Two years ago I was out walking precincts by Tafoya Elementary. When a lady opened her door I introduced myself and told her I was running for Supervisor.

Her first question was "Where do you stand on guns?". My experience with this is when guys ask they are NRA types and when women ask they tend to be gun control types I answered the question like I do for anyone by letting them know that I am a life member of the National Rifle Association and then I firmly believe that people have the right to own weapons for personal safety, hunting, and even just because they want to.

I watched her body tense up with my answer. She then told me I was dead wrong and that on the Board of Supervisors I would be making decisions on guns that would risk the safety of her and her children. It did not make much policy sense but I listened to her. I had gotten this sort of thing before.

Then she said something that really stuck out. She said that we needed more leaders in out area like Congressman Mike Thompson. Ok. That was her opinion. I thanked her for her time and went to the next house.

So last night I got home from the gym and looked in the drawer Jenn allows me to keep my mail in. My November issue of American Rifleman was in there but I was not going to have time to read it. Then I saw it. The 2008 Pro-Gun Ballot. John McCain/Sarah Palin for President/Vice-President and MIKE THOMPSON for the US House.

Inside it gives Thompson a B+ for his performance in Congress. Good for him. He is on the honor roll and has talent. I think his grades can get better if he applies himself.
