What Red Blooded American Catholic Would Not Like this Blog Name

That is the Gun Lovin' Alaskan Catholic Club. Speaking on that topic do they there is a cause to make this Saint the Patron Saint of Handgunners? Go visit the St. Gabriel Possenti Society.

I would love to got to Alaska one day. I have been a big fan of Ice Road Truckers on the history channel. Even though where they are traveling there is not much scenery to look at during the winter.

I am generally pretty pro NRA. Even though my father thinks I am heretic because I might differ with them on a couple of specific issues..

It is ironic but often the gun laws that people tout are really counter productive. Some of these laws are ones that many think are great ideas. In Louisiana we have a crime called Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. The problem is that it takes all discretion out of the judge's hands. It was a 10 to 15 year sentence for goodness sake. Please!!!!!!!.

When I was a prosecutor I took a very real world view point of gun related crimes. I was tough at times but sane If merited. I would often reduce these to attempted Possession so something lesser so I could get them a probated sentence. Many of these guys were not harden criminals and where they lived they needed a gun to protect their family.

In Louisiana it is quite legal to carry a gun in your car. Some guys gets pulled over with a joint in the car and people want to impound and destroy the firearm. If it was cheap thing I would go along. But often I would get the gun back to them if it was anything worth a lot.
