The Walmart CWP attacker is still in jail. Might be a sad story after all.

Michael Scott Foster, the guy who attacked Clarence Daniels at a Brandon, F. WalMart because he saw his legally carried concealed weapon is still being held at the Hillsborough County Sheriff even though it was charged with battery (a misdemeanor) and bond set a $500.

He was originally set to be released the same day at 6:23 pm, but something must have happened inside the jail as he is now being held under the Baker Act.

So maybe we face the possibility that Mr. Foster may have a previous mental problem and that is nothing to laugh about or make snarky comments. County records show no other arrests for Foster and no entries in the Florida Corrections Department database.

Let’s just say that we are seeing an unusual and sad case and we can only speculate. And also to hope Mr. Foster recovers and Mr. Daniels be without injury.

Florida is now an official target for UBC. Shannon Watts lets it slip.

Bill was able to get a screen capture before Shannon came to her senses and deleted the Tweet.

Florida is truly hated by the Antis. We got the Concealed Carry avalanche started and we did not make any friends by re-instituting Stand Your ground and a slew of other Pro-Second Amendment bills. If we could be erased from the map while keeping DisneyWorld, they would have done so already.

 

What an old timey bullet does to flesh and bone. (Graphic Content)

Cow humerus versus a 69 caliber flintlock pistol. This is a series of photograph titled “Experimental Archaeology – Bullet Wounds” by Geodkyt.  Photos by Nancy R.

Up close and personal (about 3 feet). Not a pretty sight. Notice the powder burns

 

69 caliber flintlock 02
Rick notes: “Dissecting. See the ball fragments? All sharp and will continue to cut if left behind.”

And the exit wound

 

 

69 caliber flintlock 05
Rick: “Another shot of the bone. We used a relatively short barreled .69 pistol. Smaller ball, and lower velocity compared to a 42″-46″ .75 musket, but given we were shooting up close (to make sure we got the bone), it roughly equals out.”

 

 

69 caliber flintlock 06
Rick: “Bone, after cleaning and gluing back together. This is the entrance hole. Notice the missing pieces?”

 

69 caliber flintlock 07
Rick: “Exit hole. Notice the long, splintery pieces missing, and the jagged edges of the ones we found to glue back in? All of those edges would be cutting tissue if left intact.”

 

And Rick finishes with an observation that makes all the sense in the world:

*This* is why amputation was the “go to” operation. No way to repair that damage without anesthesia, sterile instruments, x-rays, blood transfusion, bioneutral surgical glue, something to replace the missing bone, and antibiotics.

Let’s say he had me at “without anesthesia.”

 

The long-reaching power of the Gun Lobby is so awesome that…

There be guns in Mars!

Astronomer Joe White could hardly believe his eyes while studying footage beamed back from the planet by NASA’s Curiosity rover.

The 45-year-old, from Bristol, spotted what seems to be an old-fashioned pistol lying on the face of the Red Planet.

The handle and barrel of the gun-shaped rock are clearly defined, sitting amongst much smaller pieces of rubble on the surface of Mars.

“This object is about five to eight inches long and looks very much like an old flintlock pistol with a trigger, barrel and handle clearly visible.

OK., you can stop laughing now, they are being serious.

But just imagine the downfall. The Conspiracy Theory people are gonna have multicolored kitties, specially after Senator Ted Cruz became the chairman of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Science, Space, and Competitiveness which oversees NASA. Obviously a Libertarian/Conservative/Tea Party conspiracy to bring the invasion of the planet and the resurrection of Ronald Reagan.

In New York, Everytown and Moms Demand are trying to figure out how to send the No More Names tour bus all the way to Mars. I figure they are talking to either the Russians or the Virgin Atlantic guy and they may end up sending a black Golf cart with a Moms Demand T-Shirt and beer cozy.

The good news? There is one NRA member who lost that gun and now he is very happy it was found!
