Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
While waiting for the shotgun class to begin, I saw this.
I am guessing if you don’t feel like building your “Oh Sh*t!” kit or are in a hurry to have something available, you can go with one of these two options.
Notice it does not come with tourniquet, you must supply your own. the range had a crate full of them right under the kits.
It had been way too many years since I took a shotgun class and I admit I don’t shoot it as often as I should, even for fun. So, when Outpost Armory offered a Shotgun Fundamentals class, I decided to follow the advice of Randy Cain and go back to basics and just knock some of the rust.
I believe that other than me and maybe one more, all of the students may have had a passing knowledge of shotgun or plain none at all. It was great to see people wanting to learn and do so in a platform that was supposed to be hard.
And, of course the obligatory arty-tacticool photo,
I know, I am not Oleg. Shut up. 😀
They have more classes in other guns coming up and I believe I will take an AR class followed by a Red Dot Handgun class.
I will keep you posted.
Just some basic shotgun class. No tactical stuff.
Then again, I had only one class some 20 years ago and zilch since then.
When in doubt, go back to the basics.
And no, I am not taking the bayonet. I’ll do that for the advanced class.
One of the things I keep reading, and I want to clarify:
No attribution because this, or versions of it, have been seen throughout the Internet.
Judge Coleman’s ruling does not apply to “illegal Immigrants”, “illegal aliens”, “green card holders”, “permanent residents”, or “citizens”. It ONLY applies to Mr. Carbajal-Flores.
But let’s compare this to the Rahimi case. Mr. Rahimi is a nasty, evil, no good, piece of shit. He is a bad guy.
His case is before the Supreme Court. They will be issuing an opinion on §922(g)(8).
The Fifth Circuit says that it does violate the Constitution, The state disagrees.
Do I want bad guys with violent tendencies running around with guns? No!
Will Rahimi get out of jail and be free to roam the streets with firearms if the Supreme Court rules in his favor?
No. He will not.
Mr. Rahimi is in jail for the things he did, outside possessing a firearm, while under a domestic-violence restraining order.
The federal count of §922(g)(8) was one of many counts brought against Mr. Rahimi. He is not getting out of jail anytime soon.
Mr. Carbajal-Flores is in the same situation. He is an illegal alien, in Chicago, doing bad things.
Mr. Carbajal-Flores entered the United States, illegally, in or before 2002. In June 2020, he was hanging around the front of a business when he claims he was handed a firearm by a 3rd party. The group of men loitering in front of the business claim to be an “impromptu neighborhood watch”.
He claims that he witnessed four vehicles drive past the business yelling threats and pointing guns at the “neighborhood watch”.
Then, at 2306, he pulled the gun and fired seven rounds at a car which he claimed had swerved to strike one of the members of the “watch”. At 2340, he pulled the gun again, fired repeatedly at a different vehicle, but the gun had malfunctioned and no rounds were actually fired.
Shortly after that, he was arrested by the police.
After arrest, he was found to be an illegal alien.
He was handed over to ICE. An indictment was issued via grand jury. The court issued a warrant for his arrest. He “self-surrendered”. Bail was set at $4,500 and he was released on house arrest. That was later modified to allow him to continue to go to work.
After Bruen issued, he filed a motion to dismiss on an as applied Second Amendment Challenge to §922(g)5.
When Judge Coleman issued her memorandum and order in December 2022, she faithfully followed —United States V. Mariano a. Meza-Rodriguez, 798 F.3d 664 (7th Cir. 2015) which is Seventh Circuit court case law extending Second Amendment protections to illegal aliens as part of The People.
The Seventh Circuit then said that under means-end, the state could deny Second Amendment protected rights to illegal aliens.
Judge Coleman just followed along.
In 2024, she reheard the request for dismissal. Using text, history, and tradition, found that the Second Amendment did protect the rights of illegal aliens to possess arms, AS APPLIED TO MR. CARBAJAL-FLORES
This case was never about whether he was a member of “The People”. It was always about means-end balancing.
Regardless, Mr. Carbajal-Flores violated multiple statutes. Having a gun was the easy one to prove. They have video evidence of him shooting at a car. They have video evidence of him trying to shoot a different car. Both of those are crimes.
He should be in jail for attempted murder. I don’t care if he thought the car was swerving to strike somebody, at the time he was shooting, the car was already leaving.
After he gets out of jail for attempted murder, his ass should be deported.
§922(g) is an evil statute. It should be removed.
If you are not moral enough to be carrying arms, you are not moral enough to be free of incarceration.
If you are locked up, you still have the right to keep and bear arms. You are being denied that right.
Once you are released, you still have the right to keep and bear arms.
If the state things that after being released you should still be denied your rights, then they should have kept you incarcerated.
Off the sandbox.
THANK YOU to everybody who joined in yesterday’s discussion.
Stuff and info still being gathered, so the 72-hour waiting period for facts still applies. (Updating numbers as I find out)
93115133 people are now known to have died in a terrorist attack on the Crocus City Hall on the outskirts of Moscow. 107 people are in hospital, with about 60 of them described as being in a serious condition. Authorities are yet to identify them all.
A number of gunmen stormed the concert hall, opening fire, and later set the venue ablaze. The Russian Investigative Committee said its preliminary findings were that the terrorists had used automatic weapons and flammable liquid to start the fire. There had been earlier reports that explosives were used.
Russian media has reported that president Vladimir Putin has been informed that 11 suspects have been detained, including four people directly responsible for the attack. A Russian lawmaker has claimed the two suspects were detained after a car chase in the Bryansk region, to the south-west of Moscow. The reports remain unverified.
I am willing to bet many more were killed, especially in the fire.
You reckon they would have learned from the Chechen attack at Dubrovka theatre in 2002 and many others, but as with any “good” government, they know real solutions require transferring power to the citizens and they are fearful selfish bitches when it comes to that.
Updated: Another video added (3rd in the list). If I find other relevant stuff, I will add it here.
