So when the next Assault Weapons Ban Happens

And Barry outlaws such machinery (if he can,.... and the big question: if our legislators will roll over and let him...)...

What are you gonna do?

Bury 'em in the backyard? (We will get to that later).....

Turn 'em in like the Australians did?

Really, what are ya gonna do?

A lot of New Yorkers chose to Not Comply with the "Safe Act"...
Now, apparently, (and, illegally, I think) somehow the NY State Police have 4473's....the better to knock your door down with a search warrant some evening....

Unless you have done a great job of hiding 'em, they'll find 'em. And charge you...and fine or incarcerate you.  Best have a plan and have 'em (and the ammo) hidden well.....very well.





I, for one, believe that if the time has come to hide/bury those firearms, then it is past time to use 'em instead....

But I have also taken the time over the years to make several cache areas....some near my home, some elsewhere....in order that I have options and time to plan.

All cache areas are well salted with scrap iron. Steel and aluminum washers, short (and long) bits of rebar, and allthread....some an inch long, some a foot or two....some 16 and 20 inches long. Lots of buried wire that is (oddly enough) about 20" long...the same general length of a barrel and receiver. lots of aluminum cans and small blocks of aluminum.... Lots of empty cases buried or pushed into the ground. sometimes in groups of 20 or 30....(I pick 'em up from the trash at the public ranges)...even a few buried ammo boxes here and there....

How many false positives before the searchers give up? How many pieces of 3/8" or 1/4" steel pipe buried in PVC tubes before they choose other locations? (A posthole digger is your friend here, BTW.... And this is work. Hard work) I'm not saying that ground penetrating radar wouldn't be an aid to them, but I have done can do a lot to make even that form of detection harder.....

So. Can. You.

Laying false trails makes 'em waste valuable manpower...and if they are wasting time on your well-seeded possible stash areas, they aren't looking at your neighbors or compatriots. ....Giving them time to do something. Even giving them time to think how hard they are willing to resist.


Next time you go to the hardware store/Lowes/Home Depot, ask the plumbing department for their mistakes and cutoffs......Might be you can walk out with a bunch of scrap for nothing...Seed several areas. Same-same with your neighbors recyclables. Your workshop scrap? Same-same...

Yes, it is littering. Done in a good cause.

I figure over the years I have left thousands of false triggers for the metal detectors and GPR in many areas. Some also have the cache ready for when I need 'em. Some are ready to receive the stash when the time comes.

Are You Ready?

Or will you knuckle under?  Be like the Australians in 1996? Have your freedom taken from you because of one incident used by socialist politicians who want to control you?

Plus, Note that Kalifornia can now take your weapons "Just Because"....and you don't get any notice they are in court to do so....no chance to face your accuser or defend yourself until AFTER the confiscation has taken place.......   I think if I lived there, I'd have already buried one or two.....if I absolutely HAD to live in that state......

Holy Fcuk!

Drove from NW Indiana to East Lansing Michiganistan today....and back.

Rain when I left.

Turned to freezing rain just past the state line. Then sleet. Rain, sleet. Ice, Freezing rain/Ice....then snow. Then more rain then sleet ....then snow.

Then, for the last 30 miles, nothing. Ran about a 50 MPH average where I often run 75

Loaded up my elderly passenger and his possessions, (in the sleet) and then made for home.

Sleet/slush/snow/rain...in every combination.

'Twasn't the roads, but the friggin' PEOPLE that made the drive so bad. Yes, it was slikkery, but I can deal with that. The morons? Not so much. 30 MPH on the interstate? Dude, get off the road. Fer sure, get out of the LEFT LANE. Don't be too skeered to pass the truck, either pass it or fall back and run behind it....But don't block the lane for the following 2 miles of people that can't get past you...

Grrr. 39 MPH AVERAGE...where 55 or 60 would have been safe much of the time.

But got my passenger to where he needed to be, safely, if a bit late.

So all is good.

But I HATE the first real weather because of the fools that cannot deal with it.


On the post below:

It was pointed out in an email that some might construe my post immediately below as racist.

Maybe it is. Doesn't change the facts.

But you and I both know what the media won't report.

'twasn't Amish yoots running round fighting, "Brawling" and acting badly enough to shut down an entire mall.

It wasn't psychotic Asian Lutherans, either.

Was Dindu Nuffins and their girlfriends. It is every time. Poor black yoots from a certain subset of the black race, Hip hop and welfare.

Face facts, deal with it.

From comments about this incident on another site:

"How many sons does Obama have?"




