The Grilling While Armed Tactical Grilling and Shooting.  We’ll combine two of my favorite things in one course.   We’ll start out with how to set up your grill, how to cook direct grilling and smoking on your Weber (or other) charcoal grill.  Once the coals are lit and the meat and heat are set, we’ll do a defensive pistol course.  During the breaks from shooting, we’ll cover Pro Level, Champion Grade cooking techniques so you get the most out of your Grill.  Then we shoot some more.  And then once the smoking and grilling is done – We FEAST.  So you come away from this course, full and satisfied with grilled and smoked foods, and with the knowledge to grill and smoke your own, and with some improvement to your defensive shooting.  Okay, really this is just a day of hanging out at the range with good people and good food and enjoying the Freedom Lifestyle.

I can see myself taking this class over and over…hell, it may surpass IDPA matches if they are not careful!

Tactical BBQ Pitmasters!

A SWAT team on the campus of California State University San Marcos surrounded a staff member equipped with protective rain gear this week.

via SWAT team responds to college staff member carrying umbrella (VIDEO).

Here is the pic of the dangerous takedown:

“It was long umbrella with a strap I guess it went over the shoulder, so you can see where the confusion came from.”

Those were the words of the “reporter on the scene” and he is either making shit up as he went or there are some seriously stupid and ignorant people at California State (San Marcos.)

So basically if it has a strap and goes over the shoulder, you can expect to have Law Enforcement called on your ass. Some items with straps that go over the shoulder and may get you shot are : Brassieres, Messenger Bags, Baby Carriers and Accordions (OK, you could make the case for accordions.)

One more thing: I know SWAT was called in and they have all those wonderful toys but, can anybody explain to me why in God’s graces do they need to be muzzle sweeping every frigging student & faculty in the frigging campus?

Found in Reddit:

IIRC, your average 9mm, 124 grains rides around 1,100 feet per second or 750 miles per hour. If you go 9mm +P, then you start hitting the 830 MPH mark.

Oh yes, the speed of sound is 767 miles per hour.

Right now at you local WalMart they are selling BB pistols that deliver twice the speed of the assumed guns in the photo, no background check required.

Somebody confused their Guns and Ammo with Car and Driver.

In July 2013, Jeffery Barton, a Washington State resident, was charged with a misdemeanor for “illegally discharging a firearm.” On July 17, 2013 Barton plead “not guilty” to the charge.

This week, a few days before his jury trial was about to begin, those charges were dropped, it seems thanks in part to Vice President Joe Biden…

…Barton repeatedly told media outlets, “I did what Joe Biden told me to do. I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air.”

Sometimes you just wanna sit in a corner and hit the bottle (in my case, soda but you feel free to drink whatever spirit you want).  Wait for the next batch of idiots that are going to pull the same stunt and face jail time.
