Yeager Students: Get Thee to a Good Class

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Miguel has a post up on Yeager, and a case where one of his instructors faced flack because he was a Yeager Instructor.

I would advise ANYBODY who took a class from James Yeager go out and get some competent training STAT! I would recommend Mass Ayoob’s classes (FYI Ayoob helped get this guy out of hot water).

I would take the class, and have copies of my certificate, tests, and class notes stored in multiple theft and fire-resistant locations, ie home safe and bank safety deposit box. In the event they attempt to paint you with the Yeager Tar Brush, you can fall back on GOOD training advise and proof that you took it very seriously.

Yeager is likely boned because he’s directly engaged in criminal acts, but you don’t have to be!

Big Man

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Weerd Beard

James “Buck” Yeager wants to kill you!

Awww Big Man, so tough!

More here at Endo

Even More from Linoge! Turns out carrying on like this is indeed a crime.

Good for him!

Oh and on a final note, expressing interest in killing somebody over an insult, no matter how crass it may be is NOT something you want a jury of your peers hearing if you’re ever in a lethal force scenario. Yeager has just found himself in the horrible legal limbo as this guy.

Let me note how the law works. My wife had for a time uncontrolled epilepsy and was under medical recommendations not to drive. Her license was still valid, as the state doesn’t get involved in such things. Still how the law works is if she, during this time, had been involved in an accident, would have been found to be negligent due to her illness and ignoring the orders of her doctors. It wouldn’t matter if she hit a patch of black ice, or if a kid ran out behind a parked car. She wasn’t supposed to drive, so legally it would be her fault.

We’re both glad those days are over. For Yeager, those days will never end. If I were him, I would stop carrying and owning guns because any use of force would likely have a hard burden to beat a murder rap.

Another video with a slightly more veiled threat on his own channel.

Yep, come over and meet him. If you INSULT him, he will get physical and potentially murder you. Not only is he a stupid and petty person, but he’s the LAST person you want to train with for the potential of a lethal force scenario.

Reason on the Football Murder

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Great Video
Can’t seem to directly link it, so watch it here.
They make some very good points. First off people shouldn’t jump to make political hay as soon as something happens, certainly when those people are so crass as to ignore the big picture to make their issue look more relevant.

Still also I think that these issues should also be looked at for the data they provide. Are head injuries playing a part in these events? Substance Abuse? Violent “Thug Culture”? “Macho Culture”?

Charles Barkley comes out against Costas’ stupid remarks pointing out he was both a great star player, and a man known for his ferocity on the court…yet he’s managed to carry a gun with him for DECADES as a sports celebrity without negative instances.

Also amusing that John McEnroe is on there, a man who faced assault charges for throwing sawdust into the face of a fan, and is best known for being a petty and petulant bitch on the courts. Yeah I wonder why McEnroe loves the gun laws of his home town of New York City, since he obviously never learned to control his Monster

Sebastian links a great cartoon of what I think we all categorize as “Blood Dancing”.

Still I think Reason states it best, some people are just bad, and that’s the long and the short of it.

Erin’s Rifle

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Erin had her modified 91/30 get a photoshoot from Oleg Volk.

I’ve kept all my Mosins as stock as I got them. Some have miss-matches, others have some modifications. I suspect all of these alterations were done by military people earning military pay to do it, so I consider it kosher.

While I wouldn’t personally do to one of my rifles**UPDATE** See Update Below, what Erin did, she sure seems happy about it, so why should I give a shit, nor should she care what I think. Sounds like its a crazy fun rifle for her to shoot, and isn’t that the whole point?

Also on the other hand I have Mosins I have never shot, and likely never will…and that’s the whole point. Just having a White-Army Tula rifle, or a Westinghouse with US Military alterations is reward enough for me. I also have a bunch that I shoot the doors off of, and that too is a joy.

Also I’ll point out that I know vets with artificial joints and limbs, and with skin grafts and other repairs. Do we call such soldiers “Bubba Jobs”? Nope. They’ve just been worked over so they live with a little more joy. Doesn’t make them any less of a war hero!

**UPDATE** Just talked with Erin, and all modifications to her rifle are 100% reversible, so this is NOT a “Bubba Job”, and I apologize for making such statements. What Erin did was 100% awesome, as its the best of both worlds. She has a fun-to-shoot gun AND can convert it back to a collector’s item whenever needed. Well played!

