DONALD TRUMP HAS NEWS FOR ALL CONCEALED CARRY HOLDERS...
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is serious about the right to bear arms. Our country is at a time of potential threat from ISIS terrorists and with an influx of Syrian refugees, many are on high alert. Trump issued a statement to Breitbart calling for all concealed carry permit holders to actually carry.
He said"
"There are nearly 13 million concealed carry permit holders in the United States who are part of the 100 million gun owners who defend the Constitutional right to "keep and bear arms." This fundamental liberty is held closest by those who have gone through the process of vetting required to be entrusted with the ability to defend themselves, their families and their property with concealed weapons. The concept of concealed carry is as much intended to deter criminal activity as it is to provide direct defense of those who have those permits. Not all concealed carry permit holders "carry" all the time. Thus, the deterrent value is that those who might contemplate criminal behavior will think twice when that doubt exists.
Carrying a weapon is not always feasible or appropriate. However, given the increased tensions that are the result of continued, escalating terrorism around the world, more legitimately armed individuals on the streets is a positive outcome. Each permit holder must make the decision to carry or not carry. I will carry more often than I have in the past, and I am sure other concealed permit holders will do the same. Do we have an obligation to carry? The answer is "yes," but we must do it in such a way as to raise serious doubts in the minds of those who might be considering violence in America...

We moved to America several years ago and own our houses and office building outright. Bought them for under 15k each and in good condition.
My mother kept the house in Palm Springs so she could go out there in the winter. We just inherited it this summer when she died. It has been paid for and in the family for 3 generations (over 50 years) and is on 5 acres. I would pay more in taxes to sell it, plu, CA is caveat vendor (seller beware) and there is more work needed to sell than I can get for it (we are rural so no cable, bad internet, no trash pickup, dirt road, septic tank and well rather than city sewer and water and you can’t get building permits). Basically i can rent it out or I can spend my winters where it is warm.
I would never have a mortgage. I don’t believe in debt. Even all my farmland is paid for and I don’t have credit cards. Cash only.
That one is not really very concealable...by most people.
There are armed citizens behind most blades of grass too.
Nice comeback. Too many youngsters prolly didn’t get that little piece of history.
Good for Trump! ( but in America the government cannot constitutionally require any licenses, fees, tests, or permits to purchase, own, or carry )
Anyone who instantly understood what you were alluding to is an old fart like me :-)
I think we’ll find plenty of lefties carrying now too.....but they’ll never admit so.
Maybe not such a good idea. If God forbid there should be a bad guy in the crowd, he’ll go for the other line.
Juvenile. A .44 mag is the dumbest caliber for self defense against 2 legged animals.
Whether there is historical proof that Admiral Yamamoto
ever said it(behind ever blade of grass is an American with a rifle)...is unimportant.
He knew America and could only guarantee the Emperor
six months...
“The Battle of Midway was a crucial and decisive naval battle in the Pacific Theater of World War II.[6][7][8] Between 3 and 7 June 1942, only six months after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor ...

Did I read that we have ONE American left that dropped Bombs at Midway? We owe them a better nation...Pray for Ted Cruz and Donald Trump...I trust Ted Cruz More.
Apparently it’s a misattributed quote.
“You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
It has been declared this attribution is “unsubstantiated and almost certainly bogus, even though it has been repeated thousands of times in various Internet postings. There is no record of the commander in chief of Japan’s wartime fleet ever saying it.”, according to Brooks Jackson in “Misquoting Yamamoto” at Factcheck.org (11 May 2009), which cites Donald M. Goldstein, sometimes called “the dean of Pearl Harbor historians”, writing “I have never seen it in writing. It has been attributed to the Prange files [the files of the late Gordon W. Prange, chief historian on the staff of Gen. Douglas MacArthur]”.

Honor to those that Honor is due.
Every time I go to church I get to shake the hand of a Man that put bullet holes in a Japanese plane and then spent the night giving morphine to his shipmates burned by the bombs exploding...Another Man at church in his last days now... was attached to MacArthur’s command unit and helped to throw much of Japan’s atomic research into the bay...I thought it was Tokyo Bay..but I may be wrong about the location.
To all that have fought and died for our Nation we owe much.
Continue to Fight for a Nation that They fought to protect.

“I think we’ll find plenty of lefties carrying now too....but they’ll never admit so.”
I know several progressives who constantly post anti gun, anti NRA, and anti 2nd Amenment propaganda on Facebook who carry. My comment to them is if they truly believe their ant gun rhetoric they should voluntarily turn in their weapons and actively work for a Constitutional amendment to repeal the 2nd Amendment. They act like I’m crazy but they fail to see the hypocrisy in their behavior. More of the elitist view that the smart people should be able to live by different rules.
I suspect the DNC insiders know most of their base supports firearm ownership. Certainly blacks and Hispanics own arms in large numbers. Many white male union members do as well. Likely the academics, journalists, social workers, and naive young females constitute the hardline anti gun constituency in the party. They are probably less than 30% of party membership.
Tell me about it!
Wife and I once met a true progressive who would hold forth loud and proud about his socialist convictions. He saw no disconnect with cheating on his taxes, either.....
Good for Trump for pointing out that our government is not protecting us, and what we can do about it.
As a resident of Maryland, a “may issue” state where one requirement is “has, based on the results of investigation, ‘good and substantial reason’ to carry a handgun, including a finding that the permit is ‘necessary as a reasonable precaution against apprehended danger’,” I will probably never carry legally.
Do not need The Donald to tell me this.
Now I would like to see that one.
Great post.
Bet that never ever happens.......
People need to look at other peoples actions instead of just their words.
Trump got lots of words and they are all great and beautiful, unless they are stupid.
