If Senator McCain does win the election next week, he will have his hands full. The economy will be possibly falling for another 3 years. It took 20 years of inflated mortgages and Acorn pressure on banks to put people that could not afford the homes to get to where we are today. It will not be fixed by spraying 700 billion at the issue. The fact that the government is acting and moving in such a dramatic sweeping action should cause all Americans to take note. We are only at the beginning of the rat. That is, if a snake were to eat a rat, you can see where the meal is through the process by just looking at the snake and look for the bulge. We do not even know how big the rat actually is.

 “In what proved to be one of the biggest Democrat cover-ups since Ted Kennedy avoided charges in Mary Jo Kopechne’s death, the media covered for the Democrats by blaming the ‘financial crisis’ on everything from de-regulation to testosterone, while we did ourselves in by adhering to the tenets of political correctness.” —A.W.R. Hawkins

The bottom line: We are in for an economic down turn for the next 3 years, or longer, no matter who wins the election. With struggling economic issues, crime goes up. There is a direct relationship between a healthy economy and lower crime. When people do not have jobs and money, there is more crime. Concealed Carry and Self Defense classes are filled all over the country. Guns and gun safes are selling like hot cakes. Just because you have the handgun does not mean you could actually save your life with it should you be in a disaster. You need to practice. If you do not know how to shoot a gun….take a class and get your CCW!! Pay an instructor. The small amount of money you spend on the class may just save your own life.

260 lb. Mountain Lion 70 miles NW of Abilene

 Near Swenson , Texas

(about 70 miles NW of Abilene)


Look at what James Snipe hit with his car on county road 328 north of Swenson Texas in Stonewall County . The lion was   still alive but unable to move, so our neighbor called animal control and they came and put him down. A land owner had seen this one a week before dragging off a 320 lb steer. Our neighbor is an amateur taxidermist and he's going to stuff him. This one weighed 260 lbs. while most mature   males mountain lions weigh 80 to 150 lbs. We had no idea they still roamed around here!

Obama open questions: 1: Why has he openly lied about his involvement with ACORN? 2: Why has he had his college records sealed? 3: Why has his United States Senate Office had correspondence regarding a one million dollar donation with a known terrorist in Kenya 4: Why has some of Obama’s relatives come forward and say that they were in the room when he was born in Kenya? 5: Why has he had two separate birth certificates on his website proven not to be from Hawaii? 6:  Why did Michelle Obama received an increase in salary at her job in a hospital when the hospital received a significant earmark? 7: How can anyone sit in a church for 20 years and not know what their pastor is preaching and only denounce his teachings when they become public? 8: Why did Senator Obama ask the Iraqi government to hold off on any decisions or agreements regarding the Status of Forces Agreements until he could get into the White House? 

What is the Obama campaign and the Democratic party trying to hide? Do they actually know what they are going to get if he is elected? Be careful what you ask for….you might just get it.

As for me and my house we will be clinging to our guns and Bibles. Happy trails and keep the lead down range.  Clark.

In the fall we teach the Boy Scout rifle and shotgun classes as well as our Concealed Carry Classes. Our classes are booked full and we need to plan for additional resources to adequately cover the classes. It is refreshing to get to the range and teach young men that want to learn gun safety and have a great time. It is even more satisfying teaching men and women of all ages that are interested in being able to exercise their right to protect themselves in our CCW classes.

Glenn Beck has been preaching for over a year about the perfect storm that awaits the United States. He unfortunately has been right so far. He has pointed out that McCain and President Bush tried to warn us of the financial mess that was about to blow up. He has also talked about on his radio show on October 2, and 3^rd about the run on safes in the United States. He also talked about the increased sale of guns and ammunition.

Money, guns and ammunition are not the only things that you need to in order to survive. Talk with your family, friends, and neighbors about a plan. Should we have a melt down due to a terrorist attack or financial run on the banks, you need a plan. Do not panic, but rather plan a head. Also, take a note from the Boy Scouts, “Be Prepared”.

Let’s all take a deep breath and clear our thoughts of the economy, political attack ads, and lying main stream media.  Take the extra time this weekend to spend some time with your family, friends and neighbors. Get outside, and walk the dog, play with your kids and go to church. After clearing out your mind, ask yourself some questions.  How long can your family survive without government services such as police protection, water, power?

Happy trails and keep the lead down range. – Clark
