I'm good.

So, I recently was hired to work for a company at my local airport. Yes, GO ME! And we have been training for a little while, but 10 hours at a time. Which for me is a huge change. But it's what I gotta do. Anyway, back to the story. So we got to the part about how to deal with firearms in the airport via checking in and all of that stuff. And I'm the kind of woman that is all for following the rules, when they make logical or common sense, but when I get into a conversation with another person who is COMPLETELY against guns and whom also has to make their point about it through an idiotic, illogical, rant. I have to suppress myself from becoming the type of person that either proves their point or drives them to that side of the spectrum. Which was happening. In training, which is work, where I'm required to maintain some sort of professionalism. Woo hoo!


No one who owns or respects guns(in my life these are the same thing. You don't respect the gun, you ain't gettin one!) is going to try and bring them on a plane. For reasons like, if they did they could lose their gun owning privileges. And many of these said collective they; hunt so they would be out of a way to provide to their families. And if they end up doing it, they're going to follow the rules.


Now let's talk about international hunting.

I think it would be the coolest thing to fly out of the country, immerse myself in a new culture and hunt something COMPLETELY new. I am not aware of very many countries that will let you bring a gun, even unloaded, into the country even if you're going on a hunt. However, I would put a solid 90% amount in my confidence that if you're hunting at a place that provides guides to take you hunting, they are most likely prepared to lend you a gun for your say. It just makes business and common sense. But I have never done that kind of hunt, but it's definitely something that I would love to do if given the chance.


Back to the workplace conversation.

So this gal was talking about all of the crazy people who have guns and believe in the doomsday stuff and just kept going on and ON about it. So first. Doomsday people are, IN MY OPINION, crazy. Not legally or anything, mind you. Just people taking an EXTREME situation to the WILDLY EXTREME. I was watching a show, Doomsday Preppers I believe, and this guy was teaching is community about radioactivity prevention. NEWSFLASH!!! If there is radiation in the AIR there is NO WAY YOU CAN PREVENT YOURSELF FROM BEING AFFECTED. Once in it's in the air, it will be in everything you touch or eat.


My belief on the doomsday.

It's a realistic threat. Is it coming tomorrow or next month? Probably not. I think that being prepared for something like a doomsday isn't necessarily a bad idea. But treating it like that is. If you teach your kids how to garden, hunt, camp, and various LIFE skills, then they will be prepared and they are less likely to get into the mess that you can easily see happening with the doomsday preppers. It's just like "If you catch a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish, he eats his whole life." People who feel the need to have enough guns to supply a decent sized milita...not my thing.


Here's my thing:

I've got a .243, and a 12 gauge shot gun.
I need/want, a bigger rifle for bigger game(like Elk or Moose), and a handgun.

Other than that?
I'm good.
