Gentle readers, I intended to post an in-depth analysis of Paul Howard Jr’s press conference today, but relatives dropping in unannounced put a squeeze on my time. Mrs. Manor and I had to spiffy up the Presidential Suite/guest bedroom sooner than we imagined, but we managed. I’ll have that article up before the end of the week. In the meantime, this is a topic I last addressed on this scruffy little blog in July of 2019. While the Second Amendment has been relatively free from direct attack during Donald Trump’s first term—at least on the national level; pity Virginians–those that would steal liberty never rest, and leap at every opportunity to demonize inanimate objects, and particularly, free women and men that own and carry them.
I do not advertise the fact that I carry a concealed handgun, or that I am an instructor. However, on the occasions when this comes up, people are often amazed. Not because I am a diminutive wisp of a fellow–-I’m anything but, though I’ve lost 60 pounds and am less of a man than I once was–and if I do say so myself, and I do, I’m roguishly masculine (anyway, Mrs. Manor says she likes me)–but because I am a retired English teacher and singer, and my default facial expression is a smile. The resulting conversation usually goes something like this:
Friend: “Really? You carry a gun?”
Me: “Yup.”
Friend: “Where?”
Me: “Everywhere.”
Friend: “Everywhere?!”
Me: “I even carry a spear gun in the shower.”
Friend: “No!”
Me: “No; but everywhere else.”
Friend: “But why?”
I usually hit on a few of the high points, issues of logic, common sense, law—you know: reality–gentle persuasion enabling those that already know me to accept a side of me previously unimagined. Employing my most frequently used weapon–the keyboard–let us, gentle readers, reason together.

NOTE: I will make references to God. Because I choose Christianity does not mean everyone must. In fact, a fundamental tenet of Christianity is willing choice: one must choose to believe. One may accept and practice moral precepts–and reason–without professing a faith, and I make no judgment about anyone’s relationship with God, or lack thereof. I merely choose God, which is a deeply rational choice.
I CARRY A HANDGUN BECAUSE:
* Evil exists and may confront anyone at any time and any place.
*God exists and expects me to protect myself, those I love, and those that can’t protect themselves.
*When God leads me into perilous situations, as He sometimes has, He expects me to be prepared, and so I am.
*Self-defense is a God-given, natural, unalienable right.
*To fail to protect God’s greatest gift, the gift of life, is inexcusable.
*My life is worth far more to me, those that love me, and to a just society than the lives of vicious criminals and terrorists.
*The lives of the innocent—friend or stranger—are worth far more to me and to a just society than the lives of vicious criminals and terrorists.
*Three times in my life I raised my right hand and swore a solemn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. I have never betrayed those oaths and never will.
*By carrying my handgun, I honor the foresight and wisdom of the Founders in writing the Second Amendment.
* The Constitution is only paper and ink, a statement of principles and intentions. When the will wavers and when some wish to change, ignore or destroy those principles and intentions for imagined good reasons–or bad–only the threat of, and if necessary, the application of the force of arms will serve to preserve liberty.
*Seldom in American history has a reminder of the immediacy of that threat been more obvious than the dramatic, chilling and accelerated rush of the Democrat Party toward Socialism/Communism since 2016.
*While I’d prefer to carry a rifle or submachine gun, that’s impractical, and tends to excite the easily excitable.
*A handgun is the most convenient, usual and effective means of self-defense.
*Going armed reinforces and upholds the Social Contract.
*An armed society is a polite society.
*Those who lawfully carry concealed weapons are among the most law abiding.
Thomas Jefferson
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That’s why we have a Second Amendment, not for hunting, not for self-defense, but always and primarily to deter tyranny, and to allow the common man, the normal Deplorables of the great cultural wasteland of Flyover Country, to resist and overthrow a tyrannical government. Democrats/Socialists/Communists scream bloody murder when anyone says this. They should; they’re the people about who Jefferson was talking, and the domestic enemies of Normal, law-abiding Americans.
