Is the glass half full...or half empty?

    Funny how the whiners go about their daffy complaints!  This complainer whines about the firing range that can be heard over a quarter mile away.
  Being a negativist, she claims.."we can hear them training to kill us"..

  If she were to look at it in a more positive light, she just as easily, could have said..."we can hear them training to protect us.."

  Surely it would seem that if she were raising her children correctly, she would have no worry about them being involved with police in any gun play!

Whether I'm at a gun store, or a city council meeting with police presence, or Church etc., where people are armed, I feel totally comfortable.
Only leftists who don't deserve the oxygen they use up feel otherwise.

i live in a real rural pro gun area. That said 4 different times i had state police show up at two differnt ranges. One was about a 1/2 mile away from a campground and the state cop came right out and said some camper from NC called and said someone was shooting toward the campground. 2nd time the cop wouldnt tell me where the complainer was from but its all south from here. I said screw it and went 5 miles away where a buddy has a cement batch plant and he let me set up a range back behind the plant. Problem is its about a 1/4 mile from a BP convivence/gas station. One day shooting an ar the state police came in and said someone called and bitched that someone had a full auto weapon. I had 4 ars there and he checked them all out and even shot a mag out of one of my ar pistols. Second time was the most comical. Someone again from the bp called and complained and the state trooper pulled in to see me and 2 deputys and the undersheriff shooting there. He said he would tell the dispatch to disregard anymore calls about this location. I havent seen them back since. Its the city people comming up camping and the city people that buy property up here and think the only sound they should here are birdies chirping.

  Sometimes we have to be careful.  One ti,e, years ago, I was down at my woods with a couple grandsons shooting a variety of weapons.  It was then that I asked my grandson, just returned from combat in Iraq, how bump-fire works.
   He had a regular 20 round mag along with his AR15, so he ripped off the 20 round mag..in a couple seconds.
  It  was just about then, that I decided we may want to leave for a bit.

  There are a couple houses within hearing range, but well out of sight, due to the woods and hills...but I still thought it prudent to leave for a while.

Around here we've had people
that buy houses adjacent to
gun ranges,  airports, racetracks,
cattle and horse ranches, grain
fields where there's bird hunting
every year, etc.
There's always some kind of
complaints and a "news" story
about these unfortunate people
that have to endure whatever
torturous mess that the media
writes about.
They never say in the story about
how the people didn't put any
effort into researching the area
where their nice new house is.

  Never could understand people who buy or build next to a shooting range, airport, hog farm or cabbage grower...then complain about the sounds or smells !
