Terry C,
A thought provoking series of videos, I've not been around much violence in my life, what little I have had 'touch my life' was not appreciated but was educational as I'd allowed a bully and my ego to draw me into his sphere of life - a heavy fisted hitter.
FreeBirdTim,
Yes it is Christmas, literally, and I do not wish to disturb your calm and peace but. I also go out into the places where most folks do not go as I appreciate the wilds and the peace there. So in ~ 2008 I'm out at remote section of a remote place, an old timer who had no business being in this place as he was 1) not capable of doing the hike in and out, 2) did not have proper gear but was enjoying himself just the same panning and being in this lovely place. Also down there at that time were four Russian Immigrants one with a whites GMT and three with brand new heavy duty Russian Issue Military Black Rifles, some of the strangest looking pieces I've ever seen. These guys made me feel edgy as they just reeked of Testosterone and looked like they wanted someone to play with. Of course I was carrying my common backpacking pea shooter, a modified Ruger Super Redhawk .454 Casull revolver. I knew then that I was out of my realm of knowledge and experience so I just kept quiet and watched. Since watching a lot of these videos I now have a better idea of what I might need to do to be capable of keeping my self safe and not play into a confrontational situation and yet be more prepared to take care of myself. Now I need to do some play acting to become familiar with confrontational situations. (note: I took pity on the old fellow giving him my 1/2 gallon water jug for his hike out - he still only barely made it)
I hope none of us ever need to use lethal force however there are those in this country who hate this country, hate our Christian values, hate our way of life and freedoms and wish to take all this from us by force. Remember 911, they stole our innocence and they are still within our borders and still want to bring the entire USA down to its knees.
At this 2017 Christmas Morning I offer a prayer to this Countries Heavenly Father and in the name of his precious Son Our Savior Jesus Christ to keep us all safe and wise about what is going on in this country as this war is not over yet, its only just started and may God Bless us all even our detractors.....................63bkpkr
PS - all of us used our free will, a god given right, to look at Terry's post or not. None of us were forced to read the thread
I still wish all of us here a wonderful Christmas morning/day with family & friends! I unfortunately have the flu & pneumonia so I will be spending it alone, the biggest celebration I will have will be to get some additional sleep.