Sunday, December 27, 2015

I'd like to see the video

Of the "Brawl" that this story covers. Oddly, over 1500 "yoots" fighting, yet not a single picture of even one of them........

I'd like to know the demographic of the "youths" and I'd like to know how much was stolen while people were paying attention to the "brawls".


'Twas bad enough to shut down an entire mall, yet....

"No arrests were made"....

I wish

all of you a merry Christmas.

May you spend it with people you love.

Remember the reason we give gifts.

If you aren't Christian, or do not celebrate Christmas, then take the wish of Merry Christmas in the way it was intended.

I'm out, gonna spend Christmas with my family.


Wednesday, December 23, 2015

Very very true....! I also feel that the current president so someone to be ashamed of.

Read

I further am ashamed that a majority of my fellow countrymen voted for him AGAIN, to a second term.

(Admittedly, the opponents to Barry O were....less than electable, but still....)

More islamic attacks in France, if on a smaller scale

Seems that folks in France have a LOT to fear from Islamic people...and not just recent asylum seekers.

Of course, both of them had "psychological issues".....but I don't think it matters to their victims who were run down by a man shoulting "Aloha Snackbar" "Allah Ackbar"....

21 Dec, 1988

Another in the long list of terrorist incidents by the Religion of Peace.

This one over Lockerbie, Scotland.

Pan-Am Flight 103.  243 passengers. 16 crew. 11 folks on the ground.

I knew a dude who lost his dad on that flight. I met him long afterwards....Worked with him for a time.

He isn't right to this day.

Remember. Say a prayer for the victims. The family members too. They have to live with the aftermath.

How many of those M&Ms are you willing to eat, again?

Sunday, December 20, 2015

It is a good thing they are wrong:

Did the last of the Christmas shopping today (Saturday)....

It is a good thing that I (a legal Concealed Carry license holder and owner of many firearms**) am NOT the psychotic, bloodthirsty, maniacal murdering person the anti-gun people say I am......

Or the carnage when mingling with the rude, stupid, apparently psychotic and uncaring Christmas shoppers (and those driving to and from their Christmas errands) would have been incredible and spectacular. ....You'd be reading it on CNN right now.

But I am not, and you aren't.

**(I actually lost all but 3 in a tragic canoe accident just last week)

Saturday, December 19, 2015

An example of why your vote matters not at all:

The 2000 + page "Omnibus Spending Bill" funds nearly everything the GOP promised to stop...

and doesn't fund anything they did promise to fix. 

It basically gives Barry O and the DNC what they want.

And, of course, fucks you, the middle class taxpayer/working guy. right hard in the ass, no dinner, no romance, no lube.

The GOP is aiding and abetting the rape of America "fundamental Transformation of America" by Barry and the DNC, with Paul Ryan helping.

He should be hung for his betrayal of his supporters. Beaten for the breaking of the promises he made to his constituents.  Tossed out of office for his lies and betrayal. For starters.

No idea of the carnage

I mean, forget that such action would be precedent setting, and would, really, destroy the US, by destroying the foundation of this country....

READ THIS At the end of the day, it'd be hard to get 10%. And many of those folks who stockpile ammo aren't looking for a war, but they can bring one if that is what it takes. Yeah, we are all fat and out of shape, but there are a LOT of us. And we (some of us at least) can shoot. Well. Some very well. Rifle or pistol. I ain't the best, by any stretch.....but I am pretty good. Lots better than me.

And yes, I AM willing to fight for my freedoms..

The cops may be "Trained Professionals" but they aren't up to this task. And I strongly doubt the National Guard would do much besides refuse to follow those orders.

These fools have dreams, but they have no concept of reality. They judge us from what they see of themselves. They aren't willing to get their hands dirty(but are willing to pay others to do it)......We are willing to get our hands dirty.

I'd hate to see our country destroyed by people like this.


Monday, December 14, 2015

Since things have a higher chance of getting sporty....

I ordered a laser grip for my small pocket pistol....Lipstick on a  pig, you say? Maybe.....But yet:

Sadly, some places I go to, I just can't carry that Para-Ordnance LDA 3" .45 with great big 3 dot tritium sights and a spare magazine. Just doesn't work.

And yes, I do believe that if you are gonna carry a gun, if possible it should be in a caliber that starts with "4" and all that (not that I'd feel undergunned with modern 9mm rounds)....But still....

And, of course, if I knew I was gonna need a gun, I'd not go there at all, or if I had no choice, I'd carry a rifle or a decent shotgun.

