It's Election Day In NY...

...and several hours from now, when the polls are actually open, I am going to go to vote for some conservatives. Let me clarify that - I will be voting for the candidates who are closest to being real conservatives (which is none to close here in Cuomoistan). Heaven help us.

Mother Banned From School Her Disabled Daughter Attends...

... allegedly for posting a picture of her new concealed weapons permit on Facebook and for having been in the military. The principal of her daughter's school reportedly obtained a criminal trespass warning banning the mom, who was also a volunteer at the school, from the school and school grounds. Then the school district reportedly tells the mom she can move her daughter to another school because the district gives her permission to do so. How about firing the principal and how about the mom suing the principal, the school and the school district and how about that public apology that the mom is seeking! The extent of the insanity of the leftist loons and how it grows in leaps and bounds from one day to the next is truly unimaginable.

Next Time I Order A Custom Holster...

...I am going to make sure the holster maker charges me for it at the time I place the order and not at the time he starts working on it. A few days ago, I got an email from Brigade GunLeather telling me that, a holster I ordered back in March of this year, is finally being manufactured. Now, don't get me wrong when I say it is finally being made, I am not at all upset about how long it took; I expected it to be at least 4 to 6 months or so before they got around to putting it together, I just mean they are doing it at last!  Yes, I am saying it was a long wait but what the heck.

Brigade GunLeather M1-Hoplon

The only thing bad about it having been such a long time before production began is that I was  not charged when I first ordered it and had the money. Instead, they only charged my credit card now that they have started working on it. The thing is I do not have the money set aside right now. Well, I have the money but not to spend on a holster since I just quit the job that was earning me my good time money and since heating oil season just began and because my biannual home owners' insurance will soon be due. Oh well, it will get paid because I will cut back somewhere else. Next time though, when I order something and have the money at the time I order it, that is when I will insist they charge my card for it.

I am eagerly awaiting receiving the finished product, I can say that without a doubt. I got the email on October 28th and they say it will be about 4 weeks until it is shipped. The holster is the Brigade GunLeather M1-Hoplon. It should look just like the one in the photo but will also be suede lined. It should carry my Remington R1-1911 nicely.

Today In History - Black Bart's Last Known Stagecoach Robbery

Black Bart, (aka: Charles E. Bowles, Charles E. Bol[l]es and Charles E. Bolton) was born in England, but moved to the USA at the age of 2, started his career of crime at the age of 46. His career of crime spanned from July 26, 1875 through November 3, 1883. He was known as Black Bart The Poet.

When he committed the robberies he was dressed in a black bowler hat, a long black duster and had a flour sack (with eyeholes cut into it) over his head. He was afraid of horses, so much so that when he committed his crimes, he did so while afoot. He was a definitely a different sort of a stagecoach robber, using good manners, clear speech, and never uttering any foul language while robbing Wells Fargo of their loot. Although he armed himself with a shotgun, he never shot anyone while robbing them. His gentlemanly appearance and mannerisms, the fact he stopped and robbed stagecoaches while on foot, and two poems (in which he did use foul language) that he left behind after a couple of robberies gained him the infamy that lasts through today and will probably last for hundreds of years to come.



Black Bart.

James B. Hume, Wells Fargo Detective; his
resemblance to Black Bart is uncanny.





He was shot during his last robbery and was captured not long after that. He admitted to his identity and to his crimes. Oddly enough, it is said that James B. Hume, the Wells Fargo detective who tracked him down, looked enough like Black Bart to have been his twin. Wells Fargo had him prosecuted only for the last of his crimes and he was sentenced to 6 years in San Quentin Prison. He was released from prison early, after 4 years of incarceration, due to good behavior. While in prison his health had turned bad. On his release, in January 1888, he was asked by reporters if he planned to continue his life of crime to which he replied he would not. He was then asked if he would write more poetry to which he replied: "Now, didn't you hear me say that I am through with crime?"

Shortly after his having been freed, he wrote to his wife (whom he had left behind in the Midwest) to tell her he was weary of being shadowed by Wells Fargo men and he wanted to get away from everyone. He was last seen on February 28, 1888 in or around the Palace Hotel in Visalia, CA.

