Another front has come through
and the couple of nice days are back to mid-February cold. Here's some data to keep your attention off it.
Dear Crimson Trace:
I used your 'contact us' form with a warranty question, and waited a week.
Just in case of a glitch, I tried again. I also went to your Facebook page at some point and sent the question. Waited about a week.
This morning I used the 'customer service' e-mail address.
At this point I have received nothing. Not a "No, it's out of warranty for that", not "Yes, it is covered, we'll take care of it", not even a "Screw you, stop bothering us."
I've been real happy with the Lasergrip in question, but my opinion of your company is on a downward slope.
Sincerely, etc.

Some quick gun impressions
Springfield: don't care for the grip, and really don't like that grip safety(you can't cycle the slide unless it's depressed? Really?)
Glock 42: 19 left out in the rain to shrink
Glock 43: 19 they put in the dryer sooner.
S&W Bodyguard: Someone wanted to make a Ruger LCP even less comfortable.
Springfield Saint: "We have a new AR! Pretty furniture!"
Beretta Storm carbine: When you want a 9mm long gun that looks like a movie prop.
H&K VP9: they may hate you, but it does feel good in the hand. And I like the mag release.
S&W M&P 2.0: now you've got it.
S&W Victory: you really need to tell the assembly people to put the threadlocker in the right place.
Sig 320: not bad at all.
Walther P22: still waiting for the front of the slide to fall off(like one a customer had), but it's still going.

There need to be firings, prosections,
and some hangings wouldn't be amiss.
Throw this in with all the rest, and yeah, hangings fit. This is a bunch of high-ranking officials at the EffingBI and Dept. of 'Justice' attempting to remove a President for personal and political reasons. Violations of law, violations of ethics.
And I'm not forgetting all the field agents who were involved in this crap. Some may have been reluctant, but others were not. And they all did what they were told. Very Special Agents, indeed.
I've said it before, I'll say it again: do these idiots not realize the damage they've done to this country, or do they just not care? Nobody with a brain is going to trust these agencies for years to come, if ever; and that 'ever' includes 'Unless these agencies get a serious cleaning out, including firings and prosecutions, why WOULD anybody trust them?'

Want further evidence of how effing crooked the Evil Party is?
And how spineless a bunch of the Stupid Party is?
“This is a bill that will expand criminal background checks to close the gun show loophole and close the Internet sale loophole,” Democrat Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries said of the bill.
With the support of five committee Republicans and after nine hours of debate, the bill passed 21 to 14. Republicans on the Committee attempted to amend the bill.
There never has been a gun show loophole.
There never has been a internet sale loophole.
And these bastards know it.
Those chickenshit Stupid Party members need to be primaried. Or just thrown out a high window.
And if the Evil Party actually cared about crime control and public safety, they would not have killed this amendment:
Democrats, however, voted down one such amendment that would notify ICE authorities when an illegal alien fails a background check to purchase a firearm.
Got that? YOU check a wrong box or spell something incorrectly, they want you in prison; but an illegal alien trying to illegally buy a gun? "Oh no, we don't want that reported!"
That helicopter solution is sounding better and better.

This is worse than fake news, this is flat-out lying
The Daily Beast on Wednesday falsely attributed quotes to the El Paso district attorney, even though no one from the DA's office had communicated with them, according to a spokeswoman from the office.
Response of these clowns when called on this? Change the headline a bit and add
"This article has been updated regarding information from the District Attorney's office regarding the status on possible charges."

And they wonder why people don't trust them.

City case, but it's still good
Hamilton County Judge Robert Ruehlman sided Monday with gun owners’ groups that sought to overturn a city of Cincinnati ordinance banning bump stocks, a type of gun attachment that can allow a semi-automatic
firearm to be fired at nearly the rate of a fully automatic weapon.

'Universal Background Checks' equals registration
Because they desperately want lists to use.
'Seemingly open'? They drool and have wet dreams at the idea.
Richmond, though, says he does not think Democrats in Congress are ready to move legislation to support a federal firearms registry right now.
Take careful note of that 'right now'. Tells you what they want. Desperately.

History is messy, and it has to be taught honestly, warts and all;
teachers who only 'teach' a version tailored to what they want people to believe are a threat.
...Smith went one step further, likening the ugly truth of history to a “mangy, snarling dog standing between you and a crowd-pleasing narrative.”
“Obviously,” Smith said, “the story should be, needs to be, that the enslaved black people and soon-to-be-exiled red people would join forces and defeat their oppressor.” But such was not the case—far from it. “The Five Civilized Tribes were deeply committed to slavery, established their own racialized black codes, immediately reestablished slavery when they arrived in Indian territory, rebuilt their nations with slave labor, crushed slave rebellions, and enthusiastically sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War.”
In other words, the truth is about as far a cry from a “crowd-pleasing narrative” as you could possibly get. “Do you want to hear that?” Smith asked the audience. “I don’t think so. Nobody does.” And yet, Smith is firm in his belief that it is a museum’s duty to embrace and elucidate ambiguity, not sweep it under the rug in the pursuit of some cleaner fiction.
Far too many people prefer the cleaner fiction to the facts. And they don't care what damage said fiction does.

Among the reasons more people are homeschooling
are asshats like these.
Shortly after President Trump’s inauguration, a group of public school history teachers in the posh Boston suburb of Newton pledged to reject the “call for objectivity” in the classroom, bully conservative students for their beliefs, and serve as “liberal propagandist[s]” for the cause of social justice.
...
Ibokette was having none of it. He typed this reply: “I am concerned that the call for ‘objectivity’ may just inadvertently become the most effective destructive weapon against social justice,” and sent it to the members of Newton North’s history department.
Ibokette was responding to an email from another Newton North history teacher, David Bedar. Bedar was same teacher who hosted the anti-Semites at Newton North, and has played a significant role in the years-long controversy over anti-Jewish bias in the public schools of the heavily Jewish suburb.
Any takers on a bet that they think homeschoolers are racists and so forth?

Scene from the range
Found out that the S&W .380EZ on the rental rack had been taken to the gunsmith for some work(not sure what, too busy to find out).
We got the thing six or eight months ago, as I recall. While that doesn't sound like very long, that thing has been rented a LOT. And every time it's had one box of ammo put through it, sometimes more; it's been fired more in those months than an average user would in, oh, probably ten years(considering the usual practice rate you hear about for pistols of the sort, probably more. A lot more.) And this is the first problem it's had.
And most of the people who shot it really liked it, especially older ladies who have arthritis or other problems that limit how well they can work a slide. Being bigger than most .380 pocket pistols doesn't hurt, either: more to hold on to.
No, .380 isn't an ideal self-defense cartridge, but as has been said, it beats hell out of nothing. It in a firearm someone has no trouble handling, that's worth a lot.

I want to go shooting
at the outdoor range. But it's chilly, and wet, and I really don't want to be out in that for a few hours(which would include wet feet from walking to & from the target stands). So I think I'll spend some time today, once I can get myself to actually do something, loading some of the ammo I'm short of.
Weekend at the range was busy. REAL busy most of the time. I wonder if the clowns in DC pushing their latest 'disarm the peasants' bill have any idea how much business jumps every time they start spouting their crap?

Virginia isn't having a clown show; clowns
can keep their mouth shut. This is a first-class shitstorm:
“We are now at the 400-year anniversary — just 90 miles from here in 1619. The first indentured servants from Africa landed on our shores in Old Point Comfort, what we call now Fort Monroe, and while—,” Northam said, before King cut him off.
“Also known as slavery,” King said.
“Yes,” Northam responded.
He called slaves 'indentured servants'.* In an interview. On top of all the other crap he's said.
The Democrat Governor of Virginia, folks.
Now let's add in they were hoping he'd go away and let the Democrat Lt. Gov. take over, right up until the Lt. was accused- by multiple women now- of rape. Ok, so the Attorney General is next in line. Except he's confessed to playing with blackface, like the Governor. And at least one Democrat has admitted they won't push him to resign, because if those three all go the next in line to be Governor is a Republican. Better the good Democrats with a past of blackface and sexual assault than that!
*Yes, some 'indentured servants' were no more than slaves under a different name; doesn't change how effing stupid this was.

Why so many people have come to distrust, despise, and sometimes flat out hate cops
A: These two sorry excuses for peace officers did this.
B: Wheatcroft and Chapman were charged with resisting arrest and assaulting an officer—Chapman evidently hit one of the officers in the head with a bag during the confusion—and spent months behind bars because they could not afford bail. Chapman eventually plead guilty to a lesser charge in order to get of jail and reclaim her children.
C: The Glendale police gave Schneider a mere three-day suspension: In a statement, the department neglected to mention the use of the taser on the groin, noting only that "a review of the officers' actions has been performed and discipline implemented regarding certain tactics used by one officer."
And there's no mention of any punishment for Lindsey. For some reason.
Throw in that something like this doesn't just happen: they did this because they figured they would get away with it. What does that tell you about Glendale PD?
And I'll bet the chief likes to bitch and whine about people not supporting these asshats.

