This is why I can’t go to Italy
Between the food and the Beretta factory I’d come back with no money and no clothes that fit.
What the hell is going on with .30-30 Win ammo?
Mi Brother in Law has asked me to look for 30-30 since it is one of his go-to calibers for hunting. I have pretty much determined that there is not a round for sale in Rutherford county after visiting anything that may be related to guns. The people working in the establishments have told me they have not received 30-30 in a very long time nor tell you if they will ever get another box.
Prior to the Clinton administration and their AWB, 30-30 was the most popular long gun in the country and therefore an ample supply of the cartridge should be available. I’d say it is now the second most popular long gun or if you push it, maybe the third if you include rimfire in the list
I can find 5.56 and I can lay my hands on bricks of .22LR, but 30-30? Zilch.
I went to check on ammoseek.com and Dear God and small puppies! WTF? Starting prices are $2.50 per round? That is insane. Does anybody have an explanation for this?
I did a quick calculation: Buying the dies, bullets, brass, one pound of powder and 1000 primers (minimum I saw online) to load 100 rounds would come to $2.40 per round and I would still be left with with 900 primers and over half a pound of propellant. If I up the number to 200 rounds, the price drops to $1.50 per round.
I am going to have to get my B-i-L to start reloading his ammo. Plus he need a relaxing hobby, Lord knows he works too hard.
Kenosha Police Officer who paralyzed Jacob Blake is cleared by the Feds.
Civil rights charges will not be pursued against the Wisconsin police officer who shot Jacob Blake last year, partially paralyzing him, the Department of Justice announced Friday.
Kenosha Police Officer Rusten Sheskey, who is white, fired seven times at Blake, who is Black, on Aug. 23, 2020, after responding to a report of a domestic dispute, authorities said.
Following an investigation, federal prosecutors said the evidence obtained was insufficient to prove Sheskey “willfully used excessive force,” the DOJ said in a statement.
Officer who shot Jacob Blake won’t face civil rights charges, DOJ says – ABC News (go.com)
The same Feds that are going after parents as terrorists for loudly voicing their opinions at PTA meetings and treating Americans as parishioners of war for trespassing in Congress on Jan 6 could not find enough evidence to indict Officer Sheskey who already had been cleared by the local Prosecutor and his own department.
The father of Jacob Blake had this to say:
“I was expecting more from the administration than this. I was expecting much more than this,” he said. “I believe that we’re in a systematic racist system, and that this system was not set up for us. So I didn’t expect the system to work for us, because it never works for us. It wasn’t made for us.”
Blake’s father said he disagrees that Sheskey didn’t willfully use excessive force.
“Seven times in the back is excessive,” he said. “I don’t care if you’re a dog. Seven times in the back, that’s not excessive?”
Basically he was stating that the current federal officials, since thy openly curry the Black vote, should have gone and imprisoned the officer even though the evidence simply did not exist of his guilt. And then he blames racism and the usual platitudes. And no, seven shots in the back are not excessive force if that is what it took to stop Blake. The question is never the number of shots but if they were shot during or after the the attack. You can shoot one bad guy once in the front and ceases being a threat, shooting him again makes you now a criminal. That was only 2 shots, but the second one was excessive and so was your use of force.
So, what is going to happen in Kenosha? Is BLM going to go out and “almost peacefully” protest or their expiration date is past and are too busy buying multi million homes?
We will see.

So I was decorating for the season.
And recycling old stuff I had and removed a squirrel feeder to use the standing hook.
And an appropriate comment from Facebook penned by Charlie Foxtrot:

It does not wash away that fast, if ever!
A deserved candidate for lifetime Distance Schooling.
As in behind bars.
A disabled teacher at a Louisiana high school was hospitalized after a female student punched the unsuspecting educator in the face as the incident was filmed and posted online in what cops suspect was part of the ‘slap a teacher’ TikTok challenge.
In the video posted to TikTok on Wednesday, the unidentified 64-year-old English teacher at Covington High School is seen sitting at her desk in a near-empty classroom talking to Larianna Jackson, 18, after the dismissal bell rang.
About 20 seconds into the video, Jackson suddenly wallops the woman in the face and repeatedly strikes her, sending the teacher sprawling off her chair and onto the ground. (Video in the link)
The face of somebody who know there won’t be consequences for her behavior. This is what we have allowed to create in schools.
Can we go ahead and open a prisoner compound/reserve in the middle of Alaska where we can drop elements of society like this and forget about them?
