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.
First IDPA Match
Got my first IDPA Match this morning, have to admit I am a little nervous, but excited as hell. Shoving some food in my belly and then I am off to the races. Will update with results.
All I am aiming for is anything above last place.

Its a job, not my life...Life lessons from Booda
Still trying to figure out the people that work 24/7. I understand getting work done and taking care of business, but there has to be a separation between life and work.
I work so that I can have a life, not the other way around. I'm not one of those people who, if they won the lottery, would keep working to "keep from getting bored". Give me a billion dollars and my job can kiss my happy ass good bye! I might start a company or two, but it will be a cold day in hell before I work for The Man again!
My advice to you, make a billion dollars and quit your job with out telling your boss, he'll figure it out!

Its a spending problem, not a revenue problem
CBO says US to Fall off fiscal cliff
The CBO is saying that if we let the "Bush era tax cuts" expire, we will enter another recession. The issue is not revenue, the issue is spending. We can't continue the trend of deficit spending that we have been on for the last 20 years. We live in a great country, but as a country we can't give everyone a free ride.
If we continue the tax cuts permanently it will "cost" the US roughly 3.3 trillion over 10 years. I use "cost", because it is not costing the government anything, its not "costing" the government anything. The government doesn't make money, they take money, they are "letting" people keep the money that they earned. 3.3 trillion over 10 years is a drop in the bucket, we are currently at 15.7 trillion (not over 10 years, that is now).
We need to freeze government spending at current levels as a start, not automatic increase next year. We need to elect people into our government that understand what it takes to live within you means.

Why does this have to happen in NC cont.
This is just a follow up to the previous video. I am merely commenting on what I observed in the video, not on the history of the student or teacher.
Wow, what a great teacher / class. The respect in the room is overflowing, I think that everyone in this video is in the wrong. This shouldn't be happening in any classroom no matter where you are in America. I fault the teacher for not being able to control her students or herself, she is supposed to be the mature person in the classroom and should be above a yelling match with a student.
Now on to the meat of the issue - indoctrination in the schools. This is a prime example of how children are being taught beginning in grade school. We have a school system that is full on liberals that are pushing their own agenda. School is where people should learn Math, Science, English etc. This is not the place for singing songs about Obama.
Had the child actually talked bad about the President, then that would be grounds to tell him that he is our President and whether or not you agree with him, he deserves a certain amount of respect. She manages to take a valid question and try to spin in into slander.
My favorite point made by the Teacher of the Year, is that people were "arrested" for talking bad about President Bush. Where the hell did this happen? I'm betting that had it happened, the mainstream media would have had a field day with it.
From the sounds of things neither the student nor the teacher have any business being in a school environment.

The downward spiral of Adam Sandler
What the hell has happened to Adam Sandler? The comedic genius that came up with Billy Madison and Big Daddy hasn't made a movie that was worth a crap in a decade.
I'm not sure if it is just me and that I was immature and stupid, probably a bit of both. I'm still immature and stupid, the only difference is that now I can admit it. Neither one of these conditions excuse the lack of entertainment in Adam Sandler's recent cinematic adventures.
Whoever green lighted the one with him playing his own sister needs to be kicked in the taint.

Open house
So thatredneckswife.blogspot.com and I are trying to sell our house. We had an open house yesterday, poor showing is an understatement. We had 3 people come by, which averages to 1 per hour. could have been worse, but not the turn out I was hoping for.
Townhouse living is no longer working for the redneck family, we have too much stuff and not enough space. Need to get out of town and into some land where we can stretch our legs. Just need to talk thatredneckswife into moving out of the city. Easier said than done

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.

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

Walmart Parking Lot
So I took the little redneck to Walmart this morning, just a dad and his daughter out for some supplies. Walmart was, as always, crazy as shit. It is Saturday morning, its my fault I thought to go, should have gone last night after a few beers. Anyway, on to the parking lot shenanigans.
I am getting ready to back out of my parking spot, I check the mirrors, look around and cue up the tunes. The coast was clear, as I start backing out of my spot I get honked at! Now I had some primo parking so I figured this was a couple of jokers fighting over my bad ass parking spot...I was wrong! It was some ass face that didn't have the damn common sense to drive down the parking lot in the correct direction. WTF, when you are driving down the lane and you have to pull a fricking 3-point turn to get into a spot, might be goin the wrong direction. And that butthole honked at me! You know what I say about that? A big old F-U and a full salute with the middle finger.
Learn how to drive you ass clown!
Side note, prices on ammo seem to continue to rise 25.98 for the big box of .22, what the hell?

Beer Friday
It's Friday, Craig! So in celebration I am going to drink some beers, the flavor of the day is Miller Lite (due to carb restriction). I wonder if drinking 12 beers will make me want to do anything productive tomorrow? Also thatredneckswife is out so I am without supervision. Bring on the hunting shows and hangovers!

People know guns are awesome
It hasn't taken long, but people are finding out that guns are not quite as evil as they were taught in school. They actually go out and shoot them to realize that they are fun and safe. Wait...no one was injured while I was target shooting? I thought that guns kill people? That is what I was told in the news. Must be those crazy right wingers!
