[Carry on a Tour Bus?]

Keep it deep in your pocket and keep your mouth shut.

[Recent "Carport Break In" Riverside Plantation, West Nashville]

So you can threaten them and hold them at gun point but ya can't shoot em.

 

 Unless they lunge at you, putting you in fear for your life or of grievous bodily harm, then all bets are off. 

[Change for the $20 bill]

This is not supposed to be ready to implement until 2020. It won't survive the next president. It'll be another stupid idea dropped like a hot rock, as if it were never proposed.

[how much would you pay for surgery for your dog?]

Anti snake bite serum and treatment: $2000 plus.

 

Scratched cornea diagnoses, ointments, surgery and treatment: $2000 plus.

 

Unconditional love: Priceless.

[I had a life altering event occur this past Friday.]

Congratulations! Thirty-eight years and counting. 

 

It ain't always fun, but it's never boring. . . .

This isn't mine, but I kinda-sorta know the owner.

[No more Facebook gun sales]

http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/30/technology/facebook-gun-sales-ban.html?_r=0&referer=https://m.facebook.com/

Well, this sucks.
I know that it's their site, their rules but it still sucks.

 

 

Impossible to police. Lived in a town overseas that banned advertisements for dogs, as dogs were considered farm animals not suitable for urban areas. Therefore, the newspaper was full of ads for "fuzzy pets." Expect something similar for Facebook. No advertisements for guns? How about advertisements for "personal protective devices?"

[Considering a small SUV-AWD]

I'm doing my research and due dilligance on a pending small SUV/AWD vehicle. Currently I'm looking seriously at the Subaru Forester and Ford Edge. With those selections you can pretty well determine the price range I'm leaning towards. The four-cylinder engine in the Subaru kind of concerns me but it does have pretty good HP.  I  generally look first at slightly used vehicles but have sometimes purchased year end models when the price was right. Do any of you have recommendations?

 

 

My wife is extremely satisfied with her 2014 Subaru Forester. The CVT transmission is very solid, and with it's 2.5L four-cylinder boxer engine (essentially an airplane engine) provides more pickup than our classic Cherokee with a 4.0L six-cylinder engine. The AWD is excellent as well. The darn thing gets 30 miles to the gallon!

[Bill allows suits over gun-free zone incidents]

Liberty is the freedom to do whatever I please, as long as it doesn't infringe on your RIGHTS. You don't have a RIGHT to go to any place of business.

Say for example I own a restaurant that is well known to be the best of its type in a 100 mile radius. I also have a no guns sign on the door( replace "gun" with anything"). I ask anyone I see in my restaurant with one to leave. Or call and have the police escort them out with or without charges filed depending on their attitude. That's Liberty for property owners and how it should be. You don't have a RIGHT to come to my restaurant.

However, if there are enough people that like that type of restaurant and word gets around about how someone with a "gun" is treated, it creates a market for a gun friendly restaurant. Someone opens a restaurant right next door with the same amazing food and service, but they are also friendly and inviting to gun carrying patrons. And eventually my restaurant( the not gun friendly one), goes out of business or has much less business than the new one. This forces me to either accept a loss of profit while standing up for my beliefs, or to change my mind for the sake of money.

That is Liberty and the free market.

Tyranny is when someone in a position of power imposes their will on someone else, usually in government where they control critical functions, such as water supply, food production, waste management, entry into/ exit from the country, etc. Not always though, if I somehow had the only way of getting food in a place unable to farm then that would be tyranny but that's not the case in America.

 

"Liberty is the freedom to do whatever I please, as long as it doesn't infringe on your RIGHTS." 

 

Small problem with that when it comes to the Second Amendment. We have an inherent right to defend our persons. Therefore, your property rights are trumped by my inherent, God-Given Right to Self Defense. Sorry. 

 

In the whole Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness (Property), Life comes in First in every case. It's not possible to have Happiness (Property) or Liberty without Life.

