Gun Free Zone

The same Department of Justice that knowingly allowed weapons to end up in the hands of Mexican Cartels and went on to murder over 300 Mexican citizens is the same Department of Justice that will investigate George Zimmerman for possible violations of the civil rights of Trayvon Martin.

No matter how you look at it, you know they are gonna screw that pooch.

Miami-Dade Police Department was ready for action:

Of course, reality was another thing:

Love the keywords: Due to inactivity, not that the peaceful protest was over or that they were done raising hell and went home, nope: inactivity as in nobody came or gave two turds.

Yes, they tried (and are still trying) to manufacture violence. Problem is nobody is buying because they are not interested into buying a fake product (I hope that is the majority) or the price might be too frigging steep to pay.

For the last several days I’ve been getting unsolicited emails from a moron that identifies himself as Donald Hayes.

“my name is Donald i seal the best of guns and bullet i promise to give you the best of guns and bullet.”

Yup, just like that. He also includes some attachments that are apparently pics and even though the anti-virus did not kick in, I don’t feel like opening.

I tried to tell Mr. Hayes that I am not interested, but he kept insisting. Then I told him “Thank you Mr. ATF agent, I am not playing.” but he played fool and kept emailing. Tired of the BS, I asked him for a copy of his FFL to which he admitted he did not have one but he has a buddy with a gun shop. That led me to ask him to get me a copy of his buddy’s FFL and he ignored me and repeated that he “seals best guns.”

So the guy is some idiot troll unaware that by offering to sell me guns and ammunition, he is breaking Federal Law and that he can land his pretty arse in Fed prison or it is an ATF/MAIG Investigator/CBI/NYPD or some other agent trying to do some entrapment for fun and money.

He uses the email lonelydonald0@gmail.com which stops at Google in CA.

Some of his memorable writings are:

“what the you min that”

“come and buy your guns and bullet”

“Hi i have a new gun the latest one if i can see some one who need it i we seal”

OK seriously, if this is a Fed, his education is less than the guys writing the Nigerian Bank scams. That is pitiful. I am gonna give him a couple of days in case he comes up with a copy of a FFL stolen from who knows where and then he gets the filter into the great email void.

You get in your vehicle to go to the store. Far away you see an individual in your neighborhood that does not look kosher and decide to check it out. The suspect goes into an area that you can’t drive in and you make the decision to follow on foot at what you think is a safe distance…but it turns out not to be. Mayhem happens.

This is just speculation on my part, but last night I was wondering if things would have turned out different if Zimmerman had a good Tac Light with him. From the crime scene photos I have seen, the area was poorly illuminated (Understandable, nobody wants a million candlepower sodium light shinning through their bedroom window) and possibly Zimmerman got too close to Martin because he simply could not see ahead enough.

I have been carrying a Surefire 6P everyday for 7 years and I think about 2 years ago I upgraded from the 60 lumens incandescent bulb that came with it to a Cree LED with an output of 140 lumens or something in that area. With both outputs, I had some encounters with less desirable members of society yet not violent enough to go to other measures and the use of the light came in very handy: If they can’t see you, they can’t hit you. Hit them in the eyes with the light as you move…Light und Move, Ja?

Also, if you have a light, you can illuminate dark corners or spots where somebody can be hiding taking advantage of the darkness. Criminals like roaches, do not have the light shined upon them. Whatever can give you the advantage of distance, will help you avoid bleeding and possible visits to the ER or the rooms below the hospital.

More and more states are considering what used to be Less-Than-Lethal weapons (tasers and pepper sprays) as Lethal weapons and their usage may get you an assault with a deadly weapon charge (Check your local listings) so their effectiveness in de-escalating a situation without having to go drastic is legally denied and you still can get your butt kicked.  Light so far are not categorized as weapons if you use them as illuminating tool to check their condition of their retinas. I am not a fan of the striking/defensive bezel (front with teeth) that some lights have because some prosecutor or judge may consider it an offensive weapon rather than a defensive one. Plus I hear they are murder on clothing, specially the pockets.

Do buy yourself a good light from a recognized brand. Don’t go the cheap route and get that 3-pack combo that can be found on the cashier’s bin at the Home Depot as they will fail you the moment you need them the most. Surefire, Streamlight, Fenix and Inova are some of the brands that professionals use because the will withstand abuse and keep working. And do buy GOOD batteries that are intended for flashlight use only. many of those light use 123A lithium batteries designed for that use. Do not go the Kodak or Radio Shack way because those are designed for cameras that have a completely different type of usage plus they die faster and cost several times more. I use the Surefire Batteries and love them. Keep spares handy as they will give you about 2 warnings and then go bye-bye. The 12-pack is about $24 in the interwebs shopping places for tacticool peoples.

And, of course: The more lumens, the better! The farther you can see at night or in dark places, the much better (I love my writing composition today) and if you can scorch the eyebrows of a possible bad guy at 30 yards, you are doing it right.

Get your good light & carry it every day.

My line for this the verdict has been, if an educated and reasonably respected prosecutor can’t convince 6 mothers that a man murdered a child, he probably didn’t…

I can’t argue with that thought.

Yes, I am late but I work nights.

More on the verdict and the reactions tomorrow. It is not all said and done with this case.
