WHO ARE THE REAL LAWBREAKERS?

Nikki and Ben Goeser

THE SECOND AMENDMENT

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

  On most things the Founding Fathers got it right. There is nothing that I can disagree with in the Bill Of Rights. Many, if not most of the problems that America has experienced since 1791, when the Bill of Rights was ratified, can be traced to the fact that our government has not always upheld these rights. The Bill of Rights tells us what the government cannot do, not what it can do. Why is it that a state like California can restrict my right of self defense with a gun, but they cannot restrict my right to an attorney, or a jury trial, if I am caught with a gun in their state. There is a big difference between a law abiding citizen and a law breaker. In case you didn't know. Gun laws are only observed by law abiding citizens and only hurt law abiding citizens. This is why I oppose any new gun laws. When I visited California in 2016, in compliance with their laws, I placed my guns in a lock box. My ammunition was placed in a separate lock box. That is where they remained, the entire time I was in California. This left my family, and myself, virtually defenseless and dependent on their police force. Who were pretty much guaranteed to arrive after I no longer needed them. In every state on the way to California, I was able to carry my weapon. Contrast me with the 19 year old man who bought an Ak 47 in Nevada and shot eleven people at the Gilroy California Garlic Festival, killing three. This man would be classified as a law breaker who broke numerous laws in the process. Can you see the difference? Oh yes, guns in the hands of police officers stopped the man from killing more. Law abiding citizens like myself, who were at the festival, were unable to do it sooner because of California law.

In 2009, Nikki Goeser was being stalked by a man in Nashville. She and her husband Ben Goeser ran a mobile karaoke business. Nikki was very well trained with a pistol, but because she was a law abiding citizen she would leave her gun in her car when doing karaoke gigs in bars. At that time in Tennessee, you were not allowed to carry a gun where alcohol was being consumed. The law has now been changed. You can carry a gun as long as you are not drinking. That did not help Nikki in 2009, however. She watched in horror as the monster who was stalking her emptied a revolver into her husband killing him dead. She knew he was there, and had asked management to remove him from the bar. Too late, the stalker was the only one in the bar with a gun.

Suzannah Hupp was eating with her parents at a Killeen Texas Luby's on October 16, 1991 when a monster drove his Ford Ranger pick-up truck through a plate glass window of the restaurant and systematically executed twenty three people and wounded twenty seven. Ms. Hupp was able to get out alive, but her parents were killed. Just before walking into the restaurant she left her pistol in her car because there was no carry law in Texas in 1991. She was haunted by the fact that if she had had her gun with her, she might have been able to save her parents. Suzannah Hupp successfully lobbied for the first carry law in Texas, and this led to the carry laws that we now have in the majority of states in America.

  If I carry my gun in California, Chicago, or Washington D.C., where they have strict gun control laws, who is the real law breaker? Me or the government. Restricting my right to defend myself and my family is tyranny, pure and simple. I am a law abiding citizen now, but if the government ever tries to take my guns, I intend to uphold a right much higher than any law.

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while

CHARLIE PARKHURST

  Charlie Parkhurst aka One-eyed Charlie, Cockeyed Charlie, or Six Horse Charlie was born in 1812 in Vermont. Eventually he made his way out west to California where he became a teamster and one of the most skilled stagecoach drivers in history. He was small in stature but tough. Shortly after becoming a stagecoach driver for the California Stage Company he was kicked in the face by a horse and blinded in one eye. Charlie began his reputation as a tough driver when a robber named "Sugarfoot" held up his stage one day. Taken by surprise his only option was to give up his strong box. Six months later the Sugarfoot hit him again but Charlie was prepared this time. He blew him away with a shotgun at point blank range. Without blinking his good eye he rode off at a full gallop leaving the robber dead in the road.   He was an expert shot and an expert with a bull whip. Charlie could cut a cigar in half at fifteen paces while a man held it in his mouth. On one occasion he rolle