[Man shoots dog in neighborhood park while kids are playing nearby]

The emotional attachment to an attacking dog is immaterial. Dog attacks, dog gets shot. True emotional attachment to a dog includes properly training and restraining it.

[EOTech supposedly issuing refunds]

I wouldn't be concerned with that. L-3 is a huge operation and EOTech is just one product they make. Plus, a lot of gun owners who own them will probably never even hear about the refund/lawsuit to begin with.

 And L-3 is, I think, a Raytheon company. There are few deeper pockets in the country.

[EOTech supposedly issuing refunds]

My Eotech 512 stopped working after five years. Eotech sent me a repair kit to freshen up the battery contacts and replace the battery compartment. Quick turn. Easy fix. Works like new. Of course, I am not using it in Iraq where my life is on the line, so I'm good. 

[Carrying around people who don't share your views of protection.]

In polite company, I do not talk about or expose my genitals or my firearm. 

[Suggestions to replace my Springfield 45]

Sounds like a dangerous weapon. I will take it off your hands and dispose of it for all of our safety. :)

 

PM me.

 

Aloha.

[67 yo woman charged with Agg Assault for drawing when she felt threatened]

I think it was wrong for her to be charged. Common enough robbery prelude: "Hey Lady, ya got a light?" A distraction before a purse snatching in almost every case. If he was within 21 feet of her and aggressive and not stopping his approach when told to, he is in the wrong. You have less than two seconds to stop an assault from someone who gets within 21 feet of you. If it was the Police Officer himself that had been approached in such a manner, the officer would not hesitate to draw down on the aggressor. The woman did not shoot the perpetrator, she just stopped him. A reasonable person, the standard, would be scared out of her wits. Though arrested by the Officer, this is not the final word. The DA will have to get hold of it, and a Grand Jury. This will get No Billed by a Grand Jury. If it got that far, no Jury in the country would convict. IMO.

[Converting 5.56 to 300 BLK]

My Dremel tool with a cutting disk makes short work of the 5.56 to 300 BLK conversion. 

[If you enter a gun store you are "the wrong crowd"]

Close the gun store and rent the space to a "Massage Parlor" with a "Motel" next door. . . .

[Moon crater glock]

Sounds like the opportunity cost for a complete fix is the $175 stripped slide. Since that can be purchased at any time, the JB weld fix is a good fix until it demonstrates it's not a good fix. In the meantime, everyone learns something, and $175 is conserved.

[New Colt M4 6920 AR15 $699 @ Walmart, 8/7/2015]

Why are they getting out of the market for black rifles? Why? No profit? Political pressure? Who knows WHY? It matters.

[FBI: Middle Eastern Men Intimidating U.S. Military Families In Colorado & Wyoming]

I was actually surprised to hear this happened in WY. And that the muzzies were able to drive away. They either have massive cojones, or rocks in their head.

 

I vote for the rocks in their head. Their cojones are shriveled through anal copulation with their cousins.

[U.S. flag not lowered ?]

Boehner ordered the flag to be lowering this morning I think.

Yep. Speaker of the House of Representative Boehner ordered the U.S. Flag flying over the U.S Capitol building to fly at half staff. That was the final pressure needed to get the skinny Kenyan Shiite in Our White House to roll over and publish the order allowing the U.S. Flag across the country to fly at half staff. Too late by far. Now that we know for sure that the obammunist can be rolled, he should be rolled and rolled all the way down the hill and into the river, where perhaps he will drown.

[Flag Controversy reaches my street.]

Which would make us ripe for takeover by which ever moderately powerful country felt like it.

Which might in fact be part of the plan of the current administration. . . .

[Flag Controversy reaches my street.]

[Flag Controversy reaches my street.]

How'd that thought process work out circa 1861?

A lot of things have changed. The South is now heavily industrialized and Northern industry is "rust belted" in a lot of cases. Southern Confederate Flag against the Rainbow Gay Pride flag? Not much of a contest, unless it's restricted to bitch slapping.
