May 3-5 is the NRA Convention in Houston, TX. I’m going to be there. Mark Walters of Armed American Radio is going to be there. We’re going to have some fun and if you read my Blog and Listen to the radio show – We want to meet you.
Some Motivation.
Crank this up and listen. All the way through… Take it to heart.
Just in case you didn’t know
Cosmetic Enhancements are not actual “Upgrades” to your firearm. Milling in grooves that form neat designs does not make the gun function more reliably or more accurately. It just makes the gun look different.
This is like putting stripes on your Car.
Your car is not generating any more Grip, Power, or Braking… It’s still your same old car, but now with stripes.
With your firearms, Cosmetic Enhancements do about as much good. Don’t waste your money.
That being said, some Upgrades can help enhance your firearm’s performance over all. SLIPSTREAM, as applied by Crusader Weaponry, can make a gun that was less reliable, into a gun that is perfectly reliable.
Some finishes, such as Cerakote, will encase the firearm in a tough finish that makes is very difficult for corrosion to set in, and this enhances a firearm’s longevity.
Other’s out there such as NP3 make the gun attractive while more importantly providing a new finish that is slick and tough… again… enhancing reliability.
Don’t blow your money on Stripes.
Which one are you going to believe?
A Sheriff that’s trained, experienced, and knows his job inside and out. He says you should buy a gun. Buy a gun and get some good training on how to use it. Sounds like common sense to me.
We are living in dangerous times. There are dangerous people out there that want what you have. Listen to the Sheriff. Buy a Gun. Get Training. Protect Yourself and your Family.
The Democrats would have you believe otherwise for some reason. They want to take your guns. All of them. They have pretty much admitted to that several times, which is interesting. Threaten to take all, then there is less resistance when they only take some. Bite by bite, that’s how you eat an Elephant. And that’s how you wear away our Constitution.
What’s interesting is who’s coming out that is on our side. Phillip DeFranco shocked me.
I love how he turned “Sheriff Joe Biden” into a babbling idiot.
Of course, that’s like asking a fat kid if he wants cake and icecream.
Ban Liberalism
I just read that Stephen King says that the NRA should “clean up the blood and brains after the next the next massacre.”
These people are shockingly ignorant of reality. Even more so, they are dangerous to the health and safety of our nation. All of these mass shootings have been happening in “Gun Free Zones”. An idea set forth by Liberals. Most all of these maniacs that caused these grievous incidents have all been Democrats, or have been known to support Liberal ideology. Now, let’s take a look at an interesting map.
The most “Gun Violence” is happening in areas of high gun control, in areas where the Democrats have been running everything. Not only have Democrat Policy have been failing America, but they are failing themselves. Now they point at the NRA as the ones to blame?
The solution is very clear. We don’t need to Ban Guns. We need to Ban Democrats from Owning Guns and from Public Office and Administration.
Update: It was brought to my attention that the crime map is fake. Okay. So let’s put up a real one.
This one shows us that pretty much – Pack a Gun to keep you safe no matter where you are. And Democrat States remain the most dangerous.
Here’s a new one by one of our Readers…
Winter Riding
Yes, I ride in a Utah Winter. I am not crazy. I’m just cold. The trick is to watch out for patches of ice.
Notice in the first video I am in Vernal, heading home. I pulled out of Cafe Rio’s parking lot where I had a cup of soup… Tortilla Soup. And a Vanilla Coke. In the second video, that’s actually me heading into Vernal, to go get a cup of hot soup. Hey, I like their soup.
The Soup warmed me up so I could handle the ride back home. As I rode west, homeward, there was some bad weather rolling in. It was getting foggy and started snowing again. After I got home, it dropped 6 inches on Ogre Ranch.
Man… I hate Winter.
My very favorite gun.
Looking through all my guns… I just gotta say that my very favorite gun is the Remington 870 that was traded in from the local Police Department. There is nothing special about it. It’s just an old 870.
I keep coming back to it.
It’s got rifle sights. Extended feed tube. Side Saddle. That’s it. And it’s perfect.
Unified Front
Rob Pincus as written an article that has had me thinking ever since I read it. You guys need to read this. Because this is important.
At what point do people step beyond the protection of the “Unified Front” clause of the RKBA Movement?
As usual, Rob is Spot On.
