I can’t carry most of the time, because most of the time I am in the PRI. And most of the companies I deal with have strident and stringent anti-gun policies.

I have never been unarmed. I may regularly be under armed, due to the stupid laws and rules in the places I go, but so long as I have a functioning brain I am never unarmed. No, that doesn’t help much in a gunfight. OTOH, it does help me do the things that avoid the possibility I will be in a gunfight, and I think I share this with most people who carry.

I have- as an experiment- concealed an M1 carbine. I’m a big guy, and I have joked about this in the past, but just to see if I could, I did. I did so around people who read this blog and they never had any idea.

Open carry a rifle in a restaurant? mall ninja newbie wannabe bullshit that has fucked the rest of us who do what we can not to draw attention to ourselves. Stop that shit, you dumbasses.

with knee pain for some length of time. While visiting Pascal back in January, his daughter, a skilled chiropractor herself, suggested I had some issues that she might correct.

I had the several days of the Shot show to work, so I was a bit afraid to take any chances that I might be in more pain, but I promised to go see someone qualified as soon as I could.

That turned out to be last night. The Someone Qualified was Dr Mark Werking. And the work he did was impressive.

I have not been able to straighten my left leg for about ten years. I still cannot fully straighten it, but it is a damned sight better than it was, and he assures me that I will improve with a few more treatments. hell, one day I might be able to run again.

Well, maybe not run.

But still, the trip home from Peoria, which usually requires two or more leg-stretching stops, did not require any, and I am now headed to bed with zero pain, which means I will sleep well. I have a local chiro recommended to me by Dr Werking and will be bringing my Xrays to her later in the month for followup work. It’s too damned soon to tell whether any of this is permanent, but so far, so good. I’ll take it.
