I am willing to bet my life savings, that if I actually wrote a piece about how it is currently the era of the white man, and in that piece called African Americans Negroes, I would be branded as a racist by a great many people. Yet, it is apparently quite fine for a black man to write a piece called: It Is The Era Of The Black Woman 100 Amazing Facts About the Negro: When did the golden age of black female achievement begin? and to call African Americans Negroes in his piece. Then again, it is apparently okay for African Americans to call each other "my nigga" and "nigger" but not okay for me because I am Western European American, aka: Caucasian or white. Yet, I have heard it said hundreds, if not thousands, of times by one black person addressing another black person all with no racial insult ever being taken. Yet, it is racism and nothing more, nor less, to restrict the appropriateness of using those terms to one racial group and to lambaste another as racists if they too use it. Then again, the whole idea of glorifying the achievements of any person, based on their race, is racist. Thus I find the article linked to above as abhorrently racist.

Brr - What A Difference a Day Makes
No, I should say, what a difference a few hours make. Yesterday, it had to have been in the mid to high 50's where I live. Then late in the afternoon the temperature dropped and by about 7PM it was feeling really cold. The wind was blowing and that helped it to feel even colder. Then, I am guessing it was around 7 - 8 PM, the snow started to fall or should I say started to blow, it was really windy. Just got a bit though.
Today, it is as cold as a witch's breasticle! I just checked three different online weather services - one said it is currently 30 degrees here, the second said 30 degrees and the third said 29.2. What a drop over the course of a day and I am pretty certain it was colder last night (or in the dark and wee hours of the morning today). According to a check I just did for "yesterday's weather", the high here was 54 degrees and the low was 30. I know, realative to other places, even place to which I have traveled in winter, 29 degrees is not all that cold but it is still cold for this area in November. I think the coldest place I have ever visited wasPokeafellow Pocatello, Idaho. As I remember, it got down into the minus twenties when I was there for a FAM detail covering the Winter Olympics in 2002.
I was just out trying to rake up and bag about a ton or two of leaves (aggrandized by my imagination to be sure) in my tiny backyard and along the side of my house. I got only 4 small bags filled (30 gallon sized, I think) and had to take a break because my finger tips felt like they were about to frost over (no exaggeration). The leaves are dry and the wind kept gusting, so it is not the best day to do yard cleanup but - she who must be obeyed (at least now and again) had given me my work orders. Luckily for me, my son did around the front of the house. Guess I owe him a beer for that or some ammo or both.
Perhaps, I should get back to work before she who must be obeyed gets upset. I am hoping that the 4 piles of leaves, I had ready to bag up, have not blown all over the place. It seemed the gusts were much less strong out back of the house than along side it where it was like being in a wind tunnel between my neighbor's garage and our house, so Left those out back. I guess I'll know in a moment or two.

Men - If You Don't Use Dental Floss - You May Start Real Soon
Guys, if you don't already use dental floss, it may be time to break it out and start using it. That is enough said, just read this and figure it out for yourselves:
http://www.ivillage.com/pubic-hair-trends-70s-in-style/5-a-553694?obref=obnetwork
Reminds me of a Frank Zapa tune, something to the effect of:
I'm moving to Montana soon,
I'm gonna be a dental floss tycoon...
Who knows, maybe I should move to Montana and take up that line of work, I could make a fortune if that feminine fashion fad catches on (or should that be 'catches in' as in your teeth)!
All the best,

