Every year hundreds of thousands of Americans use firearms to defend
themselves from attackers of one kind or another. Despite the state’s
reputation as a frontier state, Colorado’s Democrats are hell-bent on
disarming law-abiding citizens and, in particular, women, from being
able to defend themselves with a firearm. The latest is state Sen. Evie
Hudak
who,
at a hearing on banning concealed carry on college campuses, told rape
survivor Amanda Collins that having a gun would not have done her any
good. Collins had just shared her story of survival. Democrat Hudak berated her in response.
I just want to say, statistics are not on your side, even
if you had had a gun. You said that you were a martial arts student, I
mean person, experience in taekwondo, and yet because this individual
was so large and was able to overcome you even with your skills, and
chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to
get than from you and possibly use it against you …
Or she could have shot him, or cornered him and called 911 to get the
police to come pick him up. A pistol can be a great equalizer in the
face of a threat.
Colorado is a stalinist commie state. They will kill you if you are unarmed. Colorado's commies are also cowards.

DeleteWell, they can get my address in the phone book. Molon Labe. And, sadly I must say that the average brain-dead American wouldn't know a Communist if it bit him. Our nation has been dumbed down to the level that the great Anti-Federalists like Richard Henry Lee, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson warned about as a possibility with our Constitution. I took an oath in December 1956 to protect and defend it. When the word "United" is removed from it I will return to its defense. North Carolina should stand alone.
ReplyDeleteGot your train ticket yet?:)
DeleteI haven't got the full-time nurse yet. Working on it.
DeleteOh, I guess you can't come alone or be allowed to.:)
DeleteOf course she can afford to be glib. She will never EVER be targeted for rape.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine why.:)
DeleteFriday's Physical Therapy interview will decide what I'll do for the next 2 or 3 months. It's in the hands of the Great Mystery, the deity I inherited from Rusell Means. Heh.
ReplyDeleteCan you slip her a few centavos to say you're good to go?:)
DeleteWhat a maroon!
ReplyDeleteBut a dangerous one.
DeleteI was checking out State Senator Evie Hudak yesterday when a young woman stopped to visit. She has previously done some home care work for me and is a deserving person, whose throat was cut among other things in a domestic violence event. She had previously talked to me about carrying a gun which I advised against because she lives in a trailer park where bullets just zip through adjacent dwellings. I advised pepper spray or a Taser, which she says she is getting.
ReplyDeleteI mention her because Hudak represents the district where this girl lives. So I put this post and comments on the screen and let her read it.
Hudak is guilty of two of the three basic Coloradan Character Defects. She is Ignorant and Arrogant. Unfortunately she has not progressed to the third, Irrelevance. I can only hope.
Today's Denver post relates that Hudak had a private meeting with Miss Collins and apologized. Collins was not impressed. The student had a concealed carry permit which she was not allowed to use at school. I say F___ concealed carry. Just carry if you're in a place where you or others cannot be depended on to protect you.
I'm trying to find a man as strong as I was a year ago to take my spare tire and holder off the back of my van so that I can mount the scooter carrier I bought at Harbor Freight Saturday. Far Northwest North Carolina, from whence came some of my uncles' fastest transporters and Laurel Bloomery, TN, which is also far out, will be beautiful in April. I think I'll cruise through there and see what's for sale.
. Just carry if you're in a place where you or others cannot be depended on to protect you.
DeleteAgreed.
If you're got the time, then by all means come by car and look around instead of taking the train. When I was a child the train was wonderful, excellent food, service, silver ware and linen. Today it is a disaster as we found out in 2002 when we took a family car from CA to VA.
Your original question was whether or not I still make my own decisions. Add the Healthcare Community to my comment about concealed carry. Nearing 80, every day is a good day to die. Eff 'em all, eff 'em all, the long, the short, and the tall. Heh.

Bless 'em all,
Bless 'em all.
The long and the short and the tall,
Bless all those Sergeants and WO1's,
Bless all those Corporals and their blinkin'/bleedin' sons,
Cos' we're saying goodbye to 'em all.
And back to their Billets they crawl,
You'll get no promotion this side of the ocean,
So cheer up my lads bless 'em all.
I remember the movie Guadalcanal Diary in 1943 where it was sung. Time flies.
Thanks. I need to see that again since the last time I was very young.
