Caution.
Amazing discipline by the Po-Po, I’d have dumped my entire mag without a second thought. Thanks once again to our usual suspects.
You must obey the law, always, not only when they grab you by your special place.

The suggested false 911 call article was interesting… Drugs are bad; the woman depicted in the mugshot is only 46

For the second time this week, I’ll type “Drugs are bad, mmmkay?” I
really hate having the experience to sharelove sharing stories of my methhead family and friends, but my brother’s on-again, off-again fling is his ex-girlfriend’s 40-year-old daughter. It’s been close to 10 years when I was over at his house (he was still with the GF and didn’t have obvious issues) and the daughter walked in. I didn’t recognize her. She had lost every tooth and was about 60 pounds lighter. Just eight years previously, they had hopes of me hooking up with her. I dodged a bullet and probably a spit out tooth with that one.The
not-sofunny thing is that one minute the brother will be bragging on the internet about his “stepdaughter”, then the next he’s accusing her of stealing from him. Oddly enough, they always seem to be on good terms at the first of the month when the disability hits.It is a sad tragedy to watch family, friends, loved ones descend into the morass of drug abuse.
Fight back…bring any and every weapon to bear…even if it’s your attacker’s weapon.
Hate to point a finger at how stupid this dumbass was but… Busted up a nice Mercedes Benz too.
All despots will eventually be grabbed in their special place.
Just because it looks like a 1911 and feels like a chubby 1911 does not make it a 1911.
The chubby ones go by 2011.
Or Para-Ordnance (RIP). I found my Para Owners of America membership card months ago. I think they were bought by Remington, but they’ve been gone for a hot minute now.
My Tac-Four is nice. Commander-sized (shorter barrel), 13+1 capacity of .45 ACP, and a Light Double-Action design that is still very much a 1911 in all other aspects.
Roger that, OT…I was poking at the article’s author comparing the similarities of the 2011 to the 1911.
The chubby grip was my turn-off on Glocks. Then they came up with the 48. I own one.
Methhead family and friends Part Deux: my friend currently locked up for seven charges he went to court for on Halloween (got him a Nolle Prosequi, two certified misdemeanors, and four felonies waiting on a grand jury next month) tried pulling that suicide by cop stunt ears ago. Got pulled over and, knowing he had nearly four years hanging over him, jumped out with a vape pen in his hand. Didn’t work, got tased, a little beating, and spent the next four years in prison.
I wonder why I move 1000 Miles From Nowhere…
