Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
What we can learn from Canada is how to legislate common sense without violating anyone’s liberty—unless you imagine that anyone’s liberty depends on having as many weapons as he wants whenever he wants them.
Well, Duh!
And this is from somebody living in the People’s Republic of Bloombergsia (Formerly known as NYC) where a maniac tells people what to eat, drink and behave. I am guessing he is missing the incoming bulldozer for the tree.
0400: Awaken. Today is the day I make a leap into the “gaymer’s” world. IDPA. I have no clue what it stands for, but I saw it on a commercial when watching an episode of Tac-TV. Apparently, LAV even shoots it sometimes. I figured that alone made it worth trying.
0405: Coffee. Black. With gunpowder in it. Makes a man hard.
0415: Brush teeth. With Break-Free. Because, F*** You. That’s why.

The neighbors almost called police I laughed so hard….
The sad part, I have seen people like this at matches and I suspect how the second part might end.

Shooting in Oregon last August.
Lesson One: The shooter had all the indicators of not being a nice person plus the big flag having his hands where they could not be seen. Bad juju there. Turned out that he had a gun and was ready to use it.
Lesson Two: The Idjit Attacker managed to hit the magazine release and shortened his firepower. A good thing for the Oregon Trooper.
Lesson 3: The Trooper was hit but he managed to place at least one good shot on the Idjit.
Responding officers found (Trooper) Zistel suffering a gunshot wound. They found Allen’s car a half mile down the freeway, parked on the shoulder. Allen was dead, shot once in the chest.
Last I heard, Oregon State Troopers carry the Glock 22 (.40 S&W) shooting the 165 grain Remington Golden Saber round, by any standard not a bad combination. Still the Attacker managed to pick up the lost magazine, reload, get back in his car and drive for a mile. I don’t think I need to explain much.
Points to ponder…
Usually I can’t wait for guys like Tom Clancy to die….
……So another paranoid old man, another lifetime member of the NRA, another registered better-red-than-dead voter has died.

That is the way Meg Elison, Advice Columnist & Literary Beat Writer at The Daily Californian starts her “homily” to Tom Clancy. Oh but she loved his work! Just hated the individual with sheer passion.
Clancy was a Conservative, no doubt about it, but he was not too vocal about unless asked. He kept pretty much to himself writing books and getting pissed at how Hollywood screwed his work.
Ms. Elison’s column is however a good reminder that there are people out there that not only hates us for what we stand for but they want us with no vital signs if possible. And it is not simple political rhetoric but a deep conviction that they would not mind having us take a long trip inside a nice cattle car via Amtrak.
I have to remember to bring this pic up more often.

Florida Carry has become a major thorn on the side of those in Florida who chose to ignore Second Amendment Rights and the Laws that protect Gun Owners.
I cannot think of a better gift to the boogeyman of local Florida governances.
“Recognition for a job well done. Florida Carry lead attorney Eric Friday is awarded a Sig AR15 at GRPC 2013 for protecting the rights of FL gun owners.”

The incident earlier today in DC with the lady going nuts with her car is bound to disappear in the next 48 hours or maybe a wee bit longer since there was a child involved in the action.
But the initial reports of shots fired around Capitol Hill soon turned into a gun battle between the woman and everybody with a badge in DC. At times they made it sound as if she was shooting wildly down the road. As usual the initial reports were heavy on sensationalism and quite short in truth as it turned out that the only shots fired were by LEOs to stop the woman.
However, our friends did not wait to make political hay out of the incident. Unfortunately there was no blood in which to tap dance and they ended looking like idiots:
And assorted Twitter posts:
By now, tails are tuck, crow has been eaten and the bags of confetti have been relegated to the closet of bloody celebrations.
And somewhere in Indiana, tears run down the face of the Plastic Gardener as she bemoans the injustice provided by the gods. Her Iced Hazelnut Macchiato Soy Starbucks drink tastes sour all of the sudden and provides her no joy.
