The importance of good Eye Protection

Comment from reader Therefore:

I’ve caught a brass case on top of my safety glasses. Yes, it left a painful blister. But the gun was down on the table before I reached up to remove it. OUCH.

I had a similar incident like that, but I had a set of eye-pro that was “generous” in its fitting and left a gap from the face big enough that I had a 9 mm case fly in and land on my right eyelid while shooting an IDPA stage. It was a pretty static stage and I was almost done so I force myself (cussing and all) to wait for the Safety Officer to do his thing before clawing the glasses off. I did get a small blister .

The other reason I got the case nested on my eyelid was back then I did not use any kind of brimmed hat, just a plain bandana, because cool and crap.

I forget who gave me the advice to use caps or hats to help avoid the same accident, but it has become part of my safety routine at the range.  And for cool factor, I just went with this hat adorned with the appropriate pins

I haven’t seen nobody wearing a hat like that. Probably because of good taste.

So, wear good-fitting eye protection and wear something brimmed that shelves over your eyes. Shooting safely is no joke.

Stop making me right about Juneteenth

 

I keep hammering this point home because it must be understood that the goal of the Left is to sew division where ever possible as much as possible.

There were over 828,000 Union casualties during the Civil War to advance through the Confederacy and end slavery, making the celebration of Juneteenth possible.

That is part of what should be celebrated.  It is perhaps, the very first time in human history a race fought and died for another race to be free.

In the whole tribalistic history of humanity, I cannot think of another time that has happened.

But according to the Left, all white people are guilty for slavery and therefore it is a holiday they should not celebrate.

Unity is dead because they don’t want unity, they just want another group of Kulaks to blame for all their problems.

If I ever take up firearms training, one of the things I may do is to shove hot brass inside the clothing of people so they get the experience over and not react like fools when an ejected shell ends up in their soft parts.

If you have been shooting for a while, chances are you have caught a hot one and know that although painful, it does not kill you or makes you bleed. You get a blister and that’s pretty much it. Just because it stings, does not mean The Four Rules get to be ignored.

 

Seattle is more batsh*t crazy than you can possibly imagine

Allow me to introduce Ubax Gardheere, she is running for elected office in King County, Washington.

This is how she describes herself on her own website:

Ubax has lived in King County-for 25 years. A proud single parent to three very energetic kids who keep her on her toes, Ubax has dedicated her life to striving to be a good ancestor who leaves a better world for the next generation. She is a multi-talented strategist, collective power builder, policy analyst, and donor and funder organizer focused on policy and systemic healing.

This is how Seattle Weekly described her in 2010:

When Seattle Weekly met Ubax Gardheere a few months ago for a feature story on the Somali community, she was handing out worksheets and snacks at a tutoring program she ran at a SeaTac YMCA. College-educated and soft-spoken (as well as heavily pregnant), the 29-year-old Somali immigrant was working with a coalition trying to counter the image of her compatriots as terrorists. Yet on Monday Tuesday of last week, a little after 7:30 a.m., she boarded a Highline School District bus and scared the wits out of a bunch of middle schoolers with a rant that seemed like the threats of a militant. First telling the driver to call his dispatcher because a “national security incident was going on,” according to court documents, she then blamed the U.S. for the violent chaos in Somalia. “You need to calm yourself down ’cause I could have a bomb,” she told the kids as some started to run off the bus. Gardheere sent this picture of herself, beaten up.  King County Sherriff’s deputies soon arrived and arrested her, at which point she said, “I am prepared to die.” They found no bomb.

What the actual fuck?

From Seattle PI:

Prosecutors: Woman boards Highline school bus, threatens to bomb it

A SeaTac woman is facing felony charges on allegations that she threatened to blow up a school bus, then called middle school students cowards as they fled.

In court documents, King County prosecutors claim Ubax Gardheere boarded the Highline School District bus on Jan. 12 as it made its morning rounds. Once aboard the Chinook Middle School-bound bus, Gardheere allegedly demanded the driver tell his dispatcher “that a national security incident was going on.”

Gardheere, 29, then began yelling at the children, berating them about America’s relationship with Somalia, according to police reports. When the children and driver told Gardheere to leave the bus, authorities alleged the incident took a violent turn.

“You need to calm yourselves down ’cause I could have a bomb,” Gardheere said, according to a police recounting of an audio recording of the incident. “Look how loose my clothes are.”

Children began fleeing from the rear door of the bus, which was stopped near South 208th Street and International Boulevard South. As they did so, Gardheere began screaming that they were “cowards” for abandoning their classmates, police allege.

This woman carried out a mock terrorist attack and bomb threat because she blamed the condition of Somalia on America.

Now she is running for public office in King County.  There is no need to tell you which party she’s in.

In most of the country, this would be utterly insane.

In the Seattle area, hating America this much and committing an act of terrorism is a plus.

I suspect she will win.

The question is if she will use that position to eventually run for higher office?  Ilhan Omar used her position to go to bat for ISIS recruits, so is clearly a supporter of terrorsm.  The next logical step is for the Democrats to elect an actual Islamic terrorist.
