Man Openly Carrying Robbed Of His Pistol
Read the story here: http://www.dailypress.com/news/crime/dp-man-open-carry-gun-hip-robbed-newport-news-story.html
My guess is that the 'victim' had zero training in weapons retention, that he used a holster that begged for someone to grab his gun (in other words one that held the pistol in place with friction only and no retention devices such as thumb break snap) and that he had absolutely no clue about situational awareness or at least was not exercising it at the time he was robbed. Of course, I could be dead wrong on all of that. He might have had a holster with a retention device, been well versed in weapon retention and been totally aware of his situation at all times but I doubt it very much and regardless of all that - he was advertising that he had a handgun to be stolen by open carrying.
I think the victim's biggest problem was that he advertised that he was carrying. Even though I tend to exercise situational awareness (as opposed to what my wife would tell you) and even though I have been trained in firearms retention and have successfully utilized it more than once, and even though I was a firearms instructor (and still am so certified) and defensive training officer, and even though I carry in a holster with at least one retention device over and above mere friction - I rarely carry openly. For the record, rarely meaning usually only when at a range, hunting or walking around in my house. It makes no sense to me to open carry except when hunting or shooting at a range or in my home.
I live in NY, where open carry is mostly forbidden. Yet, even if I lived in Arizona, Alaska, New Hampshire or other places where it is legal to carry openly, I probably would not do so. I prefer that pistol be my ace in the hole and a big surprise that gives me the winning hand when I show it and if need be shoot it. I don't need to advertise to the world that I have it, at any given time, nor do I want to show it off and tempt others to take it away from me or to act like arsehats because I am carrying. That's because anyone can be jumped at any time and caught unaware, especially in urban situations where you are used to a lot of people around you. Even those of us with weapons retention training, who have a holster with a retention device or two, sometimes could have a weapon taken away from us if accosted by surprise, and or by someone stronger, and or by multiple assailants. Why give them an advantage or the temptation by letting them know you have a gun with you. I seriously doubt that you walk around with hundreds of dollars in plain view just begging to be robbed so why do likewise with a pistol.
Keeping your handgun concealed when legal, as opposed to open carrying and letting the world see it, is not always going to keep it from being taken away from you but it goes a long way toward them not trying to take it simply because they don't know you have it. Concealment is not the only thing that will help assure you retain your firearm but it is a good one. While there is no perfect solution, no end all be all method of perfect weapon retention, there are some other things that will help assure you keep retention of it. They are: carrying it in a high quality belt (not a clip on) holster with at least one or more retention devices, securing the holster to your person with a strong high quality belt, getting trained in (and practicing) weapon retention, and learning about and trying to maintain situational awareness so you can either avoid potential dangerous situations or at least be ready for them if you cannot avoid them. Having the right mindset, one that will actually lead you to accomplish all of the things I just mentioned is a good place to start.
Now, if you want to have a different mindset and whine, bitch and moan that all this is not for you but is just bullshit being spouted off by me - well, that's okay by me. If you wind up like Joe Knowitall Arsehat and have your gun stolen, or worse yet have it taken away and are then killed with it, I may shed a tear. Then again, you could have saved me that tear and you might have survived if only you hadn't known better.
Believe me when I say this, I do not give advice like this lightly, nor as a know-it-all gun guru or as a smugly superior former LEO nor as an elitist firearms instructor. I am none of those but I do give advice like this as someone in the know who has been there and done that - more than once. In other words, I have been lucky enough to have been in fights for my life, multiple times, where gun retention was the key to my survival because the bad guys were trying to take my gun away from me and kill me with it. I know that for a fact in one instance because that is what the defendant told the judge when he went to trial and then received time served and was deported by a leftist federal judge out in CA. I know for a fact in the other case because they kept telling me they were going to kill me and they tried their best to get that done.
I have the bite scar on my arm where the one tonk bit me after he failed to get my revolver away from me in my Border Patrol days. Another time I had at least five assailants kicking the crap out of me (they fractured my sternum and probably snapped my zyphoid process) as they took a handcuffed prisoner away from me and almost dragged me into Mexico because my arm somehow got tangled in the cuffs. That I am still here to write about it should tell you something and I am telling you it is because I held onto my gun.
Why is it I was able to hold onto my revolver in each of those instances? Well, because I was wearing a retention holster, was trained in firearms retention and practiced it, and had the mindset to fight like a mule and come out as the winner. Had my attackers not known where my gun was located because it had been concealed, I probably would have been even better off to begin with but I was obligated to open carry for my job. Man that was way back when and I am here today because they couldn't get it away from me. I've had other encounters where criminals and arsehats tried to take it from me even though it was concealed and in each of those cases they never came really close to getting it because it had been concealed.
So, as far as you taking my advice goes, don't take it as perfect. Anything I can say on the subject is not a failsafe and bad shit can still happen to you even if you do everything I recommended. The thing about it is though - that advice can also give you the winning edge. Take it or leave it, it is up to you. If you don't take though, and are ever accosted where a bad guy gets the drop on you, you may wish you had taken it; by then though, it likely will be to late to do you any good.

| Not only is this person tempting fate by open carrying in a holster, apparently without additional retention devices, but he is also advertising his wallet. |

Suds, Suds And More Suds And Then Some
These are a couple of funny videos. The first one is funny and I included it here for obvious reasons other than it being just funny; the men will appreciate that.
The second one is absolutely hilarious and all else I will say about it is that the are lucky that the fat body did not have a heart attack or break his neck.

