Be Healthy, Walk Your Gun 3 Times a Week

I really liked the article about what the Founding Fathers would do as mentioned here. Another great part of the article were some quotes by Thomas Jefferson writing in a letter of advice to a younger relative and encouraging him to take walks with a gun. “While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with a ball … are too violent for the body, and stamp no character on the mind.” “Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks.”

As Virginia has a wonderful open carry law, I might just have to exercise Jefferson’s advice and walk my gun up and down the streets of Virginia in memoriam. God bless Jefferson and the Second Amendment.
