Calling in... Gun Day?

Okay, so today is supposed to be "Call in Gay Day", the theory being that if all the homosexual people across the country called in sick on the same day, we'd realize just how indispensible they are to the economy, nay, the very fabric of our great nation. Uh, whatev. Maybe next time plan your sick-out for a time when the economy's not in freefall and people aren't losing their jobs and their savings en masse...

Civil disobediance. UR doing it rong.

It did get me to thinking, though... If, as statistics claim, 1 out of every 10 people is gay or bisexual, that's 1/10th of the workforce that could theoretically be out of work. Now, there's some 80 million gun owners out there. Imagine if all of them called in sick to work on one day.

Call In Gunnie Day.

Pick an important day in Gun Rights history. Maybe Heller Decision. Maybe JMB's birthday. Have every gun owner in America take a sick day that day (okay, special dispensation for the folks that work in gun shops...). Could you imagine the impact of seeing a quarter to a half of the workforce absent?

Something to think about...

That is all.

Side note: Of all the days to chose to burn a vacation day...

Nah, we prefer to shake our fists and scream, "shall not be infringed" at our computer screens. :)

Darn it, I was going to get my hair done today!

So if you're bi, do you only call in sick for half the day?

It goes over surprisingly well the at the liberal college I work at. I've been doing shooting mondays for the last 2 months. It's getting pretty cold to ride motorcyle to the range at 7am but as long as it does not snow I should be able to keep it up for a while.

I've gotten some laughs from the cops when I pass them on I-5 with a rifle case and targets strapped to the bike.
