Ninth Stage

To answer James Rummel’s question
Yes Mary has a sister but sorry guys her sister is married.
Mary enjoys shooting with me on occasion but mostly she lets me go to the range by myself.
I met Mary at a shooting match, The Bianchi Cup, four and a half years before we were married. She was helping [...]

I shot the XD-40 Sunday.
It was the day of the Gallatin Gun Club Family 3-gun shoot and barbecue. 25 rounds fired in trap, 10 rounds in rifle bullseye and 10 rounds pistol bullseye. I forgot all about it until I got there. I arrived late so I didn’t compete.
I was able to [...]

The French and Muslims brothers in spirit?
Muslims: Fond of chopping off heads throughout their history.
The French: Fond of chopping off heads particularly during their revolution, invented guillotine.

Just saw “The Graduate” at TPAC.
It was OK.
The best part: Kelly McGillis nude.
The worst part: The extra acts/scenes that were not in the film.
Judgment: I must be a cretin.

We all know how eeeeeevil Rumsfeld and his boy Bush are.
Nick Berg’s father Michael sued the U.S. government to get him released after Nick was picked up at an Iraqi checkpoint.
On April 5, the Bergs [Nick's parents] filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government, naming Rumsfeld and alleging their son was being held illegally by [...]

Warning Gun Pr0n!
I have in hand the pistols from my belated BAG day.
The top photo is the Glock 35 “intended for both competition and tactical applications”. The bottom photo is a Springfield XD-40 “Tactical” in .40 S&W. The images at the Springfield website don’t match this specimen and I don’t know why, if [...]

The Headline should read “UN employee murders Americans in Ambush”
Read about it here and here.
(via Instapundit)

In Canada a Colt Diamondback is a Smith and Wesson.
Matt Rustler points to the tale of one lucky student. It seems that the young man purchased an MP3 player in an online auction and was mistakenly sent the .22 revolver instead.
[Brandon Buchan] bid for the MP3 player on eBay, the Star Phoenix newspaper said. [...]

Notice the new blogger software?
Comments have been added and the permalinks go right to the post!
Examples:
Updated my blogroll.
My wife and I went to the range.
The problem with comments is that you need to click on the timestamp/permalink button to get to them (how would you know?).
The good news is that the old links seem to [...]

I’ve updated my Blogroll.
Updated the link to Publicola, the 2nd Amendment strongman.
Added Tarazet, the other blog by Jeff Soyer of Alphecca fame.
Added another pro 2nd Amendment blog that’s new to me The Countertop Chronicles, good stuff there including gun pr0n and besides where Say Uncle noticed that I’m back, Countertop noticed my wife. (in the [...]

Sunday my wife Mary and I went to the range where we shot her Grandfather’s Stevens/Savage single shot .410 gauge shotgun. Here’s Mary preparing to shoot.

I had never shot a .410 before so I was pleasantly surprised at how well it performed. You could use this to shoot game out to at least [...]

I know I haven’t mentioned it lately but I always read it.
So better late than never to check out Alphecca’s Weekly Check on the Bias. While you’re there make sure you check out the pictures, Jesse Jackson is carrying my wish list around in one.
After you’re done there check out Jeff’s other blog Tarazet

NPR: ~”Million Mom March draws few protestors”
Online The Voice of America shows a photograph of the march on the mall from 2000.

One more quote, okay paraphrase.
The first time I talked to my buddy after his return from Iraq he said “I stopped counting after the thirtysixth RPG fired at me or my group”.

That’s all the quotes I have from my childhood bud just back fron Falujah.

“To get attention [to the plight of the soldier]“
“another two or three dozen americans will have to die”.

“The problem with Rumsfeld as I see it is”
that the bleeding hearts in the military don’t listen to him enough”

“The guys at Abu Ghraib had to have American blood on their hands or at least really attempted to kill Americans to be sent there.”
“Or they had to be a big ‘name’ player”. “Everyone captured was sent to other detention sites and most were released, even if they had tried to kill us and [...]

“We had the ass”
” because we would pick up some guy and the paperwork would not be right and we would pick him up again”. “[What do you think happened] the third or fourth time he attacked [us]“?

Abu Ghraib was only for those found very likely to be guilty.
Our local prison “was designated for 60 prisoners but held up to 80 at a time”. “Abu Ghraib was only for those prisoners [that had been thouroughly vetted]. We would arrest the same guy three or four times and he wouldn’t be [...]
