@harveyspistols @ShadowSysUSA I like that tiger stripe!

[Harvey's Pistol & Pawn @harveyspistols]

Rascal is still out there and radios in when he can, or when he decides to, rather 😉. This week he thought a handy @ShadowSysUSA in tiger stripe my do the trick. Sometimes you have to wander back into town to resupply camp and you don't always need a big bore. Thanks, as always, to @SummRidge for helping foot the bill for this week's piece!

As always FOLLOW US & @SummRidge , REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY to this post to enter.

I wish each and everyone of you the best of luck and thank you all for helping us spread the word of our small family business!

We could—and should—pass the SAVE America Act

It’d require the Senate to put the bill on the floor and debate it until it passes

This is an unusual approach requiring a significant investment of time and effort

But saving America is worth it

I’m not going to stop saying that

@msdawgs08 I would think absolutely. Why not?

Rascal’s been on the road, and this week he’s found a patriot who knows exactly what kind of American she is.

Last week we asked, “What kind of American are you?” This week, Harvey’s Famous Weekly Giveaway proudly spotlights @Lily4Liberty . She survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution in communist China and now travels America warning about the dangers of communism and tyranny while championing our God‑given freedoms. Now she is running in the Live Free Or Die state to represent these liberties and the traditional American heritage in congress!

Given Lily's experience with communism and tyrannical governments, she’s vowed never again to live under a government that fears armed citizens more than criminals, and she has built her campaign around an unapologetic defense of the right to keep and bear arms. She supports national constitutional carry and rolling back federal gun-control laws that target law‑abiding gun owners.

Rascal was inspired and decided on a liberty & New Hampshire themed giveaway. He wants to arm YET ANOTHER freedom loving and freedom defending American while also bringing attention to the campaign of the fellow freedom lover.

So this weeks firearm is a New Hampshire made Sig Sauer Tread Coil V2 rifle with optic in 5.56!

We celebrate the kind of American who knows that “Live Free or Die” isn’t a mere slogan, it’s a warning for would‑be tyrants, foreign or domestic.

Thank you AGAIN for the support of @SummRidge who helps make these giveaways possible. TO ENTER please FOLLOW us and @SummRidge , REPOST or QUOTE POST, and REPLY to this post. PLEASE CONSIDER GIVING TO LILY'S CAMPAIGN. She is true defender of the 2nd amendment and her campaign is very grassroots. See link below.

GOOD LUCK & GODSPEED!

@harveyspistols @Lily4Liberty She sounds like my kind of patriot!

[Mark Patterson @mpatterson820]

@robbiefaulk1878 True, but sadly very typical of ESPN.

[Mark Patterson @mpatterson820]

@thehungrymangum This is a true statement!

[Mark Patterson @mpatterson820]

@mikejarrell @ScoutSteveR I thought it was too!

[Mark Patterson @mpatterson820]

@redbeard_rouse @Jordan_Bianchi Thanks. It dawned on me after I asked that question, that the NASCAR HOF was founded later. Thanks for confirming.

Barbara Walters writes:
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less
