Yes. When I was young open carrying was normal. I used to buy ammo at the store by myself when I was 10. I would get the wasp .22 and ac/dc tapes and then back to the cattle ranch with my Walkman. Used to practice by taking shots at birds in the trees and even drove a beater truck when I could not reach the peddles.

I wish my kids had that experience but when I was there I was also super bored and alone for long stretches.

I have been blessed by God to have many experiences in my life. From chit-kicker to wanna be gangsters I have experienced and every one in between. I could have taken the road to real trouble with a crew of people and one day I prayed to God and left it all behind.

The best people no matter what is the free thinkers. There much of those riddled thru the types of people. The worst ones I have had experience with are those that play that weird game of words mixed with emotions and always salivating for the wrong word to be said—even when I was young I hated the woke mind virus.

Those who tell me to shut up and get a drink with me so to speak are always cool.

For people in the USA to give up their rights from the bill of rights is very sad, yet even the most hard core conservative does not know that there is 5 parts to the very 1st amendment. See the woke mind virus does have some wisdom—it knows words matter and it knows what’s happens when words stop mattering. It has to silence the free people… it has no other option sadly.
