We have a family rule. Never shoot up all your ammo at the range. I finally got my father to tell me the story that led to that rule.

Very good story, a must read. One of those teaching moments that stay embedded in your brain forever.

I have 5 magazines per sidearm. Whenever I go to the range or shoot a match, the two reloads on my belt remain filled with what I call “The Good BBs” A.K.A. Defensive Ammo and placed in my range bag’s side pocket. That means only one mag gets emptied for shooting & practice if I need it. With revolver carry and being the speedloaders so cheap, there are always at least three ready with Good BBs for when I am done for the day.

Remember, an unloaded gun is just an expensive paperweight.

Adolphus Busch IV, heir to the Busch family brewing fortune, resigned his lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association on Thursday, writing in a letter to NRA President David Keene, “I fail to see how the NRA can disregard the overwhelming will of its members who see background checks as reasonable.”

Another serving of irony so thick, a lightsaber needs to be used for proper slicing.

Volstead Act? Eighteenth Amendment? Prohibition? For somebody whose family business had to endure the excesses of the Government, the idiocy is of a magnitude measured in parsecs.

When I heard the news that the Senate had failed to pass a Universal Background Check, I was at a police seminar on the topic of active shooters…..

……..When a retired police chief on the panel announced that he’d just received a text that the UBC had failed to make it through the Senate, the police audience erupted into applause. So much for the idea that cops all want to restrict your gun ownership.

I have nothing more to add. 😀

People’s Republic of Venezuela this week. The government sent out police and military to keep things “quiet” after Sunday’s election. Now, please remember that Venezuela is a Gun Control Paradise and its people have no way to defend themselves unless they are from the special kind of citizens connected to the revolution…or criminals….or both are the same.
Yes, the video starts with cops shooting at unarmed people and then the whole shit goes down the hill in a hurry.
Am I the only one that thought: “instead of a video camera, a nice rifle with red dot and see how many headshots can I score?”

And one more….

The only thing the witnesses could do was scream. Absolute power……

’cause I’d be cacafaced celebrating right now.

We are not done yet, but I am taking the day off if you don’t mind. The soundtrack of the day is the incessant whining of the Antis crying in despair.

Not happy about Manchin-Toomey not passing:
And the reaction from some of its minions is not…unexpected?
Classy fellows….. and at least one probably breaking a couple of federal laws.

But noooo…. we are the dangerous people!

What must be an intern or the guy that brings the “medicinal pot” to Boulder Channel 1, has taken over their Twitter account and….. well… lost it.

It gets better:

Yup… he went straight to the authorities based on his/her own mental malfunction. And it keeps getting weirder, specially since some people started to contact the advertisers:

And…Yes, I offered my opinion and got tossed in the vat.
Whomever are the honchos of this business are going to have a tough time proving Absence of Malice from those tweets.

In the meantime, let me play the song of their people:

Update: I am particularly proud of this one:
