I Want To Be In Venezuela - Everything Free In Venezuela

Err, just wait a minute - wasn't that supposed to say "I want to be in America"! Seems it's not the same tune any more.

I Wasn't Necessarily Job Hunting...

...but when I received an email with a job, for which I am well qualified, that pays $42.00 and hour - I put in for it pronto. A year or two at that salary full time and I could save enough to never have to work again (as in there would be enough to buy a house in a low tax and free state and to keep the current one in NY for the frau).

Then, when I submitted that application, I came upon a list of other open jobs, one of which was as a firearms instructor position at a not too distant location. (I will not name the company but it would be great to work there.) Of course, I put in for that too.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good Shoot - No Need For PC Use of TASER...

...but the officers did what they were trained to do and one of them fired a TASER (Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle) at an armed subject who was drawing a deadly weapon. Many shots were fired after that. The dirtbag got off some shots or so it seems to me but thankfully the officers  got off ones that hit their mark. All the officers seemed okay even though to me it sounded as if the one in the background yelled out "I'm hit". Don't know when this happened nor where and would love to have additional info but do not.

Dirtbag Robs Convenience Store and Leaves BUT...

...then in a move right out of a Bizarro World playbook, for a reason as yet unknown, the robber allegedly came back to shoot and kill the store owner. Then the piece of shit suspected robber ultimately turned himself in to police. In an ironic twist of fate, the store owner - Ayub Ali - was the father of four teens, two of whom attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fl  but who had not been shot during the rampage that took place there some months ago. More at the source.

My condolences to the Ali family.


For the rest of you - wake up and realize that senseless killings like this - where the victim cooperated with the robber and gave him the money he was seeking but the robber killed him anyway - are why I believe you should arm yourself for self-defense. It would have been better for Mr. Ali to have gunned down the armed robber and to later have been called a racist (as almost undoubtedly would have been the case) or faced criminal charges had he defended himself and killed his attacker than to have died while trying to appease him - don't you think! I also think it would be better if the death penalty for the perpetrators of such crimes was mandatory.

Screw Academy Sports

Academy Sports reportedly fired an employee, manager Dean Crouch, from their Tallahassee, FL store after he tackled a man who was allegedly attempting to flee the store with a pistol and ammunition he had just stolen. More at the source.

I shop at Academy Sports when I come across them in my travels. Most recently, I made a few trips to the one in Benton, AR when I was visiting Brendan. I spent quite a bit of cash there then. That is not going to happen again anytime soon unless Academy sports relents on their firing of Mr. Crouch.

I just got done contacting them via their onsite email system to tell them I will no longer shop there until they reinstate Mr. Crouch whom I think should have been applauded and given a raise. Screw Academy Sports and their gutless, spineless and immoral policy that says employees will be fired for taking such actions. In my mind, Mr. Crouch is a hero and may have well wound up preventing the thief from later harming someone as he had boasted he would do.

I Doubt Any Among Us Could Have Said It Better (cut & paste address)

The man who wrote the opinion piece at:

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/07/16/im-running-for-senate-as-republican-my-democrat-parents-are-so-furious-theyre-backing-my-opponent.html

... said it eloquently, sensibly and factually. Tolerance is the go-to word of the left yet true tolerance seems far from what I have seen exhibited by most leftists, so much so as to make it appear as if that ideal is completely incomprehensible and alien to most of them. This man's parents seemingly being but one such example of leftists who use tolerance only in as much as it is part of the word intolerance and that being something by which they apparently live. 

Link did not work so I cut and pasted entire article address, hope it works.

All the best,

Build The Frigging Wall Already - Don't Delay



The invasion of the United States of America by illegal aliens, drug smugglers, child sex slave traffickers, terrorists, violent criminals must stop and must stop now. What are we waiting for - maybe a full scale invasion force from China or Russia to cross our borders before we wake up!

Shooting Skill = Not Bad At All

 
 
The boy (actually well into manhood but still "my boy") sent me a picture of one of his latest targets. He said it was either 3 or 5 yards with him shooting his Glock 43 as fast as he could pull the trigger. Note that is not a full sized silhouette target - it is only 12"x16". 

Looks like he paid attention somewhat when being taught how to shoot - wouldn't you say!  Could it do with a tiny bit of improvement - sure it could but it is not bad at all as I see it. (As for that one above the head, do not know if that was a hole from a round or a mark on the target.)

He told me he has been going to the range once a week lately and shooting 100 rounds through his two 9mm pistols. I like it - practice is good when doing it right. I suggested he ought to shoot at least 300 rounds per range trip and maybe only go every other week. Yet, he prefers going more often and shooting less ammo because he cannot afford much more of the ammo. So, what was a responsible loving pop to do but order him a case of 9mm to help him along.

I ordered him a case of Sellier & Bellot, 115 grain, FMJ ammo from TargetSportsUSA.com. I have shot it before and like it, one of the better things about it, as far as I am concerned, is that it runs hotter than most other practice ammo. TargetSportsUSA has a great price when you consider it includes shipping for a case. Now if he shoots the 300 rounds per range trip as I recommended, he will have 100 rounds left over after three trips. Damn, this could get expensive.

Beer and the Wheel - A Historical Essay

I've probably posted this here before or you likely have seen it elsewhere but it is always good to remind people of our history lest they forget and it is also good to tell our youngsters so they learn the important things about life. In keeping with my desire to further the education of one and all, here is today’s history lesson, with a little humor to liven it up. 

 BEER AND THE WHEEL

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. Beer required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.  That's how villages were formed. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: Liberals and Conservatives. 

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were less skilled at hunting (called 'vegetarians' which was an early human word meaning 'bad hunter') learned to live off the Conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing.  This was the beginning of the liberal movement. 

Some of these liberal men “evolved” into women.  Others became known as girlie-men.  Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided. Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant.  Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.  

Modern Liberals like special flavored beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine spritzers or imported bottled water.  They eat raw fish but like their beef well done.  Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.  Another interesting evolutionary side note: many liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat. 

Conservatives drink real beer.  They eat red meat and still provide for their women.  Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively.  Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living. 

Liberals produce little or nothing.  They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production.  Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans.  That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America.  They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. 
 
Here ends today's lesson in world history.  It should be noted that a liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this post. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be shared immediately to other true believers and to just piss-off more liberals.
 
And there you have it.  Let your next action reveal your true self. I'm going to grab a few beers and grill some steaks, right after post this.
 
All the best,
Glenn B

It Pays To Be Alert and Agile

 
 
I kind of doubt this was anything but a movie set with a nice stunt being filmed; I mean who in their right might makes a video of guys loading or offloading water bottles from a truck! Still though, it makes the point - stay alert and stay agile.

Working All Week & Next

Kind o sucks to be working every day for the next two weeks. Well, maybe it is not as much work or having to do it to get some extra needed cash but the fact that I'll be driving about 35 miles each way, there and back home, each day. I must admit, it is a good office to work in while at least three of the six I at which I work, on call, suck bigtime. l float around from office to office covering for guys and gals out on leave or fill the spot temporarily when someone quits. It's okay, pay is decent for the NY metro area for what I do but I sure wish I had something in one spot closer to home for like three or four set days per week. Days like today make me wish I was closer to home. I had to leave work early today to ship out a shotgun I had sold on GunBroker.com. I hate driving 35 miles there and 35 miles back and not getting in a full day but I had to get this done by tomorrow at the latest so picked today to make sure it got shipped.

Whatever - my main point is that last week I worked Monday & Tuesday, then I was away upstate for 4 days and now will be working the remainder of the this and next week - thus light blogging and such. Later 4 U.

All the best,
GB