*Circa July 2020, the force of arms may be necessary if we wish to preserve the factual history and great legacy given us by the Founders, including their images on canvas, in bronze and in stone.
*The Second Amendment merely recognizes the unalienable right to keep and bear arms. It does not create the right. Government does not grant the right, nor can government take it away–not that some governments care about that.
*It demonstrates, as nothing else can, that I am the master of my government, not its slave; that elected officials work for me and only with my consent.
*I am a free man and no evidence of that fact is more meaningful and convincing than that I own and carry the firearms I prefer.
*It makes those that would rule me—all of us—through tyranny, soft or hard, red with rage. It couldn’t happen to worse people.
*It reminds them that in America, there are lines no rational, honest politician dare cross. They hate that. They want to draw the lines where they will and whenever its convenient.
*It reminds them that every iota of power they possess is on temporary loan from me and every other American. They hate that too.
*It reminds us all that the whims of the most connected and powerful politician may not prevail over the Bill of Rights as long as it lives and burns brightly in the hearts of patriotic Americans and is not merely fading ink on yellowing paper.
*As politicians try to abolish or emasculate the police, hire private security for themselves with taxpayer money, encourage and support lawless mobs, refuse to enforce the law, and continue to try to disarm the law-abiding, it reminds us we’re on our own. We always have been.
*It is the very means by which an oppressed citizenry may force despots to respect the natural rights of honorable men and women.
*It reminds even Supreme Court Justices their pronouncements will be honored only as long as they honor the Constitution and exclusively base their decisions on its text and the intentions of the Founders.
*Politicians harboring tyrannical intentions fear armed citizens like a vampire fears daylight. Their hatred serves to positively identify those that would steal liberty and hide behind spin, teleprompters and transparent lies they think clever.
*Semiautomatic handguns with “high-capacity magazines” are precisely the kind of firearms the Founders intended Americans to keep and bear.
*Anti-liberty/gun cracktivists wail common semiautomatic rifles and handguns would be of no use against a modern military. They expose their lie by trying to seize those weapons.
*Gun grabbing politicians don’t want me to have the most effective weapons, or any weapons.
*A single virus reminds rational Americans how fragile civilization can be, and how quickly it can all go bad.
*Corrupt D/S/C politicians are increasingly convincing the police actually enforcing the law and helping honest, law-abiding Americans is far too dangerous to their pitiful fortunes, the welfare of their families and to their liberty.
*Most politicians care about the welfare and continuing existence of individual citizens only in the abstract, only as occasionally useful talking points. Even honorable politicians can do little more than those who only pretend to care. We’re on our own.
The reality the Left envisions for us all–but not themselves
*Even in our representative republic, tyrants are always present and always waiting their chance. When the Constitutional convention was over, Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of government the Founders had established. He replied: “A republic, if you can keep it.” Whether we can keep it remains in doubt. Without the right to keep and bear arms, we can’t keep it.
Benjamin Franklin
*The 2020 election has revealed as never before, how passionately D/S/Cs hate normal, honest, law-abiding Americans, and what they intend to do to them as soon as they seize power.
Hubert Humphrey
credit: wikipedia.org
*With this in mind, Hubert Humphrey, one of the most famous and orthodox Democrats of the last century was right when he said:
Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.
Imagine a D/S/C today saying what Humphrey said.
*Those who willingly and meekly surrender to criminals surrender more than valuables; they surrender their dignity and honor; they surrender civilization itself.
*I am old-fashioned enough to think it my duty to protect those who have less ability than mine to protect themselves.
screenshot from a Glock commercial
*I could not live with myself for failing to protect women in danger. Call it sexist if you must, but if you’re unarmed and under attack, would you really think to call an unarmed, untrained D/S/C? Would an Antifa “activist” assist you? A BLM “protester”?
