Minus FIREARMS ARE WELCOME. And why lead with that of all things?

Everything else in the post applies to my home. But your firearms are NOT welcome - that's one of the reasons my home is a safe space for everyone.

No one enters our home with a firearm

Someone added that to the older one.

The rest is a justification of why the first part doesn't make him a gun toting jerk although citing "an old school value" makes me wonder.

I'm hoping at least one friend copies this.

There are hundreds of these chain-letter posts on FB. Some say "I'll bet this post about a wounded soldier won't get even one like or share!" Or, "I'll know who my REAL friends are by who shares this!"

Your friend didn't write this and probably only skimmed it before posting. The word stupid comes to mind.

Exactly.

When I see that crap from relatives or friends I just ignore it. It’s too stupid to even comment on.

My first thought!

People and the GD guns. As if we walk around in the wild wild west.

make it a law that no one could wear guns while they were there? Especially in the saloons?

Suggesting that the "old school" virtues are based on Family, Guns, and God, and snowflake Modern City Folks who don't like Guns are selfish idiot heathens who will learn the hard way how wise the old ways really were.

Totally ignoring that most families during the pre-Andy Griffith period may have only had one firearm around the house to take care of varmints - a shotgun, and only that if they lived in the country. If there were multiple guns around the house, it was usually due to a male relative who had gone off to War and managed to smuggle his rifle or revolver back afterwards.

Most people before the NRA started getting into GOP politics and started spreading FUD didn't have to create a "Safe Zone" in their homes - unless they were living overseas in a War Zone and were part of the resistance, or were involved in Gang warfare and needed a base to operate from.

I've not heard usage of the terms "safe house" or "safe zone" amongst regular citizens outside of movies until the 2000's with the rise of the Rapturists and NRA/KKK crossover nuts.

Haele

nonsense and is nonjudgmental. Hmmm let me show up with anti-trump shirt or pin. Add in so alcholol with all her gun toting friends...I might be looking down the nose of a revolver.

My experience is that most gun toting, gun promoters, are the type who vote for trump. "Old school value" is another tip off.

I'm sure there are exceptions, but not many.

stopping off for a shot and some BS-ing between Target or WalMart and "the old ball and chain at home" or the job - probably not.

Been in on one accidental firing that could have been avoided several simple different ways and at a kitchen table with three out of four guys who all knew better. No one got hurt. But a .357 round did find its way through our ceiling and the Maple floor of the surprised neighbor upstairs. Came through not a whole lot more than a foot from his face laying on the couch watching a game one Saturday. Nothing stronger than coffee on the table this once.

A weapon may get into my house now. But if you're not a cop, its going to be unloaded.

Statistics show that doesn’t make it a safe zone.

Similar attitudes in northern NY, VT, PA, MI, MN, ND, MT, ID, WA, anything along the Canadian border wall.

Plenty of whisky, plenty of deer hunting.

Be safest.

Hell, I don't share hardly anything. Usually it is some sappy bullshit about shit I don't care about.

And if somebody doesn't think I'm a friend unless I publish and push their bullshit, well there you go.