In November 1888, another Wells Fargo stagecoach was robbed by a bandit claiming to be Black Bart. The robber left what would have been Black Bart's third poem at the scene of the crime; however, it was determined that the handwriting did not match that on the previous two poems left behind by Black Bart. Thus the robber of that stagecoach, in 1888, was believed to have been a copycat criminal. Said determination was made by none other than the detective who looked enough like Black Bart to have been his twin. One has to wonder, could that last crime in fact have been committed by Black Bart who, as you will remember from above, had been shot in his hand during his last known robbery in 1883. Was it possible that the wound affected him as to make his handwriting change or that he had to use his other hand to write and that was what made the 1888 poem seem to have been written by another person? I would love to know if he was shot in the hand with which he wrote and if so to have handwriting experts of today examine that last poem and compare it to the previous two.

When I was a kid, and we played good guys and bad guys, Black Bart was my favorite of all the outlaws of the Old West. He remains so today, not that I advise anyone to emulate his life of crime. I guess his first poem has a lot to do with my attraction toward him in as much as it fits the condition of the working man today as opposed to the government full of fine haired sons of bitches:

I've labored long and hard for bread,
For honor, and for riches,
But on my corns too long you've tread,
You fine-haired sons of bitches.

—Black Bart, 1877^[3]

Anonymous Halloween Post

Someone, who shall remain anonymous, sent me an email, about plans for scoring some chocolate today, which is Halloween. Now, I do not know if the anonymous emailer had this plan or if another person of anonymity had it but you can read it here and see the pic that accompanied it. Probably good that the Anon, whose plan it was, heeded his wife's advice!

"To all,

What was I to do? 
To me, its not Halloween, it is one of the 365 Days of Chocolate.  But...I'm taller than I used to be and can't walk up to someone's door and yell "trick or treat!"   It just doesn't work for me anymore.

What to do...how to get chocolate...?

And then it came to me.  Follow the lead of our illustrious leader.  BHO came up with an idea of having everyone send money to him in the way of calling it "free health care".  But how did he do that? 
By force.            ...what a great idea!!!

So...I dressed up (photo enclosed), prepared to go to the end of the street and start by visiting my good friend Bill, and then showed my wife.  For some strange reason, she thought it was a bad idea.

She is wiser than I so I stayed home and ate all the M&M's since the children never came.

Happy Day of Chocolate!!!

OK, So I Am Once Again A Certified Glock Armorer...

...or at least will be certified once I receive my training certificate. Now what? 

Anyway, I passed the course with flying colors and am again a Glock Armorer. The class was great and we had a truly excellent instructor. Heck, I even got some Glock swag for attending the and participating in class. As far as participation went, I go the swag once because I answered a question right, that had been posed by the instructor, and another time because I admitted I had a brain fart and put the slide on the frame without putting the barrel back into the slide first. Talk about being embarrassed but I got a really nice Glock patch for that when the instructor used the pistol I was using in the practical exercises to demonstrate to the class what a knucklehead can accomplish and how easy it is to correct it.

Now that I am again a Glock Armorer, where in Hades New York State will I be able to find a job wherein those skill can be utilized? That is the big question!

My Glock Armorers' Certification...

....expired in June - shame on me for letting it lapse until now. To remedy that, I will be attending a Glock Armorers' school in the near future, like in the very near future, as in tomorrow. I was going to stay overnight at a hotel near the training facility but decided that since it is in NJ, I might be better off just driving down in the morning, taking the class and skedaddling back home without delay once the class is over. NJ is a state much like NY it its anti-gun rabidity and I am none too familiar with all of the laws there and do not want to get hung up over something minor that winds upon being a big deal there - should I be stopped by a local constable or whomever on my drive there or back again. I have taken precautions against inadvertently breaking some law relative to firearms while there. I am confidently sure that I have cleaned all of the ammo out of my vehicle, I say that with 99.9999 percent certainty. I checked three times and could find none - I especially searched high and low for stray hollow point rounds. I am also certain, to the same degree, that the pistol I will have on my person is allowed under NJ state law and the ammunition, while possibly banned under NJ law, is allowed under federal law by which I am covered (that law would be LEOSA and its amendment). So I should be good to go but I do not want to tempt the fates by being in NJ any longer than is necessary.

