Bears in the woods.

BYU conducted a recent and poorly conducted study of firearms used in bear attacks.  Just having a gun isn’t enough.  A.  You have to have a gun and ammunition capable of stopping a bear.  B. You have to know how to use it.  That requires training.
The news report in the Trib makes mention that people don’t practice in a realistic manner… That part is very true.  Just punching paper isn’t training. 
The key in a sudden bear attack scenario is an accurate first round hit made fast.  Very fast.  You have one shot and no time to take it.  Thus is the 21 foot rule to the extreme. 
Practice with your bear gun from slung on the shoulder, snapping the gun off and breaking that shot accurately.  The time to strive for is about 1.5 seconds.
Good luck with that.

Rush

Rush called a spade a spade.  He was absolutely correct… perhaps a bit rude about it at worst but correct nonetheless.  Why should others pay for her sex?  I find the woman to be disgusting.
As far as health insurance goes, most don’t offer dental… Can we get dental first before
Rush hit the nail in the head.

Because of this, some Advertisers dropped Rush.   Such as Carbonite.  Few things these days make me laugh out loud.  This did.  Oops!  Oh man… my sides are aching and I have hiccups at this moment.

 

The National Firearms Act

We need to toss out the NFA. It’s rubbish and completely useless.
Smoothbore handguns are illegal… But the Taurus Judge is okay.
Shotguns shorter than 18 inches are the spawn of Lucifer, but a 16″ .45-70 is perfectly fine.
Calibers larger than .50 are bad… But you get exceptions left and right.
Full auto is a no-no, but Slide Fire stocks are good to go.
None of this makes any sense.  It’s just stupid… Like all national gun laws.
I can’t sell a .22 pistol to someone from across a line on a map, even if they live in the same valley… State line… But I can sell them all the AR-15, .300 Ultra Mags, or tactical shotguns that they could ever want.
The laws don’t make any sense… But we have to follow them.  Laws written by the most ignorant if people about things they know nothing about… But they are still laws.  The Shoulder Thing That Goes Up.
We need to remove the NFA and all National Gun Laws.

Permits

Congratulations to Maryland.  A Federal Judge has deemed their unfair and restrictive permitting system to be unconstitutional.  We’very yet to see what actual changes this will bring to that state… But its positive… A step in the right direction.
Congratulations to my Brother for finally getting his permit paperwork done… He too will soon have his permit.
Another step in the right direction. 
But where is this direction heading?  What is the goal?
How about living in a free country where we don’t need a permit to exercise a constitutional right?  It’s a right, not a privilege… We don’t have Church Permits… Speech Permits… A pass from Quartering troops.  But the one right that specifically says Shall Not Be Infringed, so boldly… is chained around the neck with Permits.
We don’t require permits to buy beer… Permits to engage in vice… To have babies… But to carry with you the means if self defense we’ve allowed our states to infringe upon us.
I call upon every State Representative in Utah, and every other State, to drop all permits and recognize the Second Amendment at face value… Adopt Constitution Carry and recognize that right for citizens of other States.

Bad news, Volt fans.

GM has killed production of the Chevy Volt.  The car that is completely useless, slow, underpowered, handles like an iceberg, and has the range of a Punt.

And GM blames the Media.  Uh huh.

Here’s the thing… It’s actually not a bad looking little car.  Much better looking that a Prius.  I bet the Volt would actually sell and do fairly well if they made a version of the Volt that was powered by a simple little eco-friendly 4 cylinder gas or diesel engine.

 

Protection.

We talk about packing guns for many reasons… one of them is protection.  But have you really thought about it, taking in the ramifications?  You use a weapon to save your life… there was a man with a large knife, coming at you.  You moved behind the hood of a car and use your handgun to drop that threat.  You are alive and the goblin is on the ground dead and twitching.  You did it… it happened.  Now you hear the sirens coming.  Here comes the police.  What happens next?

Depending on what you say and do and where you are at… you could have saved your life only to end up living in a prison cell for the rest of your life.

You need more protection than just a good handgun loaded with good ammo.  You need a Legal Weapon and Legal Ammunition.    Brothers and Sisters, that Legal Weapon is the USCCA’s Shield program.   You get this simply by joining the USCCA.  Along with that, you get Concealed Carry Magazine… one of the best “Gun Rags” out there.  One you can read start to finish, cover to cover… filled with good information and not just a collection of advertisements like some Rags.  There are no ads in it anymore.  It’s worth reading, every month.  But most importantly is that Shield program.  Read through that link… Legal Defense that’s worth joining the USCCA for alone.  I have it, and it really gives me peace of mind.

Also, The Gun Dudes is hosting another MAG-40 course.  Mas is one of the Nations best instructors.  He is the source that a lot of instructors get their information from.  But no one teaches the “What Happens Next” like Mas.  He’s the best there is, because he has literally written the book on it… several books actually. Okay, a whole library.  Here’s why you want to takes this.  Once you graduate Massad Ayoob’s MAG-40 class, Mas will come to your defense and testify as an expert witness for you, on your behalf – at no cost to you.  This is like an additional insurance policy… this is the ammo in your Legal Weapon.  This will keep your ass out of The Cooler.   And the stuff Mas teaches you can also help you save your life as he does teach an impressive shooting course.

Do this.  Go to the Gun Dudes and take that class with Mas.  Join the USCCA and get that SHIELD.  This will give you a very high degree of Protection…. Legal Reactive Armor for your Life and Lifestyle.

Ordered a .40 Magnum today.

I wanted a gun with more power and longer reach.  So I ordered a Glock 20SF today.  That’s a 10mm, Sports Fans.
Should be here Friday or Monday.  Some have said all pistols suck.  10mm… sucks a lot less.

The Glock 20SF was my pick because I just don’t dig the Gen 4’s and the SF is a lot like the Gen 4 with no backstrap attached.  The only one I could find with any of the distributors were only coming with the 10 round mags, so I ordered some 15 rounders.

I’ll need a holster for it.  I need to pick out some good sights.  And I need to get it to Joe at Crusader HQ for the Full Tilt Crusader Conversion.

This is all because of Nightcrawler.