Folks Camping Outside of Best Buy A Week Ahead of Black Friday?
I was just over at Wirecutter's blog and read this: To save a buck. Stupid fuckers. It is a post about idiots who are already camping outside of Best Buy stores, a week early, awaiting Black Friday sales.
Are they fucking nuts (see this). There is nothing thatWorst Best Buy could offer me to cause me to wait on a long line, let alone camp out on line, to shop there - NOTHING! How the fuck anyone could wait on a line, let alone camp out on a line, to get into Best Buy is beyond me. That has got to be one of the worst stores in which I have ever shopped and I try to avoid it like the plague. About the only way I would shop there is if they were they last place in my area to have something I really needed. But to camp out on line for several days, just to get a few bucks off, that I probably could have gotten elsewhere at a place with much better customer service and return policies, no way. Any way, they can't be saving that much money on anything to make it worthwhile.
I have waited on lines too. Several hours for Rolling Stones tickets at Madison Square Garden and I was sixth on the line. Yet, I only got seats in about the third or fourth row. Guy right in front of me must have bought most of the seats in first and second rows. Another time, I waited in a long line for tickets to see Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden. The line was so unruly that several people, just a few feet in front of me, got pushed through a set of heavy plate glass doors and were badly cut up because the throng just kept shoving forward and there was no place to go except through the glass of those locked doors. I waited many hours (most of a day) to get the tickets for that show and got really good seats. Then, for the same Led Zeppelin tour, I also waited most of two days, in the friggin' cold of February, on a loading ramp of Nassau Coliseum. I got great seats for that,10th row. Then, a couple of days before the concert, I went fishing with a buddy, on a jetty at Rockaway (yes we were snockered) and while we were on the jetty with waves crashing into us, I collapsed in agony. As I lay on the rocks, another wave hit me and my buddy actually caught me as I was about to go over the side of the jetty and into the drink. My buddy thought my hitting the rocks had broken a few of my ribs but it wound up being appendicitis - great timing. They yanked it out of me the next day, only a day or two before the show when they kept you in hospital for most of a week for that operation. Luckily, at least, I heard it from my hospital bed; one of the NYC radio stations broadcast it live.
After that, I have rarely waited on long, long, long lines - I figure if I do then something else might go ass up inside of me. FUCK LONG LINES.
Hat tip to Wirecutter for giving me inspiration to steal his idea and write this post.

Ammo Alert - Winchester Super-X 12 Gauge 00 Buckshot
As I post this, Cabelas (a company with which I am none to enamored) has an excellent deal (considering current market conditions) for Winchester, Super-X, 12 gauge, 9 pellet, 00 buckshot, 15 round boxes @ $10.99 each. If your order amounts to more than $99, and you use promotion code 3Gifts, shipping is free. See the page at this link.
If you work it out, that comes to about $3.66 per box of five rounds. That is the best price I have seen on high quality American made 12 gauge, 00 buckshot, in a long time.

I Am Not Much of a Conspiracy Theorist, BUT...
...maybe there is something to at least some of these conspiracy theories after all. Nope, I am not talking about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. What I am talking about is not quite as evil as that but certainly may go a long way to explain something that has been happening in my life over the past several years during the fall season. As you probably are aware, if you read this blog at all, I like to go hunting when I can, especially for whitetail deer. That regardless of the fact that for about the last 7 or so years, the deer where I hunt just laughed whenever they realized it was me in the forest. Yes, that means I have not bagged one in too long a time.
I have oft times wondered, relative to me not bagging one each season, things like:
Is it that there are not that many deer where I hunt? Nah, it can't be, there is too much sign of them.
Perhaps that I did not have a doe permit and the antler size restrictions have affected my ability to bag one but alas I have not seen that many bucks to begin with.
Or could it be that I am doing something wrong and giving away myself, as I hunt, by scent or some other indicator. Well, I try to be pretty quiet in the woods, cover my scent by washing with scentless and odor masking soap, use laundry detergent specifically made for hunters, spray scent eliminator on my boots, and pretty much get rid of my man stink. I also wear blaze camo clothing. I do wind up walking up on deer, or see them from my stand, almost every season. This year was no exception, I saw 5 deer while afield, but they were all does and this year I spooked a couple of them even though, as far as I was aware, I was pretty much scentless, was being quiet and moving slowly (only a few steps at a time and pausing for several seconds before moving again) and had taken all the usual precautions.
I just could not figure my long deer-less streak. That is, until this evening. A few minutes ago, I spotted evidence that there is at least one member of my household that may have been sabotaging my efforts to bag a deer by leaving a scent behind that deer avoid. This family member may be acting alone or in concert with other family members but my bet would be that others are in on it. I say that because the one I caught in the act is the latest addition to the family and must have learned how to sabotage my hunting trip from somebody else before actually doing it too. Then again, for all I know, my family member maybe somehow was in contact directly with the deer and was instructed on what to do by them; those deer are wily critters. What was done was to add a scent to my hunting clothes after I just washed them in a scent free and odor blocking hunter's detergent. I would not even think of spraying down my hunting jacket before my next hunt because I would expect it to still be scent free but man oh man would I have been wrong on that one.
The fact that I was being sabotaged is plainly evident, see for yourselves:
The evidence could not be much clearer than that - caught in the act of leaving a scent that deer dread maybe even more that man stink. It was the evil - dog stink! The culprit is Abby, our long haired (and fat) Chihuahua who is atop my hunting clothes inside the plastic bin in which I store my gear. I had just put it in there and was about to get the rest of it to put in too, when I was distracted for a few minutes. When I turned back around, there she was looking fat, happy and very comfortable. That was until I asked what she was doing on my hunting clothing, at which point she put on that 'Who me?' puppy face. I just know that one of the other dogs, or maybe a deer, somehow told her what to do.

