It all started in FL (doesn't it always start in FL?). A group of dog lovers is working to get the entire country to recognize March 13 as K9 Veterans Day. The group hopes for the national recognition of all the dogs, of all our wars, including those serving as Customs Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs, Border Patrol Dogs, Police Dogs, and Secret Service Dogs. Secret Service dogs are those canine who wear dark glasses and an ear piece. No mention if gun dogs or hunting will be admitted.

Since before the election, the economy has been in the dumpster. Cars, houses, and other larger consumer goods are collecting dust on retailers’ floors while some of us collect unemployment checks. The one bright spot is gun sales, and we have President Obama to thank. Since Obama has a history of consistently voting against individual rights to firearms—I’m having a Clinton flashback—the shooting public has been snapping up firearms at unprecedented levels. We can't afford to replace that old jalopy in the driveway but we sure do need a new, $1,200.00 black rifle. Buyers are not just hunters, collectors and target shooters, but folks who never have owned a gun before. Most want to get a gun while they still can. The statistic is this: Since November there has been a 42% increase in background checks.
