Allan: Well said.
One of the reasons that we decided to move to SC when we decided to leave San Diego was because of the liberal gun laws and CCW laws. I had a CCW in San Diego in the 80’s and early 90’s but then the politicians inserted their noses into CCW permits and that became a thing of the past. In SC, you can even carry a pistol in your unlocked, glove compartment and you don’t have to have a CCW permit. This really holds down the number of attempted car-jackings because the criminals never know who has a gun in their car. I’m very unhappy with GWB but this far-left leaning Obama gives me a very bad feeling and I’m old enough to have seen enough of these types occupying other political offices (aka Kerry, Kennedy, Feinstein, Boxer, etc) to know that I don’t want him in the White House. It took me a while to come to this conclusion because he was unknown to me (and most of the nation) when he announced his candidacy. Now that I’ve watched him side-step the overwhelming majority of issues when asked some hard questions and watched his relationships with Rev Wright come out in the open……………………I’ve made up my mind that McCain may not be my ideal candidate but he’s a whole lot better for my ideals than Barry Obama.
