Nelson

As reported on wsbtv.com, the city of Nelson, Georgia could soon have a law that requires all homeowners to have a gun. Reportedly the reason they need the law is that the city straddles Cherokee County to the south and Pickens County to the north. With only one officer that patrols the city during the day, there are 16 hours when response comes from one of the counties sheriff’s department.

The law is simple, "Every head of household will own and maintain a firearm." There are exceptions like not being physically able to handle a gun or having mental limitations.

"It’s a deterrent ordinance," says city councilman, Duane Cronic. "It tells the potential intruder, you better think twice," he said. The vote on the ordinance is expected in April.

I think Sweden still requires people to own guns and know how to use them. The tricky part is know how to use them. There are lots of gun types and contrary to the VP, shooting a shotgun up into the air is not exactly correct. It would scare the neighbors and all the birds.

I believe that we have now reached the point in our history, that owning a gun may mean the difference between life and death. The second worse thing I can think of is having to shoot someone. The first is having someone shoot me or my family.

I guess it’s a moot point anyway. It’s all but impossible to buy ammunition these days.  For those that don’t know, a gun without bullets is worthless.

I did say, you must know how to use a gun or you don't need one.