*Exercising the Second Amendment helps remind women it is the ultimate women’s issue. No one–apart from children–benefits more from the ability to stop criminal attacks.
*I know human nature. Like the Shadow, I know what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
*I know some criminals experience pangs of conscience. I also know that it does not prevent them from being predators, only that it occasionally causes them to feel badly for a few fleeting seconds thereafter.
*I know sociopaths exist, in greater numbers than most imagine, and they have no conscience. They care nothing for the feelings and pain of others.
*Some people really like hurting others. One need not engage in psychological navel gazing to understand the actions of predators. They do it because they want to do it, because they like it, and some, because it is an intense sexual thrill.
*Such people are everywhere, and are for most, impossible to pick out of the mass of mankind.
*Such people can be stopped only by the presence of overwhelming and imminent force: the gun.
*Living a self-imagined virtuous life is no defense against such scum.
*Having a D/S/C political and social philosophy not only is no defense against such thugs, it encourages, helps, even creates them.
*Politicians sometimes speak of a “war on crime.” They have no idea. The streets, and increasingly, our homes, are the battlefield, and whether we like it or not, we are all the combatants.
*The political pendulum has, once again, swung toward releasing predators from prison. The same people that brag about that “criminal justice reform” also want to abolish the police, disarm Normal Americans, and use tax dollars to hire private security. We’re on our own.
*The predators that would carry that battlefield into our homes are usually the most dangerous of all. They don’t care if people are armed; they just want to hurt the innocent.
*The possibility of having to fend off an armed attack in a mall, theater, restaurant, or other public place has never been greater, and if D/S/Cs get their way, it will become the new normal.
*Gun-free zones are actually free-fire zones for killers. Every mass shooting for decades has taken place in a “gun-free” zone (virtually all schools are gun free zones, and stupidly proud of it). This is no coincidence.
*Anti—liberty/gun D/S/Cs know this, but feeling good about their superior intellect and morality in establishing such zones is far more important to them than the lives of the little people like you and me– and our children. They want you to “feel” safe. Being safe matters only for them and their families, not you or yours.
*The police have no legal obligation to protect me—or anyone.
*The police simply can’t protect anyone; there are far too few of them and far too many of us, and circa 2020, proactively doing their jobs is a sucker’s bet/
*When seconds count, the police are always minutes (or in Detroit and many other places, an hour or more) away—when they respond at all.
*I accept personal responsibility and live accordingly.
*As an adult, I am solely responsible for my continuing existence.
*Accepting personal responsibility encourages me to be continually aware of my surroundings.
*Having situational awareness means it is more likely I won’t ever need to use my handgun.
*My training and experience give me confidence that if I do need it, I will use it effectively and properly, though I will still pray to God to make me fast and accurate.
*It gives me the ability to deter those younger, stronger or more numerous than myself.
*It gives me the ability to defeat those younger, stronger or more numerous than myself if they are too stupid, too drugged, or too predatory to be deterred.
*Criminals fear the guns of armed citizens far more than the guns of the police. They should.
*Domestic terrorists and murderers have always been with us. The victims and survivors of Columbine High School (1999), Virginia Tech (2007), Sandy Hook Elementary School (2012), the Boston Marathon attack (2013), the Pulse Nightclub attacks (2016), the Las Vegas Attack (2017), the Sutherland Springs attack (2017) and the Parkland attack (2018)—and I–have no doubt of this.
*In virtually every school shooting in recent American history, the police played virtually no role in stopping the killers. In some (take this link and the next), Armed citizens did.
*We are at war with uniquely deranged, blood-thirsty terrorists determined to slaughter Americans on American soil. The citizens of Orlando, and many other American cities now have no doubt about this.
*Our borders, while somewhat less porous than in the past—to the disgust of D/S/Cs—remain far too open, and riding the wave of illegal immigrants are vicious gang members, drug cartels, violent felons, foreign spies and terrorists.
