Your day at the range just got cancelled?

It could mean that she wants to go, too.


That might should concern me.


The case of New Calibre Ammo is arriving tomorrow. So's the rifle. This'll rock. Oh, and the scope.


Heh . . . .

Which is nothing short of a goddamned shame.


Of course, I remember calling the cops once and being told to call back later.


I told him, when pigs fly.


Still no flying pigs.

Sign of the times Wat. Locally the piece of shit Mayor and his boot lick chief have so demoralized the police force that they're down almost 200 officers. Public safety plays second fiddle to virtue signaling politics.

Both parties, Democrats and Republicans, are controlled by the same people who have abused our rights, and who have deceived us with false promises every time an election rolls around.

Correct. Believing anything the regular losers say in this thread is dumb.

Sometimes I wonder to myself, what if they said I have a gun. How do I know its loaded? Could they help? Would they? Hint: I live in Fairfax County Virginia, USA.

An act of meditation is actually an act of faith--of faith in your spirit, in your own potential. Faith is the basis of meditation. Not of faith in something outside you--a metaphysical buddha, an unattainable ideal, or someone else's words. The faith is in yourself, in your own "buddha-nature." You too can be a buddha, an awakened being that lives and responds in a wise, creative, and compassionate way.

~ Martine Batchelor




You are not just a drop in the ocean. You are the ocean in the drop

~ Rumi





“The great master Mat-su, as a youth, was a fanatic about sitting in meditation for many hours at a time. One day, his patriarch’s disciple Huai-jang asked him what on earth he hoped to attain by this compulsive cross-legged sitting.

“Buddhahood,” said Mat-su.
Thereupon Huai-jang sat down, took a brick, and started to polish it assiduously. Mat-su looked at him, perplexed, and asked what he was doing.

“Oh,” said Huai-jang, “I am making a mirror out of my brick.”

“You can polish it till doomsday,” scoffed Mat-su, “you’ll never make a mirror out of a brick!”

“Aha!” smiled Huai-jang. “Maybe you are beginning to understand that you can sit until doomsday, it won’t make you into a Buddha.”

That $4 billions is worth maybe $85 billion today, plus interest . . . .


No, Britain did not finish paying its World War I debt to the US; it defaulted on the debt in 1934, and the government has not made repayments since. The final payments made by the UK in 2006 were for World War II loans, not the war debt from World War I.

Key Details on the WWI Debt:

• Default:
  Britain suspended payments on its World War I debt to the United States in 1934.
• Reasons for Default:
  The default was a response to France's own default and was influenced by the economic hardship of the Great Depression.
• Consequences:
  The default led to Britain losing access to US financial markets under the Johnson Act of 1934.
• Unpaid Status:
  The UK government effectively abandoned servicing the debt after 1934, leaving an outstanding balance of over $4 billion.
  

AI:

Britain's First World War debt ballooned from £650 million in 1914 to £7.7 billion by the end of the war in 1918, with the majority of this increase financed through borrowing and bonds. This massive debt burden required the government to make interest payments that were higher than the nation's entire pre-war expenditure, and it took almost a century for the debt to be fully repaid, with the final payment of a 3.5% War Loan made in 2015.

The Colt Paterson Revolver – The Beginning of American Revolvers​

The Colt Paterson is where the American revolver story really begins. Patented in 1836 and built by the Patent Arms Manufacturing Company in Paterson, New Jersey, it was Samuel Colt’s first commercial success and failure at the same time. Success, because the mechanism worked and showed the world what a practical repeating handgun could do. Failure, because sales were slow and the company went bankrupt in 1842. Still, the Paterson set the pattern for almost every Colt that followed and helped change how Americans fought on horseback and on foot.

Colt’s idea came from simple clockwork. On a sea voyage as a young man, he studied the ratchet and pawl systems around him and carved a wooden model of a rotating cylinder pistol. The concept was a single action. Cock the hammer, and the internal hand turned the cylinder to bring a fresh chamber in line with the barrel. Pull the trigger, and the pistol fired a percussion cap and ball. This cycle, repeated five times, delivered a power and tempo that a single-shot pistol could not match.

The Paterson family produced several models, ranging from tiny pocket guns to the No. 5 Holster Model, more commonly known as the Texas Paterson. Most were five-shot guns in small bores, such as .28 and .31, with the Holster model moving up to .36. Early guns had no loading lever. To charge them, the shooter removed a wedge, slipped off the barrel, pulled the cylinder, and loaded powder and ball on the bench with a separate tool. It was a careful process, but it meant a compact profile. Later Holster models added a fixed rammer under the barrel, which made field loading faster and more practical.


And so on . . . .

Now, why had I never heard of this?


The SIG Sauer P227 is an American-designed and produced semi-automatic pistol which was introduced in 2013 and discontinued in 2019. The P227 introduced a double-stack .45 ACP caliber handgun into the SIG Sauer lineup. It was introduced along with the P224

Federal Government Will Argue Against Illinois AWB (Assault Weapons Ban) In 7th Circuit Court Case​

In a very positive move for the gun-rights movement, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is set to present oral arguments in the lawsuit challenging Illinois’ ban on so-called “assault weapons.” Interestingly, in the case Barnett v. Raoul, rather than supporting the ban, the federal government intends to argue that the law violates the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.


In an amicus brief filed with the court in June, the government argued that the Illinois ban goes too far and completely ignores the directives set down by the U.S. Supreme Court in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.


And so on . . . .

You know that spider who lived his entire life in your house? The spider you just killed?? Squished him quite flat, you did.


What if he lived his whole life thinking that you were his roommate? Did you consider that??


No, because you only think about yourself . . . .

I have a household rule; spiders who live above the ceiling and below the floor can stay. Intrude on my private space, and you're going to that big web in the sky.

I leave them be. They kill-n-eat bugs. If the cats get them, that's Allah's way of Balancing The Equation.



I found a reasonably priced AR upper in 6mm ARC. It's headed this way.
