In a prison, where you cannot have guns or explosives, they found guns and plastic explosives.

A guy who works for me from Mexico was singing the praises of Obama and planned on voting for him. I googled up Fast and Furious then hit the translate into Spanish button and handed him the phone. He read and cussed.  He changed his tune.  One at  time, I guess.

And I was surprised he wasn’t aware of it already.

Remember when we talked about pooping while carrying and, you know, how it was dumb to take it out of the holster and all that? Well, here’s one reason why. Seems an officer used the TTAG approved method of removing his gun while doing number 2. He left the gun in the bathroom and it was later used in a shooting death.

Stop touching it.

Reader Mike emails: Any chance the folks from your circle could ID these two arms from the mid-1900’s. One seems to be (obvious (oblivious?)) to me a pump shotgun (but with an exposed hammer?). The other, well, is more nebulous. And frankly the picture is not of the greatest quality. It is supposed to be upstate New York around Rome/Utica.

Here’s the pic:

Ayn Rand was not a fan of libertarians, who are apparently just above hippies and anarchists.

I’m used to newspapers doing that when they’re trying to be edgy or draw page views. But the city licensing department did that. And this is scary:

Over the summer , L&I posted on its website Lawrence’s full name, address and the specific reasons he wanted the permit – along with an interactive map to help users find their way to his doorstep.

Happy 10/22

Mentioned before an exchange in which Romney told the most powerful man on Earth to sit down. And he did. Then I caught bits and pieces of the speeches both gave at the Alfred E. Smith dinner. Romney was pretty funny and went after Obama, the press and others in his remarks. Obama mostly made jokes belittling himself. Could have just been the narcissism. Next thing you know, he’ll be bowing to kings.

The Cleveland police are upset that folks showed up with cash to their gun buyback and offered to buy weapons for more. And I love this:

They not only had the audacity to feed off a police safety initiative, one of the few in the country, but showed up with copies of the Ohio Revised Code that condoned their conduct, police said.

OMG! They knew their rights, the bastards. And this is not a “police safety initiative”.

Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center wants to disarm black males.

Some gossip rag is irate that Madonna would use fake guns as props in her show.

TSA to remove x-ray body scanners that cost billions. Seems that cancer risk they never tested for may be real.

TSA to fire 25 for improper screening of bags, not enough fondling.

Heh. Next thing you know, they’ll be smuggling in Big Gulps and transfats.

Chris Christie would rather people die than give up a drug bust. Doesn’t want to look all soft on crime, you know.

Students suspended for seeing naked picture of their teacher on her iPad. Why?

And it didn’t go as expected

So, I came home expecting the find the family there. They weren’t. I also expected my backdoor to be shut. It wasn’t. Needless to say, this had me concerned. A quick look around and I noticed nothing really out of place but something wasn’t right. I drew my gun in one hand and dove for cover where I deployed my tactical flashlight. And donned my balaclava. Then, I used my tactical flashlight/gun technique to ensure the room was clear. I then went to my AR, ensuring I had appropriate cover that was tactical, because if there’s a gun fight you need a rifle. And I didn’t want to use the handgun since it had a laser because that might give away my position. It’s true, I read it on the internet. I turned on my 8,000 lumen weapon light, peered through my EOTech (also very tactical) and went ahead and deployed my BUIS just in case my EOTech went tango uniform. I wasn’t worried about my 8,000 lumen weapon light giving away my position because if they could see it, it would burn out their eyeballs. Also, very tactical. I then, once again using always cover, swept the house from left to right and top to bottom, making sure I used the latest ninja technique involving a mirror on the gun to turn corners. Satisfied I’d cleared the home of any threats, I then called the Mrs. to tell her what a fucking tactical stud I was. And she said “I must have you now. I’m coming home.”

Ok, so that didn’t happen. What actually happened was I came home expecting the find the family there. They weren’t. I also expected my backdoor to be shut. It wasn’t. Needless to say, this had me concerned. A quick look around and I noticed nothing really out of place but something wasn’t right. I drew my pistol. When I drew the pistol, both the pistol and my CompTac holster came out of my pants at the same time. So, I have a perfectly good gun with a holster around it. Equipment failure in a time of reasonable stress. Good thing I wasn’t in a gun fight. I calmly grabbed the holster by one of the clips and pulled it off the firearm. They didn’t teach me that at gun school. I kept it at my side. I then walked, looking around for anything out of place, to my other pistol. Since it was dark, I wanted the one with the weapon light, which, having both a light and a laser, gives away my position twice.

I then grabbed the phone to call the Mrs. and ask where she was and if she was OK. And to call 911 if I needed to. As I grabbed it, it beeped that I had a text and it was her saying she was on her way. Ok, one less thing to worry about. I walked through my house calmly making sure everything was OK and that no one was there that shouldn’t be. Nothing out of place and no one there. The kids left the door open.

If you decide to through your house making sure everything is OK and you have a laser on the gun, your cats will think it’s a game of chase the red dot the whole time. This is distracting and annoying. They didn’t teach me that at gun school either. I guess if I was really tactical and cleared my house like that, the cats help by being attack cats.

I think it’s pretty stupid to get upset over that comment. It is upsetting that binders indicate Romney hasn’t been in an office in at least 20 years. We have these newfangled computer things now.

Due to budget constraints, a town to close the police force.
