Mention the word ‘veteran’ and what do you think of? Chances are you think of a man that has seen combat in some capacity. Guadalcanal, Normandy, Bastogne, The Frozen Chosin, Pork Chop Hill, Khe Sanh, Hill 867, Ia Drang, Grenada, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq…all of these places evoke a mental image of men in combat.

2nd Amendment, Iowa carry laws and Veterans concerns. Also anything else we want to talk about.

Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry memorial fundraiser to be held Nov. 12
A Brian Terry Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Scottsdale International Auto Museum, in Scottsdale, AZ.
He was a Marine, Police Officer and lastly a B.O.R.T.A.C. Border Patrol Agent who gave the ultimate sacrifice protecting our borders here in Arizona.
Although I have never been a police officer or Border Patrol agent, I was a Marine. That makes Brian Terry my brother. The fact that he was also from Michigan just makes the bond that much tighter.

On December 14, 2010, Brian was conducting operations as a member of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit in Nogales, Arizona. Brian and his team were targeting a “rip crew” who seek out to rob and assault drug runners. When Brian and his team encountered the 5 individuals in the “Peck Well” area near Rio Rico, Arizona shots were fired and Brian was shot in the lower back and mortally wounded during the exchange of gunfire and succumbed to his death on December 15, 2010.
Murdered by drug mules smuggling their crap into our country. The weapons found at the scene were tied to a ATF operation known as Fast & Furious. Guns that were allowed to be smuggled across the border to arm the cartels with American weapons. Agent Terry's life was wasted on a agenda. I pray that there will be justice for Agent Terry and for Agent Jamie Zapata and the hundreds of Mexican citizens murdered by our government.

Gun Haters are lying again
http://www.gunsmagazine.com/exclusive-wisconsin-carry-49-down-one-to-go/
Kristen Rand of the Violence Policy Center ramped things up a notch, claiming “Concealed carry permit holders don’t prevent mass shootings, they perpetrate them. They don’t support police, they shoot them.”
Really Kristen? Show me proof. I have carried a gun for years and I have never shot anyone, not even a cop. The way they tell it, with 6 million permit holders in the country, there should be bodies stacked up. So where are they? They don't exist, Except in the minds of the gun hatres. Here's my version of the famous line from Jerry McGuire, SHOW ME THE BODIES.
I have known a lot of cops over the years. Both professionally and as friends. I have always been a supporter of the police and the few times I've been stopped (my foot is a little heavy), I have always treated them with respect. And they have always treated me with respect. I have never even thought about shooting one. And I have participated in exactly ZERO mass shootings.
I think Kristen Rand and the VPC owe all leagal permit holders a big apology. But I'm not holding my breath.
