This is why there will ALWAYS be quotes around the political use of the word “Progressive”
Also let’s be fair, plastic bags have almost zero environmental impact except cosmetic. Also we re-use our plastic grocery bags. They’re good for storage, and make nice disposable lunch bags. Just about every supermarket recycles them.
Hey but lets lay off a bunch of people, and jack up the price of groceries because its “Progress”.
Why would you need a gun at Walmart?
A woman has died after being stabbed in the parking lot of a Rapid City Walmart.
Rapid City police say they were called to the Walmart at about 3:20 p.m. for a report of a stabbing. A 30-year-old woman was found with multiple stab wounds in the parking lot. She was transported to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead. Her name has not been released.
The suspect was found barricaded in a bathroom at a nearby hotel with self-inflicted stab wounds. He was transported to a hospital and detained by law enforcement. His condition is unknown.
Of course those who use the metric of “Gun Death” are fine with this. Further if she had shot the attacker BEFORE he stabbed her, that would be a “Gun Death” and would be bad. Does that make sense to you?
Carry your damn guns!
Interesting video. I personally don’t put much weight to emotional arguments like this. I have a family member in jail right now for drug offenses. He’s a junkie, and I’m really more upset that they’re letting him out than anything else.
That being said, I’m upset they’re letting him out because I know it won’t be long before he’s back on the junk. You see there are very few people in America who WANT recreational drugs (including off-label use of pharmaceuticals) who DON’T get their hands on it. Of course the drugs are unregulated and can be very unsafe in their street formulations, and they’re being peddled by violent criminals making massive financial gains BECAUSE of prohibition.
Further there are innocent people who will be killed by police TONIGHT in the name of the “War on Drugs”, as well as countless other people who will have their rights violated because they are suspected to be involved in the drug trade.
Plus we all know people who are convicted felons under petty possession charges.
And that isn’t even getting into the international cartels in wonderful places like Mexico, Columbia, and Afghanistan, and the body counts created by them.
People are so willing to look at the Prohibition of Alcohol as the huge mistake it was, but they are too cowardly to see that the prohibition on other drugs is vastly worse.
END PROHIBITION!
Stories like these are a teaching moment.
A 40-year-old man told police he accidentally shot himself with a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun while he was walking his dogs on Cherry Hill east of Denton Road, according to a police report.
The man allegedly told police he had his hand in his coat pocket where he was carrying the gun – and he accidentally pulled the trigger and shot himself in the lower right abdomen when a raccoon startled him.
I’m sure there’s more to this story as far as why I had his finger on the trigger of a gun buried in his pocket and pointed at his gut. What I don’t need to know is HOW he was carrying the gun. He was obviously not using a pocket holster.
Why not? Probably he just didn’t even know of such things. Before I got into guns I assumed a holster was just there to hold a gun. Like that ring on a pair of carpenter’s pants that holds a claw hammer.
Of course once you start reading about holsters they’re not just carrying devices, they’re SAFETY devices. They keep crap out of your gun, and keep that trigger from being pulled before its time. Some holsters keep the wrong person from grabbing your gun.
I’m going to assume he had a S&W J-Frame revolver from the report.
Personally I go with the Desantis Nemesis, which right now is $17.50.
This is SHORT MONEY, and honestly its hard to beat a cheap pocket holster, for the exact reason why this guy didn’t use one in the first place. Pocket holsters don’t retain your gun, your pocket does that. They don’t prevent access, your pocket does. They do conceal the gun a little better by breaking up the image, but their big goal in life is keeping pocket crud out of your gun, and keeping your gun from shooting you in the gut.
How much do you suppose his visit to the ER and lost time at work cost him?
If you carry in the pocket GET A HOLSTER FOR IT!
No exceptions, no discussion, it might save your life!
This is just fucking nuts!
Swiss newspaper Tages-Anzeiger reports that a woman starved to death after embarking on a spiritual diet that required her to stop eating or drinking and live off sunlight alone.
The Zurich newspaper reported Wednesday that the unnamed Swiss woman in her fifties decided to follow the radical fast in 2010 after viewing an Austrian documentary about an Indian guru who claims to have lived this way for 70 years.
Tages-Anzeiger says there have been similar cases of self-starvation in Germany, Britain and Australia.
Ummm, so they aren’t teaching nutrition and biology in Switzerland, Britain, and Australia? Seriously, sunlight isn’t in any of the various nutrition charts like the food pyramid, and humans don’t have chloroplasts. Anybody with half a non-functioning brain should be able to figure out that the Indian Guru fella is a fucking hack and liar!
Hey, but starvation isn’t a “Gun Death” sooooo:

From the Anti-Rights blog “Kid Shooting” run by Joan Peterson and Jason Kilgore:
The boy was armed with a loaded gun and his face was covered with a t-shirt. He approached a car in the parking lot of an apartment complex and ordered the driver to get out. In response, the driver pulled out a gun and shot the teen at least one time. The teen ran 30 feet, collapsed and died. The teen’s gun was cocked and ready to fire.
Remember in the eyes of the antis when a gang member has a loaded gun pointed at you, first you should retreat, and under NO circumstances should you EVER defend yourself!
They are pro-criminal, and anti-freedom!
His vision got a good mention on the Adam Carolla Car Cast
He had some damn great ideas!
Wow this video kinda ticked me off.
Watch that “easy one-handed closing”. I have one of these knives, to close it you need to push up on the Autolawks safety, push in the liner lock, then push the blade closed. Its a pain and is really better and safer to be done with one-hand.
I love CRKT knives, I carry a Gekkota on my keychain, and my Vertex is one of my favorite carry knives. I also have an big Ultima fighting and survival knife of which I have limited use for, but I find it to be a great blade.
The Autolawks system on the M16 knife just ruins it. Now I have a CRKT Convergence which has a manual safety. Its a neat idea, you flick this little lever up and it simply wedges the liner-lock of the knife in the locked position. Nice to have…tho most times I use a pocket knife the knife comes out, deploys, cuts, is folded and its back in my pocket. That’s why I like one-handed opening and closing knives, I’m generally using them when I’m doing stuff and they allow for quick use of a knife, but without bogging down my hands. But even without the safety, I’ve never had a quality knife pop closed on me. It really doesn’t make much sense anyway as there are all those old pocket knives and swiss-army knives that have no lock at all. You simply cut against the action of the blade. Sometimes I pry or mess with things with the spine of my blade, a lock is good, and I’ve never had it fail.
With the Autolawks you suddenly need a complex maneuver to close the blade for a “Safety Feature” I never had a need for in the first place.
Pass!
Why would ANYBODY NEED a Baseball Bat?
A 24-year-old Willoughby man beat a 23-year-old woman with a baseball bat at his mother’s home, police said.
Thomas Barker is charged with aggravated robbery, felonious assault and tampering with evidence. He’s being held on a $100,000 bond…The victim said Barker began assaulting her without provocation, Lt. Tom Trem said. “The assault continued outside until a good Samaritan stopped and offered assistance to the victim.”
The passerby drove the victim to the hospital. She was flown to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland, where she is in stable condition.
Could have been murder if re-enforcement hadn’t shown up! All of this with what is essentially a children’s toy. Hey but guns cause crime, right?
