Things are looking up, Delta Whiskies and Whisketts; tally for today stands at two at room temperature, and one hopefully removed from the gene pool via a high speed no anesthetic vasectomy.

These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of men and women. — Thomas Paine, The Crisis, Intro. (Dec. 1776).

VIDEO: Suspended Driver with a Toddler in His Car Brings Firetruck to a Stop in Road Rage Incident
Can’t make this up.

On Tuesday, April 23, 2019, at approximately 2:25 p.m., firefighters on Engine 32 from the Bay District Volunteer Fire Department were returning to their station in Lexington Park, after a kitchen fire in Great Mills.

While on Great Mills Road a male in a Hyundai Sonata pulled alongside the firetruck and started yelling out his window to firefighters about the speed he perceived their truck was traveling at. The driver of the Sonata pulled in front of the fire truck and slammed on his brakes, he then came to a complete stop in the middle of the road, stopping the firetruck. The firefighters contacted dispatchers about the incident and asked for police to respond to the area.

The firetruck followed the Sonata into the parking lot of the St. Mary’s Square to provide dispatches an updated location for police.

T/C Encore? G2 Contender? The G1 had a shorter forestock.

Is that a grease fitting for the front sight?

Glock 1911.

Mustang Major

I thought it was a caulking gun at first look.

Ex-PH2

Mockup model for the Space Force to carry when hunting Moonworms (they only come out at night).

The fellow with the tot in the baby seat is a real piece of work.

David

The long awaited Glock .22!

“Is that a grease fitting for the front sight?”

Poor man’s M3.

Hondo

Now THAT’S ugly enough to be called “gun pr0n”! (smile)

Mustang Major

Good work selecting this fine example.

GDContractor

I suspect this was a, “Here’s my assault pistol, can I have my $250 gift card please?”

yea, it looks like a zerk fitting so it’s a replica of the .45 M3 grease gun. Doesn’t look like the green parkerized ones that the force recon Marines carried when they came aboard the Okie 3 with the Marine BLT we used to pick up at Moorehead City.

Hood rat gat, circa 2018?

Two (2) DRTs is always good FIRST thing in the morning. And maybe homeboy’s new St Lo nickname will be changed from numbnuts to no nuts. Gonna be a great day.

What kind of dumbass pits a Sonata coupe against a 80K (?) lb Fire truck?….oh….never mind.

That is one more fugly gun pr0n pic. More fugly than moooshelle or dashildabeast in a thong bikini. You know it wasn’t made by a Southerner or a Veteran. The sight isn’t held on with duct tape.

FatCircles0311

What is some straight up fallout 4 level 1 weapon crafting. 🤣

Hmmm

Maybe let Dogmeat make the next one?

GDContractor

I think I found my missing 10 millimeter socket. Someone’s water well pressure switch is missing an adjustment rod and spring.

How about the series six newton ring and the thingamagig to equalize the recoil to around zero point dip shit on a horizontal plane.

That sweet gat in the pic is either a .22 zipgun or a prop in the next Star Wars movie. I suspect that is a laser sight taped to the top of this “piece,” so the shooter doesn’t even have to look down the barrel to get on target.

MI Ranger

That looks like a old Streamlight TRL-6 (light and laser) under that red tape. Runs the price up quite a bit for the Zip-gun!
