 Another story the media Will Not cover

Michigan passed a law several years ago allowing CCW permits (carry & concealed weapon permits)after taking a class and passing a background check. Most people after finding out that I carry, asked me "why". I always say "why not". If the law allows me to drive 70mph, I do. If they allow me to carry a pistol, I do.

Wouldn't you feel bad, if you had the opportunity to carry and didn't. What if something happen that could have been prevented, particularly to a family member.

If you don't like the laws in NY, sell your property and move to Michigan and bring your guns.

I switch around with my pistols to keep familiar with all of them. I'm partial to my nickel plated S&W model 27- 357Mag. with 8 3/8" barrel (It is kinda bulky for concealed carry but fits nice in my briefcase) but I usually carry my Sig model 229 -S&W.40 with built in Lasermax sight.

I'm not a threat to anyone except bad people.

I think all of us are fed up with the system. Neither political party is going to solve our problems since there are to many do gooders out that don't have a clue on what is really going on. It is a sorry world that we live in and is going to be much worse. The world is being run by evil people.

The real deterrent is not shooting the gun but the fact of having it. That has kept us a free society. Free from invasion from other countries and bad politians. The bad guys have the guns, knives, etc. and the honest people get the license. I agree that many with a CCW are not up to the task but nobody in Michigan that has a CCW has killed or hurt anybody that I'm aware of. It would have been posted everywhere for sure if it had. It takes composure to no use it. It has unquestionably deterred crime. There are allot of fruitcakes driving cars, trucks and whatever that do kill and injure people.

In my past post I mentioned that New Yorkers should move to Michigan. Please don't bring Hillary!

Many of us that have tractors also share in many common interests such as machine shop and fabrication, fishing, hunting, sport shooting, boating, gardening, farming, etc. If you go to the bar, you don't just talk tractors all of the time. As a suggestion, I think Dennis should consider expanding our board or create links with this one. Those that only want to talk tractor stuff can and those that want more also can. (i.e. If you're a premium member you could do it all).

It is great that we live in a free society where we can express our thoughts. We can think as we wish. Sometimes our common interests and viewpoints get stressed a little.

Haven't started my tractor is several days now, so nothing broke or bent and assume it will start next time. So nothing to report on the tractor. In Michigan you can't mount a gun or have a gun on a moving vehicle. You can, but don't get caught. A local farmer got his combine and corn header taken by the DNR for using it while shooting pheasants in the fall.

Have you guys noted the number of pheasants at the road side lately. They must be getting stones for digestion and rock salt. The snow is hard packed here with a crust on top that the birds can pick through. This is the hardest month for critters to get through.

I've intentionally changed the subject matter so we can go in a different and more pleasant direction.
