--Have a Happy New Year from Clark and Ray!
2014 Random Year in Review
I finished writing a scifi novel. It was my my second. Now I just need to get the first one published.I started to get serious about Photography again. I would like to have monthly photo sessions with shooters.
I attended the NRA Convention in Indy. I became a Lifetime member while I was there.
The Elite Shooting Sports range opened 4 miles from me. It has 42 shooting lanes including ten that are 100 yards in doors.
I started Weekly Comic Wednesdays! My new weekly comic called Brothers and Other Debacles is turning out to be my most high traffic day!
I built two AR15's. One is an SBR. One is an awesome shooter. The other is still having issues.
This year I got to shoot a .50 BMG, a full auto UZI, and a belt fed full auto M-60!
I took another half a dozen new shooters to the range.
I bought a new Remington 700 in .308 with a suppressor and a very sweey scope.
I was able to attend two live tapings of Gun Gurus!
This year I believe Police militarization has peeked. Hopefully the pendulum will swing back to Andy Griffith.
I went to 4 gun shows, but I still have not found .22LR in quantity at a good price.
My Son graduated high school, turned 18 and started college! Two Kids in college!
My wife had her gall bladder out. She is doing well now. She goes to the new range often now!
I bought two suppressors and I am still waiting for the paperwork from the ATF.
The Church I had attended for over 20 years became a gun free zone. I resigned my membership.
I am at this day about 40 pounds lighter than this time last year. My health is better and my injuries all repaired.
--2015 is looking pretty good!
Christmas Crowds
Granted, it was 1pm on a Saturday. That seems like it will me the most popular time of the week.
The place was crowded by the post Christmas people! People must have been very good this year and gotten new guns for Christmas!
--An annual range membership would be great present!

Range Day
Range trips are turning into social events at the ESS Range. The cafe there is serving BBQ!
Four ranges and Forty Two lanes of holiday cheer! I expect that the place will be crowded because a ton of people were very good this year and Santa delivered a record number of Glocks and AR15s.
The wife will be practicing her Ruger GP100. I will run a box through my daily carry Glock 17 and will also take one of my .22LR rifles for a bit of fixed 4x fun.
--Next weekend is the Nations Gun Show and I need AMMO!!
Random Thought Friday
Tuesday I noticed a crack in my windshield. It's about 18 inches long and I have no idea how or when it happened. It's covered by insurance and the guy is actually coming here and will fix it in my driveway.
I am not working today. Five day weekends are so nice.
I got a big pile of movies from Santa. I watched four of them yesterday. Expendables 3 has been the most gun rich of the films so far. What's funny is Jet Li had top billing and had about five minutes of screen time. Of course, one my BluRay players died. I'll probably buy another one today. First World Problems.
My wife bought me slippers. They are camo. I can't find them.
It was really nice to see my daughter for Christmas. She wanted to go to the range but it was closed today.
The Interview opened to sold out theaters near me yesterday. I didn't see it. But it's a nice Fuck You to NK.
--Coffee time. Happy Super Excellent Friday!
Merry Christmas
I hope your day is is full of joy and ease, relaxation and what ever brings you happiness.
For me it will be full of family, good food, music, holiday movies, good friends, good drink, laughter, and joy! Perhaps naps.
--Peace.
The Stupidest Gun Control PSA Ever Made
These assholes cannot win the gun control debate straight up with the facts so they resort to bullshit like this.
So this PSA basically encourages kids to steal their parents firearm and bring it to school, loaded, into a Gun Free Zone, and give to to a teacher. Imagine what would happen to him if other kids were to learn that he had it. What if he was found with it by security?
There are so many crimes here I don't know where to start. Maybe I do. If that was a real firearm used for this and that was a real school and it was actually a Gun Free Zone, the producers and directors of this "PSA" should be hunted down and arrested.
-- If anyone is hurt because of this, or one gun stolen by a child, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

It's Monday
Running late today but I am taking time to drink some coffee and do some blogging.We have managed to survive another year without massive attacks from self aware killer robots or progressive politicians.
I have started compiling my personal Year in Review post. Maybe I should also write a post about the things that did NOT happen this year:
- Zombie Apocalypse
- Killer Robot Uprising
- Shrinking Government
--I say they all MIGHT happen. Odds are about the same for each...

Ruger BX 25 Trigger Upgrade
The same guys that brought my favorite mags and the 10/22 Takedown now have a new trigger for the 10/22. It's smooth and only draws about 2.5 pounds.
I will probably be getting two of these.
This vid shows you how to drop it in!
--It's almost Christmas!!
