As you all know, I have been off on vacation for the past few weeks. We went to the Bahamas, then were back for a couple of days before leaving for 5 days to Myrtle Beach. While we were there, I went on a pilgrimage to Palmetto State Armory. I made a few small purchases and wound up $500 poorer as I left. (no firearms, of course) I did see some things there that have me ideas for my next build.
We stayed at a Hilton, and they were posted as not allowing any firearms, which has been Hilton’s policy forever. They don’t allow anyone, even off duty police, to carry. They are hypocritical assholes, because they make exceptions to their “no firearms” policy thusly:
- Sworn federal, state or local law enforcement officers while on official business and, when off duty, are required to carry weapons in the jurisdiction by statute, ordinance or rule,
- an exception otherwise made by a Regional Senior Vice President.
- Insured and/or bonded armored car service employees under contract either to the hotel or to certain hotel guests
- Airline flight crew members authorized by federal law who have current and valid credentials issued by the Department of Homeland Security/TSA as Federal Flight Deck Officers (“FFDOs”).
The Hilton family owns firearms and has 24/7 armed bodyguard protection. Well, I can’t afford armed bodyguards, so fuck them. I don’t give a shit. Concealed means concealed.
There were numerous businesses around Myrtle Beach that were posted, and signs have the force of law in SC, but again, I don’t care. If I get shot or robbed, those businesses aren’t going to pay for my medical bills, so fuck them.
I am done being nice.
While we are on the subject of being nice, the left is now demanding that the right play nice and play bipartisan games while trying to unite the country. No sale. For the past 8 years, I have been called racist, NAZI, misogynist, deplorable, uneducated, and ignorant. The left censored me and others with my views from social media, threatened to put me in a camp, locked me in my home for months, threatened to put me in jail, and said they wanted me dead. They tried to deplatform me, as well as trying to contact my employer to get me fired. At the same time, the left is saying that they don’t want to associate with members of their own families who didn’t vote like they did. For crying out loud, they have been KILLING people. Let’s not forget all that we have been through since 2015. Remember this shit?
I am not playing nice. As far as I am concerned, I am at war with the left. Sure, I haven’t yet gotten to the point of lethal means of combat, but I am fighting this war with everything that I have short of lethal force. I am not going to be nice, nor am I interested in being united with them. You said that you are my enemy and that you want me dead or in a camp. There is no reconciliation from that.
