Proudly exercising our Second Amendment rights

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

KelTec PF-9 We’re continually celebrating citizen rights and responsibilities here at the Morris ranch — our current topic is the Second Amendment. And what better way to celebrate the Second than by buying guns :)

We’ve made two additions: a handgun and a shotgun. For the handgun I decided on a KelTec PF-9 9mm; it’s inexpensive, good quality, comes with a lifetime warranty, and is small enough to make an excellent carry weapon.

Remington 870 Express Synthetic 18'' For the shotgun, we went with Remington’s 870 Express Synthetic with the 18″ barrel — a home defense standard. 12-gauge, pump-action — pumping a pump-action shotgun within earshot of some hapless schmuck who’s just broken into the wrong house is a pretty good way to end the confrontation without having to pull the trigger.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?!

Sorry :(]

Holy bottle, Batman!

From my mother’s photo collection and emailed to me today. Her notes:

The larger you make this photo for viewing, the more the impact.

…notice the eyebrows…
