Sure Can’t!

Posted on July 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Modern guns can be carried in +1 condition. That’s a fully-loaded magazine with a round in the chamber.

ie: I carry my 1911 with 8 rounds in the magazine, and 1 round in the chamber for a total of 9. I karry my Kahr (heh) with 5 in the mag, and one up the pipe for a total of 6. I generally don’t carry my FAL around, but if I wanted to keep a round in the chamber and 20 in the mag, that’s very possible.

Still for older guns it just doesn’t work. My Ishapore 2A Enfield you can’t seat the detachable magazine when the bolt is closed (and a round in the chamber). Same goes for Mosins:

The max capacity for Mosin Nagant rifles is 5 (five). No more, and less if you feel so inclined.

Full stop, end of transmission.

“Gun Death” Teacher

Posted on July 9, 2013 by Weerd Beard

They trust them alone with our kids….

Los Angeles police continued to search Sunday for a 46-year-old elementary school teacher who they said stabbed his estranged wife and left her to die on a quiet residential street in West Hills as neighbors rushed to her side.

Michael Rodney Kane forced his way into a home in the 7100 block of Deveron Ridge Road, where his wife, Michelle Ann Kane, 43, was staying with friends after he acted erratically, vandalized his family’s house and violated a temporary restraining order, police said Sunday.

Good thing she had that restraining order! Also good that she didn’t have a gun, as there might have been a “Gun Death”!

And they Compare Voter ID to THIS?

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Christina sent me this dark little chapter in history.

This week’s Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder overturned Section 4(b) of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which mandated federal oversight of changes in voting procedure in jurisdictions that have a history of using a “test or device” to impede enfranchisement. Here is one example of such a test, used in Louisiana in 1964.

After the end of the Civil War, would-be black voters in the South faced an array of disproportionate barriers to enfranchisement. The literacy test—supposedly applicable to both white and black prospective voters who couldn’t prove a certain level of education but in actuality disproportionately administered to black voters—was a classic example of one of these barriers.

The website of the Civil Rights Movement Veterans, which collects materials related to civil rights, hosts a few samples of actual literacy tests used in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi during the 1950s and 1960s.

Go have a look at the test. I may try and print it up and take the test timed. I’ve read the first page, but I’ll try to see if I can pass the test cold when I get some time.

Keep Your Powder Dry

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Weerd Beard

George Zimmerman will likely be Acquitted this week.

The media has done EVERYTHING to re-create another LA Riots. Like Rodney King, they have ignored Trayvon Martin’s violent and anti-social past, as well as the context to WHY he was in Sanford Florida. Further they have done everything in their power to make this a case about race when it had NOTHING to do with it.

Sadly I don’t think the black community in Florida is much different than LA in the 90s.

Innocent people will likely die because of this.

Keep that in mind.

Music For Sean

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Sean was questioning why I likened to him to Johnny Cash in this post.

Turns out that Sean hasn’t heard this song.

Its a classic, and neat that this video is the first performance of one of Cash’s more iconic songs.

“Gun Death” Cars

Posted on July 8, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Cars are different than guns because “Progressives” drive cars!

A city woman is accused of killing a former lover with her car.

Cherelle Baldwin, 21, of Ash Street in Bridgeport, was arrested Monday and charged with the murder of Jeffrey Brown, 24, and is being held on a $1 million bond.

In the early morning hours of May 18, Baldwin plowed into Brown with a red Pontiac G6, crushing him to death against a garage’s cinder-block wall, police said. Brown died of blunt force trauma injuries.

We can’t ban cars because “Progressives” NEED them to get to Whole Foods and their Joyce Foundation funded jobs!

Let’s just ban guns and ignore this entirely!

Great Video on the 4473

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Probably the best video I’ve seen on the 4473 ATF Background Check form, and what it takes to buy a gun from a gun shop.

There’s even some stuff I didn’t know!

Neat Looking Game

Posted on July 7, 2013 by Weerd Beard

Wfgodbold sent me some info on this game.

They call it a roguelike which it seems to have a LOT of similarity to (Randomly generated levels, permanent death, open-ended gameplay) but it also has elements of RTS which are a bit of a turnoff to me.

Still there are some interesting gameplay videos on Youtube. Have a look, and if you like it, buy it for cheap!

Me? I’m sticking to nethack! (My Character just got PASTED!)
