A few days ago, Chance reviewed the Crimson Trace Lightguard and of course, mall-ninjas came out of the woodwork to harp on how a light gives away your tactical element of surprise during a home invasion.

Sadly, the entitlement attitude isn’t limited to the younger generation

What do you do when you can’t manage your money correctly? Buckle down and trim the fat? Oh hells no! You simply assert that you have the right to someone else’s money “We are entitled to more money from the only industry in the county – Jack Daniel’s distillery,” said Charles Rogers, a 75-year-old retiree and self-described “concerned citizen” of Moore County – home to Lynchburg and Jack Daniel’s.

Kind of hard to round up people into the box cars when they can shoot your ass

Seems to be a common, lefty view.
