PA Gun Owners & Hunters Support Rendell!

Yesterday I was in a small diner in Bedford County, PA, and made the mistake of joining a political discussion with a couple of fellows who are pro Rendell for governor. The reason for putting my 2 cents in was because one fellow was wearing a NRA cap and another a camo hunting jacket. I just wanted to point out some items of caution about Rendell's position concerning the rights of free men. That old brick wall started talking: "I vote my union and I vote my party/born democrat", "He'll never pass any new gun laws in PA, ther are too many hunters", "Good jobs are more important than a gun", and "Fisher is just not for the working man". The scary part about our little discussion in that little diner is that I have talked with many gun owners and hunters who feel the same way. Rendell's position on guns is only one of his positions that will affect the rights of free Pennsylvanians, just wait until radical environmental policies are instituted and the PA Gamelands become PA Recreational Lands. Heaven help us.

Personally, I do not see Fisher being all that much better-but he is probably going to get my vote.
I really wanted to see Casey get the Democrat nomination-I probably would have voted for him.

The only good thing about that is that a majority of the union guys tend to vote intellegently. When you run into the "not for the working man" argument, ask in what way he isn't. Remind them that Filphiadelphia sucks money from the rest of the state like a black hole, and that the school system there has the highest # of schools that went to state control, more of our tax money to Filphy. Every program he wants to institute will cost you more tax money. South central PA has always been a dem stronghold, "cause my daddy wus a democrat". Its not just the union guys, its their mommys and sisters who walk around clueless
Now Im P.O.ed, s@#t
If the Fudds could take in any more info than was spoonfed them from their union reps we would not have the chance of a Rendell in office.
Those people who see nothing but grey areas, no black and white, are lost in the fog.

Most hunters I know are more apathetic than anything, and don't vote at all. But they do have a lackadasical view of gun rights, that's for sure. They figure they will always be able to own their deer rifle and shotgun and don't worry about the other guy who wants to own a handgun or who wants to carry a gun for self defense.
BTW, what gun club has the nerve to post a Rendell sign at the entrance?

If you don't know your rights, you dont't have any!
2 story 4 bedroom home with full attic and basement. Situated on a double lot, you will have the largest yard on the block. Off street parking. Very large pine tree in front with chain link fence. Wrap around hardwood deck and small patio in the rear. 3 full size rose bushes and assorted shrubbery. Located in south central PA, close to some of the best hunting with plenty of farms and game lands available. Surrounded by mountains on two sides. Will not flood since it is built on the base of Jacks Mountain. Lots of snow in the winter and somewhat friendly neighbors.
Reason for selling, I want to keep my gun rights, moving to Texas!

PA is still a gun-friendly state, and Rendell is doing his best to keep gun control from becoming an non-issue. On the other hand, I think Fisher does not want it to become an issue, either, as he probably sees what is happening right across the border in MD to Republican Bob Ehrlich. You see, Erlich had the gall to say at a campaign stop that he wants to look at MD gun laws and see which ones are actually doing anything, and if they aren't adding safety to the citizens perhaps they should be repealed as costly and ineffective. My, you should hear the replies that he is "extremist" and out of step with MD citizens and in the lap of the NRA.
Indicating any pro-gun leanings is just as politically dangerous (maybe moreso) than indicating any anti-gun leanings, so most candidates keep silent on the issue.
Man, lokdok1 - you nailed it. Two different species it seems. Gun owners vs. hunters.
I didn't mean to come off that harsh, I'm a gun owner and I do what I can, politically. What I mean by that is to educate (in my own humble way)those around me that are ignorant to the true meaning of the constitution,or those in danger of being brainwashed by gun grabbers, and,my daughter will let me know if the school teachers have too much to say. I print out articles opposing gun control and pass them out all the time. ( my ink cartriges are $34 a pc.)I don't like being called worthless. I'm not that eloquent soI don't say a whole lot, but when I hear some of these guys brag about the tons of guns they own and are not even members ofr the NRA or GOA, I let them know just how pathetic they are. Nothing ticks me off more than the fat slob that bellies up to the campfire all night and never gets up to get any wood.