We Need More People Who Think Like Him In The Republican Party
Take the few minutes needed to watch this video by Senator Elbert Guillory (R-LA). It will be worth your while.
Wow, I thought that Republicans had long forgotten about those ideals. If Senator Guillory's record in politics matches his words in this video, I would vote for him for president in a NY minute. A hat tip and my thanks to Peter Q for sharing that with me.

What Glaring Error Was Made By Fox News Relative To Obamacare
Here is a link to an online article by Fox News about a woman who got screwed out of a tax credit that would have helped her afford Obummercare. Read it and weep for her. Read it and complain about her getting screwed. Read it an be upset because health care is none of the government's business. Read it and wish that Obummercare would have been a figment of a bad dream you had last night. Then tell me, what did Fox news do that was totally screwed up!
Have you figured it out yet? Read the article before you read more here. You will have to scroll over the blank area below, while holding down your left mouse key (or right one if you have your mouse set up for lefties). And no, it is not that the Fox News article says that what she was going to have to pay was lower than what she had been paying - when in fact she had not been paying for a health insurance plan before this for 15 years (but yes that shows how stupid was the reporter and editor who let that slip into the piece).
Here it is, start scrolling over the black box below while holding down the mouse key:

The Fox news article said that calls to the health insurance company Premera were not immediately returned. Why the fuck did they call Premera? Why didn't they telephone Obama, and Biden, and Pelosi, and Reid with their questions about why she was getting screwed? Better yet, why didn't they just call them all inept assholes and be done with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deer - 3, Me - 0
Once again, I have returned from a deer hunting trip with no meat for the pot! Spent three days hunting - the deer won all three days and I scored nothing. I saw a total of 5 does while afield on my hunting trip and am almost certain that I heard a buck sneaking away from me. First off, I spotted three does the day before the season opened. I could have had a clean shot at two I saw together in the woods. They were probably 75 yards away and broadside to me. I also saw another doe, under an apple tree, on somebody's lawn (right next to the state forest). That one I waved to and talked to, it was only about 15 yards away from me at most and it just stood there, broadside, taunting me mercilessly. Somehow, I got the notion that it knew I could not legally shoot it. I thought I heard it snicker with glee as I walked away - but nah that could not be - could it! I also saw three does, under apple trees on the farm that used to belong to my uncle, but that was from my car so they don't count in what I saw while afield. The first three I mentioned were all when I was afoot in the field.
Then yesterday, day three of the season, I saw another two does but had spooked them. They were about 30-35 yards out and headed toward me. I had been still hunting, and was about to stop and take a rest when I took that one more step, cracked a branch under the leaf litter and saw them bolt. I tried to call them back and as I did, I heard another deer creeping away from the same spot in which they had been. No raised tail, no bolting away through the brush, just a branch cracking and a swooshing noise in the undergrowth, several times, going in the opposite direction than the one the does had taken. That had 'smart old buck' written all over it. Certainly smarter than me; I gave them all awhile and then tried to call them in, all to no avail. Also tried circling wide around to spot them again but that did not work either. Oh well, still a few weeks left in the season.

I WALK THE STRAIGHT SIDE WITH HETERO PRIDE
I am so sick of hearing about gay pride, lesbian pride, transgender pride and bi-pride and the implication that if we do not accept gayness we should be shamed. They want to make noise about it - okay, I too am making noise about my sexual preference (and yes it is a preference as I see it). I am full of pride for walking the straight side. Now tell me, is pride only okay if you are anything other than heterosexual, I don't think so! Proud and loud here - hetero and always will be so.

