Edna sputtered again and the old man went on relentlessly, “Now if you want a true critique, let’s look at your costume. You look like a cross between a Mexican hooker and a storekeeper. That belt is what hookers wore back in those days to keep their money on them. They sewed the silver pesos on the belt, did you know that? I’m betting those aren’t real silver Conchos either. The blouse is wrong too. And that Buscadero rig? It’s a border rig from the 1920s, but what you’re wearing was actually designed by John Bianchi in the 1940s. And they didn’t have wrist watches in the early 1900s.”

I am an unabashed fan of Jim Curtis. This short story had me laughing because if you do any competitive shooting, you will see an example of a Range Nazi eventually. And they are usually dealt with less grace.

I always find fascinating how the Opposition twists the facts to mold them to their immediate needs. First, the first duty of a Secret Service agent in the presidential detail is not to engage in a gun battle with an assassin but to make sure the President survives such attack even if it means stepping in front of a bullet like Agent Tim McCarthy did.

But same as Handgun Control Inc (Brady Campaign today) they used Hinckley and Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman to push for Waiting Times for gun purchases and background checks for firearms sales.

The kick then and now was that both Hinckley and Chapman (Lennon’s killer) would have passed the background checks without a hitch since neither was a felon, had been adjudicated mental incompetent or where known abusers of alcohol or drugs.

And, of course, a touch of class was added by a few:

It never changes….. good! It makes our job easier.

I know you have seen this: XM42 Handheld Flame Thrower

Guys (and probably more than one Gal) foam at the mouth at the idea of a personal fire-delivery device. How do we know this? because we like to see stuff burn by our hands if we cannot shot it or blow it up.

And how do we know this? Because their IndieGoGo Fundraiser actually got double of what they were asking to start production. Actually so far they are 237% above with 29 days left on the calendar or in plain English over $94,000.

The House on Friday passed one of the first House-Senate conference reports, or final agreements, filed this session. Senate Bill 2394, which originally only reduced fees for concealed carry permits, in its final version includes language to allow concealed carry of a gun in “a purse, bag, handbag, satchel or other similar bag or briefcase or fully enclosed case.”

The Senate is expected to approve the agreement and send it to the governor.

“Most ladies don’t want to carry a gun on their hip for the world to see,” said House Judiciary Chairman Andy Gipson, R-Braxton. “Men may, but ladies may not.”

Gov. Phil Bryant said he will “absolutely” sign the bill into law, and noted his wife, Deborah, might find it handy for carrying her Ruger .380.

“She’s a darned good shot,” Bryant said

There we go, a totally sexist bill. Whatever happened to Equal Rights? This is clearly and Anti-Male bill 😀

As silly as it may seem, it shows the importance of reading and knowing the process of how the laws of your state are made. And also shows that sometimes “good enough” is an advancement that should not be impeded by the silly demand of “Perfect.” Mississippi tried to get total permitless carry, but it did not congeal in this session, maybe for next year but still one step forward was taken and that cannot be dismissed.

No Compromise is just another way of saying “We don’t get shit done.”

We have the video!

Be kind, share with your friend that believe in Ballistic Voodoo.

If you listened to our opponents, there’s an epidemic of criminal trafficking going on right beneath our noses, and surely we just need to pass some “common sense” gun control laws to fix the problem. Three prosecutions in two years does not add up to a serious problem. Shouldn’t Coloradans question the motivation of the people who pushed this law as a solution to a crisis in the wake of such a low level of prosecution

The alleged win in Colorado by the Opposition is slowly turning into an anchor that keeps dragging them down.

They made their Pyrrhic bed, I hope they enjoy the nails.
