Mayan apocalypse, gun control, etc....

The title should be enough for everyone on the world wide webs to want to tune in.  I have been mostly silent for the past few weeks with a whimper here or there, I was moving... so eat a dick.  Well this is my 200th post and I refuse to let it be a piece of shit!  Grab on to your asses....Here we go!!!!!!!!

1.  Mayan Apocalypse:
     Fuck yea!  This is one of the best reasons to drink since Easter, the solar eclipse, and breakfast.  There are actually people out there that think someone is going to turn off the lights at some point tomorrow, well I guess you have to believe in something.  I believe that if these Mayan fuckers were so damn smart that they would have made it to the end of the world.  (it is rumored that the original fast and furious started with them)

So grab you a ice cold brew and drink up fuckers!  If you make it to Saturday, keep drinking and celebrate that the Mayans were a bunch of fuckheads. 

2.  Gun Control
      I have be largely silent on the Sandy Hook tragedy.  Partially in respect, but partially to see what the facts of the matter were.  There is no way to describe it other than a tragedy, as a father I can not imagine the anger, fear and sadness that is sweeping through those families.  I keep them in my prayers.  I also pray for the shithead that killed all of those innocent children, I wish he could have received the help he needed which may have been the only preventative measure in this case.

On to the gun grabbing.....Everyone that I follow has pretty much said similar things, I agree with most of them.  I also have heard some views that scare me and some that surprise me.  The scary ones are the typical political talking head douche canoes.  The surprising one was from Ice T, who is the only person I have ever seen on TV take the 2nd amendment and describe its actual purpose, to protect the people of the United States from tyranny (not being able to go hunting).   The bill of rights did not give a flying fuck about people being able to hunt, it was to preserve the liberties of American people, hunting was a given. 

There is all sorts of other shit that I could ramble on about, but I need to hit the fridge for another beer and also need some content for post #201.  Thank you to all the people that have been putting up with my bullshit and to the only person to comment on a consistent  AngryMike!!

To those people that lurk around, throw out a damn comment and I will talk shit back to you!
 

Costas! What a Douche

I think the title tells the whole story.  Was he quoting someone? Yes.  Did he go full retard by saying what he did? Yes.  That is about the long and short of what I think.

I did love something I heard today about an NFL player not needing a gun to kill someone, I think it may have mentioned OJ Simpson.

I could go on for a few more words about how I think he should be ostracized for his lack of compassion by turning a tragedy into a political shit show.  Or how he was poo-pooing violence while getting ready to watch extremely large athletes run at each other at full speed  and go boom.

I think it has something to do with the duality of man.

Now show me your war face!!!

Lack of things that go boom

I need to get out and go shooting! It has been over a month since I have made anything go boom!  How did I let this happen?  I have been a slack ass!

Solution: IDPA match in the very near future

Ever since I started competitive shooting there has been a part of me that wants to tell normal ranges to fuck off!  I no longer look forward to shooting down a 3 foot wide alley.  It sucks. 

I need to go work on my form nonetheless....

Question for the gun nuts

What are your favorite gun / shooting websites? 

I have a few that I frequent, but am always looking for something new to waste time on. 

Hook a brotha up!!!

Well Shit! Gun Sales edition

Let the gubment hand outs begin.


Just a note for the republicans, get a candidate that is not a fucking moderate.  This is some bullshit.  Every time we worry about the fucking independents!  Just pick an actual conservative and see what happens. 

I know the gun industry is doing back flips thanks to the re-election of the best gun salesman in history.

Debate fest!

I wish I would have slept for the first 45 minutes of that damn debate, it was a fight to make me want to drink more.  Romney was touting his 5 finger death punch plan and Obama was hyping his "fairness is the way to prosperity (read socialism)" without an actual plan. 

Points I actually liked were right before I went to bed around 10 (yea, I'm a slack ass). 

Romney's answer to the immigration question, that was a good answer in my book.  Actually made it sound like illegal immigration was, well...illegal. 

Romney's beat down right before I went to bed, seems like he went on a 5 minute ass whooping fest of Obama's policies and record

Obama- sounded rhetorical at best, loved reading about his gun-control answer this morning.  Headlines should read  "Gun Sales Soar".  Gun shop owners must love this guy! 

