I like our gun laws as well.
I like my .40 S&W Compact.
I like my carry permit.
I like my old boxes of Black Talons.
I like some other toys I have access to now and then as a benefit of retirement and being called out on occasion for duty.

Well I am finally home from my crazy adventure in Seattle and Alaska. Alaska is such a beautiful place. I drove down to Seward and took a 3-hour day cruise wildlife tour through Resurrection Bay, and got to see all different kinds of birds, otters, sea lions, and even two whales!

You should do MANY trips to Alaska. There's so much to see and do and it's a year round destination.

That was memorable for the bear and her cubs sitting on the trail enjoying berries. Hiking back up was the prudent option until we saw then on the glacier.
We also went to the Alaska State Fair. Not much bigger than a county fair, I saw my first Dr Pepper vending machine! (A highlight for me.)
We also were passing a small booth with an older gentleman who I noticed was on the cover of the magazines he held. He was Norman Vaughan, the last surviving member of the first Byrd Antarctic Expedition in 1928. We spent the afternoon chatting with him. Fascinating!
Alaska is pretty cool

He came and talked to my 9th grade geography class. Wow, I'd forgotten about that.
