Moms using kids

Leave a comment

I found this while reading sayuncle.com.  I wish I could say it was surprising to find that these moms use their kids for props, but in naming all of their organizations they use the term Mom rather than women in an attempt to garner more of the humanistic nature of how mothers are characterized and related to their children.

This is a really eye opening video of exactly what these children are to their mothers.  They were filmed directing how to best use their children for maximum impact!

70th Anniversary of D-Day

Leave a comment

Today is the 70th anniversary of the Allied landing in Normandy.  It was one of the most memorable military actions in history.  Many young men made the ultimate sacrifice this day in 1944, and many days after landing.  I just wanted to post a reminder of their bravery.  Although I have served myself, I never endured the conditions our troops did during WW2.  My hat is off to all veterans, especially those who endured the conditions our troops faced back then.

As parting words, the words given by General Eisenhower to the troops before the invasion.

“”
Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Forces: You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-man. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full victory!

Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.
“”

Wilson Combat Announces Custom Beretta® 92/96 Work and Accessories

Leave a comment

Wilson Combat | Custom Beretta® 92/96 Work and Accessories.

Wilson combat announced they are getting into the Beretta 92/96 market.  They have a full offering of parts and custom work available.  Wilson Combat is known for quality and innovation.  I’m certain this will produce some handsome guns that operate flawlessly.  Can’t wait to see some of these start showing up in shops and shows so I can drool over them.

I was never a true believer in the M9 until I was issued one for use in Afghanistan.  Even in that powdery dust bowl the M9 was always reliable and accurate.  First thing I bought when I got home was an M9.  It’s a great platform and my only complaint to this day is as with any other DA/SA pistol.  The stiff DA first shot.  Some work and spring changes can greatly reduce that first trigger pull, and until I started shooting Springfield XDm’s that was the norm for me.  Although I use XDm for competitions and most of my drills, I still love to take my M9 out for a range day.

Everytown Gun Control Speaker Apparently Caught In A Lie About Airport Spitting Incident – Bearing Arms

Leave a comment

Link to source here:  Everytown Gun Control Speaker Apparently Caught In A Lie About Airport Spitting Incident – Bearing Arms.

It appears that Jennifer Longdon, in an effort to make out gun owners to be insensitive monsters, has fabricated a not so well thought out story that has been since been revealed to be a farce.

After leaving an Everytown Gun Control Rally, Jennifer Longdon claims to have been verbally assaulted and spit upon in an airport.  Now I don’t know about all of you, but if I did decide I was going to assault someone, an airport terminal wouldn’t be my first choice.  Very few places on earth with that type of rigid security.

It amazes me the length these people will go for attention and the lack of maturity.  There is no rhyme or reason to any of there actions so why is it so unexpected that their arguments follow such an illogical path.

I can only imagine if some of these gun control nuts get pulled over by LE in a traffic stop.

Officer: “Ma’am, I have you on radar doing 55 mph in a 35 mph zone”
Everytown Mom: “Officer, there is no way I could possibly be going that fast because you’re wearing a black shirt”
Officer: “Ma’am, I don’t believe the color of my shirt has any effect on the speed you were driving!”
Everytown Mom: “Then your stupid”
Everytown Mom: Drives off like a bat out of hell because she believes the officer bought it because she said it was so.

Then the helicopter shows up.
This example has to be what is going on inside these peoples heads.  Doesn’t matter if the ignorance they spew makes any sense, they repeat it until it becomes real to them.

Imagined stories, imagined statistics to support their views.  Always fact check.  Hell, fact check something even if it supports your views!

Open Carry Activists – Pushing too far

Leave a comment

Link to my source:  Open Carry Activists. | Mad Ogre.

Let me say firstly that I support open carry.  I live in SC where open carry is not allowed.  I know the open vs. concealed carry debate will rage on forever, I choose not to get involved in the raging battle about which is better.  What I do feel strongly about is that I should have the choice!  I feel that both have a place in society.  I would be wonderful on a hot and humid day to be able to hip carry a full frame pistol on my belt in shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops.  Sadly in SC that is not possible unless I’m in my own yard.  I’m in the same boat as many Americans that when the weather gets too warm for an oversized jacket or extra shirt that if I want to carry I either sweat and bear the additional clothing, or relegate my self defense to a tiny, inaccurate, miniature pistol.

