Carry a Concealed Weapon-GUN! part3

Well, you have decided to be an armed member of society.
and
You have picked out a handgun/pistol you like.

Now what?

Assuming you are in a place where you can legally carry a weapon and have the proper paperwork from the guv'ment.............

Well you have to carry the gun and conceal it.

Carrying
First choice is on the belt, either strong side(preferable) or cross draw(not as preferable), last choice is small of the back.Either Outside the Waist Band,OWB, or Inside the Waist Band,IWB.

Second choice is in a BellyBand( elastic 4inch wide or so band that has a sewen holster in it and secures itself together with a Velcro closure. Super concealed but slow to draw the weapon

Third choice is a Shoulder holster. If you have ever worn one of these they never work like they show on TV or the movies.

Fourth choice is an ankle holster

Fifth choice is in a Cargo pocket of the specialty made cargo pants that have a pistol holster in the cargo pocket.

Sixth choice is in a fanny pack, but these scream GUN! like a "shoot me first vest"(more on the vest later.

The above were "on-body carry" which is always better because the gun is always on you.

Eight choice is in a jacket or coat pocket but this can be complicated because of weather, leaving the jacket behind etc.

Ninth choice is in a purse, backpack, briefcase. whatever. These can get lost, left behind etc. and there goes your weapon.

Tenth choice is in your pocket. Yes this is "on body" but guns that will fit in most folks pants/skirt pockets are not full size and don't have the stopping power. BUT a mouse gun is always better than no gun.

Holsters. be prepared to buy a few before you find one you like. Start out with cheaper ones to determine what you like before you plunk down $100 for a custom. If you ever go that far.

Speaking of custom holsters. If you like a gun that is not on the top tier sales wise in the USA you will need to purchase a custom holster in the style you like AND be prepared to wait 6 months for the holster to show up. [I had a HK USP full size I wanted to carry for a while, you said it, I got a cloth universal IWB short term and waited the 5 months for the custom]

More on concealment later..................

New York Harbor frozen

Was watching a TV program about the Revolutionary War on the 4th of July and one interesting thing was it was so cold the winter of 1779 that New York Harbor froze solid. Only time in recorded history that has happened

Found this blog at The Local

It is interesting reading from a 20 something Amererica female student in Stockholm.

Here is what she had to say about the Swedish Bikini Team

Swedish Infamy


Lest I be accused of perpetuating stereotypes about the strong, silent, Nordic types, I shall devote a little time to debunking a popular urban legend: the Swedish bikini team.

Back home, when I tell people (i.e. American guys) that I live in Sweden, their eyes light up like Times Square at New Year's. You can literally see what's going on in their dirty little minds because it's written all over their faces: blond, leggy supermodels clad in fur bikinis dancing in the streets with polar bears.**

Yes indeed, wild arctic fox fur makes excellent swimwear.

Now boys, shut your mouthes and wipe your chins. I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the Swedish Bikini Team shall forever remain a figment of your imagination. THERE IS NO SUCH THING. It is actually an American invention. If you ask the average Swede on the street (avid Playboy readers and fans of Dumb and Dumber aside, see below) about the SBT, you'll likely get a blank stare, or a look of confusion. Funny enough, most Swedes have never even heard of the Swedish Bikini Team.

The origin of the SBT is an advertising campaign for Old Milwaukee beer which ran in the States in the early 90s.**** The target audience was young, 21-plus beer drinkers (and their little brothers). The campaign slogan was “It doesn’t get any better than this...” Exhaustive research indicated that the target audience like women and parties. Gee, really?

As the creative director of the campaign, Patrick Scullin, puts it, the idea was simple: "A Monty Pythonesque notion: five women who have no reason for being except to magically appear in beer spots." Every young man's dream come true.


And guess what? Surprise, surprise. The women who played the SBT then made their debut on the cover of Playboy, sans bikini in the centerfold, of course. Later on, the SBT got friendly with Harry and Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber.

Then came the lawyers (you knew this was coming, didn't you?). The beer company had been hit with a sexual harassment suit by its female employees. The campaign was shut down, and the SBT went down in the chronicles of infamy, forever coming back to haunt Swedish women who dare to enter a beer-drinking establishment in the Anglo-Saxon world. And so it remains today.

**To be fair, Swedish guys get a similar look on their face when I tell them I drive a pick up truck when I'm back home. Lights, Camera, Action: And so begins the Coke commercial in their pretty little heads where the sun-drenched blond (that would be me) steps out of a monster truck wearing little more than a cowboy hat and boots, taking off her hat, hair tumbling down, framing her tanned face as her mouth forms into an O, and she lustfully lifts the bottle to her pouty lips...Yee hah...I'm WAAAAY TOO SEXY for my '89 Dodge Ram 50 (with a camper shell, I might add).**** Info snagged from an article by the creative director of the Old Milwaukee beer campaign, Patrick Scullin.

10 ways to spot a Leftist

In America that is.

Going to try to have some fun with this. Mostly referring to men but women fall into some of these also.


