California vs. Texas

California :



Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks dog.




#1. Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

#2. He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

#3. He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

#4. Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

#5. Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

#6. Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

#7. State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease.

#8. Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack and for letting the Governor intervene.

#9. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.

#10. PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.

Texas :

#1. Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has spent
$0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Buzzards eat dead coyote.

And you wonder why California is broke????

Firearms Refresher Course

I got this from my trusty veterans' online group:

FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE

1. "Those who hammer their guns into plows will

plow for those who do not." ~Thomas Jefferson

2. Those who trade liberty for security have neither.

--John Adams

3. Free men do not ask permission to bear arms.

4. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a

subject.

tries to control them.

6. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control.

7. You only have the rights you are willing to fight

for.

8. Know guns, know peace, know safety. No guns,

no peace, no safety.

9. You don't shoot to kill; you shoot to stay alive.

10. Assault is a behavior, not a device.

11. 64,999,987 firearms owners killed no one

yesterday.

12. The United States Constitution (c) 1791. All

Rights Reserved.

13. The Second Amendment is in place in case

the politicians ignore the others.

14. What part of 'shall not be infringed' do you NOT

understand?

15. Guns have only two enemies; rust and

16. When you remove the people's right to bear

arms, you create slaves.

17. The American Revolution would never have

happened with gun control.
