Palmettos State is running a great sale:
If you know a person that need a starter firearm and is short on cash, this is the way I would get them started. And even the Glock cultists cannot complain because 10 frigging G19 mags come with the darn package for later upgrades to the Austrian Wunder BangBang.
J. Kb sent me this article: Hilton, Holiday Inn allegedly let predators into women’s rooms: lawsuits (nypost.com).
Horrifying cases of women being raped in their rooms at top hotel chains are occurring because staff are allegedly handing over keys to sexual predators unchecked, The Post can reveal.
In two separate cases in Texas, men allegedly broke into women’s rooms after lying to staff to obtain keycards.
In an even more shocking incident, one man was allegedly able to convince police and hotel staff to deliver his victim to his room at a Hilton-owned property.
Back when I worked hotel security, the fastest way for anybody to get his/her ass on the street besides stealing from a guest was to give somebody access to a room without proper verification. If the person was not registered to the room, access was automatically denied. It made some people mad, but the risk of having somebody raped or killed was simply too much for the bean counters to accept.
That being said: shit will happen because workers suck, are tired or have momentary lapses of high-grade stupidity like leaving master keys unattended. It always made me a bit upset that women, knowing they could be targeted, did not care much about being safe. In all my years, I only got one request from a female to escort her to her room and she actually had a tac light with her which she used to check the room from top to bottom before settling for the night.
Hotels are locations with multiple access points and most of them are not secured from uninvited access. Move around as if you were in enemy territory, head on a swivel at all times and prepared to repeal attackers. Never give away your room number to anybody and don’t charge anything to your room so people nearby do not know where you are. And above all, do not trust the locks and “security” devices that come with the doors (or even the doors) as there are many ways to bypass them. A security door jammer that uses the floor to resist attacks is the one I would recommend as I am not too sure about devices that attack to the lock and doorjamb. And as extra security, you may want to place a chair and luggage or whatever bulky objects are available against the door to slow down anybody who manages to break in. Noise is an ally and early warning is a good thing so you can access the legal tool of your defense.
And don’t forget: Just because you are away from home, does not mean you get to act like a fool. You are in a strange land, strange building and more than likely have zero idea of the behavior of the locals.
In case you missed the news, the President of Mexico is trying to influence Americans to vote against Republicans who want to declare war on the Mexican drug cartels.
Personally, after killing hundreds of thousands of Americans with drugs, I’m all for tactically nuking the cartels.
Even if you don’t care about hard drug addicts on the streets, mixing fentanyl with prescription drugs and selling them on the streets where they are killing young people is worthy of getting your country obliterated by radioactive death.
The President of Mexico is obviously getting kickbacks from the cartels. He’s a puppet leader of a failed narco-state.
But if you want to understand the state of American politics, know that the chair of Newtown Action is supporting the President of Mexico over Americans because guns.
I fully support President of Mexico initiating a campaign in the U.S. against all Republicans who have worked with the U.S. gun lobby/industry to arm the Mexican drug cartel with assault weapons. The Mexican & U.S, citizens deserve to live w/o gun violence. #StopArmsTrafficking https://t.co/EYZC6Oqi89

I’ve seen videos of cartel violence in Mexico.
The cartels are using full auto military weapons.
The cartels are multi billion dollar international criminal enterprises, they are buying military weapons from corrupt Mexican military personnel, the Columbian military, and Asia.
The guns the cartels got from the US was from Obama smuggling them in with the Fast and Furious debacle.
But that’s inconvenient to the narrative that if we just shut down American gun stores, the cartels would run out of guns.
So anti-gun activists are siding with the cartel puppet in chief of Mexico against American citizens.
You shouldn’t be able to buy guns because that will somehow stop Columbian military officers from selling machine guns to the cartels.
I have heard about these toys before, but I had to find a video of them in action.
Jesus Wept! I would be ashamed of being paraded in social media as the cop who stole this toy from a kid or teen or even an adult. The comments are rightfully indignant.
Virginia? I have no idea. Florida does not have UNC nor the version o0f Safe Storage that she is trying to push which has already been found unconstitutional by Heller.
But they need to lie to push their agenda. Law Abiding Gun Owners are easy political prey….or so she thinks.
I think I tried meatloaf once in college. It was cafteria meatloaf which needless to say was dry and flavorless. A total waste of good hamburger meat. A couple of weeks ago, I saw this video:
And I went ahead and tried it today.
It does not look as pretty as the one above, but it tasted damned good and it was juicy. I have three more pans in the freezer with different combinations of amounts and seasonings reserved for future days.
