Joe and Barron and Janelle swung for the fences and bounced it off the moon!
That’s just awesome!
**UPDATE** Joe gives the course explanation:
An explanation of the stage design is important. The brown target in the distance represents a “bad guy”. The white targets represent innocent people. When scored only hits on the bad guy counted and hits on the innocent were heavily penalized. When the scores have been reported I’ll make anther post. I think I might have won this stage. I had a good time with five A-zone hits, one C-zone hit and no hits on the no-shoot targets.
The instructions to the shooter were:
Start position: Facing up-range holding a candle with both hands. Gun is in a concealed carry state.
Course of fire: Upon signal drop candle, turn, draw, and engage T1 with six rounds. Comstock scoring.
This stage design was to simulate the January 8th 2011 shooting in Tucson. It was this event which the Brady Campaign wanted to bring attention to. This was to stimulate political interest in more gun laws.
Credit for the stage design goes to Bob N. (shown in the video preview above).
Mexico is one of those nations us gunnies talk about a lot. They have ridiculous gun control laws, but the drug cartels still seem to be able to shoot lots of people. Still the REAL danger is Soy Sausage.
Medical officials say five recovering drug addicts died and dozens of others were sickened by soy sausage served for Christmas dinner at a rehabilitation center in western Mexico.
And served in a Health Care facility! The HUMANITY!
Still isn’t it better to be killed by a contaminated tube of imitation meat, or shot by the cartels….I mean one isn’t a “Gun Death”!
I’ve been having so much fun seeing the various Candle-light vigil pictures. Nice to see what people chose to photograph and how they composed their shot. What surprised me most of all was how many people had the primary/backup/light carry setup of an M1911 of some sort and a Kahr Arms Polymer of some sort.
Here’s my 5″ Stainless House gun (My primary carry is my Scandium Commander) and my Kahr PM45
Wally mocked up the above picture with his own guns, but in 9mm
Essentially the same guns, but a Norinco M1911 in .38 Super, and a Kahr P9.
Of course Wally and I aren’t the only ones, seems a LOT of people have a little plastic Kahr backing up an all-metal 1911.
I carry a Kahr because I find them to be the smallest, lightest pistols for what they do, and they have a VERY agreeable trigger, and zero extraneous safeties or “Safety features”.
But meanwhile I carry my 1911 because I’m so invested in the gun that it would be foolish, and pointless to switch to something else. But while the 1911 is one of the slimmest pistols on the market, they exposed hammer/beavertail makes the gun longer than it needs to be, and the gun has not only a drop safety but a thumb safety AND a grip safety.
Seems a bit of a contrast, and I was curious how all my other brothers of the Kahr came to settle on that combination.
Brigid takes my simple idea and weaves it into gold!
Go read the whole thing, its a masterpiece!
I’m humbled by the amazing turnout and all the great pictures and words.
This is really neat.
Take an Uzi parts kit and modify a soup can to hold all the parts together in a nice tidy package, and making an interesting little display “Gun” (quotes because the receiver is the part that is the “Gun”, and of course this unit is non-functional)
Also I suspect that even this soup can will make the antis cry and fear-pee!
I first raised the idea here, Today the antis will be doing their best to light candles to “Stop Gun Violence”. First up I take offense to the term “Gun Violence” as it ignores so much violence for the sake of pure politics, and second, what does a candle do by itself?
So I called for those of us who believe in tools of self-defense and who care about stopping all violence to also light a candle and snap a picture showing what tools you have to back up your desire to prevent violence.
The turn out is HUMBLING! I’ve already seen a ton of submissions and pages up, as well as heard the pledges of many who said they’ll join me today. Because of the extent of the submissions You’ll need to click on the page break. So without further ado, Let us light a candle to prevent violence!
My S&W1911Sc in my Galco Sholder Holster and my Very awesome FAL which is the first thing I’ll reach for if things get REALLY ugly.

What would you ban here to prevent this?
The Cleveland woman accused of backing her car into people in a line at a McDonald’s restaurant was convicted Friday of six counts of felonious assault…Johnson brandished scissors and threatened the two teenagers in line at the restaurant, which caused a fight.
When restaurant employees tried to intervene, Matthews climbed into her car and shifted into reverse, hitting the restaurant owner, two employees, a security guard and a bystander.
The owner suffered swelling and bleeding on the brain. An employee got a cut on his head and a broken wrist.
So what to ban? Cars? Scissors? Fast Food Restaurants?
Maybe its simply foolish to focus on the tools. Cars and scissors don’t kill people…people do!
Former Presidential candidate Al Gore is known for everything from inventing the Internet to alerting the world to the harsh realities of global warming. Now he’s collaborating with the creatives of PSFK on “Gaming For Good”, challenging companies to create new games that address the same issues facing his Climate Reality Project – and also being fun to play.
I can see him BURNING up sales and competing with games like Angry Birds, and Call of Duty. *snicker*
Can you imagine if Fat Al was smart enough to be embarrassed?
The Supreme Court will be ruling on the use of “sniffer” dogs.
The US Supreme Court is to decide if the use of sniffer dogs outside public homes amounts to an illegal search.
My big issue is dogs don’t speak English, and dogs don’t sign affidavits, and while I’ve heard of dogs being put down for various reasons, Perjury is not one of them. The bottom line is if the dogs get excited the cops see that as probable cause. My issue is the dogs have a LOT of false alarms, as well as can take cues from the excitement of their owners (not even necessarily deceitful but pup can see officer friendly really thinks he has Sumdood the Drug Kingpin nailed, and react to that).
Really they’re a convenient tool of the police state, and there are NO checks against abusive use of police dogs. That’s enough to call it quits on them.