That being said, I personally fee that carrying an AR15 at port arms into Chipotle for lunch just for the shock effect is a bit over the top.  They have accomplished nothing to further any cause other than birth control.  Hell, even in a combat zone we would sling the rifle on our backs to go into chow halls or other places we weren’t planning to clear a room.  Just like all these videos on YouTube where people go through endless amounts of effort to get the police called on them and then give the cops grief for trying to do their jobs.  There is a vast difference between legal and socially acceptable.  Open carrying a pistol for self defense to me is acceptable.  Open carrying a pistol or rifle for the purpose of intentionally making the general population uncomfortable or inciting panic is disturbing the peace.  The goontard on the right with is rifle at the ready would make me have a hand on my pistol and ready to go.  After 17 years in the military and some time in the sandbox, posture plays a large role in my threat assessment, and dipshit’s posture is aggressive.  Most of the open carry douchebags are carrying empty weapons to remain within the law, so how the hell are they doing that for any purpose other than the attention.  This type of publicity and attention is not the type we need.  I will participate in furthering our rights as gun owners, but all it takes is a minimal amount of thought to understand how your actions can help or hurt a cause.

Heizer Defense PAR1 (Pocket AR)

Leave a comment

Link to manufacturer site:  Heizer Defense – Tactical Firearms Manufacturing.

Caution, their site is about as useful as this pistol will be.

They are producing a single shot, breech action, snub nose pocket pistol chambered in .223 Rem.  I’ve yet to figure out why.  They are claiming almost 1500 FPS from a 55grain projectile.  I would also assume it is equally used as a flame thrower once the bullet leaves the miniature barrel.

Standard .223 Rem ammunition is designed to burn for about 21″ of barrel.  Hence why current carbine length AR15’s with 16″ barrels produce such a muzzle flash.  This should be infinitely brighter and I also hypothesize extremely loud.

This came to light after someone who works there said maybe we could sale some of these single shot breech .410/.45LC if we converted them to .223Rem!  I don’t see a market for either.

I don’t have a problem with pocket pistols.  Carry them myself sometimes for convenience, however I choose to carry a pocket pistol that hold more than a single round, and is capable of firing that round without incapacitating myself.

Brass vs. Steel Cased Ammo – An Epic Torture Test

Leave a comment

Brass vs. Steel Cased Ammo – An Epic Torture Test.

Just read this write up on lucky gunner.  This is the most comprehensive, detailed, and with the methodology: accurate test of the sort I have seen.

I recommend reading the article by anyone with an AR-15.  I would expect the same results to hold true looking at steel cased pistol ammo.  For the barrel wear etc in a pistol should mimic the results found in a rifle.

It would be interesting to see the same test completed using AK or SKS rifles to see how they fair with the still cased, alloy jacketed rounds.  Since that is by far the most available ammunition for that type of rifle.  I would expect the same results, but would still be interesting to confirm.

New York Times spoils story fabricated by Moms Demand Action

Leave a comment

Apparently MDA attempted to use the actions of a pro open carry group in Texas to create panic and fear that was never panic and fear.

Open-Carry Texas members participated in an open carry demonstration near a Jack in the Box.  Naturally when hungry and thirsty they utilized the services of said Jack in the Box.

MDA used the event to spin a fabricated story that the employees feared for their lives, hid in the freezer, and the scene was responded to with dozens of law enforcement officers who rescued the employees from the crazed weapon carriers.

Based off the photos that the employees took with the armed citizens, and Jack in the Box’s official response to NYT that no one hid in the freezer, it appears the entire incident was never an incident at all.

Either MDA needs more reliable sources of intel, or just more intelligence over all.  I was a soldier for 17 years, I feel all Americans have the right to their own opinion even if it differs from my opinion.

I generally feel that I should respect other’s opinion provided it is not imposed on me.  MDA is really starting to get to me.  If they have a problem with firearms, they should not buy them.  They do NOT have the right to infringe on my rights and impose their dislike of something in a manner in which it prevents me.  From absolute closed mindedness, to outright deception, these ladies are really blurring the line of sensibility and respect for others.