Can we get a moderator that doesn't look like a man?  I have given up on getting one that is not biased.

What did I miss?  Any favorite quotes?

Gun Toys! Stag Arms Excutive Survivors Kit Edition

Ususally I would like to throw you some badass ideas about the cool shit that I see online, but this speaks for itself.  Its minimalist, it will get you through about 3 days on bare bones and you get a badass rifle / case combo out of it!  I would take one of these in a heartbeat! 

Personally I think that the pre-packaged BOBs and survival kits are for the birds, but this looks pretty nasty without the shitty mirror and whistle that come in most BOBs. 

Check it Yo! Stag Arms Executive Survivor Kit

IDPA: Match day with live updates...now with results

Just got registered and getting ready to start the festivities. Wish me luck!

I am going to try live updating for the stages.

10:12 first stage begins. Dude in my squad has copious amounts of chest hair coming out of his shirt
Just shot first stage only down 1

10:42 second stage here we go
Lots of distance on this stage lets see how I do
11:00 just shot, shat the bed on movement but did good on distance
Down 21 with 1 ftn. Shitty

11:13 stage 3 looks fun
11 down pretty good stage. Having fun!

11:34 getting hot! Last stage in the sun. Here we come shade! Get some!

12:09 stage 4 lit it up! Only down 1

12:46 stage 5 down 1 still kicking ass. This is like my golf game, shoot well but blow up on 1 hole we will see if I can pull out a top score like last time

1:12 waiting on the group ahead of us to get done with the stage! Come on bitches hurry up! I got cold beer waiting on me at the casa!

1:24 still waiting.... This rest period is throwing off my game

1:52 shot last stage down 13 not horrible but not breaking any records. All around good day I'm ready for next time!

Back at Casa De Redneck and kicking back a few cold ones and try to forget that second stage and the chest hair on that wookie that happened to be in my group


Please keep in mind when judging me for the scores that this is only my 2nd match ever! So when you look at that stage 2 score...eat it!

I hit the top 5 in my group!  that second stage can suck a fattie!  on to the next one

Gun Toys! generally cool shit edition

If you have a gun safe, its usually crowded.  I have no idea why mine is overflowing with crap, I need to get in there and clean it out.  When I do that I am going to be hopping on the bandwagon with http://www.storemoreguns.com/.  These guys have some amazing solutions for the lack of space in that gun cabinet of yours.

It looks a bit pricey, but it keeps your precious pieces from getting dinged up and allows you to use the shelves for your other random shit.  Definitely going to be adding a few of these to my Christmas list


Paracord Bikini.  What else could be better, in every survival scenario there are two constants...the need for paracord and the need for boobs.  This fulfills both!


Nike+Fuel.  This is a cool little gizmo that tracks your movement turning it into fuel.  It sounds like a pedometer but better. As with everything, you can link it to your iPhone.


Airvent Wall Safe.  I am a big proponent of having a safe.  It keeps stupid people from getting into your stuff.  This nifty little guy fits in your wall and looks like an air vent.  I'm guessing its not bomb proof, but should keep the lazy nuckleheads that are looking for your goodies out for a bit.

Gun Toys!... DIY Oil Filter Suppressor edition

Oil Filter Can - Thanks Guns.com

Great little idea...yes
Effective...yes
Would I do it....NO

This is one of those things that is great in theory, but screwing a oil filter on the end of a gun, I would reserve it for a zombie apocalypse scenario. 

I don't want anything on the end of my gun that is not designed for bullets to pass through. 

Could be a great addition, could make your gun blow up...

I bet someone is putting an oil filter in their BOB as we speak

Gun Toys: Ruger 10/22 takedown

Figured I would weigh in on this since no one has reviewed this gun yet. 

How do you improve on a legendary .22?  Make it packable!  This is a great idea! 

The 10/22 was one of the first rifles I learned to shoot when I was in the indian guides (back when you could still call them that, but that is another post all together). It shoots straight, doesn't have a kick and costs about $.005 per shot. What more could you ask for? 

Ruger continues to improve on their classic designs, from the 10/22 to the Mark series plinkers.  The 10/22 was a great gun to take out into the woods, but has now become one that you can shove in your pack for the impending onslaught of squirrel zombies! 

