Tyler’s ranch is a geographical oddity: every single time I go there, it gets more beautiful. It was a weekend much like this one that finally convinced me to move to Texas, and the frequency with which scenes like this one happen keeps me happily planted in my adoptive state. There’s something magical about spending all day in the wilderness, enjoying the beauty of nature, then shooting some guns and eating fresh free-range meat. And I feel like this one picture captured that feeling pretty well. But there’s one more picture that sums up the weekend’s activities . . .
Tyler here didn’t get into the proper shooting position before taking the shot, and as a result will be known as “Harry Potter” until the mark where the scope hit him on the forehead disappears. That was a common theme for the weekend: needing to know our equipment better. I needed to refine my zero (and possibly pick a better brand of ammunition) and Tyler needed to practice improvised shooting positions with his rifle.
That’s good news, though. It means we have something to work on in the off-season, and something to keep us going to the range for next year.
Now you know what would be really cool? If every gun owner in Virginia went out tomorrow and voted for Ken Cuccinelli. Sadly, tens of thousands will stay home, and thousands of others will vote for big-government libertine and phony libertarian Robert Sarvis to “send a message” to the GOP (message: “We didn’t vote for you, you lost, so now you owe us… something. Somehow. That you’re now in no position to grant us”.)
So, to all of the responsible gun owners, you have my sympathy for what appears to be inevitable. To the stay-at-homes and the message senders – you made your bed. Don’t you dare complain.
Cant beat the woods. Sure as hell wish I got some spirit of the deer this weekend. Got a great zero with my new hunting ammo yesterday, now I just need the chance to go use it 😀
Let’s hope the capitol building maintenance staff has plenty of razor blades on hand.
And let’s further hope the nannies don’t stop them from possessing and using them.
“I just want to say that, actually statistics are not on your side even if you had a gun,” Hudak said during the hearing. “And, chances are that if you would have had a gun, then he would have been able to get that from you and possibly use it against you.”
Elective representatives overwhelming problem. Failure to represent the people while giving their opinion on the right of self protection. THEY WILL DETERMINE FOR YOU, WITHOUT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY.
Slip of the tongue, gets them a spot over the mortar tube.
Hopefully we can keep momentum and continue to replace these folks… hopefully we won’t lose Virginia but I have seen the gun movement snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before..
Poor damsel was so traumatized by the cold calculating destruction of her captors that she jumped off the cliff and fell to her death… well now we know KJW should not be used to rescue eggs from eggnapper Hitler and that eggs develop Stockholm Syndrome remarkably fast.