Scene from the range
"We don't have any rifle lanes right you, there's a waiting list."
"We'll just shoot pistols. When a rifle lane opens up, will you hold it for us?"
"Can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because I can't hold a lane for you while you're shooting when someone else is waiting for one already."
"We'll come right out."
"Cannot do that."
"Why not?"
Through mind runs 'Because we're busy, people are waiting, you want me to not only hold a lane for you but LEAVE THE COUNTER AND GO GET YOU AND SCREW THE OTHER PEOPLE?'
I didn't, but I have never been closer to saying "BECAUSE I BLOODY SAID SO."
These are the same type people who come in with three people and state "We need three lanes" and get pissy when you tell them they can't have them. Apparently "Because A: there aren't that many lanes free in the same bay and B: when it's this busy I can't give a group your size multiple lanes" cannot penetrate the shell of "I want it!" in their heads.

And Switzerland pokes the EU in the eye
whether some of their .gov likes it or not.
According to Swissinfo.ch, the Campaign for an Independent and Neutral Switzerland and the Swiss gun lobbyists mounted the opposition ahead of Parliament’s vote and said they would launch a referendum. According to a Swiss resident on ar15.com, they only had 100 days to get 50,000 verified signatures. Since that time, they were able to collect 125,000 signatures. The referendum vote will take place in May, the same month that compliance with the Schengen Treaty is required.
From some .gov clowns:
Lawmakers had warned that failure to comply could lead to a dispute with the EU.
Guy, that's the whole idea.

I am going to have to get a new bullet mold
I like the .41 Magnum. Sometimes full-power loads are a bit much, so good cast-bullet load should be the thing. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a large selection of molds in that size.
Further research will be required.
Further research will be required.
Having had a chance to shoot a M1 Carbine again,
I still think they're a fine light rifle. The ones I've fired have been reliable, and while they're never going to make a match rifle, they're very much minute-of-goblin accurate at the ranges it was made for.
On the reliability side, ran across this a while back that covers much of that
The reliability seems to boil down to 'change the recoil spring and use good magazines'.

Cold Friday nights
are a good time to stay in and do something constructive, like go over new information
That socialist barkeep gift that keeps on giving, and giving...
In this case, her 'Green New Deal', which includes things like
1. "Upgrade or replace every building in US for state-of-the-art energy efficiency."
Yeah. EVERY building.
2. "Totally overhaul transportation by massively expanding electric vehicle manufacturing, build charging stations everywhere, build out high- speed rail at a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary, create affordable public transit available to all, with goal to replace every combustion-engine vehicle."
Socialists really love trains, don't they? Considering how Californicated has already overspent by billions on a still-not-working high-speed choo-choo(that isn't that fast anyway), you'd think the message of trying to do this nationwide would get through, but nooo.....
And it just goes on. It was so wonderful that her staff yanked the FAQ page. Happily, The Internets Being Forever, you can see it here. For a little more of the display of genius in this document,
Yes, we are calling for a full transition off fossil fuels and zero greenhouse gases. Anyone who has read the resolution sees that we spell this out through a plan that calls for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions from every sector of the economy.
These people may not be just stupid, they may actually be demented. NO fossil fuels and ZERO greenhouse gas emissions? Not possible. Period. That these idiots not only think it is, but that they can do it in ten years?
And this is just freakin' gold:
We set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast, but we think we can ramp up renewable manufacturing and power production, retrofit every building in America, build the smart grid, overhaul transportation and agriculture, plant lots of trees and restore our ecosystem to get to net-zero.
You may need to read that a couple of times to get the full effect, it's that amazing. In ten years.
Throw in this:
The same way we paid for the New Deal, the 2008 bank bailout and extended quantitative easing programs.
Isn't that just so freaking cute, she thinks we've paid for those things.
One more bit of this:
Economic security for all who are unable or unwilling to work
"You don't want to work? That's ok, we'll pay your bills anyway."
Actually actively stupid.

Interesting guy, who'll talk about just about anything. There's a lot of MHI in the future, and more Grimnoir, and some more short story collections.
Looking forward to them.

