Chimera Kennels

Thought this was interesting after a previous discussion regarding guns and their removal from your possession and/or home.

I guess you could say it was truly the worst of times and Tuesday, August 30, 2005 is a date I will never forget. That date may not mean anything to you, but for those of us on the Gulf Coast we’ll never forget it since it was the day after Katrina hit. It was also the day my home just outside of New Orleans was looted by a gang of thugs taking advantage of a state of virtual lawlessness.

In the period after Katrina hit, many homes were abandoned and the few homeowners who remained were rendered defenseless when state law enforcement descended upon our neighborhoods removing as many firearms as possible.

“My Neighborhood Was Safe Until They Took Our Guns Away!”

"First the cops arrived and took all their weapons, then the gangs arrived and stole everything else that wasn’t chained down."

They said that they were confiscating every privately owned firearm so that there wouldn’t be criminals taking advantage of the crisis. Of course, like all government policies, this one was ass-backwards. They should have recruited all the military vets like myself and a few of my neighbors, armed us to the teeth, and said, “Shoot any rioters on sight”.

But they didn’t. Instead they went door to door searching for firearms and disarming any families who had guns. My neighbors and I were prepared, or so we thought, for anything. But one of my friends up the street (a former Marine) wasn’t prepared when an arrogant local cop demanded the .45 he had holstered on his hip. The fact that he had a carry permit, was in his own home, and served his country in combat for over two decades, mattered little.

That Cocky Young Cop Grinned At Him As He Handed His Gun Over.

Of course, it was much worse for most other folks. First the cops arrived and took all their weapons, and then the gangs arrived and stole everything else that wasn’t chained down. Basically we were all living in a state of anxious fear. And even though I had a backup plan, I could have never planned for what happened next.

You see, one afternoon while my wife and kids were gone (handing out food at our church), I received a knock at the door. When I opened the door a crack to see who was there, my whole world turned upside down. Suddenly the door came crashing in on me as the security chain snapped like it was plastic.

Glad I wasn't in that situation, might not have ended well. Trampling constitutional rights has got to end. They have passed some laws to prevent this from happening again, we,ll see.

We certainly need to get back to the constitution and the the ammendments/Bill of Rights that are supposed to be GUARANTEED, PROTECTED, and UPHELD for and by American citizens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to be careful about who we elect to represent us.

America seems to be losing its way. I hope things make a change for the better in a safe and elected way. I hope that the elected officials take the constitution carefully. I wish the REASON for the constitution was POUNDED in the heads of American citizens when they were in school point blank as so many people don't know anything about our rights and WHY we have them. People take things for granted way too often. This also includes not just officials and citizens, but also the military and police...

Too often we see abuse of powers and positions...double standards. We certainly need to be awakened, and hopefully this can occur through peaceful education.

That is very sad,  personaly, i would of laughed in the officers face and gave him the finger then slam the doar, who knows where it would of led after that, probaly wouldnt be very pleasant for him or me....... maybe i should go knock a hole in my wall and hide some of my guns in there, boar the wall back up, mud it, paint it, and keep it there incase something like that ever goes down, dont want to sound like a punk or anything, maybe im coming off as one, but thats serisouly serisouly messed up........ The Second Amendment  is our homeland security....

I also would like to add, i dont have problems with law enforcement, i wish my town had more! but i live in a pretty small town, its just that some of the laws that are enforced are unlogical imo.....
