Just thought this was hillarious espeshally that he’s playing Nethack over telnet!
You gotta love this new ad campaign from Students for Gun Free Schools
First they’re talking about Colleges…but do you see any of this shit in College? The kids look like high schoolers acting out a scene from middle school.
Either way It doesn’t looks like the only actor that is above 21 (the age where most states set for conceal carry). What they don’t talk about are all the 21+ Military Veterans returning from war and going to school on the GI bill. Nor do they consider the rights of the teacher and staff.
Also you can notice the video is silent at the blatant assault and disparity of force. The video is probably a bit more reactionary than needed…still a big dude was threatening to harm a smaller guy for nothing but sport, even when the little guy is doing his best to back down.
I guess Students for Gun Free Schools thinks he should “Be a Man” and take his licks and rely on the mercy of one who hurts others for sheer amusement?
I wonder if they’ll do one where a woman walking back to her dorm gets sexually assaulted and they show the HORROR of a woman defending her life and honor.
Also interesting that they show the fear and horror reaction of all the students of the kid defending himself, but everybody seems to be OK with a kid getting beat up just because a jock wants something to do.
They are ALWAYS on the side of the criminal!
Remember if it isn’t “Gun Violence” its good stuff, and fine to happen at school…just “Gun Violence” is bad!
Just heard this story.
In the thick of the negotiations, [Senate Majority Leader Harry] Reid…recalled the days when deal makers could bridge the partisan divide. He visited Ted Kennedy’s grave in Arlington National Cemetery with former Sen. Chris Dodd. Dodd poured some whiskey on Kennedy’s grave while Reid recited a prayer
No word if either of the Senators drove a Oldsmobile off a bridge, or sexually assaulted a waitress…
Barron brings the story of a TSA agent in a bit of trouble.
The suspect, Harold Glen Rodman, 52, allegedly was wearing his uniform and displayed a badge to the victim, a 37-year-old woman.
Police arrested Rodman on Nov. 20. He is charged with aggravated sexual battery, object sexual penetration, forcible sodomy and
abduction with intent to defile.
One should note that sexual assault, illegal search and seizure, and gross sexual assault of a minor are all TSA SOP. Off the clock he’s a sexual predator, on the clock he’s the office overachiever.
Disband the TSA YESTERDAY!
I went to school for Marine Biology, and until I switched to the pharma industry I made the bulk of my bread for the National Marine Fisheries Association (NMFS, a division of NOAA). It was decent money, I met some really neat and nice people, saw a lot of shit that many people have never seen, got a LOT of stories, and also just living on a work boat offshore for weeks at a time, there is NOTHING else like that.
I never regret changing careers the work was brutal, dangerous, dirty, cold, wet, and monotonous…but the big reason was I was doing evil.
Boat owner Rafael, a big player in the local fishing industry, was elated when the crew of his 76-foot steel dragger Apollo told him they had unwittingly captured a giant bluefin tuna in their trawl gear while fishing offshore.
“They didn’t catch that fish on the bottom,” he said. “They probably got it in the midwater when they were setting out and it just got corralled in the net. That only happens once in a blue moon.”
Rafael, who in the last four years purchased 15 tuna permits for his groundfish boats to cover just such an eventuality, immediately called a bluefin tuna hot line maintained by fishery regulators to report the catch.
When the weather offshore deteriorated, the Apollo decided to seek shelter in Provincetown Harbor on Nov. 12. Rafael immediately set off in a truck to meet the boat…However, when Rafael rolled down the dock in Provincetown there was an unexpected and unwelcome development. The authorities were waiting. Agents from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement informed him they were confiscating his fish — all 881 pounds of it.
Even though the catch had been declared and the boat had a tuna permit, the rules do not allow fishermen to catch bluefin tuna in a net…“I think I’m going to surrender all my tuna permits now. What good are they if I can’t catch them?”
I do know I met Mr. Rafael while working the docks of New Bedford and he was a REALLY nice guy (and as a Fed I didn’t hold it against somebody if they expressed some hostility for my employer) I believe I shipped out on one or two of his boats, but in the hundreds of trips I made, most of the boats are a blur to me. I will also say that every harbor has one or two guys like Mr. Rafael who own a lot of boats and infrastructure, and I must say Carlos Rafael always seemed to be in good standing with his employ. Compare that with Bob Brown (The fella portrayed by Michael Ironsides in the Perfect Storm film) who even for a man who’s been dead for several years people always seem to find a point to mention how hard he’d run is crews, and how big his cut off the top would be from the catch.
