Drove through Texas and New Mexico today. Watched the VP debate in a Mexican bar. First thing the guy sitting next to me said when the bartender turned the debate on: “All I know is that if this guy and that Obama guy get elected, they ain’t touching my gun.”

The guy was probably right.

Quick story: once I was dating a hardcore libertarian and she took me to the firing range, where I fired a handgun. I was actually a pretty decent shot, but firing the gun scared the hell out of me, and I pray that I’ll never have to fire another one as long as I live. Not a handgun, at least…maybe I’ll take up squirrel hunting during retirement…