This has made the short list of toys I would like to purchase in the near future, I will update once the first shots have been fired.  My guess is, if its anything like a normal 10/22, on target with about 200 rounds following shortly thereafter. 

Here is one of the few reviews of the 10/22 from Guns.com

Guess this is why I carry a Glock

I thought the timing of this post by Caleb worked out too well with me about to purchase a new ride.  What kind of car is your gun?

I am way too practical, but I like my cars like I like my guns...reliable!  All I want either to do is work when I expect it, I don't need any shiny metal or fancy features. 

I also drool over other peoples guns, much like I do other peoples cars.

So what kind of gun is a mini-van?

Gun Toys .22 edition

Great article on the survival guns, namely the .22.  .22 Rifles for Survival. 

I don't care if you are a fan of the 9mm vs .45 argument, one thing most people can agree on is that the .22 is a cheap and fun way to get in some trigger time.  It will work for hunting everything from squirrels to beer cans and everything in between. 

Did I mention that it is cheap?

Gun Toys

Haven't done a gun toy post in a while, well check out this little bad boy from Ruger 22/45 lite.  I have a slight addiction to Ruger especially to their .22 pistols.  In my experience, they will feed just about any ammo you can find and are accurate as hell.
This is one smooth looking .22, the aluminum upper cuts down on weight, which was a downside to the Ruger Mark IIs , who needs a  35 oz .22?  The 22/45 lite has shaved the weight down to 22.80oz, that is getting close to a full pound less than the Mark II.  Looks like a great pistol for target or just plinking around the farm.
Only downside that I see to this pistol is the price tag (msrp $469), I am going to try and find a used one in about 6 months or so.

IDPA

This is what I did last weekend, not me, just a cool video that illustrates what IDPA is.

Soda ban in NY

So mayor Bloomberg wants to ban sugary drinks that are over 16 oz.  That should prevent obesity much like Chicago's gun ban prevented 25 people from being shot in 24 hours.  People need to start taking responsibility for themselves, all across the board.  This country is developing a law for everything, whatever happened to just taking care of yourself?  If someone wants to drink 25 cokes a day for 16 years straight, which will probably result in their death, let them!  We don't need laws to try and make people healthier, the way I figure is that if we let people do what they want then the issue will resolve itself. 

IDPA Results...

They finally posted the results for my first IDPA match....(drum roll please) I finished in the top part of my division!  I am very excited about this, I would even go so far as to say I am stoked about the results.  I entered into this contest just hoping to stay safe and not finish in dead last.  I accomplished both of those goals and then some.
I am officially hooked, next stop sponsorships and it shall become my full time job (adios sales job!).  The worst part was that the results came out last night around bedtime, which prevented me from going to sleep and then once asleep dreaming of nothing but my next match. The match in which I am hoisted on to shoulders for doing so well and a Glock (doesn't have to be Glock, I will take a sponsorship from a port-a-john company if it pays) sponsorship comes my way with a fat paycheck (adios sales job!...notice a trend?). 

IDPA

Holy hell, what a good time.  I shot my first IDPA match this morning, it was a great time.  This was one of the most challenging and fun experiences, The people were very friendly and welcoming and the stages were pretty inventive.  I didn't score too badly either.   Will be getting the results in the next few days and will update. I may have a new addiction.

Campus Concealed Carry

I have been thinking about this one for a while. 
There are so many people that are against the campus concealed carry (CCC), but why?  The arguments against CCC are the same ones used by anti-gun people for all laws.  They say that more guns = more crime, erroneous!  More guns = less crime (people are able to defend themselves). 

Please bear with me, this is going to morph into a concealed carry / pro gun tirade.

People who choose to carry concealed are usually law abiding citizens.  Enacting a law against carrying a firearm only disarms the people who follow the law. Preventing a lawfully concealed carry in your store, campus, restaurant, etc. does not prevent a criminal from entering your store with a gun.  They are called criminals for a reason, they have decided to disregard the law against robbing someone at gunpoint.  They will probably not abide by the law that prevents them from carrying in your store!  
 
This is the same thought process about gun purchases! 

My point is that if someone wants to break the law, they can, a law does not stop the crime from happening.  

Gun Video

Good info about how to stay safe during a traffic stop while carrying.  Me and thatredneckswife watched it a couple of times.

Tips when stopped
