Things Have Changed

Not really about baseball. 

If these two situations happened today I don't think they would play out the same way.

Murdered DA Had Put His Guns Away

Slain Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland kept a gun "in every room of his house" but couldn't reach one when his killer or killers came into his home Easter weekend because he had put the weapons away just hours before to protect visitors, his son said in an interview published Tuesday.

"They had a party the night before and he gathered up all his guns and put them away in a bag so that his guests didn't stumble across them," J.R. McLelland told The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/XpEqok ).

This guy, who was normally prepared, let his guard down and paid for it. This is weeks after one of his prosecutors was gunned down.  If you don't want guns all over your house, carry one.

Texas Gun Talk Shoot

I got up this morning and headed 2 hours south with my wife, son, and father-in-law to meet up with 39 other folks from TGT for a shoot we recently started doing twice a year. It gets better every time. Last time I drug an old car of mine there so we had to step it up this time. Here is a video of my son shooting the Caddy with my AK. 

One of the guys build a tough camera box so he could catch the action up close. Here is 20 lbs of tannerite just sitting on the trunk.

You'll want to watch this one until after the smoke clears. It's 40 lbs of tannerite just inside the driver's door shot with a .50 BMG. 

Here is a link to more pictures and videos. BTW, you don't have to be in Texas to join.

Sue Me

I got a new job... been busy. 

I'll have some videos to post Sunday though. Going to a big shoot where we plan on blowing up a Cadillac. Should be more fun than my MG that we destroyed last time.

Obama Rated Fifth Best President Ever

I was just reading a Democratic publicity release that said, "After a little more than 4 years, Obama has been rated the 5th best president ever."

The details according to White House Publicists:

1. Reagan, Lincoln, and 8 others tied for first,
2. 15 presidents tied for second,
3. 17 other presidents tied for third,
4. Jimmy Carter came in 4th, and
5. Obama came in fifth
