On his way east, Big Brother was attacked by a suicide collider.
Antlerhu Akbar! Or maybe it thought BB insulted its mother.
BB speculates that its method of crossing the road involved closing its eyes and trying to get it over with quickly. But I suspect that if the SPLC hears about this it’ll probably try to get BB charged with a hate crime.

Key issues with the blogging computer, a lot of squirrels on leave or out with a Spring "bug" that's going around. Plus, by the end of the day I was seriously coming down with it as well. At least the day started better. For when everyone is a little down, bring in some goodies for the skeleton crew that is working.

With the proceeds from Louisiana State, the Cross Branded Peacemakers were able to buy audience displays. These lights hang over the target and display the time for a shot.
They came in today, and I installed them tonight. Working by myself in the shop, about four hours to install a six-lane set. It wasn't a bad job, but I got my exercise going up and down that ladder tonight.

Since the development of the primaries, the expansion of television, and now the internet, how are we picking Presidents? On both sides, the major parties seem to be selecting candidates on very thin credentials. Since 2000, we have been presented with:
1. the Goreacle Vs. Dubya
2. the Winter Soldier Vs. Dubya,
3. the Chicago Community Organizer Vs. Maverick
4. the Chicago Community Organizer Vs. the Massachusetts Republicrat
5. Monica's boyfriend's wife Vs. The Donald
How were we ever supposed to make a rational decision about who is going to be the Leader Of The Free World with choices like those?

It's also an answer to the questions "Why I need an AR-15", "Why I need standard capacity magazines" and "Why I carry a gun at home."
It was 7 against 3 at 4 AM in Glen St. Mary, FL when the seven kicked in the door, claiming to be from the sheriff's department. Two of the three gunned up and unleashed an answer of high speed lead "No, we don't think you are" on the intruders. One intruder DRT (Dead Right There), one wounded and hospitalized, one treated and released to the cops and the rest are being sought.
The mouthy children from Parkland have yet to be heard from on the subject.

Suspect in Tennessee Waffle House shooting had guns seized after arrest near White House last year
But the Nashville mayor thinks gun control will help.
A Parkland shooting survivor, and pro gun guy, went to the range, had his picture taken and posted it to social media. He was then visited by the police at school. A perfectly lawful activity being investigated because it hurt someone’s feelings.
Someone argued in a court of law that a monkey can have a copyright.

The 5906 was fired at the upper 3x5" zone. I decocked on loading and any time I came off the sights at the end of a string. The DA trigger is easy to manage, but the SA takes some getting used to, because there's a long-ish almost weightless takeup and then a light-but-crunchy break.
The 4046 was shot at the 8" circle about as fast as I can run that trigger so far. The DAO on the Smith is not like the regular DA trigger. The travel is much shorter, and it's heavier, but there's zero stacking and a nice rolling break at the end. You just have to remember to ...

The Gulch has one really good ladder, and of course it does have an owner – Landlady bought it, Landlady owns it. But it gets used promiscuously at three different locations, and tends to stay wherever it landed last.

My friend Claude Werner recently wrote an article where he postulated most shooters don’t do any real structured practice with their firearms. They plink or play, but they generally don’t perform drills designed with realistic standards in order to improve performance. In the article, Claude talked about sharing details and photos of his practice routines to give novice shooters an idea about how they might better spend their practice time.
I think that is a wonderful idea. I plan on sharing the drills I shoot in my weekly practice sessions. Hopefully, you will get a little value out of my posts and come up with some new drills to make your own practice sessions more effective.
I titled this one “session 11.5” because it wasn’t truly a full practice session. This was a mandated firearms training session put on by my ...

