So my wife went out for her 0730 power walk and I'm on the computer doing my classwork while our 9 yo grandson is having his cereal. My cell phone rings and it's my wife saying can you come outside and help me because I tripped and fell and a neighbor gal a few blocks down saw it and helped her up and drove her to our place. Wife was in serious pain in her left hip and we couldn't even get her out of the neighbor's car. So I grab the grandson and my wife's Sorento and follow the kind neighbor to the hospital ER in Temple. The ER attendant came out with a wheel chair and we got her into it but wife was in agony. After about two hours waiting they finally took her back for x-rays and sure enough, fractured left hip. Five hours later they finally had an open ER bed and could give her some morphine pain meds and said they'd move her to a room on a regular patient floor as soon as one was available. So it's now about 2230 and they moved us out into the corridor as they needed the ER bed room she was in. So we sat in the corridor for another 2+ hours until finally they got us upstairs to a regular room so this was going on 0130. We finally got her semi-settled (still in a lot of pain if she moved a little wrong). At any rate, I had to get back to the house to let the dog out. got there about 0245 and had to get up this am at 0600 to be back at the hospital to meet with the ortho surgeon as she is having surgery today. He is supposed to be top notch according to our DIL that works at the hospital as a doctor's placement project mgr.
On top of all that our son (aforesaid DIL's husband) got T-boned by a ghetto queen on his way home from work as she backed out of one of those pay-day check cashing joints into a six lane main thoroughfare. Fucked up his car good, front fender, passenger door, popped the front tire cracked the rim and fucked up the suspension.
Any how, rant over. Wife is going to be fine and up and motivating in a couple days.
Sometimes shit just comes in droves so I'm waiting for the third shoe to drop
Y'all have a safe and happy weekend. I'm just counting my blessings that my wife is going to be good and my son didn't get hurt.

Georgia's second-largest school district allows non-officers to ...​

https://www.reuters.com › world › georgias-second-larges...



7 hours ago — Georgia's second-largest school district has approved a policy to allow personnel who are not certified police officers to carry guns, .

Not from CA.

But just in case someone wasn't paying attention.

Governor effectively has banned any minor (<18 yo) from going to shooting ranges or participating in any shooting sports. This is effective July 1, 2022 due to an EMERGENCY clause. lol

Organizations are already cancelling events (Boy Scouts, etc.) that involve any minors.

Will PRS, USPSA, UML, etc. follow?

I’ve had a few in the past and enjoyed them, but never kept one… seeing what some people have posted them for lately, makes me wish I would have held onto a few.

Looking to sell a bunch of optics I'm not really using, or don't have plans for any longer.

• Brand new, unopened Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56, F1 reticle, MOA - 3300$ OBO shipped & insured
• FLIR Breach PTQ136 - I used this probably a total of 5 hours and purchased it less than 6 months ago. Word of warning, it eats CR123 batteries pretty fast. As such it was used mostly with a helmet mounted battery pack. Recommend picking up a 18650 battery extender for it if you are gonna helmet mount....Great little thermal but I decided to get a second pvs-14 for my panobridge. Never stored with batteries inside. Comes with all accessories (pouch/lens cloth) and manuals in original box. 1900$ shipped & insured.
• Vortex viper pst gen2 3-15x44, MRAD, EBR-2C. Used a few matches on my gas gun and dasher. Some light scratching on the tube and a small stain from blue loctite that can probably be removed or sharpied over. Comes in original box with sunshade and caps - 550$ shipped Sold to literbike
• Vortex venom 5-25x56 MRAD ebr7c - this also was mounted and zeroed, then sat in the safe. Also has an ever so small amount of blue loctite stain as shown in pics. Comes in original box with bikini cover, sunshade, and throw lever - 400$ shipped OBO
• Riton 3 tactix 1-8x24 SFP lpvo, illuminated OT reticle. Mounted and zeroed/shot ~25 rounds or so and it sat in the safe. Comes in original box with all accessories/lens caps - 275$ shipped
• MDT grnd pod - used at the range 1-2 times but never in the field. My ckye pod came a week before it so I really only tried this out as an alternative to my atlas for making weight in NRL hunter matches . These are ARCA only, no pic option otherwise I'd probably keep this for gas guns - 175$ shipped.

Sounds like somebody's authority wasn't respected.



A Rochester police officer is on desk duty after he was caught on camera forcefully handcuffing an emergency medical technician who’d reportedly bumped his squad car with her ambulance door just outside a hospital.

According to News 10 Rochester, the Monroe Ambulance EMT was attempting to unload a patient in the ambulance bay area at Strong Memorial Hospital when she hit the cop’s car. The officer then demanded the EMT give him her identification, but the health-care worker was more concerned about getting the patient inside the hospital for treatment, the report says.

In a video of the incident obtained by News 10, the EMT can be seen standing next to a colleague at the hospital check-in desk with the patient on a stretcher. The investigator, who is wearing a red shirt, then rushes toward the EMT, pushing her into a wall before handcuffing her and escorting her out of the hospital. The medical worker was ultimately released from custody without charges being filed.

