Cool

I never thought I'd see the day when 2 states start waring over the revenue from selling concealed carry licenses. Times have changed for the better, at least as far as carrying a personal protection device is concerned.

Still There

It looks to me like Daley still has that stick up his ass.

Who To Believe ??

One source says the new Arizona law allows LEO to stop and ask anyone, with just suspicion, for their ID proving they're not in the country illegally. If so I'm not happy with the new law.

Another source says the LEO must be in " legal contact" with the individual before asking for any ID. If so I agree with the law.

OK . . . . So who the hell do I believe?

Naturally my opinion doesn't mean spit.

He Doesn't Understand

Had a little discussion with a c0-0p (student) engineer today concerning gun ownership. One guy at work claims to have 7 AR-15s, "assembled" as he put it. The student just doesn't understand why anyone would want more than one of any type of gun. I explained the plethora of configurations and cartridges available for that platform. For instance, my AR is designed around quick handling and target acquisition chambered for the 223, and I'd like to have another one set up for longer distance shooting. My next one, if there is one, will most likely be with a heavy, cryogenically treated heavy barrel in something like 6.5MM or maybe something bigger in the AR-10 platform.

He still doesn't understand.

I Think It's Time

to teach the almost 3 year old grandson gun safety. Last night I stepped into the gun closet to check on my ammo supply when the little guy followed me in.

Little guy: Are those your guns grandpa?
Me: Yes they are.
Little guy: They're pretty. Then he started pulling triggers.

The guns (only long guns) in the closet are my least valuable and always stored unloaded, but . . . He needs to be taught some basics. I had a talk with his father tonight, and he agreed. His dad has almost as many guns as I do, though he may lock the door to the room. I'm not sure about that.

My 2 boys were in the neighborhood of 7 when I taught them about guns, including how to shoot. But then again I don't remember either one of them sleeping with a toy gun like the Little Guy has.

Range Day - Not

I packed up 3 rifles, 4 handguns and the appropriate ammunition then loaded them in the truck with other gear like targets. My eldest son arrived and we loaded his stuff in the truck. So off we went heading for the range in a light drizzle of rain. The water falling from the sky isn't a big deal because the firing line has a roof. We were almost there when it started raining harder, now that is an annoyance. Paper targets don't do well in the rain. Crap!! We turned around and headed on back.

Oh well, I still had some time with my son. Besides, he picked up the tab for dinner.

Local Call

George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell.

While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.

Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.

Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she is finished the devil informs her that the cost is 6 million dollars, so she writes him a check.

Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he is finished the devil informs him that the cost is $5.00.

When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA so cheaply.

The devil smiles and replies: “Since Obama took over, the country has gone to hell, so it’s a local call.”

Stolen from Random Nuclear Strikes

Actually me thinks the slide to hell started decades ago, but the Obama and company not only put graese on the rails but gave a huge push as well.