There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus [Ba'al] extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire.Ancient Carthage was founded by Phoenicians, who brought their religion of Ba'al with them. You may be more familiar with their Canaanite cousins: Beelzebub from the Bible is the Hebrew's view of the same deity, and they roundly condemned its worship. In particular, they wrote of the practice of sacrificing infant children to the god. The Carthaginians continued this practice, seemingly even after their conquest by Rome.- Diodorus Siculus (1st Century BC)

Ali Farka Touré with Ry Cooder – Ai Du
Martin Scorsese included Ali Farka Touré in the first episode of his Blues: A Musical Journey documentary, Feel Like Going Home, identifying Touré’s music as the “DNA of the blues.” And Dan Melnik blows a gasket:
[Y]ou wouldn’t refer to Robert Johnson’s music as southern rock and roll, Touré’s music is not desert blues. It’s Malian music with deep roots in the musical culture of his home country.
The music that Touré drew from predates the modern blues by over a thousand years. To equate it with a more familiar, more American style of music is to marginalize it. That comparison robs us of any chance to explore the older musical traditions less familiar to people outside of Africa. …...

Nulle Terre Sans Seigneur brings to our attention an interesting French political theorist who essentially visualized as the alternative to Absolutism the same sort of Noble Republic that once existed in Poland-Lithuania functioning, potentially with elective monarchy and all, on French soil. Fascinating reading.
By the time of early modernity, there were various ideas of which organ of the French constitution played a special role. The peerage had its strongest defender in the Duc de Saint-Simon. The absolutists and their insistence on monarchical supre...
Hey good post guys, except that the receiver of an FN FAL (which is the gun actually depicted in this article, not an H&K G3), is steel. The receiver of an AR-15 is aluminum. So cutting aluminum with an oxy-acetylene torch, as you instruct, is going to result in splattering molten aluminium all over the place, instead of cleanly cutting through a ferrous metal, as an oxy-acetylene torched is designed to. Hopefully no one is injured a result of this plainly un-researched article, and if they are, I hope they have the sense to sue Rolling Stone for providing them with these instructions. Way to contribute to the uninformed static of the pro-gun control narrative. This is journalism as its best.

The Broward County Sheriff’s office and Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School seem determined to cost taxpayers millions in legal settlements.

BREAKING: Anti-Gun Control Parkland Survivor Kyle Kashuv Questioned By School Security For Visiting Gun Range With His Father
Near the end of third period, my teacher got a call from the office saying I need to go down and see a Mr. Greenleaf. I didn’t know Mr. Greenleaf, but it turned out that he was an armed school resource officer. I went down and found him, and he escorted me to his office. Then a second security officer walked in and sat behind me. Both began questioning me intensely. First, they began berating my tweet, although neither of them had read it; then they began aggressively asking questions about who I went to the range with, whose gun we used, about my father, etc. They were incredibly condescending and rude.Then a third officer from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office walked in, and began asking me the same questions again.

This is a very interesting, short discussion by Sir Kenneth Clark on why the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome fell. It's well worth a listen, and will make you think about the current assault by the "Intellectual Class" on our own civilization's self-confidence.

She offered you water, not medical treatment. Don’t waste her time asking for medical treatment! Woman dies after yelling judge ignores pleas for medical help – FOX29 Lake Charles
This prime example of our black-robed overlords is named Judge Merrilee Ehrlich of Florida. A defendant in her court was coughing, and she offered water. Sounds nice, except what that person needed was medical attention.
When Sandra Twiggs tried explaining, the judge yelled, “Ma’am, I’m not here to talk to you!”
“I need a breathing treatment,” Sandra Twiggs said.
“Ma’am, I’m not here to talk to you about your breathing treatment,” Ehrlich said.
Sandra Twiggs was dead the next day

The same type of weapon was used at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were killed; it was used in the 2017 slaughter of 25 worshipers at a rural Texas church; it was part of the arsenal used by the Las Vegas gunman who killed 58, and the shooter who killed 49 at an Orlando nightclub.These are not wea...

...Although the same Victrix bolt-action rifle is marketed in the US as suitable for uses including “military” and “law enforcement”, in Australia the Victrix (and similar weapons) are categorised with firearms licensed for hunting and sport.
Gun control advocates have dubbed the Victrix guns “high-powered and military-style”. They warn that an increasing range of these guns – which still have design specifications that allow them to be classified as sporting and hunting firearms – have hit the Australian market.
Gun Control Australia has called for a rewrite of weapons classifications, which the group says are outdated and do not properly codify modern hi-tech guns.
Because bolt-action rifles are just as bad to these clowns as semi-auto, and they want ALL of them banned.

