A 6 yr. Olds Insight on Buffalo Wild Wings

Friday evening was a rare night as of late that we had no baseball games or practices, and Senior was home. It had been a few weeks it seemed since we had done anything as a family.
We ventured into a new sporting goods store and browsed the aisles, like most things these days the items were well over priced. So we left.
As we were driving around the dinner question was asked. Senior said BBQ and I agreed.
ND spoke up and said:

"I would like to go to Buffalo Wild Wings, but they don't let us have our guns, I don't think that's right cause what would they do if a bad guy came in with a gun, and no one had a gun to protect them and he shot every one"?

"Wow ND, " I responded  "that is a good question for a  6 year old to ask". And then I thought about this blog post, because I can bet the majority out there are not aware of the issues with BWW and their stance on gun control.

Buffalo Wild Wings launched this policy in 2009, and regularly issues the following statement when asked about it: “Buffalo Wild Wings respects the right of individuals to carry firearms. However, because we are focused on the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all of our guests, we have elected to exercise our right to restrict the carrying of firearms within our restaurants. We regret any inconvenience this may cause but believe that this policy is in the best interest of all our guests and our Team Members".

Okay, with that statement I do understand it is their establishment and they have the right to invoke it. However, it's pretty bad when a six year old can figure something out that the anti-gun folks can't: And that's making something a gun free zone, makes it that much more attractive to the bad guy.

Then with the paranoia the restaurant chain has caused, there is this recent story :
BWW Waitress invokes no gun policy on police

As far as dinner Friday night, we found a real hole in the wall Pizza place, with the best calzone I have had in years...

I am short on words today because it is one that we have been waiting for. Flanked by school kids, for a fake photo op BO is going to deliver his package on gun control.  Then the fight begins. I think its going to get nasty. Once again the freedoms the American people enjoy are being challenged..

Anyways, I love the above picture. Speaks volumes. 

I won't say this often but:  Matt you were right. I have tendinitis in my right arm. I am taking an anti-inflammatory and must take it easy with any lifting, pulling or pushing for the next few days. I can hardly squeeze my hand it hurts so much.  So, because of the pain I am off here for a little bit.

My letter to Dianne Feinstein...

So this morning my good buddy RED WOMAN had a nice post with a video about us ladies and our right to own guns.  Carrie Lightfoot from The Well Armed Woman is asking us girls to basically ban together, get educated and show our intelligence. . Carrie and Red Woman are urging us girls and every one else to write our representatives and Dianne a letter..I urge you all to do the same, Ms. Feinstein does promise that each and every one will be read.  Below is my letter. Of course I could have said more. But currently I am devoid of coffee

Dear Senator Feinstein,

I as a stay at home mom, mother and wife would like to know why you think the people of this great country have no right to carry a gun for personal defense?

Why is it okay for our politicians to have round the clock protection, but we the people can't?
Why is it acceptable for the Presidents daughters to go to a school with 11 armed guards but our kids can't have that same sort of protection?
Politicians like yourself are hypocrites..You want to take away our rights, but yet you keep them for yourselves.

Gun bans only hurt the law abiding gun owners of this country like myself. It does nothing for the criminals. If there is a will, there is a way. After all Ms. Feinstien, Cain killed Able with a rock. If you want to ban guns, then you also need to start legislation to ban rocks. How many died this week from alcohol related accidents? Where is the ban on alcohol and vehicles?

And last, lets not forget that terrorist hijacked planes with nothing more then box cutters, and committed mass murder by flying planes into  buildings. I have yet to see a ban on box cutters. In fact, Home depot sells them in bulk packs. And people still fly every day..where is the ban on airplanes? Like I stated..where there is a will, there is a way.

Arming our Schools....

I saw an article  about the school that the political elite of Washington, DC send their kids too . "Sidwell Friends"  with the $34,000 a year parents pay in tuition it also comes with 11 armed guards.  I understand the whole  thing that the kids that attend are of political families and need protection mumbo jumbo. But honestly why is it okay for their kids to have around the clock protection, and our kids can't. Just because of their parents, does that mean their lives are worth more, and our kids are expendable? Whose to say that one of our kids in a normal school isn't going to grow up to be someone great, maybe even a future President.

These are the same parents who are proposing new gun ban legislation, but yet send their kids to the most guarded school in America. Kind of comes along with the Obamacare issue, its good for everyone else except them. People like Feinstein and her cronies are actually coloring the kettle black with this issue. 

I would like to get a group of us moms together to go testify before them all. Moms who carry...moms who believe in the second amendment and our rights to bare arms. And Moms who want to see properly trained teachers and school administrators carry. If school districts can't do that, then put some of our unemployed veterans to work as school guards......

Okay,that is my take..
