gun sane

My wife was headed home from work today when she saw about 20 pickups with the Stars and Bars and the Gadsden flag affixed to their beds parked in a shopping center lot. She stopped to see what was going on and heard a ruckus coming from behind the trucks. A bystander said that a "big blonde woman" among the group of flag wavers was beating the tar out of another man who objected to the display. The stranger said that he had a great grandfather lying in an unmarked grave near Atlanta who fought for the South, saying "it wasn't about slavery, but states rights." He advised my wife to head on out, as were some of the trucks before the police arrived. Looks like it's gonna get more rowdy before it gets peaceful.

Well, I certainly learned something in training class:  It costs in the neighborhood of $200 to get your 2A right activated in Tennessee.

A judge pulled the fuse.   http://oathkeepers.org/oath-keepers-to-stand-down-from-sugar-pine-mine/

Gander Mountain, right?

In music lore, Brian and Carl Wilson wrote a song about this issue for the Beatles Revolver album.  Alas, the mopheads turned it down.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBCMXZ4Byxc   Okay....I could be wrong. 

It's said that Samuel Colt made men equal with his six-shooter. In his movies, John Wayne made lawful gun owners superior. Source: http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/john-wayne/images/31495013/title/john-wayne-photo

I've had to increase the taper crimp on my 9mm loads because of crimp jump since I bought a Ruger LCR in that caliber, but that's the only real adjustment I've had to make. 

Before we knight the officer who ventilated the two Muslim terrorists at the Muhammed drawing contest, the Garland police would like everyone to know that he wasn't the only one who contributed to their demise. The SWAT team deserves some kudos, too. And, the Garland authorities knew nothing--NOTHING--about the report that the Islamic rage boys were on their way from Arizona to stir up more hate and discontent. Evidently it takes two weeks to get the stories straight. These rock solid facts are the honest truth, at least until the chief's phone rings again.   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/05/12/texas-police-change-major-detail-in-story-of-how-muhammad-cartoon-contest-gunmen-were-killed/

The private is wondering how long we're supposed to stay in formation, Drill Sergeant!

Just like an ugly, cur dog it'll stay by your side, eat what you feed it and never have to go to the vet.

:hat:

I won't move back to Texas.....and that's saying something.

  I'm really not interested in leaving retirement, but maybe a federal job is ideal for my skill set.  :pleased:

  I shoulda known there were others here quicker on the draw.  I think I'm about 2 for 5 here.  :blush:

I had a fox in the backyard last fall. Funny thing was, he didn't spook and run when I came up to him. I called animal control and they confirmed he was rabid. Use caution if they behave abnormally. [url=http://s1203.photobucket.com/user/Mantema/media/IMG_3247_zps1fc64fa0.jpg.html][/URL]

Remember the Bundy Ranch dustup several months back? Well, another showdown between the Bureau of Land Management and private citizens is on the burner, this time over mining rights in southwestern Oregon. Let's see if the federals tuck tail again.   http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/04/15/another-showdown-armed-members-of-oath-keepers-group-for-standoff-against-blm/

Rule No. 1--Always be alert to what's happening around you. Rule No. 2--If Rule No. 1 is broken, remember Rule No. 1   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUzTIKAbI3k

  So that's what they mean when a gun is in battery.  :jester:

One would think that if a foreigner served time in our military, he/she would want to attain natural citizenship before assuming law enforcement responsibility.  A green card was originally granted as a means for temporary work; long-term careers, especially involving public safety, should be reserved for those desiring to assimilate and swear allegiance to this country and its Constitution.

Maybe these companies should stick with trying to invent a better mousetrap.....or would that be the sixth ridiculous item?   http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2015/03/17/5-ridiculous-things-can-put-picatinny-rail/?utm_source=SOCIAL&utm_medium=POST&utm_campaign=OHUB

  At least they wouldn't have to make up wild stories about dodging sniper fire.
