Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire It's Hard to Get Accustomed to Being an Old Fart

that's pretty good assumption in my book.
also true 100miles north of the border in the desert too.

One of the big issues in my mind, even more so today, is the number of blood carried deseases alot of people carry with them.
i don't want to be close enough to share.
fisticuffs went out a long time ago.
As to birdwatchers comments, your mind set might change if you are sitting on a hill watching black clad mexicano's sneaking BACK across the border with fn/fal's slung on their backs.

Mauser 1914

Hope they caught the illegals but even if they did probably had to let them loose. I carry an old Smith m36 but I've been looking around for a better choice for my full figured self to carry.

I said I would assume any old White guy walking around rural Southern Arizona is gonna be armed to the teeth. Not sure how my mindset needs to change.

Edited in: never mind, got it now.

Judging by the effort that was directed at catching them, I suspect that criminal charges were pending. However, most of those guys do get turned loose after being arraigned, and most don't bother to show up for their trial.

I live in a small town outside Houston. All you have to do is watch the nightly news. A couple shot each night. Not counting the robberies. I’ve warned my wife there is nothing left to steal were the ferals live . So they have to expand their territory. Always have a handgun with me. Usually another in my truck. Hasbeen

Too old to fist fight or grapple. Still able to shoot. I won’t be someone’s vic.

Never leave home without it.

Have 2 potential problem tenants right now. One has already threatened me. He gone.

Have a meeting with the other one today.

good enough, just to be clear, i wasn't talking about your mindset.
there within eyesight of crossfireops place, was the side of the huachuca mountains. Some nice homes up in the canyons. School bus stops on the main road to pick up kids. Mam's dropping off kids are all packing, and wait for the school bus to get on its way. there is a historic trail south/north used by the indians, now in use by the new arrivals. I have sat at gregs place after dark and watched the string of lights up on the mt. Greg lived only a few miles from the north/south river going through there. He would tell me of hearing automatic weapons fire after dark.

If in doubt......SHOOT!