Of course, I could travel 100 miles into NJ and back without carrying a sidearm for protection but I feel that would be foolish considering the crime rates in both NY and NJ. So I will carry and it will be legal for me to do so. Anyway, since I will be taking the Glock Armorers' course, even if I did not carry my own gun, it could be possible that someone in NJ might deem it appropriate to arrest me because I certainly will be in possession of a pistol while in that class even if it is one supplied by Glock for training purposes. Could you imagine that! Luckily, being that I am covered by LEOSA, I am able to possess semi-automatic pistols in all 50 states. (Or is that in all 57 states, Mr. President?) I really do not foresee any problems but if my back cloud follows me, who can tell.

I have been sick as a dog for the past two weeks with a cold or flu or whatever (hoping it is not Lyme disease again since I was bitten by a tick a couple of weeks before I got ill). I am not completely over it yet but have slept so much over the past several days (for example I slept about 16 hours, on and off, yesterday), that I now feel so much better than I had been feeling. So, I figure that I should be up to the trip over the course of a single day instead of going tonight and wasting money in a hotel - I hope so anyway. I plan to be up by about 0415 and to depart by 0500. I have to be there by 0800 and its only just over a 2 hour trip but you never know with traffic in either the Tyranny State or the Toxic Waste Dump State - so I am giving myself 3 hours to make a 2 hour 15 minute trip.

Wish me luck on my travels.

NY SAFE Act - A Safe Bet To Lose Revenue For The State

Yet another company has announced that it is leaving the Empire State upon the realization that the only empire possible within the state is the one led by the state's tyrannical governor and his vile henchmen. While NY state was once viewed as a great place to commence an enterprise, it has not been business friendly for many years - that mostly due to high taxation. Then there are the overburdening rules an regulations for businesses in NY. My guess would be that NY is surely within the top 5 states that restrict business operations of those in the so called free market, maybe the top 2 and maybe even number 1. Over the years, since my childhood, NY has lost hundreds if not thousands of businesses due to it high tax rates and its voluminous business regulations and restrictions. Add to that the most recent cog in the wheel and NY is limping along, losing yet another type of business - firearms manufacturers, distributors and importers.

American Tactical Imports (ATI) has announced that is will be departing NY and relocating to  Dorchester County, South Carolina. The move is expected to generate 100 jobs in the Summerville, NC area. It would stand to reason that the same, or a similar, amount of jobs will be lost in NY due to the move which is being described by ATI founder and president Tony DiCahrio as something that "...will help ensure a s0olid foundation for our company,"
He also said: "The people of South Carolina have welcomed ATI with open arms and we are excited about making our new corporate home there." (source)

You can bet that Mr. DiChario and his company did not feel welcome here in the Empire State under the tyrannical grip of Emperor Andrew Cuomo and his lackeys, not at least since the midnight enactment of the NY SAFE Act.

ATI is not the only company to pull up stakes and get out of NY due to the SAFE Act. KAHR arms recently moved from NY to PA - PA being a much more RKBA friendly state (source). The message that the departing companies are sending is clear:



My bet would be that others may follow soon such as Kimber and Remington.

Lou Reed March 2, 1942 - October 27, 2013 - He Took A Walk On The Wild Side

Lou Reed, influential rock singer, has died at the age of 71 from undisclosed liver related ailments (he had a liver transplant this past spring). He was known to be a heavy drinker and doper. While considered to be one of the most influential rock and roll personas of the genre, I can name only one song I know that he sang (bad on names, what can I say). Instead of naming it though, here it is, it is a good one - one of my favorite all time songs even if it is about transvestite hookers in NYC. Lou Reed surely did walk on the wild side and will not soon be forgotten.

Today In History - New Orleans' Axeman Kills Last Known Victim

Now here is one that I have never heard of before - The Axeman of New Orleans. Seems that from may 22, 1918 through October 27, 1919, a person or persons unknown, killed at least seven people and wounded several others in and around New Orleans. The attacks were all attributed to the mysterious and elusive Axeman who was never captured. More about him here:

The Gals In The Border Patrol...

...almost never looked like this one during the four years that I was a Border Patrol Agent! They were few and far between back then and most of them, that I saw, were rather thick and fugly and dare I say it - a bit mannish. Well, there was one back then, a blonde like the gal in the photo, although she outdid this one hands down - just never got to see her quite like this:

Things sure have changed since I was a BPA!

