"Unfortunately sir, they haven't done much to build those communities. What little they have has been given through government handouts for generations. When you don't work for something, you generally don't put much value on it. "
"Very well said Sonny." Paul replied.
"Thank you sir, I'll let you get to work, booking that flight." Sonny ended.
Paul said "I talk to you tomorrow. Maybe it will be a better day."
CHAPTER 12
"But you are a shieldaround me, O LORD; you bestow glory on me and liftup my head.To the LORD I cry aloud,and he answers me from his holy hill.I lie down and sleep;I wake again,because the LORD sustains me. I will not fearthe tens of thousands drawn up against me on every side."
Psalm 3:3-6
"I’m pulling in my driveway now." Jack said to Matt over the phone. "I ‘m going to get Tina and bring her over so you can show both of us how to work this thing. I think that it’s better than me trying to repeat what you show me."
"Good call." Matt said. "See you in a bit."
Jack knocked at the door, but Matt still went out the side as a precaution. It was overly precautious, but if ever there were a time to be on your toes, this was it.
"Is your front door opening OK?" Jack quizzed.
"Yes, but the way the peephole is situated, I can't get a very good view of my surroundings before I open it. I feel better going out the side and having the gate as an extra obstacle." he explained.
"That’s clever thinking. I guess I don't think like that. I probably need to start training myself to be more cautious like you." Jack said very thoughtfully.
Jack and Tina came in. Tina and Karen went to start some tea in the kitchen. They chatted about the events that were unfolding in the neighborhood and around the country.
"So we have a gun now." Tina exclaimed. "I guess we are buying another one whenever the legal thing goes through. I don't like guns at all. They scare me, but I don't know what to think about what’s going on. Don't guns scare you?"
"Not unless it’s pointed at me. My gun actually makes me feel quite comforted, especially today." Karen replied.
"Have you shot it?" Tina asked.
"Yes, we go to the range once in a while, but the range is pretty strict. Matt's cousin has a farm in Kentucky. When we go there we shoot a lot." Karen replied.
"So would you say you are good at it?" Tina said with a bit of surprise.
"I can hit a soda can at 25 yards with a pistol. People are a lot bigger than soda cans so, I guess I am good enough.” Karen said confidently as they poured the tea and walked back in where the guys were.
Matt was checking out the shotgun as Jack looked over the instructions.
"You paid more than you wanted, but you have the Cadillac of shotguns." Matt complimented. The Benelli Vinci had a camo finish with a tactical pistol grip full stock. This made it look that much more intimidating.
The girls sat down and Matt explained the basic operation of the gun. He had Jack pull the trigger on the empty chamber several times to feel where the slack ended on the trigger before it actually released the firing pin. He demonstrated the proper stance and went over basic safety rules such as never, ever letting the barrel of a gun point at a person you don't intend to shoot if necessary. Jack picked it all up pretty quick.
Next, Matt started working with Tina. He had to remind her not to point it at people a few times as she kept inadvertently letting the barrel drop down to his stomach or leg. Finally, he got her to be somewhat comfortable with aiming the gun.
After the quick lesson, Matt brought out a box of #2 steel buck shot shells. "#2 shot is a good middle of the road shot. It is big enough to do some damage but there are enough pellets in there to give you a decent pattern. If you shoot someone at close range in the house with these, they are going to be splattered all over the walls and
