AFT Talks about gun control! 😀
Man they’re funny!
Is it just me, or do you also see Buck Angel when you see James Yeager?
The shoulder-carry video is a good one. See my discussion right here.
When I draw I cross my off-hand onto my opposite shoulder. Also I practice pulling my shirt up and drawing from under the waistline in the event its cold and I button up my garment.
You want to learn more about buck you can go to his websites, or listen to this great podcast!
So Mad Saint Jack sends me this story the whole internet is talking about:
The Miami Herald claims that in October, he was caught with a ‘burglary tool’ – a flathead screwdriver – and 12 pieces of women’s jewellery. Martin insisted that they did not belong to him.
Earlier, he had been suspended for skipping school and showing up late to class. And most recently, in February, he was suspended again when officials found a ‘marijuana pipe’ and an empty baggie with traces of the drug.
That shit wasn’t his, it was Mookie’s!
Look in all seriousness Martin’s backstory is starting to look like a family problem our family is going through. I have a cousin. Just like Martin I could show some Cherub-Like photos from when he was a teen, and talk about what a sweet kid he was.
But he got into drugs. First it was just marijuana and underage drinking charges. Then it was harder drugs and DUI. There was a fatal accident in there. There were B&E and petty theft when he was stealing things to get drugs. Jail, rehab, kicked out of rehab, etc. Like Martin (not implying this was their motivation) his folks got him to go on trips out of town with family so he could get away from his drug-using friends. That worked well, but sadly that can’t last forever, because his goal in life appears to be solely getting high. I belive his latest charge is a DUI, which is a probation violation, so he’ll be doing some prison time soon. He’s not yet 30, and I have my doubts he’ll live that long at this rate.
I’m not saying any of this stuff was true for Trayvon, but with all the gangsta behavior prior to his death, the alleged odd behavior he was exhibiting before his death, and the drug possession, sending him out of town for his suspension, and discussion of violence, it doesn’t sound outside the realm of possibility.
Some of this will become clear when Mr. Martin’s autopsy report is made public for the trial. 17 is too young to be into all this crap, but the sad reality is that it happens too often.
Still also one thing you see with the George Zimmerman Lynch mob, never is the possibility that Martin may have been on drugs or violent ever comes up. Nor is there ever an acknowledgment that self-defense can and does happen. Anti-rights activists never want to talk about self defense because its the elephant in the room for gun ownership. Same goes for this case.
Of course the angry racist gatherings continue with pictures of the adorable twelve-year-old, and talking about his “Murder” at the hands of a “White Racist”. The truth isn’t important to them, and more people are going to die.
So Sad.
I’d rather have today’s teens reading about the dangers of oppressive governments and needing arms to revolt against them than daydreaming about being date-raped by the undead.
I wasn’t planning on seeing the movies, but I may change my mind.
I saw the first Twilight movie on Netflix just because I was curious, and a close friend of mine is a High School teacher who had some serious reservations about the sick messages and role models being portrayed in the Twilight books.
I thought I’d share this.
The mother of slain Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has filed papers seeking to trademark two slogans based on his name.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office filings by Sybrina Fulton are for the sayings “I Am Trayvon” and “Justice For Trayvon.” The applications were filed last week.
The applications say the trademarks could be used for such things as DVDs and CDs. Attorneys who filed the papers did not immediately respond Monday to emails seeking comment.
I know the Family is grieving, I won’t put it past them being manipulated by people who make such theatrics their vocation.

h/t Serious Gun (note the new website) and
Sometimes Mother Nature is more deadly than a gun.
The mother of a 3-year-old Alaska girl who died after authorities say she and her sister were locked in a bedroom with a window open to minus 30-degree temperatures was apparently on the lam Saturday, a day after she and her boyfriend were indicted in the child’s death.
A grand jury on Friday indicted elementary teacher Esther G. Edwards-Gust, 28, and Richard Tilden Jr., 29, on charges including manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
Yep exposure to a harsh environment is JUST as deadly as a gun, but hey, only “Gun Deaths” are Relevant, right?