“Gun Death” Cold Blooded Stabbing

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Weerd Beard

I thought guns caused murder.

Charges have been increased from second- to first degree-murder for Scottye Miller, who is accused in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, Tricia Patricelli, Oct. 30 in Auburn….During the subsequent interview, according to the police statement, Miller told detectives that he had been involved in a romantic, dating relationship with Patricelli for about four years and that the two had previously lived together. At first, he denied stabbing Patricelli, though he admitted to having sent her numerous texts threatening to beat and kill her. He claimed he had found her dead, but according to the police statement finally admitted that he had gone to Patricelli’s apartment and argued with her. According to the police statement, Miller told detectives that he had “snapped”, put on a pair of gloves, armed himself with two knives and stabbed her to death in her bathroom.

The King County Medical Examiner estimated that Patricelli had been stabbed at least 22 times in her neck, face, torso and back.

We constantly hear from the anti-freedom crowd that we need to ban guns to stop crime. Its all about the “Gun Death”…but if “Gun Death” is paramount, how did this guy commit such a brutal murder without a gun?

Home Again

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Back in Massachusetts. It was a great send-off for my beloved Grandmother. I got the honor with a the other Grandsons to be her pallbearer. It was pretty moving for me to bear my Grandmother to her final resting place beside my Grandfather.

Also my Grandmother, like most French Canadians was Catholic, and the priest at the service was french himself. It was beautiful hearing him read from the book of Revelations in that all-familiar French Canadian Accent.

After the service we all gathered in a local hotel and went through her old photo albums and exchanged stories, and made fun of the unfortunate fashions of the 70s and 80s.

So now I’m home, and I’m dead tired. Normal posting will resume soon.

Thanks for all your support. My family all reads the blog and they’ve been just as touched by your support as I have.

Thanks guys.

“Gun Death” More Infant Killers

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Weerd Beard

It takes a special breed of monster to do this:

Police in north Georgia say an infant was stabbed to death at an Athens house, hours after being born.

Hey, but it was a knife, not a gun! Nothing to worry about!

Aren’t you impressed with the people who only focus on the “Gun Deaths”?

“Gun Death” Monster

Posted on December 6, 2012 by Weerd Beard

Its almost like its the person, not the tool:

An Auburn father accused of breaking his 2 ½-month-old daughter’s skull is behind bars and facing a child abuse charge.

King County prosecutors contend Robert Stephen Meador choked and threw the infant girl on Oct. 19 after the girl began crying. Prosecutors note the girl nearly died in the attack – she was resuscitated by her step-grandfather after sustaining a fractured skull, a bleeding brain and injuries to her body.

Bare hands! No weapons, and the target of his crime was an infant! He also has a conviction for killing a cat with his bare hands as well.

Who’s dangerous? Me with my safe full of guns, and my pistol at my side, or this guy with nothing but what he was born with? If you use the metric “Gun Death”, the answer would be me…or you!

A violent, but unarmed criminal is nothing to be concerned about! Only “Gun Death” counts!

I Guess I Don’t Have To Keep My Eye On the Road

Posted on December 5, 2012 by Weerd Beard

I’m all packed to head to Northern Maine for funeral services. For those who know, the roads north of Bangor are pretty desolate and surrounded by raw forest. According to Jason Kilgore of Joyce Shell Group Cease Fire Oregon, I have no reason to watch the treeline while I’m driving.

See Kelly? You Don’t Even Exist!

For you “Gun Death” goons, a firearm is a great way to humanely harvest an animal while hunting. Of course people also hunt with bows, snares, even spears and knives…but I wouldn’t expect any “Progressives” to know any more about hunting than they do about guns.

The American White Tailed Deer is actually the most deadly creature in North America. Not from attacks, like most of the “Bear Deaths”, or from disease, like the Tsetse fly in Africa. But from Auto-Strikes:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates there are approximately 1.5 million auto deer collisions per year, resulting in damage losses of around $1.5 billion USD, which works out to an average cost of $1,000 per accident. State Farm Insurance Agency also supports these statistics, and goes on to report that, in the year 2004, there were 150 human deaths in the United States that were directly linked to car deer accidents.

I doubt there will be 100 let alone 150 hunting deaths this year. Seems it only about 50 from this source, and of course that includes vehicle accidents, and falling from tree stands or hiking trails while on the hunt.

Nice try guys!
