A Wonderful Wednesday at the Shooting Range
I had a great stress relieving day as I went and broke in my new pistol AT THE LOCAL INDOOR RANGE.. I have owned shotguns and rifles all my life, but never really used or felt I needed a pistol until now.
WHY NOW? GOOD QUESTION.
Politics, Word on the Street, Conspiracy Theories, Too Much Down Time, the 5 Murders we had in Cola last week....ETC., ETC. 3 of the murders were car-jackings and two were in broad daylight. METH AND CRACK ARE DRIVING ADDICTS TO A BOLD NEW ERA IN THEIR FIGHT TO GET $20.00 OR $30.00 FOR A HIGH no matter THE MEANS!I have always believed we have the right to defend our castle- but we even need to think about self preservation at all times.
I BELIEVE I COULD GO VISIT DURFEE (THE WALKING MAN) NOW,
AND SIT IN COMFORT ON HIS PORCH! KNOWING HE HAS A NICE SHOTGUN TO PROTECT US WITH AND WHEN TO TELL ME TO GET DOWN!
I just felt the time was right to purchase some self protection. I think Traveling as much as I have to FL & NC this past year has made me a little more wise, to what is happening on the Interstates and staying a little more prepared for emergencies. I finally broke down and bought a Cell Phone! Can you imagine that?
I'm just learning to use a cell-phone because I really didn't need one. Again, the traveling put the need for one right up front.
As of right now, I'm blaming
ALL IMPULSIVE SHOPPING FOR GUY TOYS ON
TRAVEL!
NO GUNS WERE USED IN THE ABOVE PHOTOS!
IT IS
UNKNOWN WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS FURRY ANIMAL- BUT:
AND I'M JUST SAYING IT "WHAT IF", A HALF BALD SKUNK OR RACCOON, THAT THE FUR ABOVE IS MISSING FROM GOES ON A RAMPAGE AND ATTACKS ME?
IT COULD HAPPEN!
I'M READY!
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS, OR WEAPONS IN GENERAL?

We don't seem to have the same problem around here - Toronto there are a lot of shootings but we aren't allowed to racially profile the people involved who live in a particular area where the shootings occur.
ReplyDeleteThe murders here - besides the man of the house going nuts and killing everyone then himself - tend to be knifings - but that seems to be happening amongst a certain set as well - and the old lady demographic doesn't fit.
I don't require a gun as yet. I feel safe enough in my home, on the streets and in my car. But I totally understand that people in other areas do not feel safe and I think if you feel the need, then by all means carry a gun. I just hope I'm not caught short handed somewhere! (Of course, you can't carry firearms across borders easily)
sure you can two forms resubmitted will get your weapon across in both directions as long as it's legally yours.
Deleteyeah, gotta have a phone today. . . . on the boat I had a flare gun. . . maybe get some wasp spray in the house. . .

I'm anti guns I'm afraid. Don't hate me for saying it!
ReplyDeleteFirst John you didn't smell that critter stew I was cooking up, had no use for the pelt so I just left it there knowing ya'd take a picture of it.
ReplyDeleteAlright to the serous shit--supposedly I live in the most violent zip code in the most violent city on America. I am 58. I never kept a gun in the house for the first 56 of those years. Both shotguns, though I can use a handgun with fair enough accuracy I like the shotgun better. Why? Because I expect I will never have to use it for any thing but show.
My cred(ability) here is firmly established. I am more insane than the thugs or the cops. I have my neighbors back if they get into shit that is our mutual interest and vice versa...mostly running the suburban white junkies away who decide our street looks nice and quiet and it's a good place to do their drugs. I say their mom's house is a good place not mine.
You know what a shot gun can do if you get the first round off but if you're going to show it be prepared to fire it, the dumbass probably has at least a semi. If not they just drive off and do their heroin or cocaine on someone elses street. It's all about the kids, we as a group of adult men, decided that we don't want the kids seeing that shit...so we don't let it happen, ever, on our block. That's the border line of my community. For me personally it's the fence line.
The dealers know the rule but they never tell their customers, they do a quick pass off and walk back to their homes and then the customer comes our way. Shit why should a drug dealer care about your feelings once he has your money what happens after isn't his problem. We don't try to stop them, they don't try to stop us old men.
ReplyDeleteOpen carry and concealed ownership of firearms everyone says is the second amendment right...I say that is bullshit, they say that and never regurgitate the FULL amendment:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
You a part of a well regulated militia? Why was that amendment put in place in the first place? In case the US Military of the 1700's needed help fighting First Nation tribes, there would be a trained civilian back up to come to their aid. WELL REGULATED---where is that being applied anywhere in the US? The god damn NRA has pushed so far for so long ALL of the politicians except for Bernie Sanders (I-VT)are afraid to take them on.
Any fool who can sign his name and lie on a form can get a legal gun and if not for fifty bucks he can find some fool to buy it for him. That Brother ain't well a regulated militia.
You know what our well regulated militia is today? It is called the National Guard.
I am not against every son of a bitch having a gun long or hand...if it makes you feel safe or like the thugs gives you balls you'd never have otherwise then go for it..have three or four Colt, Smith & Wesson and all the rest of them will be glad to take your money.
For me I have brought the 16 outside twice, I was ready to shoot without qualm, to get the junkies to move along, especially the two niggers that told my wife she needed to get in the car with them and help them have a good time. They were the ones who came closest to dying because they were from somewhere else, they did not know rule one.
1) No one, and I mean no one fucks with my wife at our home EVER.
If there had been no kids in the street I would have popped their pretty pearl white caddy. Just on principle, fuck it, the cops ain't coming so we have our own well regulated militia, two of my neighbors got their shit and waited to follow my lead. They are both combat veterans they knew why I gave them space enough to leave and why I kept that sawed off 16 on the porch with me for the next two days.
There is only one gun law in Detroit and it hasn't been amended in over forty years John.
It's better to have your shit with you than to have to go home and get it.
No I am never armed outside the fence line. I do not fear harm or injury from a thug. I know that greater is that which is in me than anything that can harm me. But in a "right now" situation I am not going to explain the scripture these fools all went and heard in church. I am going to show them the fast route to finding Jesus when I have to.
Long story short the first time I ever said God damn and really meant it as a prayer was when I said God damn all guns.
Joe-- I could never hate you bro!

Mark,
I figured you were near the front lines from some of your poetry and writings, but I didn't know YOU WERE THE LINE!
Sounds like a sound defense you have set up, exactly the way it needs to be done.
I feel a bit safer in my home. My gun will travel with me, but I doubt I would ever Carry it for the sake of carrying it. I usually don't get myself into situations or areas where personal protection is needed. But if someone brings it to my house, or me in my vehicle....they aren't going to hear- "I wish I had brought the gun!"
Thanks Bro!

I think everyone should be armed for no other reason than the impending zobmie infestation that is sure to happen any day now... Bath salts!
ReplyDeletePat--LOL-- Smoke em- or Soak in em if ya got em!
ReplyDeleteLove the Zombie Apocalypse--Look at us- we may be in the first stages now. Loved your last set of pictures my friend!
"Double-Tap" John
Haha - well I think you know by now I'm a bit of a redneck, so of course I'm pro-guns.