Gone Hunting - Light or No Blogging...
...and definitely no deer, at least not today. First day out, had a nice spot, a couple of apple trees, lots of heavily used deer trails into and out of it, lots of deer sign, a few rubs, a scrape nearby nothing early on but I sort of figured this as a late afternoon deer stop. We stayed there until about 1:30 and my son asked if we could leave since his tendinitis was acting up and he was in a lot of pain. That sucks big time. Not that he asked me to leave but that a 23, soon to be 24, year old youngster is stuck with a condition like that because his doctor prescribed him Levaquin about 2 years ago. It also sucks because he did not even see a deer. He will either leave tonight or tomorrow morning since he has work tomorrow afternoon and will leave without any venison. I am hoping he will come up with me again for just a day in the next few weeks and maybe we will have luck on our side for a change and he will bag one.
Me, I should be here another day or two. Will try another area tomorrow, with which I am none too familiar but where I have an antlerless deer permit.

The Car Is All But Packed...
...with all the guns, gear and clothes I am taking on my hunting trip. With a little luck, I will hit the hay within half an hour to an hour and then be able to get my arse out of bed at about 0400. I plan to be in the car and on the move by about 0445. It's about a 3 hour drive to my hotel but only 2.5 to the hunting area which I will stop at for a final scouting trip before I hit the hotel. I am in no hurry, so my drive may wind up taking longer but so what - it's a mini vacation. Deer hunting season opens on Saturday and that is the day I have to make sure I am at my hunting site early, maybe by 0400. Before then, it is all just having fun doing this and that.
My son will be driving up, to meet me, either tomorrow night or Friday morning. He only got off Friday and Saturday, so on Friday I can show him the spot and maybe we can bag a turkey. We will have a good time together. Then on Saturday we will be a team and hopefully not one at which the deer wind up laughing out of the woods.

Knockout - A Reminder To Always Be Alert
Young New Jersey urban criminals reportedly have been "playing a game" called knockout in which they randomly attack a victim to see if one of them can knockout the person with a single blow or flurry of blows. Amazingly, the reporter says they are playing a game, to me it certainly appears more as if they are committing a violent felony. They may think that a game but I certainly do not and I am sure that their victims do not.
The prospect of being attacked like this is scary and should evoke enough fear in you to not walk the streets alone. If you need to be out alone, I think you need to consider only going out while armed, in some legal manner, for self protection. That is easier said than done in NJ, so maybe some folks should just refuse to walk the streets alone, especially since these cowards are targeting lone victims. It should also make people scared enough to realize they should always remain aware of their surroundings and of the potential for threats. Even if you are armed and see a group of teenagers come your way, maybe you should consider avoiding them.
I can say that if anyone attacked me like those attacks seen in the video, and if I was not knocked out, I quite possibly would respond with deadly force if I believed I was still under threat. Anyone attempting to knock me out in one shot or a combination of blows and kicks would obviously be using enough force to seriously harm or kill me. (I refer to the videos showing the people hitting the concrete hard). Closed fist punches to the head and neck were considered to be deadly force, in our use of force policy, when I was a federal agent. In my opinion, I justifiably would be in fear for my life and limb if under attack like that. Think about that, study up on justifiable use of force in your state and locality, and be prepared. Do not let your guard down, and remember it is best to avoid such a situation but if you wind up in it, I think, you should be ready to fight for your life.

Glenn B

That is easier said than done in NJ, so maybe some folks should just refuse to walk the streets alone, especially since these cowards are targeting lone victims. It should also make people scared enough to realize they should always remain aware of their surroundings and of the potential for threats. Even if you are armed and see a group of teenagers come your way, maybe you should consider avoiding them.
I can say that if anyone attacked me like those attacks seen in the video, and if I was not knocked out, I quite possibly would respond with deadly force if I believed I was still under threat. Anyone attempting to knock me out in one shot or a combination of blows and kicks would obviously be using enough force to seriously harm or kill me. (I refer to the videos showing the people hitting the concrete hard). Closed fist punches to the head and neck were considered to be deadly force, in our use of force policy, when I was a federal agent. In my opinion, I justifiably would be in fear for my life and limb if under attack like that. Think about that, study up on justifiable use of force in your state and locality, and be prepared. Do not let your guard down, and remember it is best to avoid such a situation but if you wind up in it, I think, you should be ready to fight for your life.