We can not bend our will to satisfy Fud’s and Fence Sitters. This is an All or Nothing affair. We give up anything today, it’s giving up everything tomorrow. We need to police our own. And I’m happy to see that the NRA has stepped in. Like them or not, the NRA is our 800 Pound Gorilla, and when they lead, things happen. The NRA called for a Boycott of gun show, because Reed Exhibitions banned AR-15 rifles from this gunshow. As a result, they cancelled the show.
Some folks may be upset because of this. Because they don’t like, or don’t care about AR-15 rifles. But this is about far more than the AR-15. Your Browning BAR in .30-06 is next. Your old Browning Hi-Power is next. And it’s not the gun. Look at Diane Finestien’s “List”. Look at those companies. Thousands of good hard working Americans, our Brothers and Sisters, will be out of work. I’m sorry some of you didn’t get to go the gun show to find new butt-pads for your “Kicks like a Mule” .264, but this is more important.
Cheaper than Dirt needs to feel the crunch too. Those smug bastards were at SHOT SHOW. They were not treated well by many. Weak of Will, opportunistic price gougers… I’ve ordered from them in the past, but will never again do so. And neither should you.
The AR-15 is a rifle Americans should be proud of. It’s the Semi-Auto version of what our Military uses. America has a long tradition of it’s Citizens owning and using the same rifle that our Military uses. After WWII thousands and thousands of used and surplus military rifles were turned to public sale. There was even the Department of Civilian Marksmanship which sold rifles at a very low price. (Now that is a privatized organization) I remember looking at old newspapers that advertisements for these surplus guns for 10, 25, 50 dollars. An M1 Garand for fifty bucks, and a 1911 for 25 dollars, which left enough out of a hundred for some ammo.
But now we cant deal with our new crop of Vets and Citizens owning our military’s rifle? This makes no sense to me. The AR fires are around that is far weaker than that of the M1 Garand. The Garand has been used not just for War Fighting, but for hunting everything in North America, from Deer to Elk to Moose to Brown Bear. It’s a .30-06. The AR-15 fires .223 Remington, a cartridge that comes in boxes with pictures of Rodents printed on it. Yet the AR is the font of evil?
The prejudice against the AR-15 is based on Ignorance, Fear, and a huge case of “It doesn’t effect me”, well, let me tell you… It does effect you, and it will effect you a great deal if the Democrats get their way. Your shotgun will be too powerful and you don’t need that much power to kill a little bird. Your deer rifle will be labeled as a Deadly High Power Sniper Rifle that you Assassinate Bambi’s Mother with. They will take away everything. They have said themselves that this is their intent. They have said that more than a few times. They had even tried to ban any rifle round that can defeat police body armor – which is in fact, every rifle round. They want our guns. All our guns.
MOLON LABE.
Ogre in HD, Media Range Day
I don’t know how good I was looking before, but I look awesome in HD. Here’s some vid taken by Barry Markowitz at the Media Range Day. Unedited, you got the Full Monty here.
Okay, the reason that they are not edited… Sony Vegas doesn’t read the heathen MAC format I got the vids in, YouTube even said “We don’t recognize this file type, but we’ll try anyway.” And it worked. Which is good. Because the MSR video took all night to upload, in full HD.
You can see everyone was bundled up like we’re shooting in northern Alaska. We’re not… we’re shooting just outside of Las Vegas Nevada. I’m wearing an Under Armor nylon shirt under my sport coat, and that’s it. Hey, I like the silky feel. I ride motorcycles through Utah Winters, this little chilly day did not impress me.
Okay… Truthfully. I was freezing my ass off too, I just didn’t let it show. I could have worn a heavier jacket and all that, but what the hell. I looked good, while everyone else looked like they were off the set of THE THING. I still enjoyed the day because, hell, it’s shooting and I didn’t pay for the ammo. The one guy I felt sorry for, was the guy from Kel-Tec. He was just shivering and almost catatonic by 3:00. I was actually getting worried about him. He looked like he was hypothermic. Poor guy. Florida doesn’t get this cold, so he just didn’t cope very well.
Heaven Help Me.
I just put a Mini Red Dot on a Lever Action. In the Scout Position. My Marlin 1895GBL. I feel so dirty.
Yet… it feels good…
Heaven help me.