Just found this one talking about society’s rush to judgement of George Zimmerman.
He also notes the same thing I do, that Zimmerman is never heard running (despite claiming Martin ran off), also I was listening to the linked audio to see if anything was different (it isn’t its the same tape as the one I’ve linked to before), but Zimmerman expresses reservation of giving his home address to dispatch because he has lost site of Martin and doesn’t know if he’s in earshot. Hard to pursue somebody you’ve lost sight of.
Scroll to the bottom you’ll see the recent work photo of Zimmerman, but also a photo was what is likely a recent picture of Martin. He appears to have his front teeth done in gold. That could be an applique, or it could be real. It could be a look he just liked, or it could be a sign that he was getting into the “Thug Culture” which is a cancer to the Blacks in America.
I hope you all don’t mind me spending as much time on this issue as I have. I’m just amazed at how WRONG the media has gotten this story, and how dishonestly they’ve been portraying it.
I’ve gone 180 degrees from thinking Zimmerman attempted to arrest martin as an over-zealous “Mall Ninja” to seeing him as a man who was doing a great service to his community of taking the risk of being private security, and possibly spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulders for the Lynch Mobs who have convicted him of Murder without knowing any of the facts.

Yep. Its damn cold today, I was thinking about putting on my LL Bean Hoodie as my concealment garment. Maybe tommroa!
The Zimmerman shooting is really driving me nuts with this whole pedantic race nonsense.
Race is 100% a social construct. If your race is defined as X in one nation, but as something different in another. A Close friend of mine is considered “Indian” or “East Indian” by my American standards. He’s “Punjabi” by the standards of India, and when he traveled to South Africa he was suddenly “Colored”. Further under the modern affirmative action standards he’s essentially “White”, despite his ethnic looks. My Canadian ancestors were Québécois which they held as an important distinction between the English Speaking people of Canada, but just regular “White”. My Wife’s family is a mixture of Italian and Irish, both 2nd Class citizens heavily discriminated against in the early part of the 20th Century, but now are just “White” today. We still use the term “Guinea” as a slur against the Moorish occupation of Southern Europe, and their darker skin. Guinea is a nation in Africa, and calling an Italian a “Guinea” or some variation thereof is claiming they are more African than European. Of course in America a dark-skinned Italian is still “White”.
Further we’re heavily involved in the Middle East, and we simply use the term “Middle Eastern” as a race, yet if you call an Arab a “Persian” or a Persian an “Arab”, they will be deeply offended, but we see no difference as a culture. Same with the Tutsi and Hutu people of Rwanda.
Then comes all the nonsense of what is “Hispanic” and other such thing. I was told by a Police Officer that he filled out an arrest report of a Haitian immigrant as a “Black Hispanic”. Except they were dark skinned, and spoke French as their native tongue… I work with a Guarani guy (which BTW I supplied the link because nobody in America knows what a “Guarani” is…he’s just “Hispanic”…tho Guarani is his first language) with a Jewish last name. I work with a Porto Rican with blond hair and blue eyes and a Spanish Accent. I work with a ton or Portuguese people, which in this section of the country “Portagee”, or “Porkchop” are common slurs to be heard slung around. Of course nationally speaking they are considered “Latino”. (BTW you want to piss off a Portuguese person, call them a “Latino”)
And then in America we are a great melting pot. Our President is Part Kenyan African part Kansas white (and Knowing the Dunham family is from Kansas, I would be surprise if wasn’t some American Indian in her family line….Further how silly is it that a Choctaw or a Sioux Indian is the same race as a Micmac or Penobscot Indian!) and while I have white skin, I have relatives from all over Europe.
Are you confused yet? Maybe we can quit this Pedantic bullshit when talking about what EXACT race George Zimmerman is? In this case his race has about as much to do with the story as his shoe size, or the frame color of his Kel-tek. (I hear he used the black frame…but maybe it was the grey, or the OD green….)
Race is 100% in the eye of the beholder, and therefore completely subjective. and by “Subjective” I mean “Bullshit”.
