    Breaking: US Supreme Court says BP agents can cut the razor wire in Texas.

    My understanding is that the Supreme Court lifted an injunction to stop the feds from cutting down the wire, and that's all. There is nothing at all that says Texas can't put up more wire. The case in the 5th circuit has not been decided. Right now Biden's only move would be to federalize the...

    I saw trails like this through the spotty when my partner was shooting in cold weather when the temperature was very close to the dewpoint. We were using normal 7.62x51 ammo and shooting 600-1000 yds. It was during a class with FARGO, whom I haven't seen here for a long time. He said he'd seen...

    The other side of the broken windows theory

    This probably isn't the Bob Weir I'm thinking of, but I'd be happy if it is. I know his bandmate Mickey Hart is a good friend of the Obamas. Giuliani's blueprint for successfully reducing crime is simple; it is beyond comprehension that no one has the balls to implement it again there or...

    Creative Conservatives

    This is easy - trying to prove anything to a liberal that is contrary to the approved liberal mantra is a waste of time and energy. I've been paid well for my creativity. I choose to create things and solutions that are useful. If you must fuck with a liberal, make him listen to the Amboy Dukes...

    New family member

    Beautiful dog. A Malinois named Yoda recently became a hero in my locale. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2023/09/say-hello-to-yoda-the-k9-who-played-critical-role-in-capture-of-escaped-pa-killer-report.html

    Do you guys prefer MIL or MOA?

    I've been using mils (with a mil dot scope with mil turrets). All of the things I was taught and literature from Vortex assume "real" mils (6283.2 in a circle) My "Arty" friend uses NATO mils (6400 in a circle). Russians mils are 6000 to a circle. The purist in me wonders if everything we use is...

    Remember when….

    you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to leave because I'd go berserk?

    If you meet a woman named Debbie Bernhardt, go immediately to the free clinic.

    Teaching kids to shoot

    I teach kids from 8 to 18 weekly. Every kid is different, but we have a lot more success moving them to the dominant eye side. If they or the parents resist, we let the cross dominant shooter try shooting glasses that block the dominant eye to force them to use the eye on the shooting side. They...

    Ron DeSantis to Lay Out Florida’s Law Enforcement ‘Blueprint’ to Crime-Ridden Philly, NYC

    The cities already know how to do it; they just don't want to. Rudolph Giuliani showed the world how to do it in the 90's.

    Fun Match Ideas

    I've recently been appointed to chairman of a gun club rifle committee, and have been asked to put together some fun matches at first and maybe some sanctioned matches later. I have 25, 50, 75, and 100 yd ranges available. Only the 75 yd range has suitable positions to use for sitting, kneeling...

    young gun training tips?

    Sounds like you're doing good Pocket. I teach kids from 8 YO to 18 every week, and my advice is to work on fundamentals such as building a stable position, breathing, trigger control, etc in between matches. You have to keep hammering on safety, and even the 8 YO kids get it, but sometimes kids'...

    Anybody play paintball?

    Ahhh, a good ol' Nelspot 007. I worked in a machine shop and made a better and longer barrel. A welded feed tube was problematic, so I went to an interference fit using liquid nitrogen. Most of the other parts in the Nelspot were replaced with ones I made. I was part of a team that played in a...

    Maggie’s Socially UNacceptable Humor

    Before the "incident", Bernie came a couple of times to the factory in which I was an engineer to perform source inspections on electrical equipment before it was shipped to power plants being built in NYC. He worked as a contractor to a large engineering company. I had lunch with him once, and...

    The diving community has known how to successfully do these dives safely for many years. I have no problem with pushing the boundaries to further knowledge and technology, but this dive was nothing but a stunt.

    I'm not a fan of extremely dangerous stunt dives that accomplish nothing and add nothing useful to our knowledge of diving. Many here don't know about or remember the death of Sheck trying this at Zacaton. The world lost a really brilliant mind to this nonsense.

    CA says no to charging electric cars

    Here in PA, it's easy to pay that much for propane if you're stupid. I own my propane tank and can shop any supplier who will come here. I'm pretty close to a community that lives on propane and won't connect to the grid, and they are more than happy to sell me propane at a price that is fair...
