Recent events have reminded me as a son, a father, and a grandfather, to cherish the traditions of family and friendship and love.\u00a0 God knows, recent tragedy has reminded us all of that\u2026<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thoughts and prayers go to those whose loved ones cannot be with them on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Spend as much time as you can with your loved ones.\u00a0 We in the firearms world, caught up \u2013 more, of late, than ever \u2013 in one of the most contentious debates in our nation, must balance civil rights, logic, and above all the critical need to keep the innocent safe from evil. History shows us that those who know what they\u2019re fighting for are the most effective advocates.\u00a0 Let\u2019s take this time to remind ourselves of the most important people in our lives. They are our raisons d\u2019etre. <\/i>It is they for whom we fight.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Christmas is a time to reflect upon our values. A time to think about doing The Right Thing, even in the face of the most terrible threats.\u00a0 Christmas is a tradition, and nothing gets to be a tradition until it proves itself to be solid enough a foundation to uphold the future.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Enjoy a holiday of peace and of love.\u00a0 Like all of the Backwoods Home <\/i>team, I wish you a Merry Christmas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