Now what I find interesting about this story is that Carlos Rafael is not some dumb yokel. He’s one of the biggest name in one of the biggest fishing Ports in America. So he bought a Tuna permit for his dragger boat. Of all my trips I’ve only been on one boat where they set the nets (in this case a gill netter) and then broke out the rods to nail a few more fish (BTW that captain handed me a rod too and we NAILED some monster cod for about two hours…would have been an awesome day if it wasn’t February and about -20 outside. Every other boat didn’t have a rod on board, or did just in case a bored crew member decided to toss a line over the rail. Certainly this boat in question did NOT have the hook-and-line gear to land a tuna of that size.
So why did he have the permits? That’s big money right there. I suspect it was glossed over that the tuna could only be landed in such-and-such a way.
Yeah overall NOAA is an evil organization. They constantly cook up Global Warming bullshit studies, as well as studies of declining fish stocks and toxic effects of various industry. They do this simply so their budget will be bigger next year, and they know if they told the truth people would be laid off as there is no need for a massive agency looking at a sustainable resource.
I’m glad I give mice cancer now. At least I know I’m doing good!
Jack reports that now you can’t buy Iodine in stores.
After canvassing local chain drug and grocery stores, we’ve found out that you can no longer buy iodine to treat small cuts and skin abrasions. The reason is that meth dealers use it to make their product. This ban is a fairly recent development.
And just like the crackdown on decongestants this will be just a speed bump as the Meth heads cook their way to fame and fortune (or an early grave in the basement of a house that just exploded), but we’ll be kicked in the balls just for wanting to live in a world of modern medicine.
And don’t we all have a story of us searching heaven-and-Earth with a splitting sinus headache and a plugged nose looking for an open pharmacy when your sudafed supply ran dry….
Can we just declare the War on Drugs a rout and withdraw the troops?
Tam points me to this video
Now Tam covers the whole thing on carrying in cheap holsters. I’ll also point out that if you’re going to be open carrying its a good idea to dress as professionally as possible. Keep the Camo and para-mil gear to a minimum, also if you’re going to be rocking the Batman belt with flashlight, OC, med kit and other useful tools, keep the poser shit behind like the CCW badge and handcuffs. Also keep your bat-belt kit organized, if you’re going to hang a ton of shit off your belt, look like its meant to be there and you know how to use it. And if you’re gonna wear a nice gun with a nice outfit put it on a nice belt and a nice holster.
Still I won’t steal Tam’s thunder. My amusement was that the opposition statement was the hipster pizza boy…and he was fielding the softball of “Guns and Alcohol Don’t Mix”.
No shit Sherlock! There is nobody in the “Go Strapped when you’re legless” camp. Hell even the people who hate those 4th Amendment violating sobriety checkpoints aren’t pro-drunk driving.
Still hilarious was that they obviously needed an oppositional remark for their story (The police spokeswoman seemed pretty bored with the idea) and the person they found was the dorky hipster who probably hasn’t thought twice about the 2nd Amendment, let alone the gun laws in Indiana, and I guarantee would have NO idea what he needs to do if he decided to buy a gun today. Not to mention that I wonder if he’s of legal age to carry anyway.
To further add irony to the fire, do you remember who returned home to Ft. Wayne Indiana recently?
Dark times for bad people!
Sebastian has some harsh words for the man who killed himself with a Glock stuffed in his waistband.
Some people are criticizing him for speaking ill of a dead man who leaves behind a wife and four children.
Nope, this man is dead, his wife a widow, and his kids without a father because he was too cheap or stupid to buy a $10 cheap holster for what was probably a $300 gun carrying $10 worth of ammo.
My shoulder holster is a mass-produced unit so it is VERY low priced at $120 (really reasonable when you note it comes with a double-mag carrier) and I have a $700 gun stuffed into it, and $25 worth of ammo in $90 worth of magazines. If somebody showed me a carry rig that was better (even by a bit) than the one I have that was $300 or $500, I’d buy it. This is not a cheap hobby, nor is it a hobby without risks. You put your $80 stamp in a $2 collector’s book the worst you get is a ruined investment….you spare expenses and skip the holster you could be finding yourself bleeding out in your minivan. If you skimp and buy a cheap piece of crap holster you also might find yourself shot (If you’re lazy, it was a thin nylon holster that allowed a crease of fabric to depress the trigger) or fail to replace a warn holster. Heck a “Better” circumstance might be you chasing your dropped gun across a parking lot where people might notice and call unwanted legal attention to you. Is a $10 one-size-fits all nylon holster worth potentially worth losing your $100 carry permit because somebody called the cops when they saw you collecting and re-holstering your gun when it got drop-tested in the Mall Parking lot?
BTW I’m not talking about a $500 Milt Sparks rig here! Holsters are like guns, you can get a REALLY nice one for a LOT of money, but in the end the difference between “Good” and “The Best” is really academic.
