Gun Free Zone

At that same gathering, my brother, his five sons and I were standing around talking.

TSA came up and we all joked about security theater.

The next topic was “Favorite knives we’ve lost to security theater.”

Turns out that all but myself have lost knives to security theater. The closest I’ve come was when I was called over because my 8 or 9 year old daughter was caught with a steak knife in her carry on.

We just tossed it. I had to explain to her that it isn’t ok to take knives through security.

This discussion lead to the “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” stage. In front of girlfriends and wives and everything.

So 7 guys. I lost count at over 25 knives being displayed. And I know damn well that not a one of us showed all of our knives.

I felt distinctly out classed in the knife realm. Having only a Cold Steel locking folder and a Gerber to show. I don’t think the Sig would have counted.

Nobody else was carrying. Even though bro has a permit to carry.

But as we have said in the past: the difference between a winner and a loser in a knife fight is that one of them dies at the scene, the other on the way to the hospital

…why we have not seen Antifa in the antisemitic demonstrations on campuses all over the country,  the reason is because they traded the black hoodies for keffiyehs.

Initially I thought it was a clever photoshop, but nope it does exist.

I had the misfortune of having to be in a household where the TV is tuned to CNN or MSNBC all the time.

Over the course of the visit I was asked to comment on the Trump trial a few times. But there was nothing on the air except how they were finally going to put Trump in jail.

I’ve watched this propaganda turn thinking people into NPCs. They seem to only be able to mouth talking points of the left, all while calling us mouth breathers or worst.

On a side note, it is always a pleasure to listen to some ignorant person mouthing off about how deadly and dangerous guns are. How nobody but the government should have them. How they would never feel safe if there was a gun near them.

All while I’m carrying.

P.S. A good pocket holster does a damn fine job of holding your pistol where it is “easy” to get to but polite company don’t notice.

The rounds hit past the suspect, the driveway about 20 feet from him and the roof’s edge again at that same distance. I wonder how many missed altogether and went over the house to parts unknown.

“Do you have gun firearms training like the police do?”
“No. My standards are much higher.”

And please do not think that the Armed Teachers Bill count: It is fugazzi. Just like in Florida, if the local School head do not allow it, no teachers will be allowed to carry.

School boards are already announcing they will put a foot down and quash any request.

Pretty much nothing good got passed and I may have not been looking in the right places, but I did not see anybody in our side even making an effort to work the legislators or keep people informed. I fear we have no Gun Right organization in the state.

Not BBQ, or any foods. Not NASCAR or College sports.

Yard sales.

I just went out to the dump convenience center; made a wrong turn on a street I don’t usually go through and there was that one sign…

I came home with this:

Old homemade lead-melting ladle because I like the look. Eastwing tac hammer, Stanley Yankee screwdriver because I cannot pass up tools in good shape.

And the sword because… it is a frigging sword.

How much for all? Less than a cheeseburger, fries and medium soda at any fast-food franchise today and will last me longer.

And it is a frigging sword, didn’t I say that already?
