Cruz vs The Morons

Don't you just love it when nimrods that know absolutely nothing about the simplest firearm on the market.

A break action shotgun has few moving parts and a very simple action.

Apparently it has more moving parts than some ijits mouse finger in order to do a bit a fact finding before making a fool of themselves.

--Good times. If Ted gets the nomination, he has my vote.

Cars

I currently drive a Chevy HHR but plan on buying a new car soon.

I discovered that I have a requirement that will limit my selections.

My largest rifle case must fit inside!

I am actually considering a Crown Vic. Comfy ride and lots of room.

--My case fits neatly in the back seat.

Random Thursday

Today is going to be sunny and 72 and I have to work, dammit.

Bloomberg is dumping his cash into the Virginia. He doesn't seem to be focusing on gun issues. In fact, I believe that stating in his ads that the opponent was given an A rating from the NRA is back firing.

A $175 million dollar blimp escaped yesterday. It dragged a 6700 foot steel cable along behind it. It knocked out power for about 20,000 people. Someone is sooo fired.

Another Republican debate last night. Not all Trump.

--I need to get to the range. Bad.

My Favorite AR-15

I have a couple AR-15s configured in different ways.

The one in the photo is my current favorite. I decided I needed one that was configured to be as light as possible.

It is simple, accurate, clean, no batteries required and very light. On a single point sling it is very comfy.

Even with the suppressor it is my lightest AR-15.

--Best of all, it is super reliable.

Lessons from the Blogshoot

Had a lot of fun as usual at the Blogshoot in West Virginia.

Learned several things that I will be detailing this week.

The first is a simple: Batteries

Make sure you always have extra batteries for your EOTech scopes. Even if you don't need them.

By the way, if the last place you were shooting was indoors your unit may be adjusted so low that you may just think that your batteries are dead when in actually they are just fine.

--I have only made that mistake three or four times...

Quotes of the Week

To him who is in fear everything rustles.
– Sophocles

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
– Helen Keller

Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear...with the cry of grave national emergency.
– General MacArthur

Look not to the politicians; look to yourselves.
– Richard Cobden
Politicians are always interested in people. Not that this is always a virtue. Fleas are interested in dogs.
– P.J. O'Rourke

West Virginia Bound

I am heading out in a few minutes to go shooting with a pile of friends in West Virginia.

I will not be shooting too much today. I will see how much my most recent injuries will allow.

I will take some preemptive Advil just in case!

Anyway, the social part will still be great!

--Big fun! Good people!

I want this!

Star Wars

I was watching the new trailer for the next Star Wars movie and noticed something interesting.

There are clearly some guns in there that are built on AR-15 frames. Have a look.



--It is going to be tough getting tickets...

The Walking Dead

The new season of The Walking Dead is in full swing.

This episode showed the clear folly of not going everywhere armed during an apocalypse. In fact two hand guns and a rifle would be the minimum.

Carol was a total bad ass in this episode. The whole show played out real time as her casserole baked.

Loved it.

--Excellent episode.
