“cause if you d then you can buy me this when it goes up for auction….

For home defense, of course.

Yeah, no posting..

Burned out.

Been busy dealing with idiots and the weather and the issues they cause.

I don’t even have time to read the other folks that are smarter than me…

You can see them on the left side

Really: It is true:

See the memo HERE .

Rather than project force, the Agents should retreat when rocks and other items are thrown….

What kind of Chief have they got there? The agents I have met were strong, brave men, worthy of a better directive than that. 

That’ll put the fear of God into those illegals!

and will get me killed or something? Seems that you made a great deal of splash with your article, as I am sure you wanted to.

Really? You’d prefer that everyone carry a GLOCK or a M&P?

Who in hell asked you?

I suppose that you had to write about something in order to get paid, and a topic like this would get some comments so that your editor will now that people read your articles…..

While everyone is entiled to their opinion, your sucks. and it was, IMO, a poorly written article.

My choice of a pistol platform for self defense/CCW is not up to you. Yes, I have had a bad example of a 1911. I know Glocks that are shit too. One example having been sold to a close friend…both firearms were returned for service. and, not surprisingly, are now good examples of reliable firearms. (the 1911 variant that I had now has over 8k rounds through it with absolutely zero hiccups, despite being crap out of the box. The GLOCK has a similar round count after service, but wouldn’t fire a full magazine without issues as delivered). I’d be willing to bet my life on either of those firearm, if and when. In fact, I carry the 1911 variant almost daily. And I shoot about 20K rounds through my assorted 1911’s yearly.

You take all 1911’s and lump them into a group. Cheap ones, modified ones, and then you use Kimbers as you prime example….a company that built a reputation as a custom gushop and then has since traded on their name to easily impressed afficianados with more money than sense when it comes to purchasing firearms..(“I got a Kimber!!!! I must be an Operatianally Operational Operator!”) I actually know of very few Kimber 1911’s that run well enough that I would use them outside of a range…But I also know of many made by Para and Springfield that are excellent examples of quality reliable firearms….as is true of Glocks and, to a more limited extent, M&P’s. But I’d function test ANY firearm that I was going to plan to carry to defend myself with very carefully…I’d make sure that the ammo and the firearms were compatible and happy with each other, and that the gun would be reliable…not just for a magazine or two, but for hundreds of rounds…No matter what make of firearms…Glock, Para, Springfield, Colt, or Smith and Wesson.

What you prefer is up to you…the type of firearms, the particular style….and if you want to become a FanBoi to a particular brand or style, then, hey, you are (supposedly) an adult, and can make yer own choices.

I prefer the grip safety and the thumb safety….not the crap trigger safety abortion idea that Gaston Glock came up with…Your Mileage May, however, Vary…If you like your Glock, then by all means, use it. Just be careful when reholstering around me, please. (especially if you are a policeman!)

Actually, go ahead and bash the 1911. It’ll reduce the demand (maybe, if anyone cares what you write) and maybe make the prices come down.

In the meantime, I’ll take my chances with my 1911 on my hip in daily carry.  You carry what you want to.

Remember the post below about the German homeschooling family trying to stay here in the US? How the DHS and ICE wanted them returned to Germany….and the Supremes chose not to hear their case?

Strangely, DHS has reversed itself and granted them “Indefinite Deferred Status”.

SO as long as they are good, model visitors to this country, they can stay.

Strange, that reversal. Perhaps sanity broke out in the DHS….

They brought her back they had ordered her to testify, and had legal advice that she had effectively waived her 5th Amendment rights when she made her speech the first time she “testified”…

Others have been incarcerated for ignoring congress, (small ‘C’ on purpose) and for similar behavior have been held in “Contempt of Congress”.

Yet she walks today, a free woman.

Was this just a “show trial”?

Let’s face it, the RNC wants the Tea Party folks to go away nearly as much as the DNC does.

And I especially liked the rant that Cummings put forth in order to make a headline that drew eyes from Lerner.

ETA: The Outrider has an interesting take….

That Lois Lerner is supposed to spill the beans to congress.

1.  I wonder if she will?

II.  I wonder what she will tell ’em?

C.  If she does, how long will she live?

To give your name and then declare:

“I will NOT comply”.

(money quote starting about 6:28)

I think that if the Connecticut boys in blue choose poorly that there will be a real mess.

Randy Weaver got screwed because he was alone and isolated.  No one to help. By the time we all saw what was happening, they had the situation nailed down.

What will happen  if you are in Connecticut when you see your neighbors home besieged by the police…..Or hear a noise at night and see the SWAT team stacked up outside his door?

You know you are gonna be next.

So either you run (or hide) or take a stand. Stand on principles or watch your neighbor taken down….Live louse or ….?

Which will you choose?

There are more gunowners than cops to take them away….but alone you will fall….

You can make a difference when they are at your neighbor’s door…you are in their rear….they aren’t looking at you…

When enough don’t come home, they’ll get the message.

Will you take a stand? Remember, body armor…Aim high or aim low….

I fear that for our brethren in Connecticut, the time is coming when they will have to choose.

And I don’t think anyone is gonna like the outcome. 

I am SO glad I live in Indiana and won’t, for the near future at least, have to make such a decision. 

Illegally

And if they spoke Spanish….

German Home Schooling family faces deportation after supreme court denies hearing

So a German family flees to the US because they are persecuted by the German Government due to the fact that they choose to homeschool their kids rather than place them in State schools..

They apply for asylum here in the US in 2010. THEY DO EVERYTHING LEGALLY.

They have another child here in the US….(“Anchor Baby”?)

The Obama administration changes their minds after initially granting them asylum on grounds of religious persecution.

ICE changes their mind in 2012. Tells them they have to leave.

They appeal.

Supreme Court chooses not to hear the case.

Now, I wouldn’t bring this up, except that there are THOUSANDS of Mexicans who ILLEGALLY entered this country and who were caught after spending YEARS here who have NOT been deported….who are encouraged and allowed to stay here…..even though they entered and stayed illegally….and whose cases are being ignored by ICE and other relevant agencies.
 

Double standard?

I see this as a human rights issue….they are being persecuted and fined for not sending their kids to the State approved schools in Deutschland ….

If we let all the illegals stay, then we should let these people stay. They, at least, did everything legally and are, by all reports, model citizens.

Not so with some of the other cases.

But they are, apparently, not brown enough.

Perhaps they should learn to speak Spanish. Maybe move to California or Arizona….Or Chicago.

or at least the first 50 or so to take me up on this:

If you can find a legal way to get your “Assault Rifle” and or High Capacity Magazines or other banned (but previously legal)  firearms into my hand, I will offer storage in a safe, controlled environment. They will be stored in the same environment that my personal firearms are stored in

Insurance against fire and such is still up to you.

You can come and visit them at any time with a bit of notice. We even have decent ranges fairly close by so you can exercise them.

This is not an offer of storage forever, but only until you can either get the law repealed or move out of the state to a more congenial environment.  I should be at this location for at least another 2 years….

Email me for other details.

Jut tryin’ to help.
