THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Anti Gun Mayor ARRESTED For Attempted rape At GUNPOINT!!

One of the gun-grabbing members of Michael Bloomberg's organization, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, recently found himself trying to lure a man into a sexual encounter through the liberal use of alcohol. When the charm and alcohol didn't do the trick, James 'Jay' Schiliro (R) decided to go a different route -- firing a handgun into a wall in an attempt at intimidation.

Bloomberg's Mayors against Illegal all guns has some fine upstanding members. Another one is going to see the inside of a prison cell. I've lost count of how many of his "members" have gone to prison. Rape and pedophilia seem to top the list.


I am the flag of the United States of America

I got this in a email and since it's flag day, I thought I would share.

I am the flag of the United States of America
By: Howard Schnauber
  
I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is "Old Glory".
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
  
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
  
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
  
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped -- I am saluted.
I am loved -- I am revered.
I am respected -- and I am feared.
  
I have fought in ever battle of every war
for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg,
Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,
Okinawa, Korea, and Vietnam.
I was there.  I led my troops.
I was dirty, battle-weary and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.
  
I have been burned, torn and trampled on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
  
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts.
But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.
  
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the unchartered frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
  
But my finest hours are yet to come.
  
When I am torn into strips
and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms
of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen
son or daughter,
I am proud.
  
MY NAME IS "OLD GLORY".
LONG MAY I WAVE.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN,
LONG MAY I WAVE.

Betrayal by Those Who Should Know Better

If this doesn't piss you off, your not paying attention.

Over the past couple of days, the Guardian has reported on the existence of programs in which the national intelligence services of the United States, including the NSA, have issued dragnet orders to Internet and telecommunications companies to hand over data on all of the activities of their American customers.  Ostensibly, this is done so that the government can rapidly sift through the data to find and fix terrorist networks by analyzing who communicates with whom and when.

Read the rest. 

It was a small explosion

Yesterday morning, I was loading some 45 for the upcoming show when there was some kind of small malfunction in the primer feed of the press. Somehow, a primer detonated. I have never, in the 37 years of reloading have I ever had that happen before. When it fired, I went to the floor like I'd been shot. That's that old Marine training to get as low as you can. I was trying to melt into the floor. About 6 inches above the primer feed is the powder measure. It doesn't hold a lot, but it could have been pretty bad if had caught.

Years ago, when I first started loading for my 38 special, I bought a basic Lee loader. If you have never used one of those, most operations, including seating the primers, are done with a hammer. Actually a mallet, but it's still striking a steel pin.

The only damage, other than to my nerves, was a destroyed primer feed chute. After all the excitement, I though about the fact that all of the primers didn't chain fire and really do some damage. I never did find all of the pieces of feed chute. A quick call and parts are on their way.

After yesterdays fun, I think I'll just take the grandsons fishing. A good day spent out at the lake, untangling lines a settling arguments is time well spent. 

Morning music to get the blood flowing.

I like this version. The lead singer, Dave Bray spent 4 years as a Navy Corpsman serving in the FMF with 2/2 Marines. The Corpsmen that serve and follow Marines into combat are some of the bravest people in the Corp. We always dug at each other but when you need them, they are there.