I Would Much Prefer Cap Guns, Cork Guns and BB Guns...
...for my kids, if I still had young ones, to anything Nerf. Yet, even I have to admit that the Nerf Battle Racer looks pretty cool and like it's lots of fun. I would probably have to buy one for my son if he was still that young - that is if I was independently wealthy. Despite the fact that it can hold four weapons, has storage for extra Nerf darts, has ball bearing wheel hubs, can turn on a dime - I would not shell out almost $700 for it before taxes. Yes, that is just about the going price on Amazon as per this article.
Sure looks like fun though:

Mossberg 44 U.S. - U.S. Property
Tonight, I finished cleaning up the Mossberg 44 U.S. (a) rifle that I bought recently. While the rifle is in pretty nice condition, there were some disappointments I found when stripping it for cleaning but I'll hold off on that for another post. What I really want to post about now is a little info on my other Mossberg 44 U.S., the one marked U.S Property that I got from the CMP several years ago.
I took it out this evening to compare it to the newer one. There are some marked differences between them. Regarding the bolt assemblies, it was especially notable that there were different firing pins and different cuts in the bolt. The trigger assemblies were also different. The newer one, the 44 U.S. (a), which is a civilian market gun, has an adjustable trigger pull. The older military trainer, 44 U.S. marked U.S. Property does not have an adjustable trigger. The military trainer also has a serial number while the civilian or commercial version does not; Mossberg reportedly only started putting serial numbers on all of their guns in the 1960's, prior to that they only put serial numbers on military versions of the Mossberg 44 U.S. rifles.
I took a good look at the serial number on my 44 U.S.. It is a difficult to read because of the Parkerized finish of the rifle; however it is plain enough to see if your eyes are good. I had to double up two pairs of reading glasses to see it okay. The serial number is 101911. The neat thing about that is that as far as I can determine, that number means my 44 U.S. was manufactured in the first year of production for these rifles - 1943. Not only was it made in the first year of production but it was among those in the first contract for these rifles. The serial number rage in that first military contract for the 44 U.S. was 100,001-114,500 (source) which also means that my rifle was within the first 2,000 produced. I have no clue if it being manufactured with the first contract run, in the first year of production, makes it more valuable but I am guessing that to a diehard collector such might be the case. That really does not matter, I do not plan to sell it, it is a tack driver.
I can only hope that those in our military who trained with this rifle became deadeye shots because of it and that their shooting skills helped them survive WWII.

So Why Is Trump Still In The Lead...
...in the race for the Republican nomination? Many Republicans, who claim to be conservative, rant and rave against Trump saying he will be the end of the Republican Party and scratch their heads in wonder as to why he is doing so well. Sadly, they just don't seem to grasp the point that they, those RINOs (as in the ones doing the complaining), already put an end to the Republican Party as we knew it. It was they who allowed Trump to step right in and scoop up Republican votes with Cruz a fairly close second (another outsider if you listen to the RINOs).
How the RINOs can be so dumbfounded about Trump being so popular, mostly because of the ineptness of the Republican Party, is beyond me. I imagine it is that RINOs are just like liberals and leftists and find it difficult to accept responsibility for their shortcomings. Anyway,I can not say it as well as Ann Coulter said it, read what she said here:
http://freedomsback.com/ann-coulter/gop-baffled-as-voters-rally-to-popular-candidate/
I'd much rather see Cruz in the White House but even I have to admit, Trump is a better choice than any other candidate besides Cruz. I will have no problem voting for him if he wins the nomination and I will then just hope and pray he keeps half of his campaign promises. As for those among you who say they would never vote for Trump al I can say is that you had best wake up if he wins the nomination because otherwise it is going to be Clinton or Sanders taking the top spot. Heaven help us if so because then we may be left with no other recourse than prayer or revolution and prayer has not been working all that well over the past 7 plus years.

Hey President Obama, Still Think Your Deal With Iran Was So Great?
Iran is doing almost everything imaginable to violate the terms of our deal with them and to violate the latest UN resolution forbidding them from making purchases of military hardware. The Russians seem ready to sell to them. Who would have thunk that a country that made a deal with the Obamessiah would violate it before the ink was dry! See more here.
Makes me wonder, should we nuke them now or wait until they are capable of nuking us and we (or Israel) have incoming ICBMs from them.

