If anyone cares to look through my posts a few weeks back you will see that I was the only person in here that said the dollar would rise, it has. It will continue to do so due to long term cycles in place as well as shorter term seasonals.

As for the comments on guns, a thousand rounds? That is complete hogwash. The first time I ever shot a gun it was at someone who was trying to break into our home. I was 15 years old, I saw someone throwing his shoulder into our front door to try and break loose the chain. I ran into the room where my dad had his gun, grabbed it stuck it through the opening between the door and the opening that was still being held although barely by the chain and fired 3 times. Unfortunately I missed the guy I have no idea how but I did, my aim was lousy at that point.

I then ran out the door after opening it and fired the rest of the rounds at his car as he flew down our driveway. It could not have been easier, it was just pure instinct. Maybe everyone would not react that way but to say you are a danger if you have not fired a thousand rounds is general statement and ludicrous. I will agree with one thing though, and I taught this in martial arts classes, never take a weapon out if you are not immediately prepared to use it. It will get turned against you if you hesitate. Some people will never be prepared no matter how much they train.

To this day I wish I would have hit him. My aim is very good now so I won’t miss if something like that ever happens again. I also have 700 lbs of dogs backing me up now in case I do miss.

Let’s hope things do not come to that but I am prepared if they do. I am also personally prepared to help people in need if and when I can.