Most of the time, I'd prefer to open carry a .357 revolver or a full size 1911 in a decent retention holster... (I actually have a most excellent 1911 drop leg holster made by Michael Hast for me a few years ago, but where I live it makes people nervous...so I don't wear it out much...)

So I carry concealed and as big a gun as my destination and activities allow....Either a short 1911 or a .32 Beretta Tomcat.

Laugh if you want. I haven't found a decent 9 mm that is significantly smaller and more concealable  than that 3"Para that I can shoot well. There are many 9mm pistols that I like, but not small enough to make the difference in concealability.....Not and have a decent enough trigger or grip (Or be safe enough) that I can shoot 'em well enough to want to use other than except in a last chance situation. Same same with the small .380's. Not much gun, poor triggers or worse grip ergonomics.  First shot ok,...maybe. Second shot likely low (or, oddly, for the LCP, high and right)... Then there is the whole 'No safety except on the trigger" trend in modern striker fired handguns.....I'm old school. I like either a really long DA trigger pull or a safety other than the one on the bang switch trigger of a Glock or M&P...

So sometimes I carry a Beretta Tomcat in .32. (wish they made one in .380!) I can hit what I aim at with the thing consistently, it carries well, and the sights are as good as any pocket pistol out there, if not better than most. Not target sights by any means, but significantly better than the sights on my TCP or my LCP or my LC9.

Yes, I know, .32 doesn't begin with "4" and all that. Having said that, modern ammo has come a long way. And the .32 all steel framed gun is a hell of a lot heavier and more controllable than those fantastic plastic (and very very slim) .380's or 9mm's. I can shoot it, and shoot it well. The Gold Dots that I feed it are a hell of a lot more effective than the original ball....

And remember, that .32 ACP in my belt beats your .45 in your car or that .357 in your home in your nightstand.... When I need it. If I ever do.

Having said that, I felt that since ISIS and the other radical Jihadi  Aloha Snackbar types  are increasing their activity worldwide, it might be that I would need all the help I could get with the short sight radius of the Tomcat.....

Do I bought a set of Crimson Trace Lasergrips for that diminutive Beretta...

(Now I gotta get another holster, 'cause the grips don't git well in the Stoner Holster that I currently have)....But the grips work well, and that laser is fairly bright. Indoors, it'll help. Outdoors, at reasonable distances, it will be better than the sights that are on the gun.

I figure we are all going to need every advantage with a pistol, especially a conceal;able one, if we are gonna ever have to go up against Johnny Jihad with and AK or an AR......Not likely to happen, but a lot more likely than when I first began carrying a gun 30 years ago...then it was more likely to be an "Urban Yoot" intent on evening the score for all the discrimination his grandaddy endured......

Gun show today

Saw a LOT of AR's for sale.

And AK's too.

All at approx 2.5 times what they had been for sale 2 weeks ago.

Capitalism at work. I support that concept strongly

I also saw VERY few buyers.

Market forces at work. Offsets the greedy capitalists and all that.

Balance will, ultimately, be found.

Lucky for me, ammo had not been particularly affected, except for 5.56X45. 7.62 x39 and 7.62X51....and, of course, their civilian counterparts.

I bought .32 ACP....Which has never been cheap, but wan't crazy expensive.








“hasn’t blown anything up yet.”

Yep, we, as a country, both need and want immigrants.

But, as Ann Coulter says:

"We want remarkable Americans, not immigrants whose selling point is: “hasn’t blown anything up yet.” What’s the upside of admitting 250,000 poor, culturally backward, non-English-speaking Muslims every year? When are we allowed to talk about what’s good for America?"

Maybe it was in the apartment.....

Since yer looking for that special hard drive in a lake , has it occurred to you that  it might have been in that apartment you chose not to secure?

Or is this just an attempt to make sure that everyone gets a part of the overtime from the investigation?

This cold is kikkin my ass

What I wouldn't give for a couple of old recipe Dristan or Contac.

Damned meth cookers. Ruined it for the rest of us....

So the Feds banned cold medicine in any quantity,,,Now ya gotta show an ID to buy more than 4 or something........and, as far as I can tell, it didn't impact the supply of meth one tiny bit. Did inconvenience the rest of us though....

Sound familiar?

Rumor has it that Barry is gonna Do Something About Guns via executive order. Bet it works as well as cold medicine limits....

Sad that they can't see the cause:

White House:

"Tragic" that Americans buy more guns after mass shootings...