Even when I graduated and went down the street to the 4/27th Armor, we shot mostly (95%) HEAT-T and HEP-T.
But, when I got back there in '85 for the Advanced Course, we shot a heck of a lot of TPDS-T Mainly on Yaho and St. Vith ranges. I feel like I spent the whole summer at St. Vith. As I recall, that was a beautiful range, nestled between two big ridges near the Salt River. That place was absolutely gorgeous

There were a few minor glitches like the guy that got his trailer and pickup stuck and I had to get a tractor to pull him out. Somehow the number of stakes at the tree line was miscounted and we had a few too many stakes for the number of Sunday targets (879). I changed the way we put the explosives in the boxes which resulted in more explosives per box. No big deal but I forgot to update my spreadsheet with the new weight of the explosives per box. This meant we used up all of the secret ingredient and Barb had to run into town to buy some more. We used up all but about two pounds of the Potassium Chlorate and all but 150 pounds of the Ammonium Nitrate when I thought I would have enough left over for my summer recreational use. I expect there were a few sunburns. I got a small burn on my thumb from lighting a road flare with my lighter.

Police in UK arrest a man based on a fingerprint seen in a photo he posted online:

Hans von Aachen, St. George Slaying the Dragon, c. 1600, Private Collection, London
From Robert Chambers, The Book of Days, 1869:
Butler, the historian of the Romish calendar, repudiates George of Cappadocia, and will have it that the famous saint was born of noble Christian parents, that he entered the army, and rose to a high grade in its ranks, until the persecution of his co-religionists by Diocletian compelled him to throw up his commission, and upbraid the emperor for his cruelty, by which bold conduct he lost his head and won his saintship. Whatever the real character of St. George might have been, he was held in great honour in England from a very early period. While in the calendars of the Greek and Latin churches he shared the twenty-third of April with other saints, a Saxon Martyrology declares the day dedicated to him alone; and after the Conquest his festival was celebrated after the approved fashion of Englishmen.
In 1344, this feast was made memorable by th...

I noticed this article yesterday morning.
When I clicked the link for the abstract at SSRN in the story - it was available. I made a mental note to come back asap and download the article. Yesterday evening, the link was dead and the SSRN site indicated that the requested abstract was not found. I then did a search on the site and it listed 16 papers from Kleck, the first of which was the article in the story above entitled - What Do CDC's Surveys Say About the Frequency of Defensive Gun Uses?. Clicking on that link led to the same unfound abstract message as before.
I checked again this morning and received the same message from SSRN. However, after searching using Kleck's name, only 15 articles appear and the CDC article does not show anymore.
This seems like it's a little more than a glitch with SSRN's system. Although there may be other, simpler explanations.

When Finland decided to replace the Luger as its service handgun, they turned to Finland’s most famous arms designer, Aimo Lahti. After a few iterations, Lahti devised a short recoil semiautomatic pistol with a vertically traveling locking block, not too different from a Bergmann 1910 or Type 94 Nambu. It was adopted in 1935, but production did not really begin in earnest until 1939 at the VKT rifle factory. Several variations were made as elements of the gun were simplified to speed up production, and the design was also licensed to the Swedish Husqvarna company, which manufactured nearly 10 times as many of the pistols as VKT eventually did.
In today’s video we will look at each of the variations, including one with an original shoulder stock and the early and late military guns as well as the post-war commercial guns marked Valmet instead of VKT.

I am hearing more and more signs of rebellion in many parts of the West – especially the rural farming and ranching areas.
People are sick of being told what to do in the minutest detail by the people in their State Capitols. Add this to resentment of the Federal Congress and bureaucracy and THEIR micromanagement (directly through the alphabet agencies and indirectly through state government agencies), and the anger grows.
Usually, the mandates result in making life more costly, as well as more miserable. People know that they are breaking numerous laws and innumerable regulations. It is not that they don’t care. They were once law-abiding citizens, and proud of that nature. Even when it didn’t make sense to them. But now, not only do the laws and regulations make less sense, not only do they cost a fabulous amount of money and time, they are also impossible in many cases to comply with. This is not a “War on the West” as during the Reagan era. It is a war against rural people, societies, and institutions.