Battling Bucks - Antlers Locked - One Drowns...
...and the other struggles to free itself but to no avail until a father and son team arrive to give some help. Here is a link to a feel good video but I would have felt better if I had been out in the woods and blasted the one that made it (legally of course). What can I say, hunting season is opening in a few days, here in NY, and I am raring to go! Since I can use all the help I can get, a tuckered out buck would be okay with me.

A Military Drone Flying Over NY Crashed...
...into Lake Ontario. While it has been reported that another of the same model drone, a MQ-9 Reaper, had crashed due to technical and pilot error before, military brass is promising an investigation to discover the cause of this crash. (source)
With various hunting seasons open in that neck of the woods, including big game season for deer, one has to wonder if a bored hunter decided to take aim at it and give it a blast as it buzzed overhead. Probably would make me burst out laughing my arse off if it winds up that was the case. Then again, maybe it was an intrepid III Percenter practicing for a revolution or it could have even been a terrorist hoping for Jihad here in the US of A. Of course, there are lots of guns out in the woods for the hunting season so, if it winds up that it was shot down, my bet would be on the bored hunter.
Any way, it wasn't me, I am not going upstate on my hunting trip until Thursday.

Deer Hunting Season Is Almost Upon Us...
...here in NY State but all I can seem to think about is girls with huge racks. I don't know if it is hormones, or the man-beast within me, or just that I am some kind of under sexed guy in need of good lovin' or whatever but every darned time that I think of going out in the woods to bag a buck all I can think about is this girl with the really huge rack. Man is she ever so endowed...
CLICK HERE TO SEE HER RACK
...and she seems to know it too, endowed with good hunting skills that is, what else could I have meant.

5.56x45mm XM855 Ammo Alert
SG Ammo is offering 1000 rd case - 5.56 PMC X-TAC M855 62 grain Green Tip FMJ 5.56K LAP Ammo at $389.50 plus shipping. That is the best price I have seen on XM855 ammo in awhile, too long awhile. No, it is not pre-frenzy pricing but it really is one of the best prices, if not the best price, on XM855 that I have seen probably in over a year. Get it while they still have it; earlier today they had about 240 cases of it in stock, as I write this they are down to 137 cases (they sold 4 cases since I started writing this post). Then again, they also offer it in 20 round boxes for $7.89 per box (which would work out the same price as a case if you bought 50 boxes) and they have 1,174 of them in stock.
All the best,

The Last of My Online Ammo Purchases?
I shot my wad today, I think I spent my last dollar on an online ammo purchase
with the purchase of a case of PMC 5.56x45mm XM855. Not the last dollar I have in the world, just the last one I ever will
spend on an online ammo purchase. My online ammo purchase costs worked out to
just over 4.5K over the past year, much more than all my other ammo purchases
combined. Note that I purchased from those below based mostly on price and
availability but all three had excellent customer service.
SG Ammo $1,034.28
Sportsmansguide $852.93
MidwayUSA $431.00
Dan’s Ammo $190.00 (approximate)
Lucky Gunner $140.00
Cabelas $114.83
Widener’s $73.00
Local Gun Stores (LGS) $50.00 (approximate)
Why spend all that money on ammo in one year especially when I could have gone on a really nice vacation with that money (and even taken the wife with me). Well, first there was the reelection of Obama then there was the passage of the NY SAFE Act just a couple of months later. As for he vacation that I could have enjoyed, I yet may go on that vacation in the upcoming year because the days of my online ammo buying will be coming to an end soon and I'll have that money to burn. Due to the NY SAFE Act, which was the main reason for my ammo buying frenzy, come January 1, 2014 virtually all online purchases by individuals living in NY will cease. The law requires ammunition dealers to do a face to face check of ID and then run a background check on a purchaser of ammunition for very purchase; buy a box of 50 rounds of .22LR and the dealer is required to see your ID and run a background check. Welcome to the precursor of the Nazi state of NY and I mean that most sincerely. I think we are taking the first steps in that direction both in NY State and nationally with tyrants like Cuomo and Obama in office. Whether or not we will wind up there, in the long run, is anyone’s guess but I digress so let me get back on target.
As you can see, my order of preference for ammunition purchases has been to buy online, to buy at guns shows, to buy at large chain stores and lastly at local gun stores (LGS). The reasons I preferred to buy online were availability, price, customer service and because of ease of shopping. I know that a lot of folks in the world of firearms frown on purchasing at other than at LGS, the so called mom and pop style shops. I don’t try to outright discourage people from buying at them as others have tried to discourage some of us from buying online but I certainly would not go out of my way to recommend purchases at any of the local guns shops in my area; at least not the ones with which I have had bad experiences in the past.
Online Purchases:
Palmetto State Armory (PSA) $1,360.59
SG Ammo $1,034.28
Sportsmansguide $852.93
MidwayUSA $431.00
Aim Surplus $391.50
Ammo To Go $193.45
Dan’s Ammo $190.00 (approximate)
Lucky Gunner $140.00
Cabelas $114.83
Widener’s $73.00
Purchases Other
Than Online:
Gun Shows $400.00
(approximate)
Chain Stores (like Dick’s $125.00
(approximate)
Sporting Goods or Walmart)
Local Gun Stores (LGS) $50.00 (approximate)
As you can see, my order of preference for ammunition purchases has been to buy online, to buy at guns shows, to buy at large chain stores and lastly at local gun stores (LGS).

