As we prepare for fall, back to school, clearing the leaves, and enjoying the cooler weather, we need to take a moment to pray for our country. With leaders, like Nancy and Barney, that will lie about anything to gain more power it is apparent that we have our work cut out for us. I for one would like to take EVERY incumbent and vote them out.

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