I try not to binge watch these days. The problem is, you end up watching a whole season in a weekend, and by the time the next season comes around, you forget everything and have to watch the whole thing over again. I prefer spacing things out these days. One thing kids today probably don’t appreciate is that my generation was too small for the entertainment industry to really cater to. Gen X got recycled Baby Boomer culture. We watched the same shit our parents watched when they were kids. So most Xers are pretty well acquainted with shows from the 1960s like “Lost in Space,” “Gilligan’s Island,” “Bewitched,” or “Hogan’s Heros.” My mom watched “Star Trek” TOS as a teenager, and what did I end up watching with her in syndication?

There are many different options for carrying your handgun in a concealed manner. Body type, clothing selection, firearm, holster type, and mission all mandate different styles of carry. It ultimately comes down to personal preference, but here are a few hints and guidelines to help you make your decision. If you are new to carrying concealed firearms, this resource will help you make some important decisions and save you a lot of money.
HOLSTERS
The belt holster
We’ll start with the most common way to carry a pistol, the belt holster. This holster is mounted to the belt (with loops or slots) or uses a paddle that makes it easier to remove. I generally prefer the belt loops over most paddle holsters because they stay on the belt better in a struggle. They also conceal better because most paddles tilt the butt of the gun inwards and the barrel out, m...

In 1963, Britain experienced 5,714 suicides. Over the next several years, that number declined steadily and quickly; by 1975, the country had 3,693 suicides. This decline took place against a rise in suicides throughout the rest of Europe. Social scientists started looking for something to explain the drop. What they realized was that the decrease in suicide had coincided with the progressive transition in British households from carbon monoxide-producing coal gas to natural gas, beginning in 1958.First,...

Obviously, something like this takes a lot of time and planning, and therefore isn't a reaction to last month's foolishness revolving around the Parkland, FL school shooting--although I wouldn't be surprised if the alleged Republican governor's actions didn't add an exclamation point to it. Instead, I would suspect this is nothing more than the creeping Yankification of Florida that has been going on for the last couple of decades. While the northern retirees weren't so bad, the new waves of younger immigrants are bringing their liberal viewpoints with them, and the word from sources in Florida is that times are a changin' in the state that gave us shall issue concealed carry.
Pity, since there is a lot to like about Florida once you get outside the cities.
Then you do it this way. No shortcuts.

I was sitting at the computer, munching on a bowl of raisins. LB had crept up behind me and was earnestly bathing me in “If you need help with that, I’m here for you” rays. I said, “I don’t think you’re gonna want this, buddy,” and put down the bowl with maybe a couple of dozen raisins left in it. He stuck his muzzle in, came up licking his lips and looking like maybe that wasn’t so desirable after all, seemed to think it over, and then…
Guess it shouldn’t surprise me. I’ve read (I don’t know how accurate this is, but it does have logical appeal) that one reason dogs won out over wolves in the “who gets to move in with humans and live long enough to get old” sweepstakes is that dogs can metabolize carbohydrates and wolves can’t*. Hence dogs, though often capable predators, are really adapted to be scavengers – the...
He was going to pull out sometime this afternoon, having a appointment to meet a guy tomorrow in the big city about five hours away. Then the meeting got bumped up to this afternoon, and he decided to boogie. We were kind of done anyway: We agreed we should do it more often and not for quite so long.
One thing I’ve always liked about BB is that he’s not afraid of companionable silence. But no longer having a lot of experience with human company I kept feeling the need to fill the silence with stuff. It became uncomfortable. Yesterday afternoon he just went off to be by himself for a few hours, and I got some single-person stuff done.
Finally took half an hour and replaced the vents on the remaining two Jerry cans. Took a lesson from some things that could have gone better the firs...