The number one reason for me avoiding purchases at LGS has
been poor service. The local gun shops in my area also are usually very overpriced on
everything to do with gun and ammo sales. Then, even if you can find a shop with excellent customer service and a decent
price on ammo, you almost have to struggle to find a decent
amount of ammo at said shop. Add to that one that is not too far
away to make it not too much of a pain in the ass to drive there to buy ammo. I have not found a
place like that, close to me, yet. I have found some fair to good prices at
chain stores like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods and they are fairly close
to me but forget about reliably good customer service at them – especially at
Walmart, in my opinion.
My priorities will probably have to change after January 1st
and the implementation of the ammo purchase provisions under the NY SAFE Act.
Either I will have to put up with absolutely crappy, smugly, arrogant customer service
at some LGS and pay their overly high prices by the box (as opposed to by the case) or I will have to give up the ease
of buying idea and travel out of state to large ammo dealers to get good deals
on ammunition for by the case purchases from dealers with courteous service. The former would mean that I have to lose most of my self-respect
and buy from scumbags at a high cost and the latter would mean I could drive to
ammo dealers with nicer customer service and better prices but would have to travel considerable
distances and would have to make really big purchases to make it worth the effort. (I guess I could combine an ammo run with a small vacation and that would make it more effective all around.)
Note I did not say I would
continue buying at stores like Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods or Sports
Authority. I left them out because it has been rumored locally that all three
may discontinue ammunition sales, after January 1, 2014, here in NY. If they
keep selling ammo, I will probably start buying most of mine from them. Of
course, if I happen to discover a local firearms and ammunition dealer, who is
courteous and respectful to customers, sells at excellent prices, has what I want available, and is not
too far from my home – I will go that route. Hopefully though, with what I have
on hand, I will not need any more ammo for at least a year, or two, to come.
For now, I think I have spent my last dime on online ammo
purchases. Even if I do decide to buy a few more of this or that (I am in dire
need of 12 gauge slugs and 00 buckshot), in the near future, I do not have long
to complete the purchases. With the NY SAFE Act ammo sale provisions kicking in
on January 1st, it is expected that most online ammo dealers will
cease sales to anyone in NY by mid-December at the latest. That way they will have assured
all shipments of ammo, bought online by New Yorkers, should make it here before the deadline. So, at most, I
have maybe a month and a few days more in which to make an online ammo
purchase. That is, I do and so too do the rest of we New Yorkers under the rule
of Cuomo the Socialist & Liberty Usurping Tyrant. One can only hope the law soon will be declared unconstitutional or that it will be repealed and Cuomo recalled from office - but whom am I kidding, this is NY - land of the leftists.