"You can trust the FBI, and Mueller is a saint!"
Yeah. Right.
Robert Mueller, the former FBI director and current special prosecutor in the Russia case, once was hauled before the nation’s secret intelligence court to address a large number of instances in which the FBI cheated on sensitive surveillance warrants, according to evidence gathered by congressional investigators.
...
The episode is taking on new significance as Mueller moves into the final stages of his Russia probe while evidence mounts that the FBI work preceding his appointment as special prosecutor may have involved improprieties in the securing of a FISA warrant to spy on Donald Trump’s campaign in the final weeks of the 2016 campaign.
...
Anderson’s testimony isn’t just for the history books. It has as much relevance today as when the judges first became upset with the FBI.
That’s because we now know the FBI, in 2016, omitted significant information from the application for the FISA warrant that allowed it to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in hopes of finding evidence of collusion between Russia and the GOP presidential nominee’s campaign.

"Why do you have a problem with registering your guns?"
Added to everything else, crap like this:
The Buffalo News reports that Andrew Ciepiela, 46, recently tried to register an old Iver Johnson revolver that has been handed down through three generations. That’s when the Erie County Pistol Permit Department told him the gun, made in 1917, was last registered in the 1950s by a sexagenarian and, as a “nuisance” firearm, it could not be registered to him, clearing the way for local police to destroy it.
Screw these people, screw their permits, and screw every moron who wants your property on a list.

Well, hell, no wonder all those Democrats were wearing white last night,
they're showing solidarity with the Democrats of Virginia.
Seriously, Virginia? This is what you elected?
Cap that with the speech last night. I didn't watch it(I almost never watch political speeches), but from the reaction of the leftists it was apparently one serious barn-burner of a talk.

“It’s necessary for us to radically transform the way that educators
view their role in education. We are, again, preparing educators to see their classrooms as sites for civil resistance,” Wood said in 2017.
And if you have a problem with this, they'll call you anti-intellectual, and racist, and whatever club they can think of to beat you with.

Now we have people who need safe spaces and crayons because they heard a discouraging word.
Not Catholic, but I have something to say about this
Nuns have suffered and are still suffering sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic priests and bishops, and even being held as sexual slaves, Pope Francis confirmed on Tuesday. The abuse was so severe in one case that an entire congregation of nuns was dissolved by former Pope Benedict.
The scope of the abuse of nuns by clergy members first came to light with the publication at the beginning of February of the monthly magazine "Women Church World." The edition included Francis' own take on the scandal -- long known about by the Vatican but virtually never discussed -- in which he blamed the unchecked power wielded by priests and higher clergy across the Catholic Church for such crimes.
Here's the thing, Francis: if their power is unchecked it's because YOU'RE NOT DOING YOUR JOB, YOU BASTARD.
That every one involved in this hasn't been defrocked and, where possible, handed to the civil authorities for prosecution is ON YOUR HEAD.
Maybe if you weren't so busy playing The Holy Socialist On Climate Change and such, you'd find some time to deal with this.
You suck, you're a failure, and you need to either get off your ass and go through your Church like Jesus went through the temple, or resign and go off into obscurity to do something to try and make up for/to the people you've failed.

"Screw education, we have indoctrination to do!"
Because actually teaching students to think is not a good thing in 'higher' education. And the PC-brained socialists will try to destroy a teacher so he can't do it somewhere else, either.
Comrade Mayor: "Nobody needs a gun(unless they give me sufficient money and support)!"
Dean’s supervisor in the unit allegedly told him, “This person takes care of Mayor de Blasio and in return we are supposed to take care of this person,” Dean’s attorney wrote.
Sources identified the businesswoman as Gayle, a longtime donor to de Blasio who served on his 2014 inauguration team. She is currently on the board of advisers to the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City.
It is unclear if Gayle’s alleged role in arranging the upgrades was improper. A spokesman for Manhattan Federal prosecutors declined comment. Gayle did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
'unclear'... How the HELL is it 'unclear'?

I'll disagree with Mr. Burrell, I doubt it's racism:
I'm pretty sure it's a sorry excuse for a peace officer who's gotten away with a lot of crap before who thinks "I gave you an order, peasant, how dare you not obey me!"
One reason I think so:
Police have not identified the officer involved, but his nameplate in the video reads "D. McLaughlin." The Chronicle reports that a David McLaughlin was hired by the police department in 2014. That same year, according to the Bay City News, McLaughlin was accused in a civil suit of searching a man's car without cause, then falsifying a police report when nothing illegal was found. The plaintiff eventually died, and the case was dismissed.
An illegal search ANY lying on a report. He should've been fired for that, but he got away with it. And God knows what other crap he's probably pulled since.
Once read the line "Most cops are not racist, they don't really care about your skin color, they care that you don't wear blue." Unfortunately, that's often the case.
And when they get away with it, the next big problem is set up.

The EUnuchs must be having fits about this

Quoted from the announcement: “The strategic goal of the project is to rebuild shooting skills.”
Well done, Poland.