For the first time in my life, I experienced an aborted takeoff. Just as we were starting to get going, the engines suddenly allowed, the air brakes went on, and we turned off the runway. The pilot told us that the air conditioning indicator came on. We then for back in line.
I do not believe we aborted for A/C. In light of the recent accident, I think he did not want to scare us.
The more I do it, the more I hate it. Perhaps flying had just become more unpleasant. When I first started flying, there were no metal detectors. If you were meeting someone who was arriving, you could go all the way to the gate. There were lockers you could store luggage in short term. This started to change after the Alphabet Bomber series of terrorist attacks in Los Angeles, then the hijackings to Cuba, usually by crazies who thought they were going to meet and kill Castro, but just ended up in Cuban prisons.
I remember a business trip in the early 1980s where the plane was 1/2 full, and I was served a pretty decent dinner (not an overpriced snack box). A friend flew to NYC in a 747 with 10 passengers.
And the seats in the Embraer puddle jumper were hard and unpleasant. The MD80 Was more spacious but the seats were only slightly more comfortable.
Spring seems to have arrived. Last night was clear and not too terribly cold. I spent some time figuring out which direction for the power switch on the equatorial platform was on. Eventually, I figured it out by measuring voltage across the motor contacts.
Once out and aligned with the phosphorescent line pointing true north, it was taking almost perfectly. I still need to improve pointing by aligning the edge of the wheeled platform to the line. Also there is a vernier speed adjustment rheostat that I have stupidly moved. Still, it was tracking. The Moon was so wonderfully sharp; I have never seen even professional astrophotos that were sharper or more pleasing. Venus was low in the west and gibbous phase is hardly ever awesome. Look forward to seeing some more Moon pictures Anna maybe some deep sky objects soon!
At GovTrack: Text of H.R. 788: Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act (Introduced version) - GovTrack.us
The summary below was written by the Congressional Research Service, which is a nonpartisan division of the Library of Congress, and was published on Feb 1, 2017.
Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act
This bill amends the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act to facilitate the construction and expansion of public target ranges by: (1) authorizing a state to pay up to 90% of the costs of acquiring land for, expanding, or constructing a public target range; (2) authorizing a state to elect to allocate 10% of a specified amount apportioned to it from the federal aid to wildlife restoration fund for those costs; (3) limiting the federal share of those costs under...
It's really quite simple. The CDC buried a study that showed that guns are used defensively nearly 2.5 million times a year because it doesn't fit the narrative. It simply wouldn't do to have that sort of information out running around when we're trying to demonize gun owners and legislate he right to own guns out of existence.
And scientists wonder why the public doesn't trust them.
The gun prohibitionists would have the world believe that successful cases of self-defense with firearms are rare anomalies, far outbalanced by the evil done by criminals with guns in hand. Au cntraire. No less a source than the Center for … Read more
Prof. Gary Kleck is the criminologist whose meticulous survey determined that Americans used guns in self defense against attackers about 2.5 million times a year. His conclusion was, of course, attacked, and he did a superb job of showing why the criticisms were invalid.
Now, he makes a BIG discovery. The antigun Centers for Disease Control has secretly (they have never acknowledged they were even asking the question) conducted surveys of the public, asking about defensive gun uses against criminal attackers, and those surveys almost exactly confirm Klick's 2.5 million uses. (You can download his paper by clicking on the orange button at the top of the page).
He notes:
"Why didn't the CDC report their DGU results? The agency clearly regarded the topic as sufficiently important to insert DGU questions into a very expensive national survey that had never previously included any questions about self-defense, and to do so in three of the surveys.... One obvious explanation would be that they recognized that their own surveys' finding of a high DGU prevalence was unfrie...
Alessandro Rolla was an Italian classical composer mostly known as the teacher of Paganini. He really deserves better, as his music was in some (albeit limited ways) groundbreaking, and was published all over Europe. A virtuoso on the viola, he composed a great deal of music for an instrument that had mostly been in the shadow of its better known cousin, the violin.
His reputation was such that he was appointed conductor of the orchestra of La Scala. The French under Napoleon had conquered Italy and the new governor wanted the orchestra to showcase the greatest virtuosos available. Rolla's success there was such that when the French were expelled after Napoleon's fall he remained conductor until retiring in 1833.
Bootnote: It was surprising to discover that in over 250 weekly Sunday Classical posts, I have never done one on Paganini. I'll have to correct that oversight next week.
Sachsenhausen concentration camp, built by the Nazis in 1936, was the prototype for all that came later. Sachsenhausen concentration camp: Anniversary of liberation | Germany
Between 1936 and 1945, over 200,000 people from across Europe were incarcerated at Sachsenhausen. They were humiliated and tortured, or forced to work for German industry. When Polish and Russian soldiers began closing in on the camp, most remaining inmates were sent on grueling death marches. Many died from exhaustion or were shot by their captors. And Sachsenhausen was also an extermination camp, in which thousands of Soviet soldiers were executed and where experimental gassings were carried out.
It was liberated on April 22, 1945

