Gone Shopping?

We are off to the gun show today. I will try to snap up any available full auto Glock 23s or Colt Anacondas that I see for less than $100.00.

It’s Friday

Here are a few pictures of Candice Michelle.

Enjoy.

On The Ball

As usual the UN has been busy wasting money and ignoring its duties. This time they spent $23 million (yes, million) dollars on a mural for the ceiling in their European Headquarters. I could have done the whole thing with a class of kindergartners and $200. This is just another glaring example of why the US should not be trying to pull out of the UN, we should disband it completely. The UN is a great example of bureaucracy at its worst; expensive, corrupt, and ineffectual.

Artist Of The Week

I am ashamed to admit that I was watching the GAC channel yesterday morning while I was on the treadmill. I did not want to turn the volume up at 0600 and figured that I could just check out some music videos with the sound off. One of the videos that came on was Chicken Fried from the Zac Brown Band. Well I got to checking out their website and realized that I had already heard the song on the radio a couple of times and really liked it, just didn’t know who performed it. I haven’t heard any of their earlier stuff, but if it is as good as their new cd it is good.  Swing on by and give them a listen. Be sure to listen to ’sic em on a chicken’.

Not Guilty

Apparently I was correct to panic, along with a lot of other folks. If this is any indication of ‘that ones’ intentions,  it is going to be an oppressive 4 years.

2nd Amendment Simplified

Penn and Teller rock. Here is their breakdown of the meaning of the 2nd Amendment. Their whole episode on gun control is great.

Caution, some not safe for kids language.

Happy Hump Day

Dang, now where am I going to go?

National Ammo Day

Don’t forget, today is National Ammo Day. I stopped and picked up a few boxes this morning on the way to work because I was afraid I would forget or get sidetracked. I didn’t get nearly as much as I would have liked, but it still made a sizeable hole in my pocketbook.

Guilty

I am ashamed to admit that I am one of the people contributing to the shortage of magazines, ammo, and guns. I thought that I had enough mags and ammo (you can never have too many guns) for a while, until I realized how badly things went on election day. Then I started having flashbacks about trying to afford quality mags around 2002, and started to panic. I hold out hope that the licking the gun control crowd took in the 1996 elections will put a damper on the prospects for new bans, but Congress seems to have no longer a memory than the American voter, so I am stocking up.

I know that by purchasing these items I am probably helping to falsely inflate the price of certain types of guns, gear, and ammo; but I am afraid that if I wait the price will be more inflated later or the Congress will come out of their Inaugural hangovers and stupors about 1 February and drive prices through the roof with legislation. I don’t know what else to do. I don’t believe that the NRA endorsements of legislators like Chet Edwards (who voted for the 94 ban and a lot of other anti gun legislation) will carry any political water when the bans start needing sponsors and votes.

Going On Safari

There is no need to spend the money on an African safari. Apparently there are RINOs running loose in Washington DC.

I found the link at View From The Porch.

National Ammo Day

Don’t forget, tomorrow is National Ammo Day. If you haven’t already stocked up, please do so tomorrow. If you don’t know what National Ammo Day is all about check out this site. It was started by the awesome genius that writes this blog and this blog. I intended to link to him a long time ago, and now it seems that I have run out of time. Damn my procrastination and ADD (I used to have ADHD, but massive laziness cured the hyperactivity).

Nailed It

This post at The Line Is Here pretty much sums up this veterans current feelings about the state of OUR Union.

Human Rights Watch

In another stunning example of uses for Human Rights Councils, a 44 year old stripper is being allowed to sue her former employer for age discrimination. Huh. Kimberly Ouwroulis was fired from her job as a stripper in a Toronto area club. She alleges that she was fired because of her age and is being discriminated against. I certainly hope so. I hate to break it to her, but very few people want to walk into a strip club and see this.

I am about to be very sexist, but over the hill strippers are depressing. Strip clubs sell sex (and very expensive drinks). Good looking women or men are their products and discrimination is part of the business. Strip clubs wouldn’t attract many customers or sell any overpriced drinks if they were forced to hire the old and the ugly. I have no doubt that I would quickly starve to death if I tried to make a living as a male stripper. This suit is a waste of time and money for all concerned. Nobody likes getting old, but deal with it. Being allowed to work in a looks driven industry when you are past your shelf life is not a human right. If you can find other employment as a stripper consider yourself lucky. Don’t believe me? Check out the latest issue of Victoria’s Secret, or any fashion magazine for that matter.

Feeble Minded

Apparently I don’t have much mind power after all. I got no love at the gun store on Saturday in my attempt to obtain free firearms and ammunition. To make matters worse, they were out of ammo in the caliber that I wanted. I consoled my lack of mind control on Sunday by killing a few brain cells with the free beer I got on Friday. It was pretty good. If they offer Shiner Holiday Cheer in your area I recommend getting a 6 pack to enjoy. I like all of the Shiner beers, except Shiner Light (it tastes like the south end of a north bound cow).  They have a nice selection of light and dark lagers. The Holiday Cheer is an ale, so it is a little more bitter than the lagers. I especially enjoy the Bohemian Black Lager. I think I have just talked myself into picking up some Shiner on the way home.

Deadeye Jane

Well, the Mrs shot a 249 out of a possible 250 for her concealed handgun qualification. I guess I had better quit beating her (ha ha, like I could get away with that, she would kill me in my sleep if she could wait that long). She also only missed one question on the written test. Now all we have to do is submit her packet to the DPS and wait.

Another positive is that she wants to carry my bug. I told her that can only happen if she lets me get a replacement, so it looks like I will get a new pistol out of this deal. There is a gun show this weekend that I plan on dragging her to in order to further my new pistol plan. What I would really like is for her to want something a little better suited for a primary carry gun. I am still working on that, but she seems a lot more receptive since the class. The instructor is a retired LEO and he opened her eyes to the fact that there are a lot more evil people out there than she realized. Somehow when I told her it didn’t sink in. So now she is trying to be more alert and aware of her surroundings.

Plus one for the good guys (and girls).

My wife also said that there were 34 people in the class which is a lot of potential new licensees for our area. I wanted to attend the class with her, but was busy hauling some old furniture and other things that are to big or heavy for a dumpster to the dump so we do not have to try to do it at the last minute. I also ran a few other necessary errands and was generally productive all weekend.
