That’s me! I could also add, I CCW in the pro-gun state of Alabama. I’ve been educating my friends & family about the 2nd Amendment to the point of obnoxious-ness. And, writing Congress & out clueless POTUS & VP since the gun-grabbing started. NRA & GOA member also. Keep up the good fight, citizens.

Hi Glenn, Good to see you here. If your gun jams at least you have that ukelele, Randy

What’s your carry weapon?

Yes, that’s all very nice, but I think you’re dodging the important question: do you have a license and a holster for the ukelele?

  This is a bit disturbing. I think I’ve been pretty open minded in welcoming all gun owners here. Gays, people of color. Pro life, pro choice. Liberals.
  
  But a ukelele player? I don’t know. Next thing you know we’ll be welcoming the Irish. We gotta draw the line somewhere.

  UKULELE?! THAT’S PROTO-COMMUNIST ISLAND MUSIC!

Thanks for speaking up, Glenn! And yes indeed, I think it’s awesome you’re proud that you play the uke.

You might find it funny to hear it, but it’s become a “trendy” instrument among my students at school who have formed a club to practice playing it. I get to join amateur renditions of IZ and Hawaiian music… 😉

Yes, I have the required Pistol Permit in Alabama & my EDC is a Ruger LC9 in a Desantis Nemesis holster (occasionally a Versacarry instead). Depending on climate or dress code, I may also opt for a Ruger SR9C in a FOXX IWB holster at 4:00 position. Since the gun-grabbers seem to think that either 7 or 10 rnds are somehow a magic #, I’m “safe” w/the LC9’s 7 rnd or SR9C’s 10, but I usually prefer to keep the SR9C packed w/its STANDARD 17 rnd mag instead & always carry extra magazines on my person when carrying the LC9. As to the Ukulele’s … my EDC (I travel weekly) is either a KoAloha, Kamaka, LoPrinzi, Sailor Brand, or Mya-Moe custom (Bing either to learn a bit about the reach of those makers.)

The Ukes gives me another pass time when I can’t go to the range & have dry-fired all my trigger finger can stand!
