“I was never a big fan of weapons, until I got married and moved South. Thank God I escaped Leftist Stockholm Syndrome.
My family was never big into weapons, even though we grew up on the farm. Tragically, I think much of it stemmed from a close relative who died in a hunting accident. Also, several favorite political figures of my family were cut down by assassin’s bullets in the 1960’s. With a background like that, who would want weapons?
However, the military gave me a healthy exposure to weapons, along with being stationed in the Great State of Texas. A few years later, I moved to another Virginia and got married.
In the South I saw a whole different way of looking at weapons. While in New York, there were people who had weapons, the South showed me, for the first time, women who carried weapons on their person. It was intriguing. I also thought it would look mighty good on my wife.
Also very important to me was noticing the crime rate in these new areas I lived in. While there was crime in the South, and my liberal buddies would likely point to isolated cases while missing a larger picture, the crime rate overall was lower. It was easy to see why the crime rate was so low; seemingly half the population was carrying a pistol and in public. If I was a criminal, there was no way I was going to try and harm these people; they would take care of my life a lot faster than the justice system.”
