The Media will concentrate on Gun Control, citing the recent attacks of lone gunmen upon the defenseless innocent law biding citizens, adding the number of victims up and wondering when it will all end. In my home there was much more anxiety about the North Korean missile launch and what will happen. Probably because my wife is Korean and she doesn't fear me with guns as much as the media thinks she should. I told her that if the United States government had feared the Korean missile launch it would have been bombed, just one laser guided bomb and the threat would have been over - and it never happened, although President Obama thought the launch was an illegal act - which I am sure was never written anywhere in Hangul for Kim to read. You do know that there doesn't seem to be any problem with Gun Control in North Korea?
So we are going to have media examine the American gun culture, again. Diane Sawyer has a special about arming for self defense. Which I would be happier about if she really had been armed for the last twenty years or so... is there a reporter that does carry? that shoots any firearm regularly? is there a successful reporter or correspondent that does believe in the Right of the People to Keep and Bare Arms? Notice the loud roar of them, or is that a deafening silence? I really don't know, but if there is one I would be happier. I do know that John Stossel has done his best to point out the myth.

Well, it is Palm Sunday and time to prepare for church, Luke 22:36. Be good out there, be very good. I will shoot this afternoon - but then it is still a legal activity where I live. Go gently.

Well, with talks of possible changes in gun laws, I purchased a Taurus Ultra-light revolver. We have a variety of guns in our home, our sons hunt and target shoot. As my hands age I can no longer work a slide action of the other handguns with ease. The Taurus will also be ideal IF my state should ever go concealed carry. I was shocked at the price of .38 ammunition. Paid $50 for a box of 50. And I got the last two boxes of Remington bullets on the shelf. Can't get 9mm ammo in our corner of Wisconsin at this time. The fella behind the counter said, "Obama has been the best gun salesman we've ever had". The verification line was so busy he told me to just go home and he'd have to call in my information later that day. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet, hopefully soon if it ever warms up and quits snowing here in the Midwest!