*Terrorists prefer to focus on where we are most vulnerable. It’s safer for them and easier.
*I frequent the places (schools, theaters, shopping malls, grocery stores and other soft targets) terrorists long to attack (go here for a fictional account of a school attack).
*I can imagine few feelings worse than being unarmed when and where a terrorist or mass shooter attack takes place.
*Even unarmed, I would have no option but to attack killers shooting innocents.
*Armed, I would be able to save at least some lives and stop at least some killers.
*I could not bear the thought that I could have saved lives, but was prevented by virtue signaling politicians and other self-righteous fools.
*It is important to me to know that I can make a real difference when it most matters.
*I appreciate well-designed and made devices.
*Firearms are like fire extinguishers. When one is needed, it’s needed right now, badly, and nothing else will do.
*The discipline of the gun helps to make me a better, more aware and more effective person.
*Thomas Jefferson was also right when, in 1785, he advised his 15 year-old nephew and ward:
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind.
This kind of wisdom is, in part, why some hate Jefferson and want to tear down his statues.
*Shooting and being a part of one of the oldest American traditions is uplifting and great fun.
*I recognize I am the weapon; the handgun is simply a tool.
*I will never surrender essential liberties without a fight; that’s what Americans do.
*Foremost, I am an American; I am a free man; it is my tradition and heritage.

I have had a little luck explaining to people that the bad guys aren’t total idiots, but they’re also not uniformly smart.
There ARE attempted mass murders in places where folks aren’t forcibly disarmed. They almost always stopped with three or fewer deaths, if you include the shooter.
Maybe someone should try to collect “spree shootings that ended in the shooter’s death” and go from there. It doesn’t remove all the noise, but it does select for different confounding factors.
…I’m 99% sure it would show roughly the same thing as looking at the “shootings with 4 or more dead, not including the shooter.”
Dear Foxfier:
Indeed. Truisms are valuable because they are true, and none more valuable than the fact that when a mass shooting begins, the only thing that will save lives is a good guy, then and there, with a gun, ready and able to effectively use it. Mass shooters choose gun free zones because they know there is little probability the police will be present, and they can be reasonable certain everyone will be unarmed.
Honestly, Mike.. some of that is really messed up. Seems like the evening news is getting to you.
I typically take it out directly to my TV… usually verbally…. and with some emphasis; often using harsh, and maybe offensive, rhetoric.
Doug,
Lighten up Francis!
That’s a fact, jack!
Master Troll Doug:
I continue to learn from you!
I see you use the “refute with no argument” tactic. Nothing
like a little abuse when you have nothing to say.
However, I believe we have been discovered and are
in danger of a deadly effective response. See the
link and contact you know who for new orders..

Your little trollop, Dug
I see where you get your preference for political sarcasm-as-an-attempt-to-condescend. That blog must feel at home to you. Hmm.. was that authored by you?
Dear Doug:
OK then. How, specifically, is anything I’ve asserted “messed up”? How is anything I’ve said wrong, anything I’ve presented as fact, inaccurate, where have I taken anything out of context? One example will do.
Well.. you have a long list of reasons for carrying a gun there, Mike. Any number give me pause. But, you wanna carry a gun to make sure the Supreme Court stays in line?? I rather thought you might need a bigger gun to go after Congress… assuming you wanted the option to take to task all three branches.
And.. uh… you want to kill people who are tearing down monuments.. or more to the point.. monuments you deem are worth killing for?
I dunno.. I tend to fear those that are self-appointed purveyors of some righteous interpretation they define as patriotism.. and needing a gun to back it up. You stand Mike (or anyone else) with his conceal & carry next to some homeless person laying in the gutter… I see little difference in the level of patriotism either can muster, nor the level of freedom each feels. It’s not your gun, or concealed gun, that determines patriotism. If anything it’s about exercising your right to vote… not how many rounds per minute you can get off to keep government in line… and/or display the threat that “they” better watch out, or else.
