My wife is mad at me!

It all started at a wedding reception dinner this week. The hostess arranged the seating before dinner. I sat across from my lovely wife, and was seated between two young unmarried gentlemen.  After about five minutes I discovered both of these gentlemen were strong firearms advocates.

Of course there were the occasional bride/groom toasts and some family speeches, and my adoring smiles at the most beautiful woman in the room; my wife. 

Soon my new gun advocate friends and I delved into "gun talk". My .357 carry revolver was locked in the car, so all I had to drink was ginger-ale all evening. We talked about every firearm, ammo, and reloading supplies on the market. 

I was bragging that even my wife carries a snub-nosed five-shot .38 in her purse. I began talking that I was looking for a good .22 magnum for my wife, amid all the glares I was getting from my wife.

On the way home my wife started in; "why do  you tell everyone, especially people you just met that you and I carry a firearm? It's nobody's business that we carry firearms".

Of course I began spouting off why I disagree starting with, "not only do I want everyone to know that I am legally licensed to carry a firearm, I also believe that there should be a lanyard around the neck of legal licensed gun carriers, so everyone would know 'that person you may think of assaulting is legally carrying a firearm'. Sure might stop a lot of crime".

For example, the number one city in gun crime is Chicago, which happens to be in a state where it is illegal to carry a firearm. Does anyone really believe that the thug criminals that use guns for their crimes care about some law? 

Oh, I was on a roll now. I continued, shouting back at my wife, knowing I was sleeping on the couch that night, "so a couple of hoodlums want to rob a 7-11 in Chicago, but before they go into the store they see a sign that says, 'STORE OWNER LICENSED TO CARRY A FIREARM FOR PROTECTION OF HIS PROPERTY'...do ya think they might consider not trying to rob the 7-11"?

Even with that unspoken look of hers that silently said, "you wanna try for two nights on the couch", I continued, "how come all of the people that want to take away firearms from us law abiding citizens refuse to relinquish the firearms of the body guards that protect them"?

King Hitler Jr., Oprah, Rosie O'Donnell, and many other liberal progressives that are in favor of gun control, and want to take away our Second Amendment rights are the same people that have numerous armed body guards surrounding them and their families. Are the president's family more precious than my own family? Not to me.

King Hitler Jr. has been named firearm and ammunition salesman of the year. In fact, the NRA want to make him an honorary member. Did he really think he could take on the NRA or the Second Amendment loving citizens of this great country? I don't think so!

Since this radical Islamic Muslim Brotherhood member tried to take away our Second Amendment rights actual sales of firearms and ammunition has skyrocketed to a record breaking pace, and it is still rising.

The largest and greatest military force this country has ever known are its Second Amendment law abiding citizens. I pray that all I ever point at and shoot is a target, but my founding fathers have promised me "the right to bear arms".

By the way, this is my last night on the couch. You think I'd learn.

And that's Politics with Pete for today....God bless our country...and our troops.
