Scott Garcia+FollowThe police took 20 minutes to arrive. The intruder broke my door in 20 seconds.Someone tried to kick in my front door last night. I called 911 and waited in terror. Do you know what 20 minutes feels like? It feels like eternity. If I didn't have my gun, my family's fate would have been entirely in the criminal's hands. People who say "you don't need a gun, just call the police" have never faced that desperation at 2 AM. This is why I support 2A. #2ndAmendment #SelfDefense #PoliceResponse #GunRights #HomeInvasion00Share
Brent Nelson+FollowThis Isn't About Food. This is About the 2nd Amendment.The media is all focused on SNAP and National Parks. They aren't talking about NICS—the National Instant Criminal Background Check System. NICS is run by the FBI. The FBI is shut down. I have 15 firearm sales pending in my shop. The customers have paid, but the FBI's system can't give me a "Proceed" or "Deny." By law, if I don't hear back in three days, I can legally release the firearm at my discretion. Guess what? I'm not doing it. If I release a gun to the wrong person, my license is gone. If I don't release it, my customers—all law-abiding—are threatening to sue me for violating their 2A rights. The shutdown has turned my business into a legal minefield. #2ndAmendment #NICS #Shutdown127101Share