It’s apparent what ticks me off the most about Right Wing Conservatism is the prolific use of the word “patriotism” to define what they believe should occur in American politics.
[The “other” side is not patriotic because they don’t think like “us”… and their threats are real!] Sorry.. not my thing.
I have no issue with saying I wanna conceal & carry for some extra protection in the real world… and I’m an ex-cop with some left over “serve & protect” to help my fellow man in a time of need. I think that’s cool. The rest.. is just worrisome political posturing bordering on a power trip… with a gun for backup.
But it’s like you said… the Constitution doesn’t give us permission to have guns but rather it preserves our right to have them… and carry them… for any and all reasons under the sun. Therefore at the end of the day, it matters little what reasons you give, and certainly matters way far less what I might think of your reasons. But you asked.

*looks at the calendar*
*giggles*
Interesting timing for that complaint.
And that’s before the idea that a man can stand against a mob violently destroying property, livelihoods and oh yes actual black lives has you all a twitter, but not the mob itself.
Doug,
Mike asked for specific examples, not empty platitudes and your feelings. It’s his blog. Show some respect, and answer his question.
Sorry, dad.
By your behavior, you are conceding that you do not, in fact, have examples to offer.
I’m lost on the “examples” I’m suppose to supply given the discourse has covered a broad range of gripes in here. Refresh my memory, if you wish.
On the very slim chance that you are actually so incredibly stupid that you cannot figure out to scroll up slightly and see the question which you have repeatedly dodged– and that degree of painful, embarrassing mental defectiveness is the charitable option, as opposed to the list that starts with ‘you are a liar and fool who thinks himself wise’ — here is the question:
Dear Doug:

Perhaps you need to take a remedial scrolling class.. as I answered that “somewhere” in here.. with a couple examples.
No, you did not.
As you, yourself, admitted.
Which means you are, by your own claims, a liar. More importantly, you are a liar who as publicly shown that he is a liar, and thus are only worth speaking to in order to keep innocents from mistaking you for an honest person.
I retorted about one of Mike’s reasons to carry a gun was to make sure the Supreme Court stays in line.. and apparently his desire to carry a gun is just in case he needs to kill people wishing to tear down monuments. Both rather bizarre reasons to me.
You commented to it.
Interesting though… how the discussions have drifted from political content to personal spikes. You might want to go by example Mike presents here. Our individual politics run polar opposites given I am assuming he is also GOP like myself. Over the last year or so I have challenged him on a number of issues.. and when I’ve gotten frustrated as hell over his opinions I considered that reciprocal. I have no doubt he wanted to cut me outta here sometimes. We’ve even had some general exchanges about education given his experience. Yet in all that he has never gotten personal. I am guessing a lot of that is he might enjoy my “contrarian” meanderings giving his followers something to chew on to keep interest up… the proverbial “dog toy”. I’ve not minded that.. not for any “sport” of it all… but mostly my interactions in here and a couple other Conservative blogs is a personal interest in keeping up with alt-opinion.. and I do check out links provided, if for nothing else but to check get familiar with new sources of political discontent.
I’m no better than anyone else in here.. but I think the major political difference is I have little ax to grind… and most of you folks are just plain pissed, with no direction.
Have a respectable 4th as best you can… the mask is optional because we’d not want you to surrender any freedoms.

You commented to it.
Going with the Stupidity Defense, then?
You said, specifically, that they “gave you pause.”
That is neither wrong, an inaccurate fact, nor a thing out of context.
Interesting though… how the discussions have drifted from political content to personal spikes.
It cannot “drift” from where you placed it, in your initial comment.
Yeah.. whatever.. “stupidity defense” if that helps. You can have the last word.
I believe that as much as I believe the sincerity of anything else you have posted.
To spell it out: not at all.
Or perhaps that is your honest answer, that you cannot give an example because everything that Mike said is factually correct, and your only objection is emotional. So ultimately you’re only coming here to rant, and because you get some responses. Maybe even more of a response than you get at your own blog?
