Gun Free Zone

From what understand, the driver just got fed up with the riders for clogging the street on purpose. The Two Wheelers partake on a event called Critical Mass which is “celebrated” all over the world on the last Friday of the month and just see what kind of traffic mayhem can they achieve in the name of whatever environmental/Progressive/Left Wing/Anarchist excuse they can come up with.

There is no doubt that the driver was wrong and should be prosecuted to the full extent, but the way cyclist behave nowadays I am amazed that they are not scrapped off the pavement more often. Mind you, these are not you average family member out for a healthy exercise or even work but  a bunch of idiots in two wheels smelling like patchouli.

The coalition isn’t affiliated with Critical Mass. Rather, in the words of one bicycle advocate, it operates as Sinn Fein, the Irish political party, does to the more shadowy Irish Republican Army.

Critical Massers grind their gears at that comparison. Carlsson prefers casting the Mass as Earth First to the coalition’s Sierra Club. They’re the radicals who make the progressives seem more mainstream.

When I was learning how to drive back then in the era of steam powered cars, the best advice I ever got about treating bicyclist was a quote from legendary Edouard Louis Joseph, Baron Merckx also known as Eddie Merckx, multiple winner of the Tour de France: “Give them enough space to fall.” which means give them enough space for a safe ride and I am all for that.

But what I am not for is a group of idiots taking over the streets doing exactly what they accuse drivers of doing and worse. Unless you happen to be an octogenarian in South Florida who confused the gas pedal with the brake, rarely you will see a car ridding down a sidewalk ignoring the rights of the pedestrian and putting people in danger. Traffic lights? Optional. School Zone speed limit? They have no idea what that means. Driving the wrong way in a one-ways street against the law? Surely you jest sir!

Checking on several cyclist forums, the Critical Mass bunch is seen as a blight and a direct cause for antagonism between drivers and cyclists. And I have to agree, just because you pedal, you don’t get special rights and are above the law so I’ll be one protesting loudly if my tax dollars are to be used on special lanes or free parking for idiots that do not respect their fellow commuters regardless of their means of transportation.  Plus, if you are stupid enough to ignore not only the laws of Man but the Laws of Physics and feel like playing chicken with a ton or more worth of metal at any speed, you deserve be retrieved with a spatula from the street.

To both our amazement, her Concealed Weapons Permit arrived 8 days after she applied for it. Florida has it down pat.
We’ll be taking our first dual packing stroll sometime tomorrow.

The cat was totally unimpressed which is par for cats.

In the name of the environment and safety.

Future changes will involve using merry go round horsies made out of recycled shopping bags and fencing with dust feathers.

He was just helping move a girlfriend out of the Big Apple but got stopped by the police and D.A. Cy (I’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse) Vance tried to nail him to the wall. Fortunately the Jury found him innocent much to the ire of No-Knife Vance.

“We respect the jury’s verdict in this case, of course, and thank them for their service. But we will continue to protect our community from those who illegally possess loaded guns in Manhattan. Any possession of a loaded firearm in this metropolitan area has the potential for deadly consequences, to our residents and visitors alike.”

The guy is a serious douchebag. He has his own racketeering scheme going on against knife vendors that would make Vito Corleone and John Gotti green with envy.

I bought the Missus a Sibari Hun Side Bag at her request.  It does not look like your usual fanny pack, has a shoulder strap with pad and comes in a gray that looks more blue than anything.

However I was less than impressed with the “holster” that came with the bag. The kindest thing I can say is that it looks like half a sock made out of Velcro.

The bag also lacks a mag pouch in the gun compartment and that did not sit well with yours truly. So I pulled out the assorted tools, jigsaw, heat gun, sticky Velcro patches, dremmel and leftover Kydex (must order more soon) to make a quickie holster for the Missus’s Kahr CW9. The result was not bad at all if I might say so myself.

I did say leftover kydex! the back of the holster and the tongue of the mag pouch are completely covered in the hook side of the Velcro and attaches to the very generous loop side in the bag. There is a retention screw in the holster to add just the slightest pressure so the gun does not shift or comes out. The natural spring tension of the Kydex was enough for the magazine.

We’ll see how it holds in real life.

FTC or FCC or whatever disclaimer: I bought the darn thing with my own cash. I don’t know the people of Sibari and after the half Velcro Sock comment, I am sure they will not want to know me either.

Can we have all three options applied?