Maybe if you didn't always Dance in the Blood use these incidents as an excuse to try and remove our freedoms, we wouldn't.


Wednesday, December 9, 2015

Food for thought:

When was the last time you went to the range?  Did more there than stand and punch holes in paper at a set distance?


Now, the chances of any of my readers (or me) ever having to face a Jihadi in our normal daily travels is remote.

Same Same ever having to defend ourselves with a firearm.....unless we are stupid and go looking for trouble.

But "remote" is NOT ZERO. 

It would appear that the chances of meeting a Jihadi on American soil are, in fact, slightly increasing. (when I was born in was very close to zero. I would say that since the mid 60's it has, in fact doubled about every 5 years)..

The chances are still not high.....

But consider this, If and When:

Also: Who is more committed...Him, or you? He is likely better equipped, but that only goes so far...

Next time someone says they aren't coming for your guns...

Or your ammunition, let 'em read this.

This is the editorial from the New York Times...arguably one of the most widely read and influential newspapers in the world.

     Certain kinds of weapons, like the slightly modified combat rifles used in California, and         certain kinds of ammunition, must be outlawed for civilian ownership. It is possible to            define those guns in a clear and effective way and, yes, it would require Americans who          own those kinds of weapons to give them up for the good of their fellow citizens.

Tuesday, December 8, 2015

we're number 15!

14 guns per 1000 residents. Lower than I had thought, but we have all those "Blue" metro areas (where most guns are in the hand of Obama's sons, and likely not counted) and a significant number of other Blue enclaves where the resident would pee themselves if they ever saw a firearm not on the belt of a Policeman...

Where does your state stand?

Monday, December 7, 2015

Nice to see someone else notice it

Like I said HERE, until we cause the Gulf States to stop funding terrorism and extremism, this is only gonna get worse....

Others agree:

Until Saudi Arabia is forcefully and directly confronted over its international financing of extremism, events like Paris and San Bernardino will continue and multiply.

I think a surtax on Gulf oil will work. They are already hurting from the nearly 7 year low price of crude.... add a 20% tariff to that and they will have no choice but to cut the funding.

Why won't the Presidents (and this goes back nearly to Reagan) do something to end this?

And I think that my suggestion to treat the bodies of terrorists carefully will help too....

We must DOOOO something

I mean, all these murders!

We must do something to reduce them....

Yeah,

Watch this

If it doesn't move ya, I never want to ever meet you, or even cross shadows or paths.

An interesting Proposal:

Remember this shooting?

Dude killed 9 decent churchgoing people.

It resulted in the hue and cry to remove the Confederate flag from many places...Just because the little asshole who perpetrated those murders had one on his wall...

So now we have the San Bernardino shooters....

Muslims. ISIL sympathizers..

Can we ban all Arabic flags? Open displays of the Koran?

Will local bookstores and Amazon and other retailers stop selling the Holy Book? Halal meats?

Stop laughing...one is as logical as the other.....All are, it appears to me, symbols of hate....

Seriously.
.


The attorneys need an asswhoopin'

Read THIS. 

Think about it. You attempt armed robbery. You knock one person at the store unconscious.

The other person shoots at you in self defense.

You shoot back, and kill the second person.

Then you claim self defense?

The attorneys who are representing the robber should be beaten and run out of town on a rail. Maybe ta and feathers....

Staked out over an anthill..

I dunno. This still ain't right.

I guess that is why many people leave no speaking witnesses....



I'm thinking wrapped in pigskin

and buried under the entrails of 10 pigs, each one of 'em.

Probably deep under  a pigsty, just to be sure.

France puzzles over what to do with Paris attackers' bodies

It'd be a lesson for the rest.

And, when you publicized that fact, would be a deterrent to other would be psychotic jihadis. Do terrorism in France...kill our citizens, and we will defile your remains for all time.


This is no drill

74 years ago, the Japanese opened the ball....

over 2000 sailors were killed, over a thousand wounded...

Remember.

Yes, the layout changed

Something was fucked up wrong with the old template and it wouldn't work, or even let me in to edit it..

SO for now, we got this...

I will tweak it better as soon as I have the time and energy.

So lemme see if I got this straight:

Because some people used some weapons in a manner that is illegal, everyone who owns such weapons must suffer....

Freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution should be curtailed.

We should use as a litmus test a list that is arbitrary, that is generated by bureaucrats, with essentially zero right of appeal (and no notification that you are even ON the list).... and no right to face your accuser or a trial or Due Process....
A list that the perpetrators of the last two muslim terrorist incidents weren't on....

