Shot!

The post by Betty in Harrison reminded me of a story about Winnie Jo's mama and daddy.
One time they were traveling by car on vacation out west and they were in a National park perhaps yellow stone tho' I really don't know if it was yellow stone perhaps Winnie Jo will remember.
My aunt Fleta often called uncle Harold "Merk" which was their last name.
uncle Harold told daddy they were in the park enjoying the wild life from the safety of the car when a bear came by and become very interested in their car. Uncle Harold had a small pistol in the glove box.
Aunt Fleta was scared of the bear and she yelled "Merk shot it, shot it" uncle told daddy the pistol would have just made the bear mad. so if it was yellow stone Merk had a gun in the park long ago!
In early December President Bush kept his promise and came through for gun owners who supported him by loosening rules allowing loaded, concealed guns in national parks and wildlife refuges.
