Have I told you guys how much I really really hate travelling? My wife makes me go on these trips with her. Luckily I was able to convince her to go on some trips with her friends so I don't have to go.
The only one I enjoyed was our trip to London. That was really cool. She even went shopping at Harrods and all the nice stores around there.

Oh, we went there. I loved the Arms room. Lots of weapons and armor. We also went to Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace, saw the Horse Guards, took a cruise in the Thames, saw Stonehenge and many other things.
Stonehenge was much smaller than I thought.

--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.”
