Gov. Greg Abbott has pardoned U.S. Army Sergeant Daniel Perry following a recommendation of pardon and restoration of his firearm rights by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles.
The board voted unanimously on the recommendation.

A 5 meter (a squish over 5 tards for those Metric impaired) from a rifle shooting a 5.56 round flying a 3K fps will be devastating and truly incapacitating one inch up or down. The bigger the rifle caliber, the bigger the skull canoe will be achieved.
I believe the poster simply ignored the transference of energy from the round into the body and the hydrodynamics that come with it and probably believes that bullet wounds are perfect cylindrical little holes like cut with a laser with no effect on the surrounding tissue and organs.
Top of my head (pun intended) we have the killing of Bugsy Siegel where the head shot taken with an M1 carbine made his eyeballs pop out of his skull.
And I predict it will not go well.
I cut off the premium cable channels decades ago. I am down to Amazon Video, BluRay/DVD* and Youtube for most of my visual entertainment. We do have Comcast, but it is mostly for the few classic TV shows and movie channels my MiL loves, otherwise, I would kill the service.

Talk about prejudiced images of people. I am still trying to figure out if he thinks the swam across the Rio Grande or the Florida Strait to get to NYC.
And the Mississippi too.
And when they finished their lifeguard duties, he probably expects them to deliver him food in between mowing lawns.

DENVER (KDVR) — A new billboard along Alameda Avenue and Pecos Street is causing a stir in Denver.
The Laramie County Sheriff’s Office in Wyoming paid for the billboard to recruit deputies while throwing shade at Denver leaders.
In an exclusive interview, FOX31’s Talya Cunningham asked the sheriff about his decision to make the billboard. Sheriff Brian Kozak stands by his decision to cross state lines and pay $2,500 to put up this message on a billboard in Denver, “Work in Wyoming where breaking the law is still illegal and cops are funded.”
It’s National Police Week, and this billboard went up on Sunday, sending a clear message.
Kozak said they’ve been successfully recruiting in Denver for some time now, and this is all part of a marketing campaign.

Denver is the L.A. of the Rockies, so nobody is actually surprised that they do Liberal crap on local LEOs.
The sheriff’s office posted the billboard on social media with a caption that reads in part, “National media reported the City of Denver, on the other hand, decided to defund the police $8 million to fund immigrant shelters and restrict the ability for cops to enforce traffic laws…”
That does not surprise anybody. nor the response from the Denver leaders that sound like your standard CYA Doublespeak.
The city, however, is punching back.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s office responded, saying in part, “The Denver Police Department’s budget was carefully crafted with safety leaders and Mayor Johnston to ensure there would be no impact to the department’s public services. To say that Denver is ‘defunding the police’ is a willful mischaracterization of the budget reductions.”
At the end, who do you believe? The Leaders of Denver or…
It appears the marketing tactic may be working. The sheriff said they’ve already received 40 new applications.
I think the only controversy is the BS faux story.

I see that enclosure and fortification is not precisely a word that comes to mind. I believe they have watched too many Instagram videos of dumb builders doing stuff with pallets and they thought it would translate to their little fort.
One asshole with a Bic and their pretentions will go up in smoke.
I wanted to get back to competition shooting, but it seems Middle TN does not have an active club that runs either IDPA or USPS that I could find. There are allegedly clubs over an hour away from the Boro, but the one I checked turned out to be 3 guys showing up to bullshit about everything and anything rather than a formal match.
About the only competition is over Outpost Armory, but it is one Thursday afternoon a month and I am working then.
“Why don’t you start your own club?” Because it is not cheap, I am done working for free and people who work matches rarely get to shoot in them. If I am not going to shoot, I rather save the aggravation and money.
Anyway, I guess I will have to trespass over my BiL and SiL, set up some targets and send some lead in their property one of these days.
Without shooting the horses.
