Blood in the Streets Friday

Well Ohio is doomed.

What the hell were they thinking?!

Why won't they think of the children?!

My god, all the blood will ruin my shoes!

I hope they have enough cops.

I hope all the ones that are in the unavoidable hail of bullets are wearing vests! The good bullet resistant kind!

Old ladies with guns? How is that fair? They could kick asses of  football player sized gang bangers!

--Where is the balance in that!!

New Shooters

Took another girl to the NRA Range for the first time. She did great. She is going into the Coast Guard soon and wanted to get a little trigger time before she got there. We shot three different 9mm's plus my AR15.

Before we headed to the range we spent an hour talking about the Four Rules:

1) Treat every gun as if it is loaded.

2) Don't point a gun at anything you don't want destroyed.

3) Know your target and what's behind and around it.

4) Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

I also like to include the two disciplines:

1) Muzzle Discipline - Watch where you point that thing!
2) Trigger Discipline - Keep your booger hook off the bang switch.

We also talked about Range rules and basic functions of the guns before leaving the house. Big Fun!

Gifts for Gunners

Steampunk Gun - One of Many on Etsy

Ever needed to buy a gift for a Gunner or just secretly send something to Breda's P.O. Box?

Well I have found the site for you:

      www.etsy.com

If you need some cufflinks made of bullet casings or a Steampunk gun for your Dragoncon costume, just do a quick search. Searching for the term "gun" returns over 11,000 items for sale.

--Head over and buy yourself or someone you love something!

TV: Terra Nova

Terra Nova started tonight with a 2 hour premier. I never expected so much gun content! There were lots of handguns, rifles, vehicle mounted guns. They don't seem to be based on actual weapons. That remains to be seen.  Battlestar Galatica used Cx4 Storm carbines from Beretta. 

People seem to be really crappy shots. Full auto, wasting ammo, and a spectacular flash patterns are still fun. Dinos are damn durable too.

I will enjoy this show!!

Skye with a gun!

--Hot Scifi babes with guns!! Love it!

Recoil and Screws

This is my boom stick. There are many like it but this one is mine.

I have been shooting my S&W 629 .44mag a lot lately. As you already know this guy kicks like a mule.

One side effect of all that excellent recoil is that it rattles the hell out of it.

This loosens the screws on the gun.

T-Bolt has the same issue with the Saucy Trollops .44mag as well.

So my range bag always has the correct size screwdriver. The screws get tested after each box of ammo. Maybe get some Locktight.


--Wow. That gun is dirty. Don't click on the pics if dirty guns make you sick!

“The Bill of Rights doesn’t grant privileges. It guarantees rights. The only granting is that of certain enumerated powers to the government. The government is not a parent. The government is not an ideal. It is a necessary evil. The government is not to be obeyed by the people. The government must obey the people. The people must respect the laws which fall within the enumerated powers of the government.”  

--Joe Huffman

“The deception at the heart of the feminist movement is nowhere more apparent than in the silence with which self-professed feminists and feminist movements ignore the inhumane treatment of women who live under Islamic law.”

"The problem with quotes on the internet is it is difficult to verify their authenticity."

LA Porn Studio Begins Construction On ‘Post-Apocalyptic’ Underground Bunker

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A San Fernando Valley adult entertainment studio began construction this month on what it calls a “post-apocalyptic” underground bunker in anticipation of a global catastrophe rumored to take place in late 2012.A spokesman for Van Nuys-based Pink Visual said the bunker will be “far more than a mere bomb shelter or subterranean survivalist enclave”, complete with a digital studio, gun racks and a rotating hydraulic stage with amenities such as multiple fully-stocked bars, an enormous performing stage and a sophisticated content production studio.

I Need a New Holster

Beretta 96D Centurion

While I was at the Northcoast Blogshoot II my friend Mad Saint Jack was kind enough to sell me some spare magazines for my Beretta 96D.

These are the large capacity .40 cal mags that work very nicely in this rig. There were three that he sold me and it is worthy to note that these mags do NOT work in the Px4 or Cx4 Berettas.

Combined with the suppressor and an internal LASERMAX Laser sight, this is an excellent Zombie exterminator.

The big question is: What is a good holster for this baby? The only one I have that works right now is a really big Uncle Mikes shoulder rig. It's just way to big for concealed carry.

What I want is a very slim, comfortable, shoulder holster with a pair of mag holders.

--Any recommendations? Brands? Types?

Archery

60 Feet

60 Feet

90 Feet

I have been taking up archery as a hobby.

I go to shoot with friends once a week or so. One of the nice things is that my wife enjoys it as well.

I am now a better shot with a bow than I am with my daily carry 1911.

The top target was at 60 feet. It's about a 10 inch group. I would consider that a good pattern with my .45 at 30 feet.

The deer target is a bit small for deer in VA. Unless you are T-Bolt. I would have not gone home hungry though.

The last target was set at 90 Feet. I am still dialing in at that distance. Still not too bad.

--I am really enjoying it!

The Knives I have on Me

Jumping on the bandwagon.

I vary the knives I carry every day based on the clothes that I am wearing. Today was a simple clip knife and my Leatherman Skeletool.

--My Pa always said, "It's better to have a knife and not need one than to need a knife and not have one."

Mini-14's

My friend Andy over at the Tempestuous Sea asked, "So why, oh why, oh why did I dork up my Mini-14?"

Well Andy you are not alone. I have two Mini-14's and both have been "Dorked!" Each one dorked for different reasons. The top one is rigged for close work and rapid target acquisition. Dot scope and LASER. The bottom one is configured to be light weight and shoot longer distances.

My two Ruger Mini-14's. Each dorked for different reasons.

--All dorked and I think I need another in stainless that I will leave in the factory stock!

Blogging

It was a great weekend.

I spent a lot of time outside in the cool dry weather. The mid 60's and dry is my favorite. My efforts to get fit and lose weight take time. This combined with less time at the keyboard has made the blogging kinda thin lately.

Hunting season has started as well. I am going to archery practice tonight after work. Depending on how well I do tonight I may take to the field with my bow soon.

It's also the time of the year I strip and deep clean firearms, in the garage, using my air compressor to assist. I am going to take pics this year.

--Coffee and off to work. More later.

Walking Dead Season 2

The Walking Dead is returning for its second season this October!

The second season will be longer than the first, thank the makers, there will be something that isn't different from the first season: a 90 minute premiere.

In this preview you see why a shotgun is the wrong gun for Zombies!



--I hope they get smarter about guns!

My Favorite Knife

Your last bullet has been fired and the Zombies are still coming.

We have already selected the Music on our iPods.

Now the question is:

What is the last line of defense?

What is the last weapon you would bring to action? After the bullets are gone, after the chainsaw is out of gas. After even the shotgun shells have been spent. Maybe even after your Katana is lost, lodged spine of some fat dead guy. Maybe even the Cold Steel Kukri ($20)!

I pick my KA-BAR. 

I may need to get a second one (or third, fourth). They even sell the damn things over on Amazon. The Black Serrated version as well as the Classic Marine version.

--Because double wielding KA-BARs while scything your way through a crowd of Zombies, is the way to go.
