I believe I am going to enjoy taking pictures in this area. Click to enlarge on all.

This reminds me of the old Opel Manta I liked when I was a young teen

They just cleared the field so I got a good shot.

“If you don’t read the newspaper, you’re uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you’re mis-informed.” ― Mark Twain

OK people, I know and probably knew it long before some of you: Sex Sells.  You don’t need to give me chapter and verse plus a whole dose by hose of Libertarian syrup. And I will go as far as admit that as a heterosexual male I do enjoy the photos in some blogs of the occasional young lady dressed very lightly and treating a long gun like it was a portable dancing pole.  A dead give away is the shorty-shorty Spandex shorts and the new tactical garter belt known as a thigh rig in the obligatory black.

But please, dear Lord, do not confuse sexy looks with knowledge and that is what I see that starting to creep here and there and that is what the meme above addresses. My guess is that in an effort to drive traffic to their website, some “gun” blogs and companies use Gun Bunnies not just for decoration but go the extra step of trying to sell them as experts. And before you protest, the scant clothing is the biggest indicator of tactical BS as anybody who has ever done the Hot Brass Dance will attest.

“But it will attract new shooters to our side!” and they will leave the moment they realize they have been brought in under false pretenses and rather than seeing sexy Monique wearing the latest Daniel Defense AR and very thin and little in the way of clothing, they are welcomed by Bob wearing tactical overalls, a scruffy beard and a thick layer of range dirt around his neck.

And I am not even going to try to delve into what women think about Gun Bunnies. If you brave enough and really wanna see somebody steamed about it, bring the subject up to Mas’ better half AKA The Evil princess.  Burn Gel might be required afterward.

Sell the sex and the sexy, just do not confuse it with firearms proficiency.

Hat Tip to whomever sent me this and apologies for forgetting who it was.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Tennessee’s first ever lifetime order of protection has been granted.

Fittingly, the woman who fought for the law was the first person given the lifetime order of protection.

Nikki Goeser’s beloved husband Ben was literally assassinated by a deranged man who was stalking the married woman.

What most people don’t realize is that victims like Goeser have to renew their order every year.

Nikki Goeser’s tragedy led her to be also a strong Second Amendment advocate. She had a concealed handgun permit the night of her husband’s murder, but they were in a Gun Free Zone so she followed the law and always wondered if things would have been different if the GFZ was not active. The killer simply ignored the law and murdered her husband.

And I do believe this law is right.  It is an unnecessary punishment for a victim to yearly relive in front of a judge the events that led to the need to obtain that order.

May this bring a little bit of peace to her and other victims.

And he is all proud to post a video where he gets to do rifle choreography and gets to muzzle the whole class.

Next time, practice Dominant Hand Only shooting while guiding the rifle gently down with your non-dominant hand so it does not knock the twins. Save the theater for when you get hired for John Wick 7.

Hat Tip Mad Ogre.

Starting in August, anyone in France entering a café, restaurant, shopping center, or hospital, or taking a long-distance train, will have to show a special COVID-19 health pass, President Emmanuel Macron announced on July 12, 2021.
The increased restrictions in public spaces are aimed at containing the rapid spread of the highly transmissible Delta variant in the country.
…
The United States is facing a similar surge of the Delta variant, with a similar vaccination rate. Is the country ready for Macron-style vaccine requirements?

France Has Strict New Vaccine Requirements, Could It Work for US? (healthline.com)

Short answer to your question is a rotund no.  Again and for those who have joined late, I support you getting a vaccine to increase your survivability if you are within the bracket of those that can croak if they get it. The missus and I have had our jabs and if you don’t want to, you are fine with us too.

But this shit of indiscriminate restrictions because people are showing in tests, not in symptoms, the presence of a virus variant without increased lethality compared to the older version, is just a purposely effort to acquire and exercise more power of the folks. Power is more addictive than fentanyl and possibly more dangerous because it tends to kill others and not the bearer.

The health pass — known officially as the EU Digital COVID Certificate — shows whether a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, received a recent negative test result, or recovered from COVID-19

I can’t shake my mind off that would be the equivalent of the Nazi Pin in Schindler’s list: a small decorative piece that showed the Nazis the wearer was a good National Socialist himself and could be trusted to carry the wishes and desires of the Party.

And anybody who wants the same thing in the US, deserves to spend some time sticky petroleum byproducts and animal plumage from his body. A forceful toss into a cold bay would need to be included.
