Why I Enjoy Virginia and West Virginia

I have been spending a lot of time in Virginia and West Virginia since I took a break from blogging. One of my reasons for liking these areas, is because they are gun friendly states that recognize the law abiding citizen's right to self defense. In Virginia, if you want to ride down the road on your motorcycle with a firearm openly exposed on your hip, it is perfectly legal to do so. If we are ever invaded by foreign nationals from the air, I only hope that they drop their para troopers into the mountains of West Virginia, because the local boys with their scoped Win Mag 300's will be taking care of that little problem rather quickly. My next reason, is the beauty that both of these states have in the look of their natural terrain which is wondrous. When John Denver wrote his song about West Virginia it didn't even begin to describe the beauty. Last but not least of course, is the people. Yes, there are parts of Virginia near the beltway where people are a bit rude, but for the most part Virginians and West Virginians are polite, friendly, and very patriotic people. There is nothing like driving through the rolling hills of West Virginia, and then coming into a little town with American flags adorning the houses along the main street. This is not just for holidays, but an every day thing that they do. When you go into the local corner store, people treat you in a friendly down home manner...they way it used to be, and one of the many things I miss in many areas of America these days. Yeah....I like Virginia and West Virginia, and this is a shout out to all of the patriotic and friendly people living in those wonderful states. Gun Shy salutes you!