10. Drives a Prius.
9. Wears funky European shoes (always men, sometimes women) or an African muslim hat.
8. Generally(and I mean generally, but not always) looks wimpy or unmanly regardless of facial hair.
7. Rides a scooter.
6. One can spot leftists in a book store straight out, but I'm not sure I can verbalize or write an adequate description though.
5. Has a 'Che' shirt on.
4. In 2007 has longer styled or shoulder length hair.
3. Has a Mac-Apple sticker pasted on their vehicle somewhere.
2. Has a copy of the NY times.
1. Drives a Prius, I know it is a repeat, but man those lefty's sure luv their Hybrids.

Diversity is Racism

Been mulling this over and Diversity is generally racism.

You are selecting people on their race nothing more. Sad actually.

Right now some folks think that I'm white for posting that. You have no idea what my skin colour is.

Going to the Doctor in the UK

So if you are a native Englishman, how can you go to a Dr. from the Health Service if he is a foreigner from the Middle East?

So 9 or so of them wanted to blow up innocents, how do you know he is going to have a mini-jihad on you?

Can you refuse service in the land of Orwell?

teeter totter world

Just wrapped up reading some of Victor Davis Hanson's "fan" mail.

http://www.victorhanson.com/

Man, if these are representative of society at large, we are in a world of hurt. (I doubt it, but there are some terribly misinformed people out there who are incapable of thinking for themselves or any critical thought.)

These lefty dingbats are a scary bunch. They ever get in power for to long and we are in trouble.
If the lefties bring the USA to it's knees and turn it into the rest of the world, which many of them would like.......................

Scrape the veneer of civilization from the USA, and sometimes you can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again.

Uber-liberals, women, climbing, outdoorsy stuff

Going to rattle around this subject and perhaps poke a stick at liberal hypocrisy. (Nothing new there, but follow this along)

I spent a large part of my 20's pursuing human powered sports and while back then I was not the keen minded right winger I am today, I was on the far right side of moderate back then.

Climbers and human powered outdoor sports enthusiasts (like that human powered sport part as opposed to those terrible (fill in the blank here, ie snowmobilers etc.))are overwhelmingly mega liberals with a big splash of greeny-ness on top.

(they for the most part such bores because they could not think outside of liberal orthodoxy either)

Anyway, one of the pillars of modern liberalism is anything goes sexuality.

Also climbers think they are better than almost everyone else for a variety of reasons. They also would never judge someone on sex, except for some sex.

So when climbing manufactures, advertisers, magazines splash photo's of attractive young women around most of the climbing world turns as indignant as all get out.

So how terrible is it when someone splashes sex around climbing

well check this
http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=112



So climbers are better than that because they don't want to degrade women, or whatever.

They are all pseudo intellectuals and weak minded followers for the most part also.

A few quips antidote

John Long is a well known climbing writer. He tells a story of 2 women climbers climbing at the local crag. Both women had the exact same sports top/bra on and were climbing together. One of the gals was a typical skinny climber girl with smallish boobs. The other was a generous endowed busty girl. Well low and behold a few intellectual climber girls passed by and starting remarking about the busty one and how could she be so crass with boobage all 'round. They were wearing the same top! See Miss Norway in an earlier post

Another example: Bobbi Bensman was a women who had climbed some of the hardest routes at the time. She got a boob job sometime in the mid-1990's and was virtually never seen again in any climbing magazine or advertisement.

This post wandered a bit, sorry 'bout that. I guess my point is that modern liberals can get as indignant as any so-called Puritan conservative about sex.

Homeland

So throughout the debate over the latest Immigration Bill, written by an idiot, we heard repeatedly that we were a nation of immigrants. I disagree, the first folks over here were settlers or whatever. The title of immigrant didn't come until the 1900's.

anyway. Can I state the the term "Department of Homeland Security" and the usage of the term homeland in reference to the USA is simply retarded.

Driving the Enviro's crazy

These photos were in Outside Magazine a few years back.

Drove the furry-pitted enviro-lesbo's crazy because of something. (Mainly their lack of, well lots of things.................... maybe they hate women??)

anyway
more on this theme later............

some perspective on hajii's

Some folks you can't reason with or talk things out. There comes a time to fight unfortunately

Fred Thompson

First Fred post!

Fred Thompson may be the first person elected President of the USA in the TV era who is bald.

What? the last bald Prez was Ike right? Ford sorta doesn't count because he was not elected president.

Action movie heros

Anyone notice that action movie stars tend to be semi-right wingers or conservatives?

Watched Bruce Willis, on O'Reilly today. He was back tracking from his supposed conservative self.

Bruce Willis
Arnold Schwartz.........
Chuck Norris
Mel Gibson

Notice these are accused of being Conservatives? Granted Arnold took a left turn after being elected Governor.


And sensitive men like Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, etc. are all patsy libs?

Purple Hearts

Today's modern day metro-sexual/Democrat/anti victory man is really pathetic.


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by exertions of better men than himself."

John Stuart Mill



From Instapundit:

SOME PERSPECTIVE: I was reading some stuff on the plans for invading Japan at the end of World War II when I ran across this:

Nearly 500,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured in anticipation of the casualties resulting from the invasion of Japan. To the present date, all the American military casualties of the sixty years following the end of World War II — including the Korean and Vietnam Wars — have not exceeded that number. In 2003, there were still 120,000 of these Purple Heart medals in stock. There are so many in surplus that combat units in Iraq and Afghanistan are able to keep Purple Hearts on-hand for immediate award to wounded soldiers on the field.