Actually, had you been paying attention in class, most my interactions in here have been a challenge to some level of morality to a particular opinion regarding the human side to a lot of this… and the level of REAL issues confronting the nation that require a bit of unity to rectify. Not for me to judge another’s spiritual morality… God knows what God knows. But I certainly can assign a measure of human morality toward an opinion… which we all know in here, has no bearing anyway.
The people on this blog are all “at war”, fairly literally I might add.. with Liberals… yet I don’t find the inverse all that prevalent, albeit in here no one would agree. Trumpian Conservatives feel oppressed and victimized… and threatened regardless.
But Leonard’s election history lesson in another response illustrates you folks are going to need to support each other for the election disappointment. I shouldn’t be the focus of your rage toward the end here.
Dear Doug:
No one reading here, let alone me, wishes to be at war with anyone. We simply wish to be left alone, unmolested by those that would overturn the constitutional order. Should they be foolish enough to provoke a second civil war, it will be their provocations that force Normal Americans to defend the Constitution. I write about such things in the hope a hot was can be prevented. It is not Normal American that have as part of their daily rhetoric “resistance” and “rebellion.”
Are you actually implying that the left is more moral? The ones that burn churches and kill innocent babies? The ones whose official policies trap the poor in failing, crime-ridden cities and schools, all with the goal of keeping them dependent and therefore voting democrat? The ones who are pushing the division of America through identity politics, specifically rejecting the goals of MLK?
The left’s goal is a socialist utopia, a heaven on earth. They explicitly reject any higher power, other than themselves, or their weird climate cult. It’s what allowed the worst crimes against humanity ever committed to occur in the 20th century under the godless commie regimes.
And given your silence, I assume I was right in that you get more responses from Mike’s blog than your own. And yet you admit that you are not going to change your mind, and you know that you won’t change any other minds here either. Pathetic.
Gawd, Phil… and you tell me to “Ease up, Francis.”.
There’s certainly enough moral outrage for everyone, regardless of political leanings… as I see it anyway.
And while every one of us who blog has some measure of an ego.. (and “ego” is not a bad thing.. in moderation) I have no desire to measure and compare what size ego I may or may not have by the number of respondents/followers/devotees on my blog vs another’s blog… and the size of their ego.
It’s not uncommon for blogs with Conservative political themes to garner more readership interest than Liberal themes given the Conservative message is louder and their guttural rants attract more Conservative community support; birds of a feather thing. Nothing wrong with that.. just a different interest in exercising freedom of speech.
Personally I prefer blogs with diverse opinion.. I mean.. I have little interest in a blog where everyone patronizes me with “Great post!”. If all I wanted were to satisfy some Walter Mitty persona that enjoys being idolized in cyberspace by large numbers of followers I’d set up a site with graphics of American flags, the Constitution… swords, guns, images of the Founding Fathers… flying eagles… and proclaim to the world how America is going down the tubes by Liberals.
Not my thing.. nor is it reflective of my interpretation of Republicanism.
Doug, you’re a perfect leftist, trying to hijack something that someone else built (Mike’s blog), and that you failed at building, for your own purposes.
Mike, just wondering how your carry permit transferred over during your recent move. Was there reciprocity and was it an easy transition?
Dear Marty:
Interesting question. Wyoming is a constitutional carry state, so I actually need no government authorization to carry. However, in order to take advantage of reciprocity with surrounding–and other–states, I do. I was somewhat dismayed to discover, however, one must wait six months after taking residency to apply for a permit. In the meantime, my Texas license is valid, and Texas has reciprocity with Wyoming. I was able to immediately get plates and a driver’s license, and various utilities believe I’m a resident and are glad to take my money, but we have to wait six months. Because Mrs. Manor and I are also NRA certified instructors, we probably won’t have to take the course we would teach…
