Quotes of the week
Each man must… decide what is right and what is wrong, which is
patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man.– Mark Twain

Productive work is the central purpose of a rational man’s life.

Bears in VA
Someone saw a black bear in my suburban neighborhood yesterday and now they are freaking out a bit. This is in addition to coyotes that have spread through the state, eating outdoor domesticated cats.
This has renewed the discussion and debate about hunting, or lack there of, in Virginia. My suppressed 300 Blackout is perfect for black bears!
--If you see a bear, don't hug it.

Yardsale Find
You have to love a yard sale where the woman has no idea what it is she is selling.
"Make me an offer." she said.
When I looked in my wallet I had two $20s and two $1s. She saw me do this and when I said "$2"...
"SOLD!"
--This will be damn handy at ESS when I am sighting in my rifles at the 100 yard indoor range!
Computer Crash
Posting interrupt hast happened! My computer has died.
I am posting this morning from my iPhone.
My paranoia paid off. All my important files are backed up. I use the cloud for email and other things.
--Hopefully the damn thing will be fixed today.
Slept in Saturday
This is the first Saturday morning in a long time that I slept in and got to sit and drink coffee in a quiet house.
I think I make go cruise some yard sales with the wife. I would enjoy buying some crap I don't need.
I may actually go to the range today, by my self for once.
I will probably shoot my suppressed Glock 9mm. As seen in the photo.
--Just for me!
Mothers Day
Well people, it's Mothers Day this weekend.
Also known as, Take a Mom to the Range weekend.
You know the restaurants are going to be packed for brunch. Take her to the range!
Make the trip about her. Let her do most of the shooting. Guide her is she needs guidance. Encourage her. Don't make her shoot what you think she should shoot. If she likes the .22LR rifle, let her shoot it a lot. If she likes the .44mag, let her.
--My mom died in 1994. I never got to take her to the range. Don't wait.
Bang for your buck
It is a good list but my choice of Best Bang for the Buck is the Glock 17, 9mm.
The Glock 19 also made the list.
--I would also add the Glock 21 was a great value .45ACP.
RIP Bert Miller

I need another model
This time I would like her to be an actual shooter. I want to avoid having to make someone who has never touched a gun look like an experienced shooter.
I am in Northern VA and you would get copies of all photos we take for your own use.
Send me a private email if you are interested.
--It's spring! We can shoot outside!

Running Late on Friday
My children's Grandfather is under hospice care and we have been sitting with him on an end of life vigil.
His name is Bert Miller and his 90th birthday is on Monday.
Why do I mention him on my gun blog? Bert has been a life long liberal democrat. But he was always respected my opinions. He believed in the Constitution and the strength of the foundation it created.
He was the first person to explain the depth of the bigotry associated with gun control to me.
My thoughts will be with him during this time.
--I can hear his laugh, even now.
