The Soldier arrested for detaining illegals has been cleared of any wrong doing by the County Attourney: “This is a unique case with a very unique set of circumstances, and after a full analysis of the issues involved and the applicable law, prosecution is not appropriate,” said Thomas. Of course the CA hedged, he probably [...]
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do children of humans as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” — Helen Keller
Surprisingly the Missus liked shooting the old model Vaquero so I figure she’ll like the New Vaquero better since the grip is smaller, the hammer travel is shorter and it weighs almost 5oz less. On the first day with the New Vaquero I set her up with the load she liked in the old model [...]
And they say there are no hero’s today…. Seems Fonda handled the situation graciously though the city is pressing charges. And though she really does deserve it we should have more manners than to treat them the way they treated our GI’s when they came home. Sometimes it’s not as fun being the White Hats.
Taurus’s new catalog is out (download the PDF) and there are a few interesting things. First is, as I’m mentioned before, the Gaucho – the Taurus entry into the SAA market and from the 2 samples I’ve already seen it looks like they’re going to make a strong showing with it.

He finally says something I agree with and what does he do? He apologizes! The agravates me almost as much as DeLay apologizing for his comments about the courts. Comments that, like Arnold’s, were dead on target.
Interesting how even conservative advertising gives you more information than the mainstream press. Inflation is something that we’ve been noticing is a lot higher than the government is telling us. Forget fuel, go to Walmart and buy groceries! Over the last 3 or 4 months our average weekly Walmart bill has gone up at least [...]
I’ve maintained for many years that in the United States today the health care system gives out prescriptions rather than actually trying to root out the problem. But then if the doctors prescribed something “inconvenient” to the patient, that’s more inconvenient than the malady, the patient would whine “can’t you just give me a pill [...]
“The government of the United States of America, that’s the true negative force in this region,” Chavez said Spoken like the old Soviet style communist lapdog that he is. Let those on Hollywood espouse the virtues of Fidel Castro, he is still a ruthless communist dictator trying to pickup in South America where the USSR [...]
Finally. After a decade of the media demonizing shooting clubs and gun owners as “right wing extremists” and terrorists it is the Left wing Green and Animal rights groups that make the terrorist watch lists. While the “right wing” was being demonized by the media it was the Leftist groups like ALF/ELF and the SUV [...]
