Oh, wait... replicas. Pff. Easy Jimmy L. Don't get yersef all worked up. Cops DO occasionally shoot folks that point non functioning stuff at them, but it's still pretty rare.
Love your stuff man. Since I checked out the Art Frahm stuff back in '02.

RAT PATROL!
In COLOR!
Filmed on location in Spain.
The part of the plucky British commandos raiding behind enemy lines will be played mostly by ruggedly handsome Americans.
The part of the German will be played by a guy with a high school chemistry class safety goggle on his cover.
The part of the sidearms for both sides will be played by Spanish sub-machines guns rather than Tommy Guns or MP40s. The parts of Tanks will be played by modern stuff. It is so hard to get ACTUAL Panzer MkIIIs and M3 Lees. NO one will ever aim a gun except for the M1919. Of course. You don't have to aim your garden hose, do you?
And the part of the Script Writer will be played by large group of trained monkeys.
GAH this show was much better in re-runs when I was a kid in 1981. Why did I go ahead and rent the rest of season 1?

A Tyrant
A tyrants makes light of his tyranny.
Hilarious, Mr. TSA. Just keep following orders you overly officious member of a useless parasitic organization that exists to pay it's public service union members and perform security theater. Get your laughs where you can. Nice.
I have zero sympathy for the "woe is me, I'm just following orders, I don't like it, I just have fooled myself into thinking I make the flying public safe" TSA gropers. I have less sympathies for those that defend and rationalize such action, for they do it in my name. These are my, and our, public servants doing this to people.

SWAT vs Zombie
Here we see a Russian SWAT officer getting grabbed by a zombie as he attempts to flee. He is mere moments away from the infectious bit at this point. Note he has no real weapon of any kind. He is a goner.
If he is true to the narrative form he may hide the bite from his comrades only to turn later and then infect all of them.
Or, there are many more zombie off camera and he will be swarmed and devoured 3 minutes after this picture was taken.
Note the architecture in the background. Say what you will about Soviet era concrete blocky buildings, there are easier to blockade against hordes. Maybe Lenin was onto something...

Crime
Crime surges in the District of Columbia! Armed robberies up.
I bet Emily will get blamed for this... After all, guns cause crime, and her's is new in town. Probably brought a lot of crime in with it from the Sig factory.

Well...
Well they unblocked blogspot and untightened the throttling of the internet at work. I guess higher up bosses were a bit bored or had their own blogs to follow. Good good.
Been feeling under the weather. I thought is was just sympathy symptoms for Paltrow, but a bad case of Grippe or Krupe or summat was going around the office.
If it was the Contagion movie virus, I'd be dead now. But I ain't dead. Put your shovels back in the shed.
It made me miss out on Range Day, tho. Dang.
Did my taxes. I have my withholdings dialed in so that I only get back $580. While it's nice to get a $3000 tax refund, I'd rather hold onto most of my money than let the gummint do it for me. Of course I have to get back SOME refund. It would rankle to have to write a check even for $4. Anyway, not a lot there for Buy A Gun day, is it? I should buy a stripped receiver. Just to have it. Easy to stash. THAT would fit in my gunsafe, certainly.
Running on blog fumes otherwise.

Zombies! RUN!
I can't play this. I haven't advanced, technologically, beyond about 1985.
Apparently, your smart phone will yell at you that there are undead behind you, so scoot! And it's NPR, so if the game was, "Turn, and place a 9mm in its melon," they wouldn't have reviewed it.
Plus, I ran my ass off for 7 years and hated every damn minute of it.

Oh Golly!
A whole hour of British people and French resistance types from back when those countries weren't afraid of butt-kickery.

1911s
I like how it is STILL argued by millions as the best handgun option available, bar none. Despite the design being nearly unchanged in a century.
"My Model T is the best car you can drive." Nope, no one falls for that one. (Love to have one because they are neat, but I wouldn't use it for transportation)
"You use a computer word processor? Pff. I'll just stick with my Underwood N. 5, thank you." Lovely, but suboptimal. (though I love playing with manuals my own self.)
"My Thor get's my clothes cleaner than any Maytag made in the past 20 years could." Naw, and mind the ringer. Don't get caught in it.
Sure the arguments and preference for something OTHER than a 1911 are perfectly valid. That doesn't change the fact it is still a go to item for lots and lots of folks.
Plus the whole "Killed a lotta Nazis and Commies."
My XO 20 years ago even got one with his 1911 20 years previous to that. VC got him in the trigger guard and creased his temple with an AK AFTER said VC had an extra .45 inch hole in the head region, too. The Colonel (Lieutenant. at the time) woke in the hospital with the frame still 'attached' to his hand. They were going to worry about that later, after the head wound stabilized a bit.
Never met a Veteran that potted a Nazi with a Colt .45. Dang. Probably won't at this point. I met a Dutch resistance guy that shoved a Nazi into an icy canal walking home from a prostitute. HE got the Germans pistol before the splash.

Spotted on Zombie Hunters. An Umbrella Corporation Lower.
Hopefully will be available, soon, commercially.

