At the shop I work at, we wear 2-Way Radios and use ear pieces. This made apparent a problem was aware of, but didn’t know just how much of a problem.
If I put the earpiece in my right ear, I can turn up the volume and it’s just fine. If I put my earpiece in my left ear, I can’t hear anything unless it comes over the radio. I am dang near completely deaf in my right ear. I knew I had some hearing loss in it… but it’s a lot worse than I ever realized.
If I had to attribute this to any one thing… it’s 5.56mm NATO and me not wearing good earpro while shooting it.
This has caused me a lot of grief that last couple of years. Misunderstandings and such… Angry wife who was talking and I didn’t know… things like that.
Guys, you don’t want this.
Please… If you don’t keep a set of Earpro in your Range Bag, put a couple sets in there. Good Muffs and some plugs. If you are shooting with a young one, let them use the muffs and protect their hearing. Get some Earpro, mark them as yours, and throw that in with your gear and never shoot without it. Same with Eyepro. It’s not worth what you’ll lose if you don’t.

The Armed Nation: Episode 2
Iowa Caucus.
I have a big problem with the Republican Caucuses. A lot of people who showed up had no Party Affiliation, or affiliations with parties other than the GOP. If this is a GOP Party Caucus – the only people voting should be members of the GOP, and I’d even go so far as to say Dues Paid, Card Carrying Members.
Letting these Primaries be open like they are – Non-Republicans are picking the Republican Candidates. And no one in the GOP has a problem with this? This is why we had McStain last time!
Working on The Armed Nation: E2.
Working on the second episode of The Armed Nation. Doing a little format change and doing a little Show and Tell for this one.
Anyone have any topics you want us to cover?
The USA Gave Chavez Cancer
Oh Crap. Hugo Chavez guessed it. The USA gave him cancer and he found out about it. By carefully dosing his Frosted Crazy Flakes every morning, we were able to give him cancer after this 20 year process. We finally got Kim Jong Il, and now we’re getting him too! (Insert Evil Laughter Here)
Because it couldn’t have been all the cigars and red meat that the fat bastard has been sucking down all his life… it’s America out to get him. My hell, I can’t wait until that twat kicks the bucket. His constantly blaming the USA for everything… Come on. Doesn’t he have any appreciation for the CIA putting all those hundreds of thousands of Agents in his country to haunt his every move? No appreciation at all!
Note to all the Agents down there. Let’s get his Little Dog too…
Books by my Brothers.
The next couple posts below this one, are books that you should buy and read. They are written by my friends and brothers.
First one, is by my younger brother, Zack. This one is called Shattered Lands, and it’s a work of Fantasy unlike anything you’ve read before. Zack’s books unexpected and unique. They are great reads. Get them for your Kindle Reader!
Dead Six by Larry Correia and Mike Kupari
Here’s another awesome book… I’m reading through this one again, because it’s too good not too. I got a copy in paperback for Christmas. First time I read it was was on my laptop, rough draft. It was great then. It’s better now, actually holding your friend’s book in your hands.
If you haven’t read it, your wrong.
Kindle: Put this is in it.
Too Wylde by my good friend Marcus Wynne. Put it in your Kindle Reader. Along with all the other books Marcus has written. He writes some seriously hard core gritty stuff… I love it. Nasty bad guys, flawed heroes, harsh and drastic violence. Good stuff!
Things I hate
I hate skinny pasty white guys that dress like and act like Hip Hop stars. I hate guys that leave the stickers on their flat billed caps. I hate guys that start every sentence with “Yo, check dis.”
You are not black. Even if you were, you live in Rural Utah. Give it up, because you look like a jackass.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
I hope everyone embraces their families and shares the love that the holiday is all about.