The Creeping Crud Has Been Creeping Around On My Arm

Went to the doc on Thursday. I had been sick since last Wednesday with fairly bad cold or flu like symptoms or even Lyme disease symptoms (I know them too well having had it twice). The most recent included: aches and pains for a week, bloody congestion, feeling exhausted all the time, sore throat, stiff neck and a terrible headache on and off that then lasted a couple of days mid week.

Then I went to see my doc but not as much because of those symptoms, nor due to the fact that I had  fevers, for a few hours each day Monday through Wednesday, but because once I got the fevers I realized I had also developed a red blotch on my arm right where I had gotten IV contrast for a CT Scan last week.

There had been a little red bump on my arm at that spot for a week. Pretty normal after I get an IV. Then it got a bit redder on Monday and blossomed on Tuesday to maybe the size of a quarter and by Wednesday night was the size around of an egg but very uneven. Sure looked like an infection but did not hurt, just burned a bit and I was too sick to make it to the doc on Wednesday.

The doc figured my arm was infected, she also said my sinuses were infected and prescribed Augmentin in 1,000 mg pills. I started taking that Thursday night. Last night, I noticed that the red blotch had enlarged with a three inch long stalk moving up my arm from just above the crotch of my elbow and ending in a little blob about the size of a quarter. The redness had also expanded a bit both out laterally and down my arm. This is how it looked today.

So, I called the doc's service today as her office was closed. She had her service call me back to tell me to get mine arse to the ER right away. I spent about 3 1/2 hours in the ER this afternoon. By some stroke of luck, probably because the full moon already passed recently, the place was almost empty. I was called inside to see a doc within 15-20 minutes or so. They took two blood cultures from a hole that they had stuck an IV tube through. The tube was in preparation for later to come IV antibiotics.

They also did a chest X-ray (because I had been coughing up blood, and because I had the fevers earlier in the week, they figured maybe pneumonia as well as the infection on my arm). Then they took more blood for another two blood cultures but from yet another hole they all to happily bored into me (actually the nurse doing it was great).  Then they hooked up the antibiotics to the IV.

After awhile they put me in some hidden-away corner room, in the back of the ER, and seemed to forget about me for about an hour or so. Oh yeah, before the room change they told me they were considering admitting me for observation but I would have told them no dice. As my wife texted me, there are too many germs in a hospital and the way I figure it there are way too many from sick people.

Anyway, they told me at about 5PM, that I could go home because the X-ray was clear. As for blood test results, none were ready yet and they told me hey would only contact me if they were positive for something. I asked - "Don't you send the results to my doctor? - and they replied "no". I said they had best send them to her and to me being I was paying for them and started to ask how I would know for sure if they were negative or if they screwed up... The doc butts in and tells me, 'It would be best for you to call the hospital to get the results in case they forget to call you in the event the results are positive'. This is a hospital with a good rating too - go figure! It was my first time there, at least in 10 years, and was probably my last time too.

I am feeling okay, better than I have in days but the infection was and is a little scary with all that flesh eating crap around. It has not receded at all, but not gotten any bigger either, since its expansion last night. Hopefully the antibiotics they prescribed to me for home use will knock it out altogether.

There is one more thing and maybe, if you are an old timer like me, you noticed it. That red mark on my arm looked strikingly like an appendage of a certain cartoon character (or like that of his more nefarious uncle). Can you see what I mean. If not, take a look at this pic of Hot Stuff, that impish cartoon character of years gone by:



I hope the resemblance is a mere coincidence and nothing more.

Ever Wonder Why Obama Is Purging The Military Of Its Top Brass...

... or why he puts inept but very ambitious stooges into seats of power in which they are totally unqualified to sit let alone run things (ie: Janet Napolitano, Rahm Emanuel, Kathleen Sebelius, Eric Holder, Van Jones and the list goes on), or why he has left our borders so porous in terms of lack of security, or why he allowed weapons to be smuggled into Mexico with no way to track them, or why he bows to the leaders of other nations while incessantly apologizing for the USA, or why he wants to cede our Constitutional rights and liberties to rule by United Nations treaties or why he pushes so hard for socialized medicine as to think it a good idea when a Congresswoman says if you want to know what is in the bill - vote on it and then read it, or why he refused to place his hand over his heart during the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance or the singing of the National Anthem, or why in his campaign speeches, before he was first elected, he promised the creation of an armed civilian force as strong as the military should he become president, or why he is so rabidly anti-gun as to sign a treaty wit the UN to limit our second amendment rights, or why the government recently bought hundred of millions of rounds of ammunition for its civilian forces. Please don't tell me you have never at least wondered nor that you have not arrived at some conclusion as to why he is such a leftist. And please don't tell me you really think it is for the good of our nation.

