As to the boys taking orders from dad, I’m intimidated by both, I have nothing but tons of respect for both of them, and wouldn’t even think of issuing either of them an order.
By all means, let us get to the Farm, for hours of practice.
And I’ll drink to the toast.

A huge thank you and your sons for simply “being there” from all of us here at RedState.

A true honor to have the father of a Gunny and Sheriff on board.

You handle the operational/field end, I’ll deal with logistics and surveillance setup pieces.

My only “want” for the beginning stages is to get out to The Farm or some other high-tech toyland so we can have some real fun.

We’ll get our long-shooter(s) toots-sweet with the help of your boys …….who are also hired on the spot – that is if they’ll take orders from Dad.

;-)

Oh yeah…. Please don’t call me “sir”. Like I heard someplace before, ‘I work for a living’. My Dad is “sir”, he’s retired.

;-)

God Bless America !

Cheers !

My eldest son is a Marine gunny, I'm sure he can nominate one or two long shooters. My youngest is a deputy sheriff, he may be interested also, especially if it involves long range shooting.

Amazed me, but not him.</p> <p>My police department transitioned from the standard wheel gun to the P229, what a great gun, at least for me. </p> Sir, when do I assume my duties?

2)I’m just a few years passed 35, but that counts as experience!

3) I had a wide variety of reposnibilities in the Navy, including stewardship of other peoples money, MONTHLY auditing thereof, always by a different officer. Responsible for helping them select career decisions, and helping get them out as fast as possible for drug violations.

4) I admitted to my parents and Navy recruiter for marijuana use BEFORE I joined. Never touched it since.

5) I knew and understood the 10th General Order of a Sentry, “To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased. (Under a wrapping cover for transport)” at age 6 because I knew that saluting the flag has ALWAYS been right.

5a) Under revised federal standards, as a Veteran, I can now render a hand salute out of uniform at the flag, on parade or during the National Anthem.

6) I wear a flag pin, and I fly my flag at home, lit at night.

7) I owe NOONE a politicla favor of any sort.

SecDEF or VP, the choice is yours Darin

If you can read this, thank a teacher; If you can still read this in English, you’re welcome.

Merry Christmas to all

I love the honesty ’round these parts.

I work cheap too, thus saving the taxpayers a bit of their hard-earned money…….. A few quid, a place to sleep and ammo for practice.

My only perk would be as long as I can somehow end up seein’ (TV, DVR, live, etc.) my fav rednecks drivin’ 500 miles in a circle every weekend, I’m at your disposal.

I just think they’re pretty much useless as pets go. I’d rather have a corn snake if I need to deal with mice.
