“They cannot be that dumb!” (Yes they are)

OK, the answer is no. At what time do you want to become a martyr?

You will be cordially invited to jump 5 stories into a dry pool.

It is always sadly hilarious when the chickens throw their support for Colonel Sanders. But they truly believe they are doing the morally right thing and be spared.

Lawfare and the Media

Jun 9, 2024 awa 11 comments

It was just announced that UPS and FedEx are being sued by the families of the victims who died in Uvalde. Yes, the shipping companies are being sued.

The goal is to make it as difficult to conduct business around firearms as possible. The claims are that these companies shipped “parts” to somebody that they should have known shouldn’t have these parts because they make scary guns scarier.

That is not the topic of today’s post. In trying to do research for the new case, I stumbled on a case from June 2023.

There was massive fanfare all through the media about how Daniel Defense, LLC, Oasis Outback, LLC and Firequest International, Inc were all being sued by some Uvalde families because an asshole did bad things with a product produced or sold by a third party.

It turns out that Daniel Defense had absolutely the best defense, they didn’t even bother to respond. Oasis Outback, the company that sold the firearm(?) to the asshole who did the shooting. Firequest also responded.

The gist? Both companies filed motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim. Hearings were held on December 1st, the court dismissed the suite on March 27th. Nine months of lawfare, taking money from people that did nothing wrong.

In one case, a thing which wasn’t a firearm was treated as if it was a firearm, and the seller should have predicted that an asshole was going to do a bad thing with that particular item.

Having lost there, they are no going back to the well, attempting to get UPS and FedEx to decide it is too risky to transport firearms or firearm accessories.

There are some reports that this is already affecting people.

New York Democrat Paula Collins just said that Trump supporters need a “re-education camp” after the Presidential election.

So, I was out today and bought a box of supplies for USA Re-Education .308 counter class.

Important lessons to learn

There are two big lessons to learn from this:

1) Goggles limit your peripheral vision. That guy went unnoticed because he was hiding below the field of vision of those entering the room. When wearing anything that affects your field of vision, you must actively scan the area.

This is a lesson I learned a long time ago working in industry wearing PPE. It’s very easy to forget your vision is impared and bonk your head on things.

This is especially important for all those Gun Culture 3.0 guys running around with NODs to remember. Typical NODs only have a 40° field of vision. Even the best quad-tube NODs are 97° in the horizontal and 20° vertical.

2) If you are going to clear a room, you have to know how to do it. The proper way to do this is slicing the pie.

 

 

When I went to Thunder Ranch, one thing we were shown to take a quick peek at the danger zone.

Yes, you are telling the person there you are coming. But you will also know they are there and are not caught by surprise.

Using both poor technique and not accounting g for your restricted field of view is what gets you shot in the dick without seeing it coming.

Lastly, these best way to clear this corner is…
