Nairobi: From Wesgate Mall to Dusit D2 Hotel. IDPA Civilian Shooter Steps Up again.

“Shooter Ready?…Stand By!”

You may remember when I posted about an IDPA shooter going in Westgate Mall when it was subject of a terrorist attack back in 2013.

 

Back then I could never find out his name and I even emailed the only IDPA club in Kenya without a response. But just now I found out the gentleman’s name is Inayat Kassam and he, once again stepped up to the plate and got involved in the latest attack in Nairobi’s Dusit D2 Hotel rescuing victims.

He is being called the Nairobi superhero and I reckon he earned the title.


Some heroes do not wear capes but shooting vests with IDPA logos.

Well done Mr. Kassam. You make all of IDPA proud.

I might be too old fashioned for smartphone drivers license.

People with more legal instruction will probably be better at explaining why surrendering an open smart phone to a police officer is a bad idea when it comes to giving evidence that can be used against you in a court of law and all that.  And if your phone is set to automatic lock down after so many minutes of inactivity or being away from your safe area, then you may be accused of tampering with the evidence or some other stuff, I don’t know.

But for me, a person that carries concealed and understands that informing an officer is both a good strategy and potentially dangerous, I will stick to the procedure I decided upon after a bit (lot) of thinking: I just hand the initial batch of documents and advise the officer without having to say anything out loud.

Drivers license, insurance and CWP stay together in my wallet and come out together in case of need. I leave the insurance in the middle in case I just need to present the DL for some reason and the insurance blocks the view of the CWP.

Will I keep a copy of my license and insurance in my phone? Probably, but that is just in case of emergency, not first choice if I get pulled over or challenged by a LEO.

BJS cuts the legs off Universal Background Checks.

A couple of days ago, I posted about Florida State Representative Margaret Good and her bill trying to get Universal Background Checks in our fair state.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics just published its latest version of Source and Use of Firearms Involved in Crimes: Survey of Prison Inmates, 2016. It comes with some very interesting numbers:

Wait, it gets better.

And still some more.

What a surprise! Black market and stolen firearms make 49.6% of how criminals get their guns. A quarter of the guns are obtained from somebody they know like family member. And only 10.1% from the legal sources the Democrats hate the most. The Gun Show loophole? Statistically so small it is useless. Now you can slap the next idiot who uses it as excuse.

One thing I don’t see: Those pesky “unregulated”  internet sales between those “unlicensed dealers” (citizens) that we were told were fueling violent crime. Maybe the poor criminals do not have access to the Internet and that is why they don’t shop in Gunbroker.com on Guns America.

Now, they will try to use the Purchased/Borrowed part as excuse, but let’s not forget that knowingly selling or giving a firearm to a felon is already illegal and the same is providing a firearm to somebody you know it is going to commit a felony.

This needs to get sent to legislator who is even considering UBCs. Fo us in Florida, we need to start killing this one today.  Click here to take you to the Florida House page where you can find your representative. You know what to do next,

Nairobi Terrorist attack (again)

Still developing.

At least two blasts and gunfire were heard at the compound in the Westland district of the city, which houses the DusitD2 hotel as well as offices.
The Somali-based militant group al-Shabab claimed the attack but gave no details. Four armed men entered the complex, eyewitnesses say.
People are leaving the site escorted by heavily armed officers. One man was led out with a gunshot wound in the back.

In the same city of the Westgate Mall attack, but it seems this time they went the way of the Taj Hotel and general mayhem in Mumbai.

 

 

Toxic Masculinity is a Liberal product.

After reading J. Kb’s great post, I had to add something that has been going around in my mind for a while now.

I would be a fool if I denied there has not been abuses on the weak. That is nothing that can be discussed or denied.  But it has been the Liberal Thinking that has helped produce more bullies and more sexual abusers than anything else. Free Love in the 60s? Hey ladies, you were supposed to fuck unfettered or risk being shamed as a prude who was not with the movement, right? Sex is beautiful, open your mind and your legs, don’t be square. If you feel bad, it is your fault because you are still carrying your parents wrong ideas about what a woman should be. You are a woman, hear me roar. Feminism is sex without responsibility and we want the pill and free abortions. Fucking for Peace and the end of the Vietnam war and all that other good shit.  And this is the same Feminist movement that criticized Playboy and later Hooters, but mostly because they would not submit to their bullshit.  Of course, now that Hefner died the CEO decided to go SJW and Playboy no longer publishes nudes because the idiot probably believed people bought the magazine for the articles.

Fast forward 40 years later and suddenly (just like they did with global warming/cooling) we have the #MeToo movement and its predecessor “No means No.” You raise a full generation on the principle that sex is a right to be exercised now and women must submit ’cause feminism and then flip the switch once you can see the political gain in it.

And abused women? Also became a joke. I was raised under the principle of not harming a woman in any way, shape or fashion and not to accept anybody else do the same. A wife beater deserved a long and precise tune up my kin and friends of the abuse, followed by a nice trip to court for the divorce procedure.  But this attitude was squashed by the old mantra “Violence does not solve anything” and “Let the law take care of things” which meant she was supposed to get a restraining order and hope “beloved” did not come back to finish the job because she also had to wait between 3 to 10 days to get a gun for her defense.  How many cases like this have we seen through the years with a most unpleasant ending?

And then bullying. has anybody found yet a fireproof kumbaya system to stop bullies torture other kids? I think the system is batting a huge fat zero on that one.   The only proven method to stop a bully is to confront the asshole and make him bleed if possible. How many people have repeated the same story? “I was bullied by Jimmy Nasty for years, but he quit after I broke his nose/kick him in the balls/broke his arm.”  I know it was my solution with three bullies I had: With one I lost the fight but he respected me after that. The second was sent home with nose and lips leaking red stuff and the third one, I tried to stick his head out the school bus window without lowering it first. I was told stitches were involved. There were no more attempts against my person and nobody dared to bully anybody else in front of me or they knew I would lose my composure.  But the way I did things are not approved today because it involves violence, as if there was not violence already present in the issue.

The Liberal Hive Mind works at its best when a problem needs to be fixed. And problems are not found, they are experts at creating new problems so they never run out of outrage and people-controlling solutions. If an individual managed to fix his problem without their help, by definition the individual did it wrong and must be corrected.

Teach your boy two things. First a quote from The Shootist:

I Won’t Be Wronged. I Won’t Be Insulted. I Won’t Be Laid A-hand On. I Don’t Do These Things to Other People, and I Require the Same From Them.

The second was something I was taught by my mother since I was a little kid:

Now matter how angry you get, a woman is not to be touched even with the petal of a rose.

I figure those two pretty much are enough guidelines for public behavior.

 

My lab work is back & some Texans may not like it.

The results are amazingly good but for a couple of things and barely off scale. One of those things is I am low in what is called MCH which is “the average quantity of hemoglobin present in a single red blood cell.”

I have a touch of anemia. You may begin to laugh now.

It makes sense in a way: I cut down red meats two years ago to almost nothing but maybe one or two juicy steaks a quarter. All the bad stuff associated with red meat excess is in great shape according to the lab test including cholesterols so low they can almost claim minority status.

I checked online and saw that liver is a good source of iron which is what I need to fix this thing. I love me some liver and onions so that is coming. But the perfect combination of red meat and beans can also be ingested to heal my condition, but my Texan friends frown on it (actually hate it) , but there is nothing they can do:

Chili with beans…with a prescription.

I believe Old NFO will be sending me Iron supplements just so I don’t cook the “abomination” in the name of health. LOL
