As you all know by now...

...I've gone country. But the evolution is not complete...yet. Since I've been up here I have acquired 3 new long guns. I think this justifies the next step in my "countrification" (new word?) I'm talkin' about a wall mounted gun rack.

I have always wanted that but living in the city it just wasn't "appropriate", at least that is what Miss Pam said (over and over). But now that we live in the country that old dog don't hunt.

If we didn't have that big tv above the fire place I'd put it there. But there are 2 good spots for me to put it. The one I like best for esoteric reasons is on a short wall wall in the living room above the desk my grand father built 72 years ago and I recently refinished.

But the most useful and tactically appropriate place it the wall in the utility room right by the back door.

Decisionsdecisionsdecisions!

Anyway it is on order and 2-weeks out. I guess I'll spent that time trying to imagine more ways to get "countrier". (another new word )

Umbrella bin by the door obviously.

One by the door and the rest over the desk.

If you're really going country, you gotta put your appliances on the back porch.

Above grand dads desk.
BTW
Ernest Tubb never said "esoteric".

I'm workin' on that...

If you've got two good spots then...use them...mount both. That way you get more guns!

DUH!

That is a good idea!! The shot gun would be by the back door and the two .22s above the desk. Hmmmm. Lemme chew on that a while.

You'll know you've really gone country when there is one behind the front door, one behind the back door, one under the bed.

DUH!

And yet another good idea! I like the way you guys think.

Our bed sits on an under-the-bed dresser. So noithing under the bed. Especially any of the cats. You ever try to get 3 cats out from under a bed?

The bedroom is Is well covered though. There is Glock 10mm and a Ruger .357mag in the night stand.

Back porch??? Who told you that?? Everyone knows a respectable country boy keeps them on the front porch.

You forgot the truck.

I believe that would vary with the situation. For me if something is coming for me it will be coming from the woods behind the house. What ever is coming with either have 2 legs, 4 legs...or no legs. I'm prepared in any event: 4 buck, 00 buck, or slugs.

No shot out the front. The potential for collateral damage is a big factor there. Still there's always something handy should the stuff hit the fan.

You forgot the truck.

Ahhh! I was afraid that would come up. Well, to my shame, I do not own a truck. For the first time since 1967 I do not have a truck. I been tryin' to live it down but I may have to just buy some old beater and park it in front of the house....and it will have a gun rack in the back window.

I thought the ones that still work go on the back porch, and the ones that no longer work go on the front porch, along with a car with no front doors on cinder blocks in the side yard.
The theory is that any porch pirates coming by grab and run with the front porch stuff.

POINT! But I must point out that it is 1/4 mile from my front porch to the highway. Only private roads on the compound. Not a good area for porch pirates. they would have a hard time getting out of range in time.

Guess it doesn't have to be truck. My wife is looking at buying a Subaru. I told her I would put a gun rack in it just so people know she isn't married to a hippie. .

Where are the junk cars, trucks and who knows what else. I can look at a photo taken from the air and tell you which Clan lives there. The .......... Family parks their junk in the rear of the house, and the other one parks their junk in the front.

I'm not making this up.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Credit where it's due. I did modify the joke of the late great Robin Williams.
