You Must Always Be In Control of Your Weapon

December 31, 2014 / / 0 Comments

A woman was killed by her two-year-old son because he found it in her purse while at a Wal-Mart.

I’m not a fan of off-body carry, especially when there are tiny hands and inquisitive minds about. I also realize that on-body carry may not always be available, especially for women. IMHO, that means more attention needs to be paid to where the gun is and who is near it.

If you are going to be off-body carrying, please keep this incident in mind and remember to have your weapon under control at all times.

Oh, and if you’re going to use this incident to tell me why we shouldn’t have guns, you’re a fucking vulture and a blood-dancer and you can go to step on a broken Lego.

…in Ferguson, what they’re being told is you only have two choices: 1) a hyper-militarized police state to stop violence, including arson, or 2) let it go and burn the town down. Twenty different buildings have burned to the ground. That’s a false choice.

For Ferguson in particular if…they don’t believe that the police department is legitimate, they should be protecting themselves and secure themselves because the more they secure themselves, the less reason there is for the police to be in their neighborhoods and communities. So they should take care of themselves for both reasons—to be secure, but also to be more free.

Suppressors Are Now Legal For All Hunting in Florida

November 21, 2014 / / 0 Comments

From the NRA statement:

At their meeting in Key Largo, Florida, today, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission voted to remove the ban on using silencers/suppressors on pistols and rifles for hunting deer, gray squirrels, rabbits, wild turkeys, quail and crows.

Using silencers/suppressors on pistols, rifles and shotguns for all other legal hunting was already allowed.

Following the suppressor vote, the Commission also voted to authorize an Executive Order to lift the ban immediately and allow hunting with suppressors to begin at once.

Following that vote, Executive Order # EO 14-32 was signed. Using suppressor-equipped rifles, pistols and shotguns is now legal for all hunting in Florida.

This is a great victory for hunters.

Kids and Guns

Since the kids had the day off from school, I thought it would be a good day for my niece’s first trip to the range.

Why yes, that is a seven-year-old girl blasting away with an M&P-15/22! And she wants her own rifle for her next birthday.

Things Posted Over On the Book of Face

Sometimes I post some material over there that I don’t here. These are a couple of items:

1)

Fun: Taking my nephew shooting.

More fun: Getting my nephew to tell his mother “There has been a good killing.”

2)

Coworker comes into my office to discuss a joint assignment. Before he leaves, he turns and asks me if I can smell the faint odor. The question isn’t as rude as it sounds, because we’ve had issues with the building.

Me: Yes, it’s leather dye.

CW: From what?

Me: My new belt.

CW: I don’t remember that smell from any of my belts.

Me: That’s because you buy your belts where you get your clothes from. I buy my belts where I get my holsters from.

Lightbulb goes off and my coworker wanders off.

Reputation defended for the day.

It is also in the interests of a tyrant to keep his people poor, so that they may not be able to afford the cost of protecting themselves by arms and be so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for rebellion.

Registration and licensing fees, anyone?

If Our Opponents Had Their Way…

Healthcare workers treating Ebola patients would be banned from purchasing guns. All because the CDC is proposing that healthcare workers who treat Ebola patients be placed on the no-fly list.

Our opponents kept telling us that people on the no-fly list were all terrorists that shouldn’t be allowed to purchase guns. Never mind that the list has been riddled with errors and consistently criticized for its secrecy and for the inability of those wrongly put on it to appeal.
