OC weekend

This looks exactly like my 1st car, only mine had a spoiler on the rear deck, and mismatched exhaust pipes. What a piece of GM crap.

Oh yeah, and there's a Walther on my hip. I'm OCing, and nothing's happened, just like always.

Also, Im not standing up straight. Damn CP.

Obama the Narcissist

Check out the White House "Photo of the Day" for Memorial Day.  It really is all about Obama in his mind, isn't it?

I know Weer'd will love this...

Yes, that's 650 rounds of Federal HST in .357 SIG.

9BPLE on sale

Summit Gun Broker has Federal +P+ 9BPLE on sale for $17 / box or $315 / K.  Pretty good price if you're looking to stock up on some cheap defensive ammo.

Only the government

Could do something as dumb as requiring hotels to install ridiculous chair lifts in every pool, for 5 figures a pop!

Breda is right.  Most folks won't ever use them.  Speaking as a "disabled" person, the last thing I want to have to do is use some ridiculous (and conspicuous) contraption to engage in an activity that others can do with ease.  And quite frankly, if you can't use the pool then don't use it.  If they had balance beams as a recreational amenity I wouldn't expect them to modify them so could use em'. I just wouldn't use em' period.

I can think of plenty of ways that people with physical issues might get into a pool that wouldn't involve them having to use that....thing.  I'll bet most of them can think of alternative ways too.  I mean hell, if you're a gimp you've been thinking of alternative ways to do certain things since childhood.  You've spent your whole life adapting, and now some bureacrat thinks you're going to use something that just screams "Ha, ha, look at that gimp!" You don't need some moronic bureacrat to create a largely useless "one size fits all" solution to what was largely a non-existent problem to begin with.  The government, being the government, simply doesn't get that.

By the way, as a practical matter what do you think the result of this government regulation will be?  I think we'll see fewer and fewer pools at hotels, and thus everyone will miss out.

Pork & Beer, Dogfish style

I dropped by the Dogfish Head Brewpub at the beach this past weekend.  I tried a couple of their new beers, White Lodge, which was weird, light belgian style brewed with Garbanzo beans.  I'll definitely pass on that one, as did everyone else at the table.  The Urkontinent on the other hand was actually quite good.  It's not really my style, (I had a 75 minute IPA) but it's definitely something I'd order again when I'm not in the mood for an IPA.

Their pulled pork sandwiches, while good, are not up to par with the pulled pork wraps from the Washington Street Ale House, or the food at Iron Hill, but it's definitely good enough to stop in if you're ever in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  I'd recommend the fish tacos.

An article in the men's room says that DFH employees curse like sailors, yet I didn't hear any of that.  Fuck!
 

Imbecilic Constitution

Sanford Levinson calls the U.S. Constitution "Imbecilic" and bemoans all of the things contained therein which make governing harder.

He complains about the Electoral College, because it means the largest states get ignored.  Right, because with a popular vote the entire middle of the country would be ignored, and national elections would be decided by California and a handful of moronic liberals in the Northeast.

Separation of powers and checks and balances create gridlock and make it hard for government to produce results.  This is a feature not a bug.  Hell, nearly everything he brings up in his piece is a feature of our Constitution, not a bug.

The only good Communist.....

Is a dead Communist, yet no matter how many die, the dream lives on in the hearts of millions of lefitsts and liberals (but I repeat myself)

I stopped into a little shop at the beach on Monday and felt like I was being inundated with all things Mao.  Interestingly enough, most of the Chairman Mao crap was next to the Buddah statues.

I wonder how Mao, a man who killed more people in the name of "equality" than Stalin or Hitler could've dreamed of, would feel about his likeness being sold for profit by a bunch of greedy capitalists? :)
















As Alan said "Why do mass murderers always look so happy?"

Quote of the Day - Open Carry thoughts

"I have my own reasons to OC and I’m very thankful that I live in a part of the world where I can do so. If there are those that don’t like OC, then by all means – don’t do it. I’ll make a deal with you – I won’t tell you what do to, and you don’t tell me what to do. Because I don’t remember asking your opinion, and I certainly don’t need your permission. "

- Nancy R. - OC Day Founder and gentle giant extraordinaire.

This.  This times a million.  Why operators and blowhards get their knickers in a bunch over open carry I'll never know.  Do your own thing, go about your daily business, and I'll do mine.


Also, I guess I've gotta quote Nancy twice.

"I’m a raging introvert that just wants to do my errands in safety."



