Well, that's the way it happened when I did! Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

He saw the pistol and hit the gas. Went back with the cops and she was gone... Speak softly and use a big bore... Where's El Cid when we need him...

There was time when bumming rides was pretty common and accepted. I remember when a GI could stand by the side of the road in uniform, and it wouldn't take long for somebody to pick him up. I did that many a time. Vietnam changed all that. Paul Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.

Ive even fed em' and bought em' smokes, When they climb in the cab and realize they just loaded up w/a silver back go-rilla all has been good so far, All I have seen are kinda nervous smiles. If they had any bad intentions, I havent seen any to date. But I remain prepared, and I like to help when I can, but wont die for it. Gunner Trump Won!

My buddy and I hitched while carrying shotguns back in the mid 70's quite a bit. We even got a lift from a Greyhound Bus, no passengers on board only the driver.

They found that over 80% of those surveyed had some kind of criminal record. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose.

I once got a ride from Willy Shoemaker (the jockey) in his big Ol' Cadillac with blocks screwed to the pedals, and I thought that was real cool. Never pick up anyone anymore, and only see about 1 hitch hiker a year... Old Fishermen never die, we just get reel tired. May you build a ladder to the stars and climb on every rung.
