I would never have guessed as a 17 year SAL member of the Bath American Legion post 412 that I would be ashamed to be a member. Last month a friend OCed into their post as my guest. Within a week a no firearms sign was posted.
:banghead: So folks who swore to uphold and defend our Constitution are now violating it. :banghead:
Apparently the Post held a meeting where one of the board members (A retired Lansing LEO btw) proposed banning firearms. There was only one nay vote (At least that officer took his oath seriously) and the motion passed.
:banghead: So a retarded former enforcer of the law can't stay retired and insisted on imposing control over everyone else. :cuss: How much you want to bet he CC's while attending the post? :cuss: and :banghead:
I could understand if this was a Moose lodge or the Masons, but a patriotic/veterans fraternal organization, the thought makes me sick to my stomach.
I'm close to retching just reading about it.
Every one of these post officers took an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States, yet the first chance they get to stand up for it they blink and infringe upon it.
Here are some synonyms which may better describe any group of folks who swore an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same" yet become a turncoat to the very same Constitution they swore to defend.
dizzy, addled, addlepated, bedeviled, befogged, befuddled, bemused, bewildered, bushed [chiefly Australian], confounded, confused, dazed, distracted, dopey (also dopy), fogged, mixed-up, muddleheaded, muzzy, pixilated (also pixillated), punch-drunk, punchy, raddled, shell-shocked, silly, slaphappy, spaced-out (or spaced), spacey (also spacy), stunned, stupefied, zonked, zonked-out

Their reason is not that the person carrying the gun is unsafe, but that someone may jump them and take their gun. Yes really, that was what their fear is.
:banghead: No doubt coached by the retarded, er, excuse me, "retired" Lansing LEO. :banghead:
Retention holster anyone?
No kidding! How about a bucket of common sense for that VFW to go along with it? Apparently they're entirely addle.
I can not support such a post and no person that understands what is as stake can. I will not be renewing my membership and will never step foot in that post until the policy changes.
I support your move 100%. Four friends of mine bought the farm supporting and dending our Constitution. It would be a huge disgrace to my friends and their families, doubly so to myself, If I were to support a VFW which refused to support our Constitution.
As a veteran of foreign wars, I was thinking of joining my local VFW, Post 9669, Rustic Hills Bicentennial Post. Before I do, however, I'd first have to see whether or not they're pro-Constitutional or anti-Constitutional. If the latter, I wouldn't give them a single penny, much less a second of my time, and would actively campaign against anyone joining them.
Let's hope they took their oaths of office seriously.
