Actress Kelly McGillis (Top Gun, Witness) will be applying for concealed carry permit

[ximmy]

'Top Gun' actress Kelly McGillis left 'scratched and bruised' after home invasion
McGillis wrote that the intruder ran after her and "began punching and scratching [me] trying to grab the phone out of my hand. I began screaming as loud as I could hoping someone somewhere might hear me."
It was a Friday night so not many people were around, McGillis explained. She managed to set off her car alarm since she had her car keys in hand. "More fighting ensued."
McGillis ran to her truck and drove off. She eventually flagged down another driver who called 911 for her.

I thank you all for your warm thoughts and love. I'm still a bit shook up and struggling with some residual fear. I do have an alarm. I was complacent and didn't set it after living here four years and having nothing happen. My bad. She broke my in the garage window and called through by stacking 10 bags of mulch. She threw dog food all
over the kitchen floor to distract the dogs. I have three. Honestly they seemed really freaked out by the whole thing. I have decided to get a conceal and carry permit. And you can be sure I will be setting the alarm from here on out

What if the late great Charlton Heston said it, then would you care?
"The black and Hispanic women who clean office buildings until 3 a.m. and then walk home — of course, they want a handgun in their purse." ~Heston

Of course. Heston was the head of the NRA and as such, has much more credibility than your garden variety actor/actress who reacts to an incident (she's so brave)

Heston was another tool.

He would not have been a celebrity if he wasn't owned.

You sure about that?

"In late years, Heston drew as much publicity for his crusades as for his performances. In addition to his NRA work, he campaigned for Republican presidential and congressional candidates and against affirmative action.

He resigned from Actors Equity, claiming the union's refusal to allow a white actor to play a Eurasian role in "Miss Saigon" was "obscenely racist." He attacked CNN's telecasts from Baghdad as "sowing doubts" about the allied effort in the 1990-91 Gulf War.
At a Time Warner stockholders meeting, he castigated the company for releasing an Ice-T album that purportedly encouraged cop killing.
Heston wrote in "In the Arena" that he was proud of what he did "though now I'll surely never be offered another film by Warners, nor get a good review in Time. On the other hand, I doubt I'll get a traffic ticket very soon."

Facts are a tough thing to deal with. They can often kill an argument in an instant.


Thanks for posting that X

I can also appreciate and respect your position too. I feel a certain way according to my beliefs but also know there are other viewpoints and try to listen to those and consider them

Yeah, Chuck Heston was instrumental in getting GCA '68 passed including his 'celeb' testimony before CONgress, yet somehow he's highly regarded when he holds a muzzleloader up over his head proclaiming, "From my cold, dead hands!" lol

You had to go back pretty far back for that one. Tell me, have you learned anything about life since your youth? I'll bet Heston did

[midnight rambler]

Fuck that traitorous POS! Are you a fucking Heston apologist? WTF are you talking about Heston making poor judgment due to his 'youth'?? Heston was 45 years old when he assisted with the '68 gungrab! The fucker couldn't even manage to pose with a semi-auto, had to pretend to have a serious stance holding a fucking muzzleloader?? Definitely no real change of heart there. Piss on him.

Well alrighty then!!! We don't share the same opinion in his case but that's OK. The world's not going to end because we disagree

Charlton Heston gun quotes:

"There are no 'good guns.' There are no 'bad guns.' Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody, except bad people."

"Teddy Roosevelt hunted in the last century with a semiautomatic rifle. Most deer rifles are semiautomatic . . . it's become a demonized phrase. The media distorts that and the public ill understands it."



"The First Amendment is crucial. Of course it is. So are all the others. And the Second Amendment is the one that guarantees that people can bear arms to protect themselves."

"As smoke from burning buildings smudged the skyline and the TV news showed vivid images of laughing looters smashing windows and carting off boomboxes and booze, I got a few phone calls from firmly anti-gun friends in clear conflict. 'Umm, Chuck, you have quite a few . . . ah, guns, don't you?'" LA Riots


"You do not define the First Amendment. It defines you. And it is bigger than you. That's how freedom works . . . For too long, you have swallowed manufactured statistics and fabricated technical support from anti-gun organizations that wouldn't know a semi-auto from a sharp stick. And it shows. You fall for it every time."



"The Second Amendment is America's first freedom."

"It's hard for me to accept that a guy says, 'I'm going to kill that s.o.b., but, darn, I have this five-day waiting period.' He probably still wants to kill him after five days."

"It's the camel's nose in the tent. Look at Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Idi Amin — every one of these monsters, on seizing power, their first act was to confiscate all firearms in private hands."

It is very clear to me that he was trying to take away our guns... (insert rolley eyes here)

Heston's LEGACY is GCA '68, something he never showed regret or remorse for. Fuck him.

Heston's Political activism




Heston's political activism had four stages.[46] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Heston#cite_note-46)

In the first stage, 1955–61, he endorsed Democratic candidates for President, and signed on to petitions and liberal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_liberalism) political causes.

From 1961-72, the second stage, he continued to endorse Democratic candidates for President. From 1965-71, he served as the elected president of the Screen Actors Guild, and clashed with his liberal rival Ed Asner. Moving beyond Hollywood, he became nationally visible in 1963 in support of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964). In 1968, he used his "cowboy" persona to publicize gun control (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control) measures.[citation needed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]


The third stage began in 1972. Like many neoconservatives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoconservative) of the same era who moved from liberal Democrat to conservative Republican (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Party_%28United_States%29), he rejected the liberalism of George McGovern (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_McGovern) and supported Richard Nixon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Nixon) in 1972 for President. In the 1980s, he gave strong support to Ronald Reagan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Reagan) during his conservative (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_conservatism) presidency.

In 1995, Heston entered his fourth stage by establishing his own political action fund-raising committee, and jumped into the internal politics of the National Rifle Association (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Rifle_Association). He gave numerous culture wars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_war) speeches and interviews upholding the conservative position, blaming media and academia for imposing affirmative action (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirmative_action), which he saw as unfair reverse discrimination (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_discrimination).[47] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlton_Heston#cite_note-47)

this is just EPIC... gun control will never work out
------------------------------

‘There are now more non-military government employees who carry guns than there are U.S. Marines, according to a new report.

Open the Books, a taxpayer watchdog group, released a study Wednesday that finds domestic government agencies continue to grow their stockpiles of military-style weapons, as Democrats sat on the House floor calling for more restrictions on what guns American citizens can buy.

The “Militarization of America” report found civilian agencies spent $1.48 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment between 2006 and 2014. Examples include IRS agents with AR-15s, and EPA bureaucrats wearing camouflage.’