There is only one plausible explanation and America, it is about time you admitted it to yourself:

 

 

I think you could put any of his policies at the bottom of that poster, they all point to the same thing, but until he takes away enough of our guns and has enough stooges in political office and in military command positions and in civilian enforcement positions, he will not be able to achieve it.

Too Bad But Most People Do Not Think Like This Mailman...

...but if they did, the world would be a lot better off. Most people would just stand by an watch and that is the difference between a do-gooder and a witness or between a helper and a hero. You see, the mailman in question was delivering mail when he saw a house on fire. Instead of only calling for help, or just watching as the home burned, he took action. He not only noticed the fire but grabbed a garden hose, ran into the house and put out the second floor blaze. Then, after the fire department arrived on scene, he departed to deliver the mail along his route. (Source.)

What he had to say about it all was what makes me wish more folks thought like him:

"I know if I…if somebody seen me like that I wish they would do me like that, too,"  (Same source as above.)

No other explanation has ever better explained why a hero has done what he has done - Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You is essentially what he said. It is the golden rule and if it was the only rule, but one we all lived by, the world would be better for it. Thank goodness some live up to it. While most people like to think that they think like him, and like to fantasize that they would do just as he did, the fact is most people would not have done what he did by going out of his way to place himself in danger to save the life and home of another person all while at great risk to himself. And remember, that was not his job, he was not a police officer or a fireman. He truly went over and above his call of duty to save a life and a home; his act was conspicuous gallantry in the face of danger to himself. Too bad not more of us think like him and would do what he did. My hat goes off to Darrian Crutcher, he has got to be the mailman of the year and one heck of a good man!

Red Ribbon Week Or Red Ribbons of Blood Week

A police officer, involved in a Red Ribbon Week school safety demonstration, negligently accidentally fired his/her gun and apparently three children were wounded as a result. The three children reportedly were not shot but had cuts and scrapes. I would imagine that they were either hit by shrapnel from the bullet (which would mean that they had been shot albeit by ricocheted material) or that they were hit by debris from whatever the bullet had hit or that they got cut or scraped diving for cover. The safety demonstration was aimed at keeping kids off of drugs. (source)

My guess would be that this was a firearms safety demonstration. The gun almost certainly  had to have been handled in some manner. I mean why handle it, in that situation, it if not using it to demonstrate firearm' safety to the children but if so - why use a live weapon with live ammo at all. If that guess is correct, then I offer my opinion, based upon years of firearms handling and 14 years of collateral duties as a firearms instructor, that the officer was negligent, as were his commanders, in allowing a live firearm and live ammunition into the same room in which such a demonstration was being held before young students. The gun that should have been used for such a demonstration: a non-firing model, either manufactured for demonstrative purposes only or an actual firearm that had been modified as incapable of firing such as one in which the firing pin was grounded down or removed. In addition, there was no need for live ammunition to be in that room during the demonstration, certainly not in the same caliber for the gun being used as a prop.

As of right now, it has been reported that "details are sketchy". If though, this went down as I suspect, with the officer negligently possessing a loaded working firearm, then negligently exhibiting and then negligently firing said weapon and wounding three children as a result, all I can say is I think that he turned it into a Red Ribbons of Blood Week for those kids. How ironic would it be now, in light of the fact that this was an anti-drug program, if some of these students turned to drugs to help them cope with the psychological trauma some of them (or their parents and lawyers) are almost sure to report they have suffered because of this incident.

If Snowden or Manning Had Divulged This, And It Was All That Either Had Divluged...

...then there would have been a good chance that the U.S. Government would have considered either of them just as much a traitor, or spy, or criminal, or as whatever the government classifies them, as they do now. The 'this' to which I am referring is the seeming breach of National Security, what else could it be called, that was recently made by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Ray Odierno. That seeming breach took place when he, probably acting as a political stooge of the Obama Administration, divulged to the whole world (including our enemy states and terrorists) that the U.S. Army has only two Army brigades that are combat-ready! He said it is a result of budget cuts that prevented the military from training more troops (source).

