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.

Broward Sheriffs should avoid CNN.

Ken Jenne back when  the incoming sunset of the AWB was about to happen and conspiring to produce one of the most clear Gun Control lies ever shown on national TV.

It was the beginning of Jenne’s downfall. BSO was found fudging crime reports badly and other things like federal tax evasion and mail fraud charges to which he plead guilty and had to resign. He was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison.

And then we have our dear Scott Israel also in CNN

Now, don’t forget that by the time the Town Hall/Lynch Mob meeting happened, sheriff Israel already knew his deputy had acted cowardly and refused to go after Niki Cruz. Yet he acts all mighty and morally superior against Dana Loesch.

We only hope that Jenne’s story is repeated with Israel and we get to see him in handcuffs or at least in a very nice walk just like Jenne.

To paraphrase certain movie:

“You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is ‘Never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ but only slightly less well known is this: ‘Never go Gun Control on CNN when it can be proved you are lying.’ “

So much for accepting all types

Most folks in the Boston Pink Pistols don’t want to be in this story because they don’t want to out themselves as gun owners or advocates. They say there’s more of a stigma in Massachusetts being a gun owner than being gay.

I Just Want To Be Prepared’: Group Teaches LGBT People Gun Self-Defense

You cease to be of importance to the Left the moment you become self-reliant, specially regarding your safety.

The Tactically Sophisticated shrug noses at the latest Shooting Illustrated.

I am sorry to see this is still a thing among some alleged gun people.

I am so glad to see that the economy is so effing good, all Americans can buy a custom-made 1911 from Wilson Combat with a holster made by your craftsman of choice in unicorn hide and rivets of gold.

From the SI article:

I learned that, of all the guns displayed in the store, these were the ones flying off the shelf. Why? Well, despite its MSRP of more than $300, these guns can be found for sale under $200, a price that’s much easier to swallow than a comparable gun nearing three bills…

…Of course, to carry a gun like the Taurus G2C, you need a holster. For those on a budget, Uncle Mike’s has long been a go-to for affordable concealed-carry rigs, and the brand stays true to its consumer base with its latest Apparition holster.

You see, the idea behind the series of articles titled “I Carry” is equipment that people will carry for self-defense and not a effing tactical fashion show to impress your fellow snobs.

When I moved to the States, I could not afford even a Glock and I just happened to bump across a used Taurus Pt-92 relegated to the bottom of a display in a gun shop and just over $200.  Truth be told, I can’t remember if it had a spare mag, but the gun and a box of FMJs came home with me. Next I knew, we had a hurricane watch, people were freaking out, (us included) and wild tales of criminals roaming the streets looting were told on TV. It was all BS, of course, but new to the area, we did not know….but screw it, I had a gun.

It was the gun I used when I got started in IDPA and it was the gun I took to my first serious three-day handgun class. It had hiccups and got sent to Taurus for totally free repairs after years and thousands of rounds. And although I carry different and lighter guns with me right now, take a wild guess what’s sitting next to me at my desk  doing its faithful duty? The cheap gun I could afford.

A Taurus in hand beats a Sig Sauer in the store’s shelves.

Keeping your firearm affinities to yourself at work.

From New Jovian Thunderbolt:

Someone says something to HR because you had the same conversation at work that you’d have in the press room (and sober) of an NRA Annual Meeting and you can be out on your ear.  Unemployment

I would not go as far as being fired, but it will definitely will affect your advancement at work. Remember something: All those people who graduated from mayors Gender Studies or Socialist Flower Arrangement can only find “executive” jobs in the Huma Resources area. Unless otherwise proven, anybody working for any HR department in the US are bleeding heart liberals that fantasize having sex with Bernie and being whipped by Occasional-Cortex.

In one of the jobs I had, I made the mistake of being open about my shooting competitions and other shooting related stuff except anything politics and even the blog went unmentioned. It was eventually used against me when I applied for a supervisor position. I was called to HR to be told I did not get the position and was given to a younger, less time on the job and inexperienced kid and the excuse I was given initially was that I was hot-tempered because a small encounter I had with a company associate violating security procedures.  When I prompted how did they know about it, I was told the person had lodged a grievance when it happened, two months earlier. When I asked why wasn’t I interviewed so I could not only give my side of the story and interview the witness who was there and could confirm my side.  She started babbling stuff that did not make sense about not being one thing but a bunch of little ones and then it escaped her lips: “Your training.”