There will always be douchebags and attention whores in ANY movement, without exception.  The fact that a tiny fraction of folks who OC act like douchebag attention whores has no impact on me.  I just want to go about my day in peace while carrying. I don't care about the douchebags.  I can't control their behavior.  All I can do is carry and act decent and well mannered, as I was raised to do.

Quote of the Day - Obama Working

Obama has the gall to suggest that Romney is out of touch because he "hasn't "spent time working in the real world."


I shit you not, Dear Leader actually said that.  I'm no Romney fan, but damn if that's not the pot calling the kettle black. (hah!)  Obama has, thusfar in his life, spent his time in Leftist academia, next as a "community organizer" and then politician and full-time campaigner.  None of that equates to him spending time working in the real world.

Quote of the Day - California OC

"The state government in California has for decades been hostile to gun owners. The actions of even the most egregious open carriers had nothing to do with that except to drag the politicians out into the light where everyone can see it."

- Knitbane in comments at Caleb's

He's absolutely right, as he is earlier in his comment where he says there are obvious ramifications for gun owners living in CA.  It's true.  Cali is a state which has no respect for gun owners, and where the general attitude of the State legislature is "Freedom!!?  We must crush it under our boot!"  California has been incredibly hostile to gun ownership for a long time.  As a result, gun owners have been marginalized (really anyone who loves liberty has been.)  This makes it far easier for totalitarian leftists to just run roughshod over them.

However, people who claim that OC in CA is "hurting the cause" are missing the big picture IMO.  For years California gun owners just went along.  For years they sold out their own, and for years many fled the state for free states.  In short, many of them did nothing.   They didn't rock the boat, they weren't "in your face" and look where it got them.  California is now at the point where they will not lift the boot off the necks of the gun owning population until the courts force them too.

Should Rosa Parks have moved to the back of the bus like a good little lady, lest standing up for her rights and being "in your face" might "hurt the cause?"  Should MLK have refrained from protesting in Birmingham and other areas of the south because they were more hostile to his rights?  No.  You fight for your rights, and shine a light on the petty tyrants in the pocess.

Do you know what sitting back, taking it and "doing nothing" gets you?  Nothing. Nothing but a slow erosion of your rights by leftists. If you do nothing, nothing changes.

Also, Rob Pincus is still an idiot.  And Yeager?  Why should I care what he says?  Isn't he the guy who had people forward of the firing line while people were shooting in one of his "training" videos?

Oh parents

My mother drew a picture of me on the paper tablecloth at lunch.

Nice one Mom, I look so handsome. Hah

No Class

So Obama's administration engages in illegal gunrunning in order to push gun control, border patrol agent Brian Terry is killed as a result, and Obama's DOJ lies, obfuscates, and tries to cover it up.

Now, Congress passes a law honoring Brian Terry and what does Obama do?  He signs it privately without a word.  This President has no class.  None.  His policies resulted in Terry's death.  Terry's death  is a pox on his administration, so rather than honor the fallen he will sweep it under the rug because doing otherwise would be inconvenient for him.

Wow.  And people wonder why I have no respect for President Obama.  He's a classless, arrogant, narcissistic jerk.  His actions and words as President continue to convey that.

Open Carry Day 2012

Nancy and Breda contacted me last week about doing Open Carry Day again this year, and I've just been lazy and haven't put up a post about it.

So, It's the first weekend in June.  Yes, all weekend folks.  Open carry if you can.  I will, but then I open carry anyway, so this'll be just another typical, non-eventful weekend open carrying for me.

Open carry.  It's no big deal.

Inevitable backlash

When the media and the President actively foment racial divisiveness don't be surprised when these kinds of hate crimes are the result.  This has been the most racially divisive administration in recent history.  Hell, not just racially divisive, but flat out divisive.  Alinsky tactics, anyone?

Of course in this case there will be no Al Sharpton's, no marches, no national calls for justice, no bounties or racist, violent mobs, and no personal appeals from the President.

With Zimmerman everyone jumped on the "this is clearly racism" bandwagon without any proof of it.  There's still no proof of it, and now that the facts have come out and they support Zimmerman's self-defense claims, the media has been silent. Then you have cases like this, where it's far more cut and dry, the attackers are black, and they make the racially motivation for the attack clear, saying,

"This is for Trayvon ... Trayvon lives, white [man]. Kill that white [man]"

It doesn't get much more clear cut than that. Any bets on whether Obama's Justice Department will investigate this and other cases, as hate crimes, or whether it will get any media attention outside of the internet and local Ohio papers?

Or this?
