I mentioned on Saturday that I was in a car wreck. Apparently I was not as uninjured as I thought.
I spent today in various doctors offices. It turns out I have a ruptured bicep tendon.
Joy.
Basically, When I clenched the wheel and stiffened up just prior to impact I broke a main cable in my arm.
My wife says I now have a Popeye arm!
--Good thing it ain't my shootin arm!
Range Trip

He has been getting formal gunsmith training and based on that gun, it has paid off!
The sights and the trigger on that thing are excellent now.
The trigger is like butter.
The whole gun is super tight and smooth.
The target on the right was at 21 feet and I put 14 rounds into it.
--I was pleased.

Car Accident
Last night I was taking wife out to dinner last night and while slowing to turn left we got rear ended by a freshly graduated college student that had all per possessions packed in her car.
Our car, a Chevy, was fine. Scratched up, bumper damaged, but still drivable. Gets fixed on Tuesday. Super fast Geico/State Farm response.
Her car, a Nissan, was not drivable.
The police came and he was very professional. Excellent communications skills for such a young officer.
I desperately wanted to ask him why he had a Serpa holster.
I was under the impression that Law Enforcement agencies had moved away from them.
--We were only 2 hours late for dinner. At least it wasn't crowded.

Random Tuesday
Incredibly busy week at work this week.
My book, Still Falling, is still doing well. I got a call from someone last night after I was in bed, that was basically, "You wrote a book and didn't tell me?!"
I went to the gun show last weekend and to the range twice!
I bought 1000 rounds of .223 and I have so many mags, I still have empty mags. I need another case.
I could not find any subsonic 300 Blackout in case quantities. All the single boxes were more than a dollar a round.
I found a lot .22LR available for about $.10 a round. In quantity as well.
--Coffee is ready.

Range Weekend
I ended up at the range on both Saturday and Sunday!
Saturday is was the 100 yard indoor ranger at ESS and then on Sunday it was handguns in the 25 yard bay.
We tried out a new PMAG for Glock 9mms. The one we tested ran about 100 rounds, through 2 different Glock 17s.
--It ran flawless. Thumbs up for the initial test.

I am heading out to the Nations Gun Show in a few minutes.
Today's mission is ammo.
I need subsonic .300 Blackout, .45 ACP and the ever elusive .22LR.
I will be heading to the range tomorrow and I will be testing out the new MAGPUL GL9 magazines in my Glock 17.
I will post what I think on Monday.
--Gotta go, there is coffee that needs drinking!

Fun Show
It's the Nations Gun Show again this weekend! June 5,6 and 7 at the Dulles Expo Center. Check out their new website while you're at it!
I need Ammo!
I also need me some beef jerky and really expensive hot dogs and sodas!
I will be buying a mess of .223 and .45 because I have been shooting a lot of it lately. If I can for a case of subsonic .300 Blackout that would be cool as well.
Anyone else going?
Let me know if I should bring copies of my book, Still Falling! Who am I kidding? I always have a case of them in my car now!
--Maybe I should bring a hand truck. Ammo is heavy and I am old...

Vince Vaughn is OK by me

Vince is OK by me |
This was running around Facebook, Glenn Beck and the Internet today from Vince Vaughn.
"I support people having a gun in public
full stop, not just in your home. We don’t have the right to bear arms
because of burglars; we have the right to bear arms to resist the
supreme power of a corrupt and abusive government. It’s not about duck
hunting; it’s about the ability of the individual. It’s the same reason
we have freedom of speech. It’s well known that the greatest defence
against an intruder is the sound of a gun hammer being pulled back,”
Vaughn said.
“All these gun shootings that have gone down in America since 1950, only
one or maybe two have happened in non-gun-free zones. Take mass
shootings. They’ve only happened in places that don’t allow guns. These
people are sick in the head and are going to kill innocent people. They
are looking to slaughter defenceless human beings. They do not want
confrontation. In all of our schools it is illegal to have guns on
campus, so again and again these guys go and shoot up these f***ing
schools because they know there are no guns there. They are monsters
killing six-year-olds.”
“Banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people
fat. Taking away guns, taking away drugs, the booze, it won’t rid the
world of criminality,” he said.
--I loved him in Mr. and Mrs. Smith!
Random Monday

I got to talk with him for a few minutes. Really cool guy in person.
He has been in some of my favorite films. Here is the links from IMFDB.com:
Those are just a few of his many projects.
--He's even reading my book!
