Pass The Ammo

After work, Jonas and I headed out to the CDA Rifle Range to sight in our deer rifles. He had to sight his Remington .30-06 in pretty good. The scope took a bang, cos he crashed his dirt bike while the rifle was on his back. He was comin’ around a corner in the woods on a trail after a fresh rain, when he almost ran square into a bobcat. He turned too sharp and went into a slide. He shoulda poached the blasted animal. (j/k)

I brought along Heath’s Marlin 30-30. I didn’t feel like using my open sights on my 30-30. Plus the Marlin has a pretty decent scope on it. I managed to get it sighted in real well at 100 yards. Not bad at all for a 30-30.

Can’t wait to get out there.

I don’t know about some of you guys, but I’m lookin forward to next month when deer season opens for rifles. Me and my neighbor, Jonas, are headin to the range tomorrow to sight our deer rifles in. We also gotta pick up our tags, but I’m lookin forward to gettin out there.

Curtis made this for me. Thanks bud.

Hey guys, my younger brother is in it deep over at his website. Run over and leave a good word in for him.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
George W. Bush

Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended.
George W. Bush

The terrorists are fighting freedom with all their cunning and cruelty because freedom is their greatest fear - and they should be afraid, because freedom is on the march.
George W. Bush

I’m gittin all antsy in the pantsy. I can’t wait for the dinner and auction tomarrow night. Last year was a blast. I didn’t win any guns, but I did come home with a great little golden retreiver puppy, Marshall Dillon. He’s a great dog.

Well, hopefully I’ll win me a gun this year.

Update » No guns won by me this year. But we had a great time. I’ll see what pics are decent enough to post.

So this morning my buddy JJ Honeycutt came over with his new little baby. His XD-40 Caliber Springfield Armory Compact Pistol. We picked up Jarrid Rhodes and headed out to the creek to go break ‘er in.

The lessons learned from New Orleans are:

1. Keep enough food and water to last for a minimum of one month.

2. Keep a lot of flashlights and batteries around along with a couple of portable radios. Keep a well stock first aid kit as well. Keep a portable stove for cooking and boiling water.

3. Own guns and plenty of ammunition. Know how to use them and that includes everyone in your family old enough to handle a firearm.

4. Be prepared to use your firearms in defense of your life and the lives of your family members and neighbors.

5. Share what you can with your neighbors and form a neighborhood security team to keep unwanted people out until government authorities have secured the area.

6. When politicians tell you that only law enforcement and police should own guns in today’s “modern society”, tell them to go to hell… or New Orleans. There’s no difference between either at this point in time.

Sean Penn’s rescue bid sinks
From correspondents in New Orleans
05sep05

EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.

Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina’s flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch.

The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup.

When the boat’s motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down the flooded New Orleans street.

Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: “Whatever I can do to help.”

With the boat loaded with members of Penn’s entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: “How are you going to get any people in that thing?”

I’m at a loss for words.

Thanks Scott.

Everyone tune into Fox to watch Company Of Heroes at 6pm Pacific!

Thanks to Brian Gaffney for the reminder!

Update » I’m sad. They didn’t show it, due to the constant Katrina coverage.

Chad –

Yeah … Katrina was still too big a story by Sunday night.

We’ll re-air it soon — I’ll let you know then. We’ll also be offering a DVD will a lot of “bonus” footage that’s never been broadcast.

Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco, who earlier said she was “just furious” about the anarchy in New Orleans, said they were going with shoot-to-kill orders.

“These troops are battle-tested. They have M-16s and are locked and loaded,” Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco said.

“These troops know how to shoot and kill and I expect they will.”

And that…. is…. Awesome. Speakin of, American Soldier is headed down there to take care of business.

So we’ve all been hearing about the looting goin on down south in flood town. Listening to Bob and Tom this morning at work, they were even talking about the live tv crew during an interview had a looter taking stuff outta the shop behind them, on camera. No shame.

Heards of thugs have been driving around the city at night shooting at the rescue crews. Shooting at rescue crews??? WTF? I know exactly what you may be asking yourself.

Are they smoking crack?

The answer is yes. As we all know, crack is not for white folk. So that narrows things down quite a bit for New Orlean folks.

So I’ve been using this company for my web hosting, since I pretty much started web school, back in 2000. DirectNIC.com. They’re based in New Orleans. And these couple of cool guys stayed back at the biz, through Katrina to make sure all the websites stayed online. They’re up on a high story of a skyscraper. And they’ve been keepin a nice photolog of the “goings on” down below them.

They got about 16 pages of photos. Looters and the flood damage.

Anyways, it all comes down to this. Someway, and somehow… each of these looters has something in common. I can’t quite put my finger on it… but I know they do.

Maybe you readers can help me out. What do all of these looters have in common?