It’s only still pictures updated once a minute but you can see what’s happening at Boomershoot today on this web page: http://www.boomershoot.org/Live.htm.
My current jihad is to continue to remind terrorist scum that they can’t silence decent people–Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Pagan, areligious, or otherwise, with bombs. And to remind liberals that they’re pathetic shit who can’t silence the voices of decent people, aren’t even effective terrorists, but that if they attempt to become so, we will have to kill them.

At the symposium Thursday, a question that was asked involved the primary intent of the 2nd Amendment. I explained that self-defense was so deeply assumed that it was not even seriously discussed; resistance to tyranny was the big concern. So I threw in a laugh line:
I keep hearing Trump compared to Hitler. To which my question is: "What prison is Kathy Griffin being held in? The same one where the Dixie Chicks were sent after insulting the last Hitler-like president, George Bush?"My wife pointed out later that these law students are too young to remember the Dixie Chicks kerfuffle.

When I was a stripling soldier, I was introduced to computers. Not the kind I'm typing on now, but e an electro-mechanical computer that figured ballistics for tank ammo. It was mounted to the right side of the gunners station and fed inputs from the range-finder into the gun, to help assure a first-round hit.
You can click on it to see a bigger version. When used, you could hear the cams working
For the uneducated, elevation is the angle of the gun from level. Super elevation is that minute change, based on the ballistics of the ammo, to make the bullet hit the target.

Gordon Ingram served as an infantryman during World War Two, and decided to get into the gunmaking business after the war. He though there was a market for a submachine gun for police and military forces, and to that end designed the very Thompson-esque Model 5 and Model 6 guns. These were not major successes, but did sell well enough to keep Ingram in business. Eventually he would change his focus to gun which were very cheap to make, in hopes of finding contracts with small foreign governments, if not the US.
The .45 caliber Model 10 would be his iconic breakthrough design, most commonly referred to as the MAC 10, as it was initially manufactured by the Military Armament Corporation. In addition to this, Ingram produced a scaled down Model 11, chambered for the .380 cartridge. These two cartridges were specifically chosen for their subsonic nature, as one of the Ingram guns’ key selling points was their pairing with suppressors made by the Sionics company.
Eventually MAC would go o...

No, I don't want her forbidden from speaking. Don't particularly want her fired. But I'm not going to shed any tears because the university gets lots of "Screw it, I don't want my money going to pay this vile being" calls from people who don't like what she said.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has removed the “Field Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists” from their website after attorneys for Maajid Nawaz, a practicing Muslim and prominent Islamic reformer, threatened legal action over his inclusion on the list.
And just what kind of horrors caused the Lies Center to put him and others on the list?
Nawaz — informed by his experience as a former member of a global terror organization and a political prisoner in Egypt — routinely criticizes the fundamentalist interpretation of Islam that gives rise to terrorism. As a result of that work, the SPLC and a coalition of partner organizations that helped create the list accused him of “savaging Islam.”
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Somali-born liberal feminist who fled her home country amid civil war and now works at the Hoover Institution, was also branded an “anti-Muslim extremist” by the SPLC.
Like Nawaz, Ali routinely criticizes inhumane practices that are common in majority-Muslim countries, including ...
