Giving the Troll some love…
Rick is the official Troll of the blog….but he is under a ban for trying to tell me what to write. Dumb move. .
He sent me this “infotext” via Twitter:
Let’s play a bit.
– Do I wear a parachute when I fly? Well Silly Ricky, not even the pilots carry parachutes in commercial flights because at 30,000 feet doing close to 600 mph and without thermal gear and an oxygen bottle, trying to do a HALO or a HAHO is pretty much null and void. You should now because you work for the FAA.
– Do I wear a football helmet to baseball games? I don’t like baseball.
– Do I wear a mask because I am afraid of germs? Only in Halloween.
– Relative to our own personal situations. You might be into something…extend the thought.
-Jump when the lawn guy unexpectedly (corrected that one for ya) rounds the corner. Yup, unannounced entry by somebody unauthorized by me on a closed area of my property makes me a wee bit nervous as it should you.
–Consider your level of fear. In the immortal words of Clint Smith: “I have the gun, what should I be afraid of?”
-You don’t want to live near me. Fine and dandy. That is your choice….wait…what word is that?
And that is the crux of the matter at hand: Choice. Remember I asked you to extend the thought? We have arrived.
You see, if you care to prepare or not or depend on three digits dialed in your phone, is up to you. I might criticize you for you lack of preparedness, but what I will not do is to IMPOSE on you what I think you should do. You and your cadre in the other hand, love to try to impose what you think is right on others and some of us do not tolerate that kind of manure.
You don’t hate/dislike us because we have guns. You do it because we remind you that there is ugly shit out there and that scares the ladypants out of you. You want to remain Tommy (Deaf, Blind and definitely Dumb) because it is easier to live that way. Seeing others that have chosen to be aware and prepared makes you feel lazy, insignificant and less of a man. And I am not saying we are Rambos or play super hero, but we try to solve the impending problem ourselves and before it becomes something too radical or too eternal to fix.
So basically what we are saying is: Mind your own fucking business. Go after the criminals. Leave us alone.
Remember, turnaround is fair play: If you think you can dictate what I do in my life, I will eventually get to dictate what you do in yours.
And you ain’t gonna like my guidelines.
Dear fellow bloggers on networkedblogs.com
WTF? Is there some sort of penance you guys are paying by being in that thing? It is taking a boatload of time for that “service” to load and redirect to your blogs. It is as annoying as Blogger’s captcha and that is a mouthful on itself and just slightly better than the Obamacare website
Shannon Watts: Sowing the seeds of intolerance.
I was sent this:
Mike Krzyzewski, basketball coach of Duke University took the team to his Alma Mater: West Point Academy. There the Duke players were shown the grounds and even the range where the Plebes train with simulated firearms and got a chance to shoot the equivalent of adult cap guns.
Shannon’s Tweet is so full of fail, it is a masterpiece. The Plastic Gardener has regaled us with a bouquet of bigotry and idiocy that has no parallel in Gun Control history. So why is Shannon Watts losing her mind? No idea, we can only guess.
1) Ignorance: She cannot tell the difference between a simulated gun and a real one. The students are holding things that look like UBRs (Ugly Black Rifles) and that is enough to send out an alarm.
2) Hatred against the Military: It is West Point, The House that Prepares Nice Young Men into Baby Killers. You know the rest of the Ultra Liberal Narrative.3) Racism: ZOMG! NEGROES WITH GUNS! Remember, they were at the MLK memorial telling black folks not to get guns…just like the KKK.
4) Idiocy: Well, it does not need an explanation, does it?
Yes, Shannon and their ilk are like that. A bunch of idiotic and hateful racist ignorants that swear they know more than everybody else and therefore you should surrender to the superior intellect.
University of Florida Practical Pistol Team Fundraiser.
As seen in Facebook by his ugliness Dale G.
The University of Florida Practical Pistol Team will be hosting our 1st annual fundraiser match this Sunday, October 20th. Everyone is welcome to come shoot or even just come hang out and enjoy the sport shooting atmosphere.
We will have lots of fun shooting games for you to try no matter what pistol you bring (nothing bigger than .45’s please)!
Glock, Springfield Armory, and Brownells have sponsored the match, so we have tons of awesome prizes for you to win!
Adams Rib’s will be catering the event.
$15 at the door will get you a run through all of our games and you can purchase extra runs! We will have leader boards up at each stage, so try to sweep them all!
Also, Glock has graciously given us a certificate good for any standard model (upgrades are available). We will be raffling it off at the end of the match, so stock up on your tickets!
$5 each or 5 for $20
Please bring a safe pistol, eye protection, ear protection, and a way of transporting your firearm (bag or holstered). Bring as much ammo as you care to shoot, but anticipate approx. 150 rounds to complete everything!
Time is not set yet, but right now we anticipate a 9AM registration, 9:45 safety brief, and a 10AM start!

If you are in the area, go and have fun.

Here’s the thing that the DA/SA guns have over most of these Striker Guns… That SA pull. I’ve fired some DA/SA guns with triggers so good it makes you want to go slap Gaston. Even with my tricked out Glock trigger, which is really dang good… It’s not as good as the SA pull on my Beretta 92.

Nice to see not everybody has ingested the Kool-Aid of the Exalted Church of the Striker Fired Plastic Wonder. As a DA/SA carrier, it is nice to see that I am not the only one that appreciates a proven system.