It took me a bit to process what she meant by it and then it dawned on me she meant my shooting matches. I asked her and she went around the mulberry bush but never denied it. Since the die was already cast and the position filled, I thanked her for her time with exquisite politeness and left HR.  I continued to be very formal and very polite with her every time we crossed paths which made her very nervous but there was nothing she could do. A couple of months later, there was an investigation in her office and she resigned unexpectedly.

Even my boss set me up, or tried. the company building was going to be closed for six months for renovation. Some of the associates were sent to other locations, some were told they would come back and given a six month not-severance package and the rest were just given the severance package plus vacation and sick time and said nothing about coming back. We were essentially dismissed. After the building was empty, some of us were told we were needed for 12 hour fire watch for a period of about 2 weeks while they emptied the place and prepped everything for the renovation.  I got about 5 days including the first and  last. It was a simple thing: you stayed next to the fire panel and just keep an eye on alarms going off. The day before the first night, my boss explained to me what was it about and made the comment “I wouldn’t do this shit unarmed.” and left it like that.

By now I knew it was a set up. If I was fired, I did not get my severance package and his office budget would look better. I also knew I was going to be under a surveillance camera all the time while on duty and I am sure he accessed remotely thinking he would catch me in the act of fondling my gun.  I got confirmation later on by a third-party and he was disappointed I did not bring with me a gun.

Apropos of nothing, let us always remember that when you carry concealed, it  means concealed.

So, after a very long and boring tirade, don’t mention shit at work about your gun proclivities. Exception to be made if you work for the gun industry , of course, otherwise you would be weird and sent to HR with reason.

 

Florida Concealed Weapons Report 2018. Not yet with the 2 million.

People that come or trace their origins to the North West region of Spain (Galicia) are supposed to be the Spanish version of the Polish jokes: Hard working and nice people (till you piss us off) but sometime dumb as rocks.

Guess where your kind host traces his lineage? Yup.

I confess that I have been misreading the CWP report and thinking the totals for the year were the new monthly additions. Boy do I feel like a gigantic idiot.

Anyway. we came up short the two million by 46K and change.

Still we are the state with more Concealed Weapons permits in the Union.  We should start bothering fellow Floridians with guns and tell them to get their CWP if nothing else to bypass the stupid 3 day waiting period and to avoid pitfalls that come with not having one.

Let’s Make 2019 the year of the 2 million if only to annoy the Democrats bot state and nation-wide who help put a pothead in charge.

 

 

Parkland “Survivor” David Hogg.

We know David Hogg was in school the day Niki Cruz did his massacre, but exactly where? His video inside a classroom where he tell the time and that he heard a shot is well after Cruz had stopped shooting and was no longer in the premises. In interviews, he mentions a custodian hero who herded everybody back inside, but that did not happen in Building 12, but possibly in Building 6 or 7 according to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Commission Report.

Building 12 is called the Freshmen Building and Hogg was a senior and was taking some Advanced environmental class when the shooting happened. It has never been defined where was hoe in school, but there is a great probability he was not in Building 12, same as Emma Gonzalez who was in the auditorium (building 8) when it the shooting happened.

Just my thoughts on this labeling as survivor just because you were in the same zip code. .

Florida: HB 175 – Firearms (AKA, Reversing all the Gun B.S. passed with SB7026)

Click here for the text of HB 175

Summary:

Firearms: Removes provisions authorizing seizure of firearms from persons in certain circumstances; removes prohibition on firearms ownership or possession until removal of firearm possession & firearm ownership disability; removes prohibition on persons younger than 21 years of age purchasing firearms; eliminates waiting period for purchases of firearms other than handguns; removes ban on bump-fire stocks; removes provisions providing for risk protection orders.

Rep. Walter Bryan “Mike” Hill, R-Pensacola Beach.

I have to say this: Mike sure has a set of danglers or he has seen how pissed off Florida Gun Owners were and are about SB7026. I think the Parkland Report may be useful for more than fortifying schools after all.
