Blackwater 53393

You OBVIOUSLY haven’t been around when I have seen the need to use the expletives mentioned. And as I said, “ON CERTAIN OCCASIONS!”

If this is true, I should probably turn bright green and be able to bench press an Abrams tank on certain occasions! 🤣

This was likely a holding action placed by that government as another obstacle in the way of obtaining a license to practice a natural, Constitutionally guaranteed right. The entire licensing process is a violation of the right and they know it, but they continue to try to force the citizens to kowtow to a government that should be bowing to THEM!

Hopefully, other 2A supporting organizations will join this action!

And as the new rules and guidelines are written and revealed, we can expect those purchases to continue to increase in number!!

As usual, large chunks of money are donated by single, agenda driven donors, sometimes disguised as “grassroots donations” by passing the money through blind organizations! These organizations KNOW that they are losing and will throw money on top of money to foist their fraudulent narrative onto the public!!

Wishing the White Sox all the best. I can’t support the Cleveland team since their management sold out to the politically correct crowd!! Edit: I’m part “native American” which I still call INDIAN!!😡

Not all parts of the world follow the same social norms…

“SEE!! I told you that movie was for the birds!!” 🤣

Make a NEW plan!! (I’m learning to sit down! It’s hard, but it beats the HELL out of falling down!!)

Been that way for a WHILE!!

I failed to mention in my previous post that I too am naturally left handed. It’s also a fact that I was made to learn writing and eating right handed. It was a time when some people thought that left handedness was aberrant. That made it easier for me to learn to shoot with my right hand.

I agree with Widder!! I never was a top shooter as far as ranking, but as to accuracy, I found that the 1860 Army Colts and Colt replicas gave me the best, most repeatable accuracy, particularly, the longer barrels. My second choice has been the 1875 Remington copies with the 7” barrels. How the gun balances in your hand and the ergonomics of the grip, hammer, and trigger are the most important elements when it comes to accuracy. Repitition and analysis of your own movement are the keys to speed. The more you work to combine the two, the better your performance will be. Don’t be adverse to trying things that aren’t exactly “mainstream” or or aren’t the “soup of the day”!

And fine them severely!!

Do the lazy for a spell!! It’ll still be there when ya’ get recovered!!

Not ‘til the fuel tank is filled!

Survived the cardio session this morning, (some will be disappointed) and back home just now. According to the sawbones, the pump is in reasonable shape for three quarters of a century, give or take. I’m reestablishing my caffeine levels and catching up on my nourishment as I write this. Gotta’ get back to working levels again!! It’s not that I don’t have a good gripe or ten. I just don’t have the energy to GRUMP ‘til I replenish the system!!

Released and relieved!! Cardiologist, stress test, ultrasound, all good… …for an old fart pushing 3/4 of a century!!

Released!!

The Barrett M82 A1 is the first shoulder fired rifle manufactured specifically to shoot the .50 cal. 50BMG round. It was adopted by our military as and anti-materiel rifle. It and its descendants are responsible for changing the way our troops deal with enemy forces and mechanized ordnance due to its accuracy and destructive capabilities. Most of us in Tennessee are very proud of the gun AND the guy who built it!!

It was a monthly match, I’d already had a goofed up match and I had gone to “let’s have a good time” mode!! The twenty misses couldn’t have made it more complete! The TO called it clean with a P and I corrected him with the twenty misses call. By then, everyone was trying to keep from rolling around on the ground!!🤣

I carry factory ammunition in my EDCs. It’s not that I don’t trust my, or anyone else’s, reloads, nor is it that I worry about after action persecution or prosecution. It’s that I figure their equipment is probably more accurate than mine and uniform performance could be critical in a real life situation!! If they come into my house, they’re liable to get anything from Hornady Critical Defense to 140gr of FFFg behind number six shot or Hodgdon Longshot behind #1 buckshot. And then there’s those nasty 7.62 rounds that reside in my “Go bag” in mass quantities. I don’t look for trouble. Perhaps it shouldn’t look for me.

These idiots will never understand that the tool is not to blame!! The gun, the knife, the club, the rock, even the bare hand is not to blame!! The person holding the tool is the one responsible for help or harm when one of these, OR ANYTHING else, is put into play!! No law can prevent the thing it’s written to address. It can only apply a penalty to the person who breaks that law! Laws that prevent the law abiding from protecting themselves only give those who ignore those laws a free hand to more easily harm the very people that the law purports to protect! The people who propose these pieces of legislation have other motives than protecting the public in mind. Whether it’s political gain, personal profit, or self aggrandizement, they should be turned out of office or never elected or appointed in the first place!

Another match that I’m rather proud of was a monthly match. I was shooting Frontiersman and having a big time as usual. I got to the last stage and in was my turn to shoot. Split pistols with one first and the other, last. First pistol quick and clean, rifle ten out of ten and smooth, shotgun four down with authority! I pull my second pistol and I get three shots off before it locks up like a vault!! Everyone is hollering, “Ground it! Ya’ got your category won!” I pull my knife and knock the wedge back and pull the barrel. “Ground it!” It’s only ten seconds!” I pulled the cylinder, being careful of the direction I turn it, dig the busted cap out of the action, and put the gun back together! I pull up the sights, half cock the pistol, rotate it to the first live cap, draw back the hammer and fire the last two shots. The TO turns to the score keeper and says, “One hundred thirty-seven seconds!” He pauses and then adds, “And THAT, people, is how you shoot a clean match!!”

I have a pair that hold equal place in my mind. One is the first Smokeout In The Hills at the legendary Possum Trot. I won my category AND shot my first clean match! The other is the last Smokeout In The Hills. I wrote the stages, set the targets, (with the help of Whiskey Creek Johnson and Copperhead Joe) wrote the stage stories, and the starting lines. It was a killer match and everyone was happy. I also furnished the entertainment for the banquet/awards/party! It was the last major match at Possum and folks still talk about it more than fifteen years later!!
