Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Finally putting some lead downrange

May the winds and the birds allow it, tomorrow I’ll be shooting my first IDPA match in years. In fact I have not shot since before the last rules came in allegedly making IDPA into USPSA Light. I’ll see what’s what tomorrow.

If they don’t run me out before first the safety briefing is over, I’ll be shooting with Volunteer Pistol Club sometime after noon.  Found my range bag, I have some of my old reloads and the rest of the accouterments are already packed.

Please Lord, don’t let me suck too bad.

Why do I detect the wafting smell of horse manure?

HOSPITALS ARE FULL

VUMC ran out of hospital beds Wednesday, and Dr. Karp believes it will happen again.

“We are converting units as best as we can, we are using units for overnight stays whenever we can, we’re putting patients in short-stay areas whenever we can. All of the hospitals are full and I think this is the message- this is not just Vanderbilt,” he explained.

Damn, that is awful! How many people are sick with the Chink Flu at Vandy Hospital?

Less than four weeks ago VUMC’s 7-hospital system was caring for a total of 10 patients admitted for COVID-19. By Thursday, a total of 83 patients were battling the virus in VUMC hospitals, according to an internal memo.

Wait one second, this hospital, Vanderbilt hospital, the premier and biggest hospital in Tennessee has only 83 beds?

I believe they are trying to bullshit themselves into more funding by participating the COVID Theater of Fear.

So I went to this little gun shop called The Outpost Armory.

Oh sweet Louise… The Outpost Armory.

Saying that the place is huge would be shortchanging it. The pic above just shows less than half of the building. And then you walk in and start crying, OK, I did.

What you see in the back on the right is their range. I saw IIRC 14 lanes, top of the line and later I found out they even have two 100 yard positions. Yikes!

You may know the owners as they also build some rifles you may have heard about:

Yup, those Barrets.

And this is Carl the guy who will be responsible for my death or early divorce because he keeps taking me to places like this. This photo is taken from almost one end of the store and the middle is what you see at the end: The entrance to the range.

They had just about any kind of gun imaginable plus ammo, knives and the rest of everything that could make a shooter happy.

This is just a part of the rifle wall.

And a view of the range from outside.

This broke my will and I was ready to break coinage, but unfortunately the little guy was not for sale.

Price wise? Even Gun Country Tennessee is showing the drought prices. Some things I saw that were less than back in South Florida and even online.

I need to hit the lotto.
