All warm and fuzzy…

I read something today that made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Not in the good way either. Here are a few snippets from what I found.

(U) decentralized

terrorist movement

(U//FOUO) A movement of groups or individuals who

pursue shared ideological goals through tactics of leaderless

resistance independent of any larger terrorist organization

 

What are they doing that makes them terrorists?

Sen. Kennedy, Edward M. [MA]: Barely alive but still kicking down our rights.(unlike his passenger)

[I don't know why, but that last little part, really made me laugh. Probably because I point out to many that Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my guns. -B]

This one time at band camp!

    I saw this earlier today and just couldn't stop laughing.

QUARTZ HILL, Calif. (AP) - Don't mess with the marching band. That's what California authorities are saying after a 17-year-old girl used her marching band baton to beat back two would-be muggers.

Los Angeles County sheriff's Deputy Michael Rust says the Quartz Hill girl was walking to school April 24 when two men approached her from behind, tried to grab her coat and demanded money.

Instead, one got a punch in the nose and the other a kick to the groin. Rust says the girl then beat both of them with her band baton before she ran away.

The men had not been caught. But Rust says there's a clear message to take from the encounter:

"The moral to this story is don't mess with the marching band girls, or you just might get what you deserve. Final score: marching band 2, thugs 0."

 

All I can add to that is it's a bummer that they're not dead. On the upside, one might well be removed from the gene pool… Well at least one can only hope. For those who don't know, I married a band geek.

Boomershoot 2009

    Last weekend was Boomershoot 2009. Best 5 day vacation I've had in a long time. I even grabbed a high def video camera just for it. The next couple days I'm going to slowly start posting stories and I'll post video as I clean it up and edit it. Why must I edit it you ask, the full high-intensity video is a whopping 768 megs. The anvil and failed fire ball are 1.2 gigs. I do have a video of the successful fireball that we did on Thursday.

    Pictures will also be posted slowly but surely as well. I have very limited internet currently. It's on my laundry list of things to do, but at the top is finishing moving.

Here's a pic from the anvil launch.

Anvil Shot

And here's the fireball from Thursday.

 

It was 3 seconds of pure awesomeness followed by 20 minutes of firefighting. I wish I had my camera on a tripod and caught the whole episode. In hindsight it was fun I guess, at the time though it was a little scary. We had all forgotten about Joe's post on Sunday.

Washington AFL Discrimination

    A friend from work was affected by the current issues in the state of Washington regarding an Alien Firearms License. Ends up he's actually been involved in the law suit against the state of Washington. He delivered good news the other day. Evidently the WA DOL was avoiding issuing new licensees for whatever reason. To me this is like BS stamp taxes, we require you to have one to be legal but we won't issue them. Luckily 1052 should put an end to this BS, which amazingly Washington is the only state with a BS law like this on the books.

Here is the Second Amendment Foundations release from when the case opened.

The good news is he finally got his AFL in hand. He's off to buy a celebratory firearm!
