You usually get to be President or on the board of a volunteer organization because no one else will do it. My mother was President of her little old lady Sunday School class and was getting grief from the members. I suggested she offer to step down and let someone else more to their liking do the j...

Nice place for $40/year and 5 minute drive. I did a google search for my shooting association and came on a blog where the Treasurer had told steel shooters about the problems. It gave me his email address. I wrote him an "I'm not happy, strong message to follow email" mainly over the Board not noti...

A much better view and longer range than I get for $150/year.

Very nice

I'm not really sure why the EPA needs to be armed.... Maybe your reputation preceded you! :wink: Maybe they heard I was a real dangerous man. :lol: Those guys had zero sense of humor and almost as much IQ. I had a QC program that checked fuel data entry by other people for reasonableness. They were...

Police with "military style" uniforms? They have almost always had "military style" or the military copied "police style." The dark pants, light shirt with some sort of hat look like military Class B uniforms. The "blue suit" with Sam Browne belts look like Class A's. (The Marines just said owning a...

The "John Doe" investigations in Wisconsin by county prosecutors who don't like Walker, have included SWAT no knock raids late at night to seize computers and records. Wisconsin is purely political and is being done to intimidate Walker supporters. DOJ has done a few late-night, no knocks for record...

That's a good set of reasons to have two.
I'd probably wouldn't have been able to come up with "just because they were there."

Shooting a little left

Took the 9mm's to the range yesterday. Me and the M&P9, put most of the rounds in the black of an NRA 50' slow fire target. Some out of the black was from the CT laser which was 2" left and 4" low. (didn't bring allen wrenches) The first 20 rounds from the SR9: 2 in the black, 15 on the target paper...

I see they are pushing the simplified take down. Removes all the fun of poking around in the magwell for the takedown lever.

Just turned on Fox. They were running a video on the Canadian Parliament giving the Sergeant-at-Arms a standing and prolonged ovation. They also had a video of him calmly walking back to his office yesterday carrying a 1911(?) after stopping the jihadi. There are a few heroes around.

I heard that MSNBC went off on gun control. In Canada? Seems to me that the Sergeant-at-Arms had pretty good gun control. It depends on where the open meetings in the US are. You can carry in some states to city/county council meetings. Other places you get to be totally disarmed. I'm sure the crazi...

Good to stay paranoid. Ottawa: Looks like the bad guy was a jihadi out for soldiers and politicians. He was stopped by a retired Mountie, the Sergeant of Arms. I guess in Canada, Sergeants at Arms are armed. Ferguson: most evidence supports Wilson. Who knows what the rabble rousers are going to do. ...

If it's a Dick's gift card it's already spent. Did you talk to the manager? It might be that this kid had some strange idea of company policy. At least when confronted with some obviously dumb idea, the response has been that they misunderstood the policy. Maybe I'll work going into the local Dick'...

He had them. They took his best bravely, but he succeeded in overcoming them.