In a statement released Friday on Facebook, Monroe Ambulance said the EMT made the correct call in bringing the patient inside the hospital as soon as possible.

“While the incident is still under internal investigation, our review of the video footage of the event indicates the safety of both our employee and that of her patient were jeopardized by the action of the officer,” the statement said. “Our employee demonstrated sound decision making by prioritizing the care of her patient and it is the expectation of all our care providers to do the same.”

“Furthermore, we do not believe the behavior of the officer aligns with the values of RPD leadership and should in no way condemn the rest of the brave brothers and sisters in blue. We are eager to learn of the outcome of RPD’s official investigation,” the statement added.

The Rochester Police Department tweeted a statement Friday, saying it has opened an internal investigation into the arrest and “prides itself on providing professional and courteous services to [the] community.”

“I demand the members of the Rochester Police Department perform their duties in a professional manner,” Rochester police chief David Smith said. “And as such, we must hold ourselves to a high standard of accountability.”

The officer involved has since been assigned to administrative duties.



She bumped his car with her door. It's not like she was doing something crazy like trying to save her child from being murdered by a school shooter.

I’ve seen teasers for this but not much info on it. Does anyone have know any of the specs or new features or possible release date?

I have looked at every trusted site out there. I assume they are back ordered but man it’s a hard duck to find. I am not posting a WTB because of scammers. Just wondering is anyone else experiencing the same issue.

It is obvious that the left is pushing the "new green deal", along with the "new world order" bullshit...........

There is one thing that the left fears in the United States...............The Second Amendment ..........

"To Keep And Bear Arms..........Shall Not Be Infringed".....................

The latest numbers I can find is there is an estimated 400, million privately owned firearms in the United States............this is the opposition that they fear........

We have slowly been losing our gun rights for decades............

An assault weapons ban may, or may not become a reality in this country................

I am old, I think my best years are behind me............death.............we will all face it some day...............

On your feet , or on your knees...........

My final response to any weapons ban will be a two word response........

FUCK YOU.........

And, I know that the're millions of Americans that think the same................

Tikka builds the best factory rifle under 2k ... Period...

Anybody have something to say?

Nephew is considering joining the military, possibly the Marines. I told him it’s a good choice to learn a skill, figure out what he wants to do and get a deal on college and a mortgage.

One question he’s asked is what does it feel like to get shot. I’m assuming a non-fatal, you stayed conscious event.
I also told him most in the military never get shot at.
Any serious, first hand replies appreciated. Feel free to PM if you like and I’ll forward.

Thanks, I told him I’d ask.

This is a major hit
Hopefully this time the psycho is extradited. Good catch SEMAR Marines!


He’s 10x worse than Chapo was on his worst day

Looks like his guys downed a Blackhawk in the process

where does the pmii land between the zco and nightforce? Considering putting one of these 3 on my AXSR. W/o considering reticles whats the better scope?
Thanks guys.

How can anyone survive in a car with every Officer mag dumping into the vehicle, sort of a downer that he did survive but its unbelievable to me. Wonder how many holes he eventually had in him.

American cities “have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime,” said Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who is a Democratic donor.

“I must say, in my view at the local, state and federal level, these governments across the country and leaders, mayors and governors, city councils have abdicated their responsibility in fighting crime and addressing mental health,” Schultz said in a video posted on Twitter.

Earlier in the week, Starbucks announced store closures in four Democrat-run states and the District of Columbia.

Breitbart News reported on the development:

The Starbucks Corporation announced … that it is closing 16 stores in the U.S. because of safety concerns for workers, including incidents of violence and drug use on the premises.
The coffee retailer will close permanently six stores in Seattle, Washington, and six more in the Los Angeles, California, region. Two stores will shutter in Portland, Oregon, and one store each in Philadelphia and Washington, DC.

Schultz spoke at an internal company gathering.


“We’re going to have to refine and transform and modernize many of the things we do to meet the needs of our customers in a very changing operating environment in which customer behavior is changing,” Schultz said.


Schultz said America is now “unsafe.”


“I don’t have to spend too much time on what’s going on in the country and how America has become unsafe,” Schultz said. “But you all read the press release last couple of days about the fact that we are beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable.”


“And then we heard the stories that go along with it about what happens in our bathrooms; the issue of mental illness, the issues of homelessness and the issues of crime,” Schultz said.


“Starbucks as a window into America, we have stores in every community and we are facing things in which the stores were not built for. And so we’re listening to our people and closing stores and this is just the beginning,” Schultz said.


“There are going to be many more,” he said.

But, but, but...their coffee sucks anyway.

Hillary Clinton joked to reporters Tuesday in Las Vegas about whether she "wiped" her email server clean before giving it to the FBI.
“What? Like with a cloth or something?” she asked, then laughed. “I don’t know how it works digitally at all.”

“The Department notified us that many U.S. Secret Service (USSS) text messages, from January 5 and 6, 2021 were erased as part of a device-replacement program,” Joseph V. Cuffari, head of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General.
