For my police officer friends, do you get pissed off when someone groups all police officers together as “all cops are bad” because of the actions of a few that make the news?

For my friends of different cultures, do you get pissed off when someone stereotypes your entire culture because of the actions of a few that make the news?

For my friends who are Christians, Muslims, and Jews, do you get pissed off when someone makes a comment that engulfs your entire belief system because of the actions of a few that make the news?

THEN STOP DOING THAT TO OUR EDUCATORS.

Several years ago, Slo Joe Biden told us to “Buy a shotgun.”  Because no one needs an AR-15 with 30 round magazines for home defense.  His reasoning was, the shotgun is easier to aim and easier to shoot.  And a blast from a shotgun will send anyone running.

Out of all the idiocy this moron has let loose from his rattled brain, this is one I agree with.  I described HERE why my choice for a home defense weapon is a shotgun.

But I wanted to blow up his idiotic math.

This is the projectile, generally used in an AR 15 rile. The weight of the projectile is, on average, about 65 grains, or .15 ounces. (They range from 40 gr to 80 grains.). They are .223 inches across the base.

During general operation of an AR 15 Sporting Rifle, one trigger pull will fire one projectile. This is a very high speed round, generally leaving the muzzle at about 3200 feet per second.

The average shooter can dump the 30 rounds on a properly functioning AR 15 in less than 3 seconds.  Of course, accuracy will decrease with the speed of the trigger pull.

This is a photograph of #4 buckshot.

Each pellet is .24 inches in cross section. They weigh approximately 21 grains or .05 ounces each. Substantially lighter. There are 16 (depending on manufactuerer) in each 12 gauge round. They generally leave the muzzle at about 1250 – 1450 feet per second. Substantially slower than the .223 round.

During the operation of a 12 gauge shotgun, the most popular sized magazine of 5 rounds, one trigger pull propels 16 projectiles. With a semi-automatic shotgun, a shooter can dump all 5 rounds in about 2 seconds. Just like with the AR 15, accuracy will decrease with the increased speed of the trigger pull.

So doing the math… an AR 15 with an average shooter, can put 30 rounds downrange in about 3 seconds. A semi-automatic 12 gauge with an average shooter can put 80 rounds downrange in about 2 seconds.

So yeah Pedo Joe… I do have a shotgun for home defense. And an AR 15 because I want one, to protect my Constitutional Rights as guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment. So fuck off you dim witted moron.

I have been carrying a firearm. personally and professionally for over 40 years. 

Let’s lay down a little ground work.  Police officers.  Police officers do not carry a firearm for YOUR protection.  They carry a firearm for self defense.  SELF DEFENSE.  Not defense of anyone else.  IF they decide to employ that firearm in defense of someone else, it is a personal decision, made by them, and made in the moment.  Neither right or wrong.  But a personal decision none the less.

When my wife and I discuss carrying our firearms, we frequently “war game”.  We discuss scenarios.  Current situations and what we would do.  And we do this frequently.  Our number one discussion point that we make sure we’re both aware of is we carry firearms for SELF DEFENSE.  Defense of ourselves and each other.  Our family.  We don’t carry one to protect you.  We don’t carry firearms to protect businesses.  We don’t carry firearms for any other reason than for us, our family, to be able to go home.

This is absolutely where I part ways with Kyle Rittenhouse.  Mr. Rittenhouse should have never put himself in that position.  In doing so, in spite of the complete acquittal, he has opened himself up to many years (yes, years) of civil litigation by injecting himself into a situation where he employed deadly force.  Successfully.  Yes, it was self defense.  But he still injected himself into a situation where it was someone else’s fight.  If he was protecting his personal of family property he should have stayed on that property and only engaged on that property.  My opinion.  your approval or agreement is neither sought nor required.

Never inject yourself into someone else’s fight.  Never inject yourself into someone else’s fight.  OUR rule.  You do you.  But be prepared for the consequences and understand they can be long, drawn out and expensive.

 

My disdain for Jake Fromm from the Georgia Bulldogs stems from the show Beyond The Lights where he was featured.

Fromm’s mother, is a meddling nannyhoot of a mother who thought her son was her ticket to untold millions in the NFL and stuck her nose so far up Kirby Smart’s ass, colonoscopies became optional.

Where is Jake Fromm now?

Making 160K a year as a tackling dummy for the Buffalo Bills practice squad after they wasted a 5th round, 167th over all draft pick on this pansy ass momma’s boy.

Where is Justin Fields? You know. The guy that left Georgia after Kirby Smart put Fromm in the starting position?

Justin Fields signed a 4 year, $18,871,957 contract with the Chicago Bears, including a $11,085,060 signing bonus, $18,871,957 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $4,717,989.

How’s that working out for you Mrs. Fromm?
