Ever see someone walking around the sporting clay range wearing flat soled shoes right after its rained? I certainly don’t want to be near them when they are shooting. And this is way worse. You see him take that little step back? He could have tripped and he still had his hand near the trigger at that point. He could have shot someone by accident.
If you are going to shoot wear the right equipment, and make sure it fits and is in good working order.
I don’t get why people get so upset over stuff like this. These guys put their lives on the line every day. Maybe cruising a little over the limit isn’t such a big deal?
And who knows how to handle a vehicle better at high speeds than a patrol officer?
Really, is this something to get up in arms about?
The questions I really want to know:
Episode 2, Strangers
Summary:
Strangers kicks off right where episode 1 left off with happy reunions in the woods and Rick making friends with Tara, telling her she is a member of the “team” now.
Shortly after, Tyreese and Carol also make their peace – closing out some open story points from last season. They also close the gap between Rick & Carol – so for now all is good inside the group.
So now Team Rick and Team Save The World are together, but the people escorting Dr. Eugene Porter don’t seem to be trust worthy. Sgt. Abraham Ford seems to just be biding his time for something – and I’m not sure its good for Team Rick.
During the first night in the woods something was stalking the camp – possibly Morgan – but the next morning Daryl doesn’t find any tracks. As Team Rick is moving through the woods they hear screaming and run to find a preacher surrounded by walkers as he is trying to keep them off him on top of a boulder. His name is Gabriel, and he thinks the word of God is all he needs. (Of course fan’s of Teen Wolf will recognize him as the vet, Dr. Deaton.)
Team Rick clears the church that Father Gabriel has been hold up in, but they all need food and supplies. The Father has eaten through the food drive supplies that had been feeding him since the apocalypse started. Father Gabriel has cleaned out the local houses/businesses, but there is one building left that he hasn’t been able to pick over because of the walkers. Rick is sure they can clean out the walkers there, and he doesn’t trust the Father enough to leave him behind – so he’s coming along.
Bob tries to convince Rick that they are going to have to go to Washington to get Dr. Porter where he needs to go, and maybe even trying to warn him that Sgt. Ford is going to try and get there no matter what.
Back at the church Carol & Daryl are “making up”. In town Glenn, Maggie, and Tara scrounge from a gun store and Glenn finds 3 silencers. Hopefully they have pistols/guns with threaded barrels or they are useless though.
At the store Team Rick goes down into the basement to get supplies only to find that Father Gabriel panics and puts everyone at risk when Team Rick has to go and rescue him. When they do get back to the church Carl shows Rick some creepy stuff he found on the side of the church. Knife marks by the window and “You”ll burn for this” scratched into the paint.
When we come back from commercial Sgt. Ford is toasting everyone as they eat from their newly found surprise, but it’s really just his opening to tell Team Rick that they really should get Eugene to Washington so they can use his knowledge to end the apocalypse. Judith votes to go to Washington and the rest of Team Rick agrees.
After they eat Bob wanders off, and I’m afraid he was bit. There is something strange and final about his kiss with Sasha.
Outside Carol & Daryl are checking on their backup ride when the car with the cross goes streaking buy. Daryl busts out the lights on their vehicle and kicks off a chase.
On the other side of the Church Bob has gone outside to cry – but is taken by the left overs from Terminus. They basically tell him they are sorry, but a man’s gotta eat – and they pan out to show that they’ve cut one of Bob’s legs off. And what the hell does – “You taste much better than we thought you would.” – mean? Does he look gamey? Or was that racist?
And clearly in the comic his happened to a different character:

I was lone wolfing it again this morning at the clay range. Both my normal shooting buddies had family stuff, so off I went by myself.
I decided to take it easy today and start on the beginner/intermediate course so i could build up my self esteem again after not doing as well as I wanted on the hard end of the course on my last outing.
It was windy and cold, which added a bit to even the “easy” stations, but it was a good day for me. I was busting clays left and right -at least until I got the the rabbit. The dreaded rabbit. Which of course made me think of Monty Python. As you can see, I couldn’t quite seem to get my timing down. So if the apocalypse does start, I really hope there are birds in the air because I am going to starve if the only things to eat are running rabbits.

To the guy who painted his dog for Halloween, you did an awesome job.
Wow, I’d only ever heard All About That Bass
On the flip side, it is a very catchy toon and actually has a good message. Be comfortable with your self and don’t worry about the haters.

So I touched the Hogue forend for the Remington 870 and really liked the way it gave just a little before your fingers bit into it. So I bought one and put it onto my tactical 870.
I immediately realized I had to cut a notch in it so that my side saddle wouldn’t obstruct its range of motion and things were good for a little while. If you look at the image below you can see that the stock 870 forend is actually a bit shorter than the Hogue forend. That L notch is actually what I cut away to give it clearance around my side saddle.
So I thought all was well. But every now and then I’d pump and there would be a hitch and things would bind up. What I realized is that the Hogue has just a bit too much play in it. No matter how much I tightened the forend nut I could never quite get rid of all the movement. And when I twisted it too much I’d lock up the slide just enough to restrict its full range of motion.
(Sorry for poor quality. This was actually not the video I wanted to post but my cameraman on my 2nd take forgot to hit record and I didn’t realize it until I’d already finished the swap.)
So back on went the stock forend and all should be well.
Wow, this little story blew my socks off. Coming Of Age, Episode 1: To Live & Love
I found it well written and it definitely got my heart pounding. If you are looking for something to increase your blood pressure, this is it.
I am looking forward to downloading the second episode tonight.

Come on, this guy should really know better. I’m assuming he’s in law enforcement, although I don’t have the back story of the pic. If anyone should know the 10 rules for safe gun handling it is this guy.
Right off the bat he failed on rule 1. Well, for his sake I hope the weapon was unloaded and no on was picking his colon off their glasses if this thing went off.
1. Always Keep The Muzzle Pointed In A Safe Direction
2. Firearms Should Be Unloaded When Not Actually In Use
3. Don’t Rely On Your Gun’s “Safety”
4. Be Sure Of Your Target And What’s Beyond It
5. Use Correct Ammunition
6. If Your Gun Fails To Fire When The Trigger Is Pulled, Handle With Care!
7. Always Wear Eye And Ear Protection When Shooting
8. Be Sure The Barrel Is Clear Of Obstructions Before Shooting
9. Don’t Alter Or Modify Your Gun, And Have Guns Serviced Regularly
10. Learn The Mechanical And Handling Characteristics Of The Firearm You Are Using
