Went tothe Valpo funshow with Partner and Ed. Good show, a couple very nice guns. I assume Obama gets a nice fat check from the major mfrs every time he makes noises about magazine bans etc. because the shows are nuts when he does.

There were several Krags, which Partner is a collector of; including one genuine carbine that had had the FRONT SIGHT HACKED OFF AND THE RECEIVER DRILLED AND TAPPED FOR A SCOPE. Some people should just be beaten.

There was an Arisaka that had been sporterized extremely well. I was impressed.

Nothing I could afford, of course. Nothing I wanted so badly I would work at saving the dough for. I keep thinking about buying a lower and having my very own AR. Nothing reached out and grabbed me.

Afterwards Partner, Ed and I went for a bite of lunch and spent an hour and change listening to the worst music ever.

It’s good enough that I’m savoring it, I only allow myself about ten pages a night.
The Kindle edition doesn’t have McCutcheons original cartoons in it, which is a shame, but the text is still wonderful. Apparently the Project Gutenberg content has the images, whcih I’m going to have to try to get.

Some of the book involves his experiences hunting with Teddy Roosevelt, including conversations with the (at that time) former President.

One of the most enjoyable chapters has them coming upon a wanderobo dog, who accompanies the hunting party for a while. His description of the dog, for dog lovers, is reason to read the book all by itself.

The amount of free books for the kindle is amazing- and the fact that the “Free” list is wall-to-wall packed with gems like this…. I will NEVER catch up on my reading.

When people are trying to bring legitimate change, and this bullshit happens.

Anytime legislators walk away from their jobs, their families should be held hostage until they return. Held in a prison cell with violent criminals, that is.

Any time a union worker takes off his job to protest, he should be fired.

This will never happen. We will never vote our way out of this. Ever.