So A Cop Sees You At The Moment You Decide To Take Out Your Knife...
...for whatever legitimate reason, maybe you and your wife are doing lawn work in front of your house and you need to cut something. When he sees you reach for your knife, your wife is, let's say, 40 feet away from you with her back to you. The cop shouts "Police, don't move" (which he does not have to do) but you are already in motion and keep pulling out the knife and the cop shoots you dead. Would the cop be justified? Maybe so if you were pulling out this knife:

Why anyone would want to carry that type of a knife is beyond me because I think here are plenty of legitimate situations in which you could take it out and have it mistaken as a gun and thus have your intentions mistaken too. Hell, if I saw you pulling it out pointed at me, there is a chance I'd act in my own defense and quite possibly with deadly force.

One Man's Trash...
...is not exactly my treasure (unless you want to pay me big bucks for it) but it certainly stands to become a useful piece of furniture in my life. I found this beauty, yesterday evening in Chinatown, on my way to a restaurant with my friend Pete. It was stuck between a wood kitchen chair and several trash bags at curbside. A cursory glance had me thinking it was good find and as we passed it I told Pete it would be mine, if still there when we got back and if in good condition. We spent a lot more time in the restaurant, evidently because the waiter forgot we had ordered a Peking Duck. Our guess was he had told the chef to cook it right after we ordered, but he had forgotten all about it since he later said we never ordered it. By the time we got it, probably over an hour and fifteen minutes after we ordered it, it was pretty well done and fairly dry for a duck. It took so long to get served, that halfway through it, Pete decided to go back out to the car, a few blocks away, to feed the meter. It was only good for two hours. When he came back, I asked if he had taken the chair and hidden it in the back of his SUV. He just gave me a sly smile and a bit of a chuckle.
Well, soon enough, we were out of the restaurant but not headed back toward the chair. We were off to a local store for something Pete needed for his kitchen. I figured if they didn't have at this place in Chinatown, no one has it locally. We got there just as a man and woman were hurriedly pulling a few outside displays off the street and back into he store. It was closing time by they graciously let us take a quick loo for the item Pete wanted. They had no clue what it was when he asked for a flame tamer but he found it in a few minutes with a different name on it. Regardless of the name of it, it was what he wanted and he scooped one up.
We trudged back toward the car (and that chair) through the snow, yeah it was pretty cold and snowing last night even though it's in the 50s right now, and as we walked I hoped the chair was still there and in good shape. As we got close, we could see it was still there. So, Pete hadn't grabbed it after all! I pulled it away from the trash and opened it up. At first glance, it looked to be in very good condition - dare I say - considering its age. I am guessing it was made in the sixties or earlier. I don't think these were made anymore in the seventies, maybe though it could be that young but probably not any younger. When I got it home, I saw there was a piece of clear packaging tape around one corner of he seat. I took it off, hoping the corner would not pull apart and was not disappointed. It looks as if maybe someone had glued the corner back together. It's quite possible the joint came loose being the chair must be pretty old. If someone did glue it back together, he did a good job.
Since there are no maker's marks or labels on the chair (there hay have been once upon a time), I am probably going to keep it and get some use out of it. Had there been a label on it, from a desirable maker, it may have been worth selling. Anyway, I should be able to put it to good use and have already sat in it this morning while starting to clean my latest firearms acquisition - a Mossberg 44 U.S.(a). The nice thing about it, besides it being in such good shape, is that when I don't need it I can fold it up and stash it away. It was one man's trash and while not my treasure, I certainly should get a lot of good use out of it.All the best,

