Xmas Shoot-out

[Orv Reichert]

We have all suspected, for years, that S Claus carried some type of pistol under that tunic. At last, due to the efforts of our reporter, Mr. P38, this candid photo was acquired which clearly shows that he carries a P38 !!!


This shot was taken during a recent exchange between Claus and a former employee who was responsible for a 'fly-by' attack on the Claus residence located in the far north. The ex-employee, now known on the street as "Rudy the Schnoz", had been making threats concerning the loss of his primary position with the Claus firm.


Police are investigating......there are rumors that the Claus CCW had expired. If so, he will be subject to prosecution and incarceration.


Senator Diane Feinstein [D-CA] has indicated she will ask to have his permit revoked if it is currently valid. The anti-gun Senator stated "No one has a right to shoot at a flying raindeer just because he shot at you, first!"


MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!

I traded Santa the P-38 for his assurances that Sen. Feinstein and her kind would receive nothing other than reindeer crap in their stockings for Christmas this year. Although, I doubt she and other anti-gun despots celebrate Christmas anyway (not politically correct, you know).


Remember, when they oulaw guns, only outlaw reindeer will have guns!


Here's a Christmas poem you may or not have seen before. Take care, Denny


"Santa meets a solider"


'Twas the night before Christmas,

He lived all alone,

in a one bedroom house made of

plaster and stone.


I had come down the chimney

with presents to give,

and to see just who

in this home did live.


I looked all about,

a strange sight I did see;

no tinsel, no presents,

not even a tree.


No stocking by mantle,

just boots filled with sand.

On the wall hung pictures

of far distant lands.


With medals and badges,

awards of all kinds,

a sobering thought

came through my mind.


For this house was different,

it was dark and dreary.

I found the home of a Soldier,

once I could see clearly.


The Soldier lay sleeping,

silent and alone.

Curled up on the floor

of this one bedroom home.


The face was so gentle,

the room in such disorder.

Not how I pictured

a United States Soldier.


Was this the hero

of whom I'd just read?

Curled up on a poncho,

the floor for a bed?


I realized the families

that I visited this night,

owed their lives to these Soldiers

who were willing to fight.


Soon round the world,

the children would play,

and grownups would celebrate

a bright Christmas day.


They all enjoyed freedom

each month of the year,

because of the Soldiers,

like the one lying here.


I couldn't help wonder

how many lay alone,

on a cold Christmas eve

in a land far from home.


The very thought

brought a tear to my eye.

I dropped to my knees

and started to cry.


The Soldier awakened

and I heard a rough voice,

"Santa don't cry,

this life is my choice;


I fight for our freedom,

I don't ask for more,

My life is my God,

my Country, my Corps."


The Soldier rolled over

and drifted to sleep.

I couldn't control it,

I continued to weep.


I kept watch for hours,

so silent and still.

And we both shivered

from the cold night's chill.


I didn't want to leave

on that cold, dark night,

this guardian of honor

so willing to fight.


Then the Soldier rolled over,

with a voice soft and pure,

whispered, "Carry on Santa,

it's Christmas - all is secure."


One look at my watch,

And I knew he was right.

"Merry Christmas my friend,

And to all a good night.

Hey Orv,


I got a laugh out of your pic. I suppose the Luger guys will take that pic and replace your P-38 with their favorite.


Bob


P.S.I see you hang out here too.

We "Luger Guys" know that in that picture (taken late in the encounter) Santa had already expended both magazines in his Luger and is now on his backup gun... a P.38


Dok

That's what I heard Dok!


Last night on TV, watching Twighlight Zone, the movie, the racist guy gets his just dues and is tossed back in time, two SS guys come after him, gandishing Lugers and then shoot him off of a building.


Kind of cool, and those Lugers popping up everywhere.
