Real Homeland Security - Charlie Daniels style

[qlajlu]

Good ole Charlie Daniels. Like his music or not (I might question your taste in music if you didn't like it) he is down-home, down-to-earth, wise, dedicated, a prolific writer, and 100% American.

Real Homeland Security

Now that it is common knowledge that there are terrorist cells in our own
country ain't you glad we didn't let the powers that be take away our guns?

In fact, if you don't have a good supply of ammunition I would advise you to go out and get more and if you don't own a gun I would advise every household to at least have one shotgun on the premises with several boxes of heavy duty buck shot. In fact, a good old scattergun is probably the best thing for close quarters defense.

Now before some of you, and we all know who, get your lingerie in a knot and start firing off hostile emails accusing me of being everything from an alarmist to a fascist, let me make a few points.

We are told that the terrorists have bored into our society and established
sleeper cells in our midst, that they are waiting for a signal to attack that could be forthcoming at any time.

Well what are you going to do if the guy down the street comes out in his
front yard with an AK 47 and starts peppering the neighborhood? As you
should know by now, these people care nothing for the kind of people they
kill. They would just as soon attack a kindergarten or elementary school as
anything else.

But anyway what would you do? Well the first thing you'd do is call the
police, which is the exactly the right thing to do.

But what if there are so many attacks going on around your city that the
police are stretched so thin they can't come to your community and the guy
with the AK 47 is coming down the street toward your house emptying clip
after clip into the homes of your neighbors.

At this point you've got two choices. You can curl up in the corner with
your family and prepare to die or you can reach in the closet and pull out
something to even the odds, take careful aim and put one right between the scumbag's eyes.

Or just forget the terrorist angle for a minute. We have all heard the
horrendous stories about home invasion. If somebody breaks into your house in the middle of the night you want to be holding something in your hand besides the bedspread.

A double-barreled twelve gauge shot gun comes to mind. Just point and punch. You may take out a door or a piece of the wall too but you can bet the lowlife won't be raping your daughter or anybody else's daughter, ever.

And no I don't take shooting somebody lightly. Human life is sacred. I have
never even come close to shooting anybody in my life and I pray that I never will.

But when a terrorist opens up on a crowd of innocent people or a home
invader breaks in or a punk walks into a convenience store with a gun in
their hand, in my book, they have just signed their own death warrant.

I am not advising people to buy guns and carry them around on their
person. However if you want to get a carry permit and do so that's alright
too. But a man has a right to protect his family and property and sometimes that takes drastic measures, up to and including firearms.

That's real homeland security.

Pray for our troops.

God Bless America

I'd put up my soul against a fiddle made of gold that an AK uses magazines.

Charlie is obviously better at music than firearms nomenclature.

 

[EarlofSandwich]

Oh great, now I have that "Devil goes down to Georgia" song going through my head.
AHHHHHHG!!!

 

[DirtyBrad]

Just poking a little fun. He's better with a fiddle than I'll ever be with a gun.

Well what are you going to do if the guy down the street comes out in his
front yard with an AK 47 and starts peppering the neighborhood?

Here, I think they'd be nailed with various hunting rifle calibers from several directions at once. A scoped hunting rifle becomes a sniper rifle when it needs to be. But in places full of blissninnies who don't even want their kids to do "anything aggressive", or they get doped up with ritalin?

I think a lot more people need to ask this question. Good on him.

 

[thumbody]

I kind of figured him for that sort the first time I heard In America.
His sentiments are a lot like mine. "If You don't like the way I'm livin, you just leave this long haired country boy alone"!

But anyway what would you do? Well the first thing you'd do is call the police, which is the exactly the right thing to do.

Here is the only thing I disagre with.

Someone else can call the police while little kids are getting shot, personally I'll be to busy lining up my cross hairs.

A lot of people can die in the at least five minutes it takes the police to get there, hell a lot can die in the thirty seconds it takes for 911 to pick up the phone and for you to tell them whats going on. Everyone has a phone and the will to pick it up, a crowd of innocent people doesn't deserve waiting to see if someone will pick up a gun too.

I think it's an implied thing ol' Charlies getting at. NI think you can figure out his meaning. Yes, personally, I'd be asking someone else to call the police while I'm going for my rifle. In a riddle of gunfire you never really know if anyone thought of calling 911, best to make sure, but get someone else to do it while you grab your "artillery".

Now, I'm the kind of man that wouldn't harm a mouse
But if I catch somebody breakin' in my house
I've got a twelve gauge shotgun waitin' on the other side
So don't go pushin' me against my will
I don't want to have to fight you but I durn sure will
