Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
Found in Reddit:
IIRC, your average 9mm, 124 grains rides around 1,100 feet per second or 750 miles per hour. If you go 9mm +P, then you start hitting the 830 MPH mark.
Oh yes, the speed of sound is 767 miles per hour.
Right now at you local WalMart they are selling BB pistols that deliver twice the speed of the assumed guns in the photo, no background check required.
Somebody confused their Guns and Ammo with Car and Driver.
In July 2013, Jeffery Barton, a Washington State resident, was charged with a misdemeanor for “illegally discharging a firearm.” On July 17, 2013 Barton plead “not guilty” to the charge.
This week, a few days before his jury trial was about to begin, those charges were dropped, it seems thanks in part to Vice President Joe Biden…
…Barton repeatedly told media outlets, “I did what Joe Biden told me to do. I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air.”

Sometimes you just wanna sit in a corner and hit the bottle (in my case, soda but you feel free to drink whatever spirit you want). Wait for the next batch of idiots that are going to pull the same stunt and face jail time.
Hat tip to Robert E.
Caveat: I still think that the Open Carry of long guns for showing off purposes is stupid.
Just like the Ku Klux Klan, CSGV and its members are pretty much peeing in their collective Depends at the sight of Black People with guns. The gamut of comments run from Blaming the NRA to wishing death to both Blacks and NRA members (apparently there cannot be a black NRA member according to the hive mind) to demand immediate legislation to stop Blacks from carrying guns.
If we weren’t in the 21st Century, you could swear you are reading the comments of Plantation & Slave owners in the late 1700s about the possibility of armed slaves revolting against their proper masters.
And remember, we are the Racist Tea Baggers.
Always a good reminder that a man with a knife is not to be ignored.
Our fried is distance and any big objects we can have between the attacker and ourselves. And for those who have not seen the reality of it, here is an old post that will drive the point home.
The Boss’ favorite shooter has gone big.

Gabby is a helluva shooter, orders of magnitude better than me. Boss trained with her which may explain why she also shoots better than me. Congratulations to Gabby!
