An Open Carry Christmas

As I promised, I am bringing over material from the old site as I have time.

This was a poem that I had written for the Defender for Christmas 2004 entitled ...

An Open Carry Christmas

I finished all my shopping
For Christmas gifts today
And I open carried
All along the way.

I saw old Friends and neighbors
And it was really fun
And not a single person
Was frightened by my gun

For I have open carried
In rain and in snow
For many, many years
And this they all know.

They have been educated
And some have been enlightened
And this will prevent them
From having to be frightened.

I’d like to think that somewhere
Santa’s sack’s a little bigger
Because some lucky person
Has a gift with a trigger

And all across America
Handgun sales were bolstered
Because our friends and neighbors
Saw one safely holstered

good to know, i was thinking about getting a XD9 to save the wear on my 1911, and something a little more accurate than the 3.5 inch barrel i have on the 1911, plus the 9 is a lot cheaper to shoot. good luck.



and to whoever wrote the poem, thank you.