He has not been fired, evidently is not under investigation for treason, and apparently has not been admonished by Obama.  Thus, my guess that he is nothing more than a political puppet of Obama is, as I see it, very likely correct. Can you imagine that, the Army Chief of Staff is playing political games with the security of our nation by divulging to the world that we are ill prepared to defend our nation. We are further gone than I had thought. Any real man of integrity, who truly believed the oath he swore to defend the Constitution and our country, would have never divulged such even on direct orders from his commander-in-chief. He should have told him "No Sir, I will not do it, it could damage our national security" and taken the consequences. At least that way he would have held true to his oath as an oath taker instead of to his political alliances as an ass kisser.

It's Not Just Big Business That Will Cut Out Full Time Employees Under Obamacare

As Andy Puzder, the CEO of CKE Restaurants Inc., the parent company of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, told Megyn Kelly on Fox News that his company and others will choose to hire part-time employees instead of full-time employees because of increased costs from the health care law (source). As he also stated, large companies have already been doing so over the past half year. The thing is though that it is not just corporate America that is doing so. Smaller business institutions, albeit those with more than 50 employees, have already started cutting back on employee's hours and that includes businesses that are run by fairly left leaning liberals and Obama supporters. You can bet other companies may have scaled back their number of employees to fall under 50.

I think a perfect example of such was the library in which, until just recently, I was employed. It had to be several months ago that my supervisor had me scheduled to work just over 30 hours in a one week period because the library was short handed on security staff. Well, I arrived at work for a 4 hour schedule and was told I had to clock out and leave 1.5 hours early. Why? Well, I was told because if I did not, I would be eligible for Omamacare. Even I knew that such was not the case and I told my boss just that. He basically shrugged me off and said that is what the director wanted.

I went online, showed him the government website showing the requirement under Obamacare that said: 'you had to work 30 hours or more per week for a period of three months to force an employer to give you Obamacare'. Going over the 30 hour plateau, for one day, in one week, did not qualify me to receive Obamacare. I showed my boss, he said he told the library director but that she was adamant that I had to leave work early. So, I had traveled to work at an expense of 2 gallons of gasoline (at the time quite higher in cost than now) and whatever other wear and tear on my car, to be told to go screw myself and go home early even though I had been previously scheduled to work those hours. Luckily that was the only day I was sent home but my schedule was corrected cut a couple to a few more times to assure I would work under 30 hours each week.

Now, picture if you will, the absolute Bizarro World aspects of this situation because the director of the library drives an electric car (or hybrid) with a fairly large sized sticker on the back of it, that sticker says: VOTE OBAMA. So, apparently, the director was all for Obama yet evidently is outright dead set against true support of his policies regarding Obamacare in that she had already begun to preclude at least some employees from being eligible for it. Now, I will point out, I like the lady (but maybe not her politics). She is a sharp cookie and a nice person - but what the heck is that all about regarding her so called support for Obama, then her lack of support for her employees getting health care under the health care plan implemented by the messiah of the leftists! It is, in its essence, the absolutely screwed up reasoning of the left, in my opinion, which really is the lack of any logical reasoning at all and a failure to accept the consequences of your vote. No wonder this country is akin to the swirling discharge water in a toilet bowl. We going round and round, still in there, but all full of crap and soon to be totally washed down the drain. We truly are doomed if thinking like that keeps electing morons who idolize tyrants, socialists and communists.

12 New Babies Have Arrived...

...and I am keeping them well fed on leafy greens and crickets. There are 7 of them in the first pic, cute aren't they! Oh, they are Bearded Dragons.

Here are seven of them.

That flaky stuff in each pic is tropical fish food,
it draws out the crickets from hiding.

God Helps Those Who Help Themselves By Packing A Pistol

Or so this story could well have you believe. A pastor entered a store to buy a Gatorade and walked right into what looked like an armed robbery in progress. The alleged bad guy points something in his hand at the pastor and the pastor draws his own legally owned pistol and orders the guy onto the ground where the pastor held him until police arrived. Can you say Amen Brother!