New Shooter Among Our Ranks
Headed out this morning to meet up with my sister and nephew
at the Long Island Shooting Center in Islip, NY. Met them there about 1020,
went inside and we signed up for a point. I asked how much and handed the
gentleman behind the counter my VISA card to pay and was told cash only. That was a surprise and not a good one since I thought I didn't have that much
cash on me. (I had meant to go to the bank yesterday but my left knee has been
in a lot of pain so stayed home.) I don't know if the folks who own the range
realize it but this is the 21st century and credit cards have been around for a
long time now. It was a surprise they
did not take anything but cash for the range because, when I thought about it, I recalled they don't mention that on
their website. Yet, they do advertise that they accept credit cards for gun
sales in the store section of the same building. I dug out what I had and luckily I had about $42 so it covered the $33
for the range and a few targets.
I gave him a crash
course in range safety. I had also sent him an email, last night, via his mom,
with firearms safety rules and tested him on them. He did well. So, I gave him
his birthday presents (his birthday was in October and the shooting lessons and
range gear were the gifts I gave him) consisting of shooting glasses, asset of
shooting muffs, some targets and a zombie range box that fits the glasses and
muffs with room for more. Then we headed into the range. My sister waited in
the outer at the luncheonette style center.
That was the second time today that I was surprised, this time because he told me that he had had enough. I tried to persuade him to shoot the Marlin, telling him it was a bigger bullet and the rifle was scoped and whatever but I did not push it. We wound up cleaning up our point and getting out of there because he said it was enough for the day. While he told me he had enjoyed it, he did not seem all that enthused, even though he had shot well. I praised him for his good shooting and for having done it all safely. I was happiest that he had done it safely and let him know it. I was wondering what was up, with his kind of blah attitude, until my sister told me he said he wanted to do it again. I guess he was just getting tired but really had enjoyed himself. That sure made me feel good because it meant that another shooter had joined our ranks.
I gave him a few more
pointers and demonstrated to him how to take a shot with the Armscor 14Y, a
bolt action, magazine fed, youth model rifle in .22LR, that I had brought
along. He must think I am on heck of a good shot because luckily it hit dead
center of the bull’s-eye, granted though the target was only at about 10 yards
out. I them loaded up a mag for him, to show him how to do, and he got to
shooting. His first shot was center target horizontally and a bit high
vertically but right in the 6 inch bull’s-eye. It was all pretty good after that,
first shooting at the large bull’s-eye target, then pasting a similarly sized
Shoot N' See target over the center of that, then sticking a woodchuck color
reactive target over that one. I am guessing he shot up about 10 magazines full
of ammo, so about 60 rounds over the course of an hour and fifteen or thirty
minutes when I asked if he wanted to shoot a full sized 22 rifle (meaning my
Marlin 25MN in .22WMR).

Panic Over A Gun Or Gun Case - Let's Do The Sensible Thing And Call In The Bomb Squad
I truly understand the whole thing about armed individuals at airports being a safety concern. Yet, armed people at an airport should not necessarily cause alarm and, in most instances, should certainly not cause a panic. Yet panic all to often accompanies the legal gun owner usually because of gun fearing libturds.
Take for example the arrival of a passenger at LAX (Los Angeles Airport) who reportedly either brandished a firearm or had a gun case in open view. You would think there would be a major difference between the two, that is between brandishing a weapon and merely having a gun case in public view but it seems that quite a few people have not quite figured out that difference yet. It has been reported, here, that a man arriving at LAX was arrested after he did one of the two but the report was unable to clarify which one it was that he actually did.
It seems someone saw the man either take a firearm out of its case and brandish it (wave it around) or merely have a firearms case in his possession. That person called the police. Instead of the police doing what would have been the sensible thing, which would have been to approach the individual and question him and then examine the contents of the firearms case which contained a firearm that the man had legally and properly checked in with the airline in his checked luggage, the police called in the bomb squad to examine the contents of the gun case. Since the contents of the gun case had already been checked, when the man had gone through security screening at his point of departure, and since that would have been documented by the airline and TSA, can someone, anyone, tell me the logic behind calling out the bomb squad due to a report of someone seeing either a gun or gun case! It makes no sense to me but then it does seem that law enforcement has been overreacting to a lot of things lately, this just but one example. Based on what little is disclosed in the article, it makes me wonder if the police reaction, to call in the bomb squad, was a total waste of the taxpayers' dollars and a very disproportionate response to the situation at hand.
Anyway, the man was arrested on suspicion of brandishing a firearm. My guess would be that the man did what I have done, at an airport, after retrieving my checked luggage in which I had a legally checked firearm. That would be that he opened his luggage, took out the firearm case (in the event it was a pistol) and then maybe opened the case to take a peek inside to assure his firearm had not been stolen in transit. If it was a rifle case, then maybe he opened it to do likewise. Would anyone really expect you o just retrieve your luggage, containing a firearm, and leave the airport without checking to see it was still secure, what with the amount of items stolen from luggage by baggage handlers and by TSA personnel! That would not be brandishing a weapon by any stretch of the imagination.
Now, when I do it, I try to wait until everyone else has left the baggage carousel area around me, or I move away to a spot with no one able to look into my case. I do not handle the weapon at all. My guess is that the man in question may have checked on his gun with someone standing nearby who saw it or that someone just saw the gun case and flipped out. Of course, that is merely a guess on my part. As unlikely as it would be, it is possible that the man took the gun out of its case and waved it around (which would be brandishing) while standing in the baggage area but as I said I think that very unlikely. Merely opening a case to check on its status would not be brandishing under any interpretation of any brandishing laws nor would mere possession of a gun inside of a gun case be brandishing the firearm.
I certainly would like to know more of the details of this case and maybe even see the video (you can rest assured that the baggage claim area is under constant video surveillance) of whatever it was that the man did that caused the other person to report him to police. My bet would be that if anyone should have been arrested it should have been the person who called this into the authorities and then maybe even the police official who decided to call in the bomb squad.