Who In The World Sleeps With A Pillow Over Their Head?
Apparently, Antonin Scalia did just that because investigators looking into his death did not find it at all suspicious that when his body was found, his head was under a pillow. Everything else was supposedly neat, his hands folded on his chest, clothes not wrinkled, sheets not ruffled. It is almost as if Justice Scalia had died as soon as he got into bed otherwise wouldn't the bed and his clothing be ruffled and how did that pillow get over his head if his hands were folded on his chest! I guess maybe it absolutely must be that he himself put it there, then folded his hands over his chest and died immediately.
Although, one who is at all skeptical must wonder, could it be that maybe someone had suffocated him, then smoothed everything out and crossed his hands over his body and just left the pillow in place to show it had been a homicide. Or did the pillow wind up on his head due to the death throes of him having a heart attack - unlikely considering how they found everything else so unruffled. Of course, I suppose he really could have put the pillow there to block out light, instead of just using the blinders or whatever you call masks all high end resorts make available to their guest to place over their eyes when they sleep. I am just tossing stuff out there, let's face it folks, the investigators looking into this evidently have not done a lot of investigating considering the positioning of the pillow.
The owner of the resort has reportedly stated that he found Justice Scalia's body in that condition, head under pillow. Yet somehow, investigators say there were no signs of foul play. I would have thought that the death of a Supreme Court Justice, who supposedly was in good health, whose body was found with a pillow over his head, would have resulted in an autopsy being performed before a final statement as to the cause of his death. I say so if only because it is not normal for folks to sleep with a pillow over their heads; it makes it just a little stuffy when trying to breath so the great majority of folks do not do it.
Only in a faerie tale would I think it likely that an autopsy would not be done (or at least more of an investigation, and that it would be immediately accepted that the death was due to natural causes and thus everyone lived happily ever after in the kingdom of the Obamessiah. Then again, maybe this is a faerie tale since his death has been ruled as occurring because of natural causes by Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara. I kid you not, that is her name as reported in the media - Cinderela! Source. Of course, more investigation, that has not been reported in the media, may well have been done - such as the examination of hall surveillance tapes to see if anyone went in or out of his room besides him.
Anyway, with what has been reported so far, the conspiracy theorists and even normal skeptical folks are going to have a field day with this one.

Although, one who is at all skeptical must wonder, could it be that maybe someone had suffocated him, then smoothed everything out and crossed his hands over his body and just left the pillow in place to show it had been a homicide. Or did the pillow wind up on his head due to the death throes of him having a heart attack - unlikely considering how they found everything else so unruffled. Of course, I suppose he really could have put the pillow there to block out light, instead of just using the blinders or whatever you call masks all high end resorts make available to their guest to place over their eyes when they sleep. I am just tossing stuff out there, let's face it folks, the investigators looking into this evidently have not done a lot of investigating considering the positioning of the pillow.
The owner of the resort has reportedly stated that he found Justice Scalia's body in that condition, head under pillow. Yet somehow, investigators say there were no signs of foul play. I would have thought that the death of a Supreme Court Justice, who supposedly was in good health, whose body was found with a pillow over his head, would have resulted in an autopsy being performed before a final statement as to the cause of his death. I say so if only because it is not normal for folks to sleep with a pillow over their heads; it makes it just a little stuffy when trying to breath so the great majority of folks do not do it.
Only in a faerie tale would I think it likely that an autopsy would not be done (or at least more of an investigation, and that it would be immediately accepted that the death was due to natural causes and thus everyone lived happily ever after in the kingdom of the Obamessiah. Then again, maybe this is a faerie tale since his death has been ruled as occurring because of natural causes by Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara. I kid you not, that is her name as reported in the media - Cinderela! Source. Of course, more investigation, that has not been reported in the media, may well have been done - such as the examination of hall surveillance tapes to see if anyone went in or out of his room besides him.
Anyway, with what has been reported so far, the conspiracy theorists and even normal skeptical folks are going to have a field day with this one.

Another Valentine For My Lady Readers
This is a photo of a winter blooming rose. I took the shot either a couple of days before Christmas 2015 or a couple days before New Years Day 2016, I cannot remember which but think it was just before Christmas. It was so warm out there is still an aphid in one of the folds of the flower.
All the best,

I Bet Those Beer Bottles Cracked...
...or popped their tops and that the beer cans at least bulged out of shape if not popped open. I mean the ones my son left out in our garage; excuse me while I go check them.
Time goes by as I check...
I just checked. Heck, the Heinekens he has out there are not even frozen one bit, not even slushy, and the Fosters Premium Ale can is in perfect condition (it looked so good I almost popped it open for me). I don't get it, my garage is not heated nor is it insulated. I would have thought it much colder in the garage right now than in my freezer, and especially so last night when temps were in the minus numbers. Beers freeze in my freezer in almost no time (or so it seems time wise when I forget them in there for a half hour or so). Strange how they did not freeze out in the garage in this we'd better call it Climate Change, uber anti-leftist, Global Warming cold snap we are having.
Oh well, not complaining about that, it's a good thing. Maybe I'll have one later.

Potential Democrats Not Exactly Flocking To Register For The Party...
...but that won't stop Democrats already in the party from registering them.
Hat tip to Lisa F who had that on her FB page.
Note: This post, showing that photo, is in no way meant to demean the woman pictured or to imply that she is actually registering dead folks to vote or that she is a democrat. It's just one hell of a poignantly funny meme that I found on Facebook.

It Was 1 Degree Fahrenheit When I Crawled Out Of Bed This Morning...
...and I am guessing it was much colder at about 0300 when I let the dogs out. Tomorrow, it is supposed to be 38 degrees or 38 times warmer than that. This coming Saturday it is supposed to hit 53 degrees or be 53 times warmer than it was early today. Oh my gawd, it's climate change taking place all within one week! Al Gore must be visiting the east coast - we are doomed.
Staythirsty warm my friends,
