications with them to read at any time no questions asked. This year has been quite hard on us with layoffs. And thing aren't getting any brighter. Now layoffs are coming to my department and I am the lowest guy on the seniority pole. I was asked last week if I wouldn't mind coming to our department that deals with unwanted behavior. I truly thought this was it I'm going to be laid off. Nope. I was asked how things were going? I responded fine. They showed me one of my NRA mags and asked what I though about the chance of me being layed off. Now it dawns on me whats going on. I told them I would have the same feelings as everyone else and why do you ask. They said no really reason. I asked if they enjoyed the magazine and told them that the NRA has a open enrollment policy and I'd be happy to sponsor them If they wanted to join. I got a blank stare. I went on to tell them that I was raised in a law enforcement family/spent 11 yrs working for the police department in a civilian capacity/ I have been physically robbed twice in my life. And a third time at a gas station I worked at in OK.I was lucky enough to have escaped being robbed and shot only because another guy was working with me that night. I told them they had nothing to fear from me. That I was the guy who would responed to there childrens/ wife call for help in the night. I would be the guy who would stop on the freeway at night and help there mother change her tire so she could get home safe that night. I would do all this and more without being asked. Only because it is the right thing to do. And I am a member of the NRA. And to really answer your question about what I would do if i got layed off. File for unemployment what else. Point of this story. Simple. I expect that kind of thought process from sheep but not from us here. Peeing in our cheerios and telling someone to lighten the hell up. Well lets just say you should listen to some of you own advice ( Removing a post about a sawed off shotgun) in other words don't post those thought here and then tell everyone to lighten the hell up. Just my .02

Good post from someone that doesn't post often.

Good post from someone that doesn't post often.

Only when he has something worth saying.

Only when he has something worth saying.

Sounds like a way of living that someone like Ben Franklin would advocate, but not normally as fun.

I love this statistic, since 1987 there has been 1.7million CWP issued to FL citizens. About 3.5% of the population via the 2006 census. Of these legally licensed people, only 167 have committed a crime using a hand gun.

And my dipshat of a HR director says the '08 FL law allowing CWP holders to keep a firearm in there car is a precursor to violence.

A bit more long winded than mine but it is what some people need.   Thanks for the support, Wisconsin.