Breaking Out Of The Fugue And Reentering Paradise
While I was working, part time, over the past year and few months (up until mid-October) I had to put a lot of things I enjoyed doing on hold. I basically started a new working life and forgot about and abandoned too many of the joys of retired living. For instance, Long Island Firearms, a gun club to which I belong, holds a meet-up at a range pretty close to my home. The range nights are always Wednesdays and I worked most Wednesday nights over the past year. I did not work this Wednesday and was free to attend the meet-up. I have to say, I had a great time there. I got to reacquaint myself with several folks I met at the first range meet I attended and some whom I met while protesting the NY SAFE Act up in Albany. I also got to meet several new faces, at least new to me. I am guessing that about 20 of us showed up. We used two of the ranges, each range has five shooting points, so we had to take turns over the two ours of shooting time that we had available. I brought along my High Standard Duramatic M-101, Smith & Wesson Model 17K and my Remington R1-1911. As usual, when at the range, I had a blast.
Then, today, I went to an outdoor range that is quite a bit further from my home than the one above. I drove about 50 miles to Long Island Shooting Range of Brookhaven. Sadly, I was son my own. I had expected Brendan to tag along, to get in some practice shots before opening day of deer season next weekend, but alas he refused to drag his behind out of the sack even though I waited until about 1230 in the afternoon to finally take off. I am hoping he will at least make it to the indoor range to shoot the Remington 870 and the Marlin 336 before the hunting season kicks off. I shot both of those today and did fair to good. With the 870, I had a 15 shot group the size of my hand from finger tips to heel of palm. Most of the shots were within a about a three inch group. That was at 50 yards from the bench and resting on sandbags. It was not great but certainly not too shabby. With the Marlin 336, I guess my grouping at 50 yards were all within 2.5 to 3". I need some practice with both but shooting like that will get me a deer if I can get the sights of either gun on one of them.
I also tried to bore sight my Marlin XS-7 in .308 but gave up after I realized that about 6 shots I had taken did not even hit the target backer. I am going to pick myself up a laser bore sight and sight it in with that. I would guess it will only three shots at most to have it zeroed in using a bore sight. I am thinking of picking up this one. Hopefully, I can find one locally. Nothing like procrastinating - I must have owned it for a year now without taking it to the range to sight it in until today. There is also nothing like waiting until the last minute to try to get it sighted in because there is no way I could get a laser bore sight shipped to me on time for sighting in before we leave on our hunting trip. Oh well, next year for this rifle and hunting but I again will try to sight it in soon.
Tomorrow, I am may be going to a beer expo at Belmont Park. My son won two tickets but he will be working. Lucky for me, I am retired and don't have a job, otherwise there could have been a good chance I would have had to work tomorrow too. On Sunday, I plan to go to yet another indoor range, this one about half way between my sister's place and my house, to meet up with her and my nephew. His birthday was in October and he wanted to learn how to shoot so shooting lessons and some shooting accessories will be my birthday present for him.
It's amazing what one can go out and have fun doing when not tied down by a job. Retirement is good - every day is another Saturday in Paradise!
