Where I can get my pistol engraved like this?

Does anyone know where I can get my pistol engraved like this?


 

 
Things that I found helpful by living this long.    The purpose of fighting is to win..

The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.



1.  Don't pick a fight with an old man.  If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
2.   I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.
3.  A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers.  The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?'
 The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'  
4.  The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm.
 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No Ma'am.  If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my shotgun.'
5.   Beware the man who only carries one gun.  HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!

But wait, there's more!


I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house.  I said I did.
 She said 'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!'  To which I said, of course it is loaded, it can't work without bullets!'

She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?' My reply was, No not at all.  I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded too. 


And Remember:  





I'm a firm believer of the 2nd Amendment!
   
If you are too, please forward..

ALERT - QUESTION: WHEN IS A GUN CASE NOT A GUN CASE?

ANSWER:  When Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez says it's not.

In October, 2009 the Illinois Supreme Court ruled on Illinois v Diggins where the court determined that the center console in a vehicle counts as a 'case' under Illinois law.  In response, Rep. Harry Osterman (D-14) filed HB5849 to change the law and nullify the court's decision. 

How they plan to do this is to add language specifying that the case your firearm is in needs to be specifically designed for the transportation or storage of firearms.  Doesn't sound like a problem, does it?  Why would a person oppose such a 'reasonable', 'common-sense' change? 

Why? Because, in the finest tradition of 'gun control' bills, this one includes subjective and loaded language designed to trip up firearm owners and put them at the mercy of prosecutors.  The full language of the change is a case 'designed for the SAFE transportation of firearms'. 

Safe?  What does that mean?  Is a zippered, nylon case from your local sporting goods store considered 'safe'?  Not if this bill passes!  Does it have to be a hard case? Plastic? Metal?  Does it require a lock?  Do you really want that decision to be in the hands of the office that supports the Chicago handgun ban

Please call your state representative this week starting Thursday morning and ask them to OPPOSE HB5849.

Remember to be polite, you will likely speak with the representative's secretary that may not share the same political views as those she works for.  Phone calls are more effective if made between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm, increasing the chance your call will be answered in person.

You can find contact info for your representative right from the ISRA's legislative page.  If you're not sure who your representative is, please find out at the Illinois State Board of Elections.

You can find up-to-date information on  this bill as well as the ISRA's stance on other bills at the ISRA Legislation page.

The ISRA will continue to advocate for YOUR rights as firearm owners and citizens  but it does not have the support of taxpayer dollars or the Joyce Foundation like the anti-gun efforts have. If you are an ISRA member, we need your continued support. Please make a donation on-line here, or over the phone at 815-635-3198. If you would like to mail or fax a donation, we have a printable form here. Even better would be to sign up friends and/or family members with gift memberships.

If you're not an ISRA member, now is the time. You can join on-line, or over the phone at 815-635-3198. You can download a printable application form here.

Please post this alert to all internet blogs, bulletin and message boards to which you belong. Pass this alert on to your gun owning friends and fellow sporting club members. You can also join us on our FaceBook page or Twitter along with hundreds of other fellow firearm enthusiasts.

ISRA Supreme Court Case on March 2

ALERT - Supreme Court to hear oral arguments in ISRA case
McDonald v Chicago
 




On March 2, 2010, the Supreme Court will hear arguments opposed to and in support of the Chicago handgun ban which has been in place since 1982. This case, McDonald v Chicago was filed by the Illinois State Rifle Association immediately following the landmark 2008 case Heller v DC. Currently 38 states, 305 US Senator and Representatives and over 700 state legislators, to name just a few, have filed briefs in support of the defendants. View all the available filings and briefs at ChicagoGunCase.com.

This case is expected to not only overturn the ban in Chicago but to finally provide incorporation of the Second Amendment to the states. To think that this will end Mayor Daley s attempts to maintain Chicago s draconian gun laws, however, would be to ignore his recent statements made at the US Conference of Mayors:
In the face of strong opposition from the NRA and other gun extremists, we will continue to advocate for the rights of cities to regulate guns and to coordinate efforts with other cities that share our position.
As soon as possible, the ISRA website will have links to the oral arguments. Those links will go out over Twitter as well as an additional email message.

The ISRA will continue to advocate for YOUR rights as firearm owners and citizens (which Mayor Daley considers extremist) but it does not have the support of taxpayer dollars or the Joyce Foundation. If you are an ISRA member, we need your continued support. Please make a donation on-line here, or over the phone at 815-635-3198. If you would like to mail or fax a donation, we have a printable form here. Even better would be to sign up friends and/or family members with gift memberships.

Critical Care: The Patients' Summit is this Thursday

From Americans for Prosperity:

The battle to stop the takeover of our health care is not over.

On February 25, President Obama will hold a "Health Care Summit" where he and Speaker Nancy Pelosi will attempt to push their "new" health care plan that was written behind closed doors on Congressional leaders and label it as bipartisan.

This “summit” is nothing more than a public relations stunt by the White House to appease those fighting for free market health care policies.

The Left thinks this “summit” will be a game changer for their health care takeover. It’s important we let them know we are still paying attention and we won’t stand for Washington bureaucrats controlling our health care.

Americans for Prosperity is holding its own Critical Care: The Patients' Summit to deliver a simple message:  the American people have rejected this trillion-dollar takeover of health care. So Congress should start over from scratch, or better yet, focus on policies that create jobs and get our economy moving again.

This is an important event and I want let you know you can watch the live video stream at starting at 11:30am EST at http://americansforprosperity.org

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid publicly said he would use the budget reconciliation process, which requires a simple 51 vote majority, to jam through a health care bill within sixty days.

A lot of senators and congressmen are wondering if the mood of the American people has changed.

We've got to show them that the American people simply do not trust the Washington politicians with our health care.
