Let’s see now...

Defending one’s family and castle against criminals
Defending one’s liberty against one’s own government
Carrying concealed to protect one’s self
Plinking
Collecting and trading
Competitive shooting
Cowboy action shooting
Skeet shooting
Support for any of the above

Nope, no hunting license required!

Did any of you see this from IMAO? I thought it was hilarious! http://www.imao.us/archives/009231.html

Oh my goodness, that was hilarious! Choice highlights:

"Now, I know this is one of the social issues I'm vulnerable on," Giuliani said, "as I've been honest about the fact that I want to abort gun owners. Still, you should at least admire the zeal at which I went after gun owners with my experience as a prosecutor. Just another reminded that I was in real life what Fred Thompson played on TV." He chuckled a bit.

Fred Thompson glared at him. "Shut up."

Giuliani bowed his head. "Yes sir. Sorry sir."

...

Fred Thompson pointed at the screen. "I want to beat up that sissy. Actually, if I am elected president, I promise to beat that sissy John Edwards."

"I really want to hurt him to," Giuliani said.

"So do all of you agree on the issue of hurting John Edwards?" Cooper asking.

All the candidates nodded in agreement except Ron Paul. "I'm not sure that's Constitutional."

"I also promise to beat Ron Paul with a rolled up Constitution," Fred Thompson said.

...

Duncan Hunter walked away as well. "I'm not irrelevant enough to stay here."

Ya know what?

I don't have a hunting license (at the moment) either.

BFD.

2A ain't about hunting, anyway.

Lots of shooters don't hunt.

Fred Thompson not only doesn’t add cream or sugar to his coffee, he doesn’t add water.

My kinda guy ...

No, more like a broadcast license. The 1st Amendment is not about just about televsion/radio.

I figured it out, they wanted to know if he had a license because he was hunting for deals on guns. I know that was bad.

I'll add my ditto to that one. Though it'd be nice if more people hunted deer around here since we have a serious deer overpopulation problem, I've never had a taste for it myself.

I think far more Americans understand that the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with sporting goods than most politicians and media pundits realize. Not only conservatives, but moderates, independents, and even some liberals will respond favorably to a candidate who opposes the kind of gun control the Democrat candidates are selling. Heck, I have a very good friend who is a liberal Democrat, but who has a concealed carry license and strongly believes in the individual's right to be armed.

If anything, 2006 showed that this is one issue no one need run to the left on. After all, how many of the new Democrat Congressmen were elected on a pro-gun platform?

He needs to pull a phony John Kerry....”Where do I get me one of those hunting licenses....?”

Or better yet, to appeal to the left, Thompson should go into an abortion clinic and ask “ Where do I get me one of those abortions?”

Well, the problem with eating the deer you hunt is twofold . . .

. . . there's a direct conflict between hunting for that nice B&C rack, and hunting for meat. A big old buck is going to be gamey and tough. What you want for the freezer is a nice, tender young doe or spike . . . but they lack the hood ornament.

. . . other problem is that the quality of the meat depends largely on getting it dressed out neatly and cleanly and to the deer process man ASAP. Unless you shoot your deer pretty near to deer camp or can get your truck pretty close to it, and unless your deer camp has running water and a hoist, it takes too much time to get the deer to the processor for the meat to be absolutely prime.

I got a small doe once from a tree stand that was about 50 yards from the dirt road where I had parked my Land Cruiser ute. Threw the carcass over the spare tire, drove straight back to camp, and had it dressed out in about 20 minutes. Then put it BACK on the spare tire and drove to the deer process man, whose trailer was about 1/4 mile down the paved road outside the gate to the deer camp.

Best venison I ever ate.

You need to check out The Chronicles of Dubya. There's a sample on IMAO.

“Bush’s beating of Chirac and Saddam with a sack full of kittens has created an international incident; will any apologies be issued?” a reporter asked.

“The president has already sent a written apology to the kittens,” White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer stated.

“Kittens can’t read.”

Fleischer rolled his eyes. “The president is not a zoologist. He can’t be expected to keep track of which animals can and cannot read.”

“So does the president have anything else to say?”

“Nothing more than his usual weekly proclamation of his complete and utter contempt for the press. Oh, and he bet me five dollars I couldn’t hit one of you in the eye with my pen.” Fleischer then flicked his pen at the reporters....

I actually meant I didn’t personally have a taste for hunting as a sport. I love venison.

I was scratching my head over the title of this one...and was thinking what does hunting have to do with Gun Ownership and rights via the 2nd amendment.

Now I get it...liberals don’t know any better. Remember John Kerry’s Duck/Photo hunt? The media just dosn’t get it.

If Fred by chance did have a 2007 Tennessee deer tag, would the press not slay him for going hunting, the lazy SOB, when he should be in New Hampshire campaigning for President, the lazy SOB.

Good point. It's fun to see how the media would spin the opposite news. Or replace the Good guy (Conservative) with the bad guy (Hildabeast) and then rewrite it.

Doesn't everybody?

I once took deerburger, made up into Swedish meatballs in sauce, to a friend's Christmas party. Now, this friend is as liberal as they come, but has a wicked sense of humor.

People would eat the meatballs and say, wow, this is great, what is it? She would say it was venison, then point to me in my (at the time height of fashion) Laura Ashley dress and little straw boater hat, and say, "And SHE shot it!"

A couple of people asked me in horror if I had "killed Bambi". I smiled and said, "No, this was Bambi's Mother."

I was sort of persona non grata among some at that party. But they still ate up all the meatballs!