DA, wayback machine
FBI training film for the Air Force, circa 1960.
Some old skool fundamentals for those of us that still own them and carry them.
And by old skool I mean, 'not used much anymore'. Look, one handed shooting Ma! And the old "pop a squat" stance, too. Point shooting! Good times. Still, lots of bad guys got dead with that method back in olden times.
They do start out with Rule #2 (never point it anything you don't want to destroy). At least that is a good start
Neat. A "crack the whip" method of drawing from the holster. At 4:03. Don't like that at all... Bad retention.
Interesting. They raise the revolver up to eye/shoulder level and then STILL don't use the sights. 9:15
Good! Encouragement for dry fire training. 11:50
Oh and I can't let this one go without sharing. Check out that opening scene. Groovy.

Walking Dead...
KILLED the zombie meme. I refuse to watch. Dead to me.
I actually dread WWZ because Walking Dead stuck a stake into the heart of the genre. To mix a metaphor. George Romero is spinning in his grave. And he's not even dead yet.
Zombie shows have joined the Choir Invisible. They are pushing up daisies. Bought the farm with the barn full of undead loved ones. It's gone shaved-gymrat-deputy-mantits up. Pining for the Georgia quarry fjords. They've bleeding demised. They have gone to meet its maker. They've passed on. The joke has ceased to be. It is no more.
It is an EX-meme.

Contagion
Saw the movie Contagion.
A virus originates in China. Though that detail doesn't really matter. It is quick and easily contagious and breaks free of any possibility of containment. No treatment is available initially. Mortality is similar to the Spanish Flu pandemic of 90 some years ago, or worse. Millions and millions die.
People then act like, you know, people at all levels. Civil order almost completely breaks down. Some act nobly and heroically. Many act like scared violent animals. Some lie on the internet and get millions extra killed. Some do their best and try to keep their head down and just get through this, hoping things will get back to normal in a year or so. When gummint folks make an error they are probably not motivate by evil, and probably not greed either. Chance are they are merely incompetent or make a mistake. People do that.
The movie made me want to buy more MREs and such.
It was ok as a piece of entertainment. Nothing to write home about performance-wise. Better as a lesson of possibility.
Dont's:

Dont's:
- Don't arm yourself with you first gun after the rioters and looters have slaughtered your neighbor, necessitating YOU to search the homes of other empty homes for that left behind side by side.
- When you go shopping for groceries and the looting has been going on for at least an hour, don't press on hoping that maybe YOUR grocery store is fine and working as normal.
- Don't fail to have a years worth of food on hand.
- Don't trust your hot blonde wife named Gwyneth Paltrow NOT to sleep around on you. She does it in a plurality of her movies. THINK, man.
- Stop touching your face. That's how you get germs.

Happy Saint Valemtimes Day!
(My WWII vet neighbor, Archie, tells me stories about pro-kits all the time.)
"I musta gotten it on a terlet seat, Doc..."

Prepper ala Doomsday.
I wonder if that new Doomsday Preppers show will be any good?
Hmph.
"If maurading bands come, I'll show them what great food I have.... Otherwise I'll poison them or cut their throats in their sleep."
You think it will work like that, Chauncey? I don't even want to know what neighborhood you live in because it would hollow out before I got out my door.
Like work folks that assume in a Black Swan even they'll just go to Walmart and loot it of ammo and such like they will be the first to think of such a notion.
"We have weapons for every individual in the house"
Pff. I got a 3 gun system for a small fireteam. MBtGE can equip a squad.
"700 cans..."
Good on you! That's the spirit.
"We're buggin out!"
Great, voluntary refugees... I should give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe a train of Benzene piled up 5 miles away. Or a wall of lava is coming toward them from the local volcano. And there is big problems everywhere else too when this happens.
Hmph.

Abraham Lincoln
Early MHI member, clearly
They could have portrayed the Washington Monument accurately. But that may be from 'now' time in the movie.
They got the beanpole and cornstalk railroad bridge kinda nice, if exaggerated...

See Athens?
See what's happening in Greece? That should be a warning to us, big as brass. "Do not emulate the fiscal crap Europe does"
Easy-peasy

We need our own PSA
We need an education campaign. A gunnie PSA. That would be a valuable use of NRA dues dollars.
Our opponents, 2 decades ago, successfully conflated semi-automatic firearm, and MACHINE GUN DEALING DEATH IN THE DAYCARE! Now, the general public is still cruising on auto-pilot, automatically assuming the simple semi-auto is a true automatic whenever the term is mentioned on the newsradio they listen to whilst driving their auto.
A nice friendly commercial. "Officer Friendly has one. He carries it on his hip everywhere to protect you from bad guys. Grandpa carried one in the war. No not the grandpa that fought on those god forsaken islands. The grandpa that ran the PX for the Army Supply division in Hackensack New Jersey. Magnum PI had one. And most everyone that ones 3 guns has one. The nice lady next to you in the grocery store in a Carry-Friendly state? She probably has one, too. It's the semi-automatic. Also known as a 'pistol' or 'rifle'. It is not a machinegun. A pistol 100 years ago was a revolver. Wonderful old school guns. The 20th Century pistol is the Semi-Automatic."

Blocked!
My work is now blocking mine and 90% of other gun blogs. Marking it as "Adult/Mature Content". One of the few blogs still up is Hell In A Handbasket, and, ironically, it is the one most likely to have some girlie pics hosted on occasion.
What does this mean? I do a lot of my blog 'thinkin' at work. With my inspiration ganked there will be less thinkin. This move may actually kill this blog. We shall see. And I won't fade and go away like Breda did. I'll leave ANGRY!!
