Joe Doakes from Como Park emails:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I convinced my wife to get her Carry Permit a few years back. I hoped the class would teach her something about the law of self-defense. She said later, “All those rules. What’s the point of having a gun if you can’t use it?” I think she watches too much television – she doesn’t want a permit to carry, she wants a license to kill. And that was before things got so bad we moved out of the city.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She can shoot okay, though. We went to my gun club to brush up in preparation for her renewal class. The shots in the upper diamond were from her .38 Special revolver, 21 feet, standing, iron sights, slow fire. The shots in the middle circle were rapid fire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Granted, the burglar isn’t going to stand around for five minutes while she wakes up, finds her glasses and locates the gun, cocks, aims, and fires. Taking her to the range to shoot for this photo is probably only giving her false confidence. But same is true for you and me and anybody else who doesn’t sleep with a gun under the pillow like the guy who died in that no-knock raid in Minneapolis. If we have time to get woke up and organized, he’s in deep doo-do. If not, we’re no worse off than before.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Now I need to find ammo to replace the rounds she shot. No .38 SPL at Fleet Farm or Cabella’s. The shortage is over for limited calibers and selections, but the shelves are not groaning like the olden days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Liberals are trying their hardest to provoke a civil war. I expect more riots this summer, drumming up outrage to get out the Democrat vote. Even if you lost all your hardware in a tragic canoe accident, Bill’s Gun Shop will rent you a pistol when you pay for the shooting lane. When’s the last time YOU were at the range?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Last time I was at the range? Last week.<\/p>

But since I lost all my guns in the lake, it was just to read the articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