This man’s life could have been saved by a $20 Galco Stow-and-Go holster. Instead of stuffing the Glock into his pants, he could have stuffed it in this inexpensive holster and into his pants. He wouldn’t to have needed to adjust his gun in the first place, and the trigger guard would be surrounded by leather…probably is a LOT more comfortable too.
Caleb and PDB talk a good talk about Blade-tech Kydex. Their products are just as reasonably priced, I see nothing wrong with Kydex, just leather seems to work very well for me.
Also pocket guns need pocket holsters! Pocket holsters are different as they don’t “Hold” the gun the same way a belt holster does, your pocket does most of the retaining (tho the holster can keep a gun from slipping out of a pocket say if you lean back in a reclining chair) but what they DO is keep crap that shouldn’t be in your pocket from fouling your gun, and keeps your trigger in the un-pulled condition until you have drawn it. I bought my Desantis Nemesis directly from the factory (because Midway USA hadn’t yet stocked the PM45 model) and I paid about $25 for it….Probably could have gotten it for $15 or less once Midway or another warehouse starts stocking it.
You don’t need to go buy a holster that costs as much as your gun…you don’t even need to buy a holster that costs half-as-much as your gun, but if you carry a gun you SHOULD carry it in a quality holster. This is one of those things you can’t be cheap with.
The American White Tailed Deer is the most deadly animal in North America. This is of course due to auto-strikes. But not always.
A Fort Wayne man was apparently killed Monday by a deer he’d shot during a cull at Chain O’Lakes State Park, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said….Tuesday, Smith called his son at 9:30 a.m. on Monday and left a voice message informing him that he’d shot a buck. Smith’s son returned the call at 10:30 a.m., at which time Smith said that, after descending his tree stand to tag the deer, he’d found the buck still alive and, in a scuffle, had dispatched it with a knife…A park employee sent to retrieve the deer found Smith unconscious and seated against a tree, DNR said…“The coroner’s autopsy revealed lacerations on Smith’s liver that were in line with internal bruising,” DNR said.
This is why many deer hunters carry a small .22 with them while they hunt. Not only does it give them a smaller piece to harvest small game or nuisance species, but also allows them to deliver a precise blow to the head from a distance in case the deer still has some good kicks left in him.
A shame this man died in such a way.
Not a “Gun Death” despite the hunter having a gun…but like many stories presented here a gun could have saved his life.
Yeah I know she’s an idiot, yeah I probably shouldn’t bother, but this throw-away tag-line from Joan Peterson pissed me off.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Stay safe and try going gun free.
“Try going gun free”??? Like its some sort of default or some challenge to be disarmed. Like Joan needs to put some thought into it this Thanksgiving to make sure she doesn’t go to Thanksgiving with the family strapped.
Now on a post where she equates gang crime with lawful carry, and calls an SKS an “AK-47 Knock-off” and an “Assault Weapon” (note not as a throw-away scare-term, but her screed goes on about the merits of the ’94 AWB that never included the SKS….), I’m sure it seemed “Sharp” or “Witty” to a woman who is likely the mental inferior to the bird we’re going to carve into on Thursday.
Yeah I have all these people who read my blog, and there are a jillion other blogs that spend their time talking about the merits of various gun type, the various ammo types, accessories, holsters, holster types, concealment methods.
It seems my blog gets several hits per day looking for information about shoulder carry because its both a slightly unorthodox carry method, and the method I prefer. I also get a lot of questions and mail about my Kahr PM45 “Eleanor” because a subcompact lightweight .45 ACP of these dimensions isn’t a common gun, and people are curious.
Its not easy to start carrying all the time, it takes a pretty solid effort. Also Joan must be well-aware from her constant lies, and twisting of the truth, that our choice to carry isn’t showing off, or even a fashion statement (BTW go check out my shoulder carry article…its a good rig, and I’m a huge fan of my S&W1911Sc with the Rosewood Slim-Grips. Its a nice rig, and I’m VERY happy with it, it was fun sharing Galco Miami Classic love with Nancy and Shorter Half at the convention, but overall it stays hidden.
Nope we carry because we’ve weighed the benefits vs the costs of carrying and have decided its smarter to carry. As much as your organization cooks up poor studies to say otherwise, asking us to “Try going gun-free” is like asking Joan to try driving across her state for the Holiday without a seat belt and the airbags disabled. Its just a stupid idea…and she knows it.
These are the people who support gun control. I get that the cause is dying HARD, but really with stupid and lies like this, I’m insulted they have the credentials they do.
Can they hurry up and meet with oblivion already?