We need to do something about these Muslim Extremists (who are a small part of Mohammemdisn) who use a twisted interpretation of the Muslim Faith (even though they take the words of the Koran literally).....

We have to fight ISIL, and other extremists......

But Barry failed to suggest that what we really need to do is to cut off the source of funds for these extremists.....which (mostly) come from oil revenues in the Gulf states.....
(We could easily damage those revenues by placing a surtax on all gulf oil....say a 10 or 20 percent sales tariff on oil from those origins.....)

There should be no religious test for immigrants (even though we currently make it easy for Muslims and very, very hard for Christians and Copts, who REALLY are the refugees).....

Oh, and Assault Rifles are BAD.

Did I miss anything?






Trying hard to be relevant

And using all the buzzwords.

"Multiautomatic round Weapons"...."Gunshow loophole".



Yet her ignorance about that which she speaks is profound.....

Almost as bad as this guy...

I couldn't agree more:

I am, of course, already a member. Not because I slavishly agree with the NRA, but because they arer the biggest, if not the best, gun rights organization here is the US. Politicians respect numbers.

The NRA-I joined today


Read, as they say, THE WHOLE THING.

While you are joining, think also about the Gun Owners of America

I find it interesting

That the FBI and local police LEFT THE San Bernardino killers DWELLINGS UNGUARDED and (either through incompetence or stupidity) allowed the landlord to show the apartment to reporters....allowing them to wander around and coonfinger the contents. (who knows what was picked up and removed?) Who knows what evidence was destroyed?

It almost seems as if the cops or FBI was allowing the destruction of evidence.....

Friday, December 4, 2015

Y'know, these people need to READ the Constitution

It is "Freedom of", not "freedom FROM".

{It actually says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"}


which clashes with:

A federal judge has banished the Baby Jesus and the Three Wise Men from an Indiana high school’s Christmas musical.
and:
“The living nativity scene impermissibly conveys an endorsement of religion and thus runs afoul of the Establishment Clause,”

Now, I am, actually totally against a State Approved Religion.

But I fail to see how the above equals a SAR.

If the kids wish to do their live Nativity scene, then isn't that "the free exercise thereof"? I would have an objection if the children of, say, a Muslim family were required to participate in any portion of the Christmas pageant  Holiday presentation....But if the children wish to do so, and their parents have no objection, then......what, exactly, is the deal? (We all know it is a Christmas pageant, even if they have renamed it)

Perhaps a statement before the pageant declaring that this is a volunteer presentation and In No Way endorses this religion as a State Approved religion?


Question for liberals

and gun grabbers(but I repeat myself).....

What, exactly, do you want to propose for "Common sense gun laws" that (short of outlawing all firearms and/or confiscation ) would have prevented these jihadi psychos from doing what they did?

They were able to perpetrate their massacre in California, one of the states where gun laws are fairly restrictive.

What, exactly, would more laws have done to stop them from doing what they did?

Please, explain. Be specific.

Thursday, December 3, 2015

Food for thought::


I don't know the reason for the massacre in San Bernadino. Maybe religious, maybe not. Maybe a planned attack, perhaps not. I dunno.

But think of this:

Most of my readers own rifles. Many of us even own "Assault" type rifles....

Most own pistols.

Most of us could leave a "Holiday Party" angry, go home and return with said firearms. (Not that any of us would.)

But how many of us have IED's laying about?

How many of us have the PARTS for IED's laying around?
How many of us could, in less than an hour, come up with 4 such devices?

I mean, I have maybe a half pound (or less) of FFG because I own a flintlock, but I don't have the rest of the makins' for an IED at hand.....much less 4 of them.....I doubt many of the rest of my readers do either.

Strange that. Almost like it was planned....

Religion of Peace? Really?

ETA: 12:45PM. There is THIS as well...."I don't think they just ran home, put on this type of tactical equipment, came back and started shooting"

Tuesday, December 1, 2015

Not that I am complaining...

I mean, here it is, First of December and the daytime highs are in the mid 40's.....

But this warm temperature is, oddly enough, causing me to burn a lot of gas for heating (a lot, at least, for me....)

See, at anything over 25 degrees F outside temp, it is essentially impossible to make a small enough fire in the woodstove to not have the inside of the house over 75....then one has to open a window to cool the house off.....which goes against my grain...

Waste wood? I cut stacked, split stacked, moved and restacked all that wood in the basement. I can't accept wasting it.

So I burn natural gas....
