I am thinking about buying a new gun, but I don’t know anything about the CZ Scorpion. Has anyone had any experience with it?

Let’s say that there are two basketball teams that decide to play a game. Each coach decides that he will follow a different strategy: one decides to have his players drive the lane and score from inside, the other decides to have his players shoot from the outside and score 3 point shots.

The game plays out, and the first (driving) team scores 42 baskets for a total of 84 points, but loses to the second (three point shooting) team, who scored 29 baskets for a total of 87 points. The fans of the first team are incensed because their team scored more times than the other, and they insist that the league declare their team to be the champion. They demand that the three point shot be eliminated from the game. Surely, if it wasn’t for that stupid three point rule, their team would have won.

The following season, the fans decide that they will not allow the other team to play. The engage in a system of buying tickets to the team’s games and then they sit on the court and refuse to leave so the team can play. They also harass every employee of the team, from the guy who sells beer in the stands to the coach. They stand outside their houses, harass their children at school, and even refuse to allow them to enjoy an evening out.

This story is, of course, the story of the 2016 election and the Democrats’ response to it.

I splurged this weekend and bought a dual illumination ACOG for my AR10.

Here is a video of the homeless camps in Santa Anna, California. This is where the policies of the sanctuary state are leading us. We are quickly becoming a third world country.

The ACLU, long a defender of the Bill of Rights (except the  Second Amendment, which they abhor) has decided that the only speech that needs to be protected is that which is approved of by the left.

The collapse of this nation continues, and we march ever so closer to the Second Civil War.

For the past three weeks, I have been on vacation in Europe. We flew from Florida to New York, and caught a flight from there to London. Two days in London, and then on to Barcelona, Spain. We spent the night in Barcelona, where we caught our cruise ship.

The cruise went from Barcelona to Mallorca, then on to Marseilles, France. From there, we went to Florence/Pisa, then Rome, and Naples, Italy before returning to Barcelona. When we got off the ship in Barcelona, we spent four nights there, touring the city.

From Barcelona, we went to Dublin, Ireland. We spent four nights in Dublin, and then back to London for two days before catching our flight back to this side of the pond.

It was a great trip, and I am sure that I will be posting more about it in the near future.

I recently had the opportunity to meet with Florida Senator Marco Rubio. I discussed school shootings with him, and pointed out that there are many veteran and former law enforcement officers who are teachers, and when a school shooter enters a school, all they can do is hide with their children in the dark and hope that the shooter doesn’t find them.

He seemed pretty receptive, even though he pointed out that there is a lot of opposition to teachers carrying weapons. He wasn’t sure that there were votes at the Federal level to change that any time soon.

I did bring up a few points that it seemed had never occurred to him. I think it is important to meet with our legislators so that they are aware that there are pro gun rights people out there who think this is important.

In the past three months, I have met with my state rep, my congressman, and one of my Senators. I have made political donations to several, and have told the Republican party of Florida that there will be no donations from me, until they can stop assholes like Rick Scott from selling us out.

Let’s put some pressure on our elected officials.

In mid April, I ordered two level IIIA Bulletsafe vests, and a pair of lightweight ballistic plates, so that the vests would be rated as level IV. The vests shipped and arrived as promised. The problem is the plates.

They originally were supposed to ship on May 15th. That date came and went, with no notice that my plates had shipped. I contacted the company and received a return email from Chris Hale, the operations manager. He said that there were delays in production, and that my plates would ship by May 30th. Today, I checked and now the ship date has been pushed back again, this time to June 5th. I emailed Mr Hale and asked him to cancel my order, and since I was getting really close to the 60 limit for disputing credit card charges, I went ahead and disputed the charges with my credit card company.

At this point, BulletSafe does not appear to be able to deliver their products in a timely fashion. I would recommend that they be avoided until they can reliably deliver their products as promised.

This day marks the beginning of the 100 deadly days. What are they? They are the 100 days of summer, the days between the last day of the school year, and the beginning of the next. In each of the last five years, 1,022 people were killed in car crashes involving teens during those 100 days.

Some statistics:
– 89.2% of teens will be involved in a car crash during their first three years of driving

– 20% of all motor vehicle deaths are caused by teen drivers

– 50% of all fatal accidents involving teens are single vehicle accidents

– Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death among 15-20 year olds

If you are REALLY interested in saving the lives of teens, you should protest cars, not guns.
