How many of you consider yourselves good with your handgun, be it revolver or automatic? Most of my shooting readers do, I'm sure.
How many of you are good with either hand to the point that you're comfortable carrying your handgun in a holster on either side?
Uh-oh.
I was lucky enough to break both of my hands 3 months apart as a youngster, plus I have a right handed pops who's partially blind in his right eye. Because of that, I can shoot a handgun equally well with either hand without even thinking about it. A rifle, not so well. But I'm working on it.
My point being is this: what do you do when you cop a round in your shooting arm, your husband or wife is depending on you and you don't know where your babies are?
Fuck, people. Spend a few extra bucks and practice drawing from, switching to and shooting from your off hand.
It's worth the expense.

Ya done good, Cliff.
Getting back to the motherfucker that protested the Grady NM Coyote Hunt:
He may be the best thing that ever happened to that school. I've gotten that link from people all over the country and I'm thinking I'm not the only one.
Me and Woody are kinda sorta tossing around the idea of making next years' shoot and if we can't make it we'll send a fucking check and I don't think we're alone here.
I bet Gradys' schools are gonna score big over this.
I can see it now:
Me and Woody roll into town but can't find a parking spot because people from all over the western US had the same idea. We got coyote hunters, we got outfitters and professional guides, we got deer hunters that want to learn to coyote hunt, we got folks that are there for the carnival that set up on the outskirts of town. We got folks that are there for the town-wide garage sale, folks that are there for the hotcake and burrito breakfast, we got folks that are there to get laid.
But best of all, we got a half dozen PETAphiles that are quivering in fear in a corner of the school parking lot trying to build up courage to throw paint on somebody.

Me and Mama
So Saturday morning I called and asked if she wanted to drive out to the BassPro with me and do a little shopping. She was more excited than I had hoped - she loves that place as much as I do.
I bought her a nice heavy sweater, some winter wool socks and some ammo, then got myself a winter hunting parka (Friday night was a bitch) and then I saw some coyote piss in a can.
Had to have it......
Then we went to Piggy Paradise (thanks, Woody) and scored her a nice marinated pork loin and bacon, then headed to the liquor store for her favorite wine.
It was a nice day. Me and Mama got to spend some time together, she got some stuff just for her and I got some piss in a can.
And what did I do with the Coyote piss? I hit every fencepost, tree and structure in my backyard with it. CharlieGodammit has been going fucking nuts for the past 2 days. He cannot drink enough water......
NM school's coyote hunting fundraiser protested
Cliff Sagnotty, who moved to Grady, NM (pop. 98) from Des Moines, IA this summer, said he is shocked by the local high school girls athletic department's sponsorship of a coyote-hunting contest Nov. 26-27 to raise funds for uniforms and equipment. "That is stepping outside the boundaries of what I think a school should be doing for the community," he told the Albuquerque Journal. "And it's also teaching students just to kill."
-Clovis News Journal.
Steve, who sent this to me remarked "Leave it an outsider to start trouble."
Ain't that the truth, Steve.
Now if I might add a couple of comments of my own.....
First of all Cliffy, you now live in a town of 98. Chances are, 96 of those residents now despise you and that's if you're wife isn't a hunter. If she is, the count went up to 97. You see, hunting is pretty much a way of life in any rural American town but especially out west. There are towns out here that shut down their schools on the opening day of deer season because they know nobody's going to show up anyways.
And the hunt was a fundraiser for athletic uniforms and equipment. Again, you live in a town of 98. Your options for raising bucks is extremely limited here. Bake sales are not an option. If everybody in town bought 2 cupcakes at a buck apiece, you're only up a couple of hundred bucks. Car wash? Naw, unless it's a nekkid carwash.
A coyote hunt brings in entry fees, probably quite a few outside hunters (which also brings revenue into the town), and pelts that can be tanned and sold to add to the athetic fund. And I can just about bet you that the hunt probably doesn't even make a dent in the local coyote population.
And finally: Just go back to where you came from. You remind me of the folks that move out of town for some country living and then complain about the noise and smells coming from your neighbors' farm.

Somebody deserves to get coyote bit
Obviously a semi-tame coyote, probably used to getting handouts.
But this guy's fucking around with this coyote, forgetting that it is a wild animal and very capable of doing some real damage if provoked.

Once again, Hillary proves what an ass she is.
WASHINGTON (AFP) – US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Sunday renewed her backing to try "war on terror" suspects in civilian courts, but refused to be drawn on the fate of the alleged September 11 mastermind.
The Obama administration was dealt a severe blow last week when a New York jury cleared Tanzanian Ahmed Ghailani of all but one of 286 charges brought against him for the 1998 embassy bombings in Africa.
Ghailani, 36, the first ex-Guantanamo Bay inmate to be tried in a civilian court, will still serve at least 20 years in jail and could be sentenced to life imprisonment, after being found guilty of conspiracy against US property.
But the case thrust into the spotlight the difficulties of trying Guantanamo Bay inmates in civilian courts, amid concerns that evidence against them is tainted or extracted under duress during secret CIA renditions.
Clinton told CBS the US administration did not need to rethink the strategy of trying to bring terror suspects into the civilian courts.
"The terrorists who are serving time in our maximum security prisons are there because civilian courts... have a much better record of trying and convicting terrorists than military commissions do," she said.
"And in fact this defendant having been convicted will be sentenced somewhere between 20 years and life."
A sentence of between 20 years and life is a just sentence for being the mastermind of an act of terror that killed more than 200 people?
Are you fucking stupid?
And let's not forget that because he was tried in a civilian court he'll also be eligible for parole in a few years.

Report: Napolitano considering Hamas-linked CAIR's demands for Muslim women in airports, including the "self-pat-down"
The Department of Homeland Security needs to clarify its position here without delay. CAIR advised Muslim women in the press release quoted here that:
"Instead of the pat-down, you can always request to pat down your own scarf, including head and neck area"...
Two facts should be self-evident to demonstrate how outrageous this idea is. First, the whole point of being searched by someone else is to find concealed objects. A "self-pat-down" clearly defeats that purpose and is a completely unacceptable lapse in security. Let's remember the stakes here: if something goes wrong in air security in the wrong place at the wrong time, people die. There is enough margin for error in the system already without adding this variable.
Secondly, the fact that Napolitano could even be considering such a measure highlights a double standard for special treatment that would not be considered for any other religious group, but is extended to Muslims without a second thought. What is going on here is a politically correct sort of anti-profiling: by all appearances, the air security apparatus bends over backwards to profile Muslims as not being a threat, in a way that it does not strive to reassure other demographic groups in the traveling public.
We are told time and again that Muslims in America just want to be treated like everyone else. Ergo, if you want equal treatment as a Muslim woman, participate in your social responsibilities equally even when it is awkward or inconvenient, rather than acting like some kind of demigoddess whose head and neck are untouchable by sullied human hands in the screening line. Your head and neck are as human as that of the next non-Muslim lady in line who is no more thrilled to be there than you are.
But let's remember why we're standing there waiting with our shoes in a plastic bin, and why so many security procedures have come into being in the first place: Islamic jihadists keep trying to bring down our planes, more and more with explosives concealed on their bodies.

If you touch my junk.......
Check out how matter-of-factly this asshole speaks when he's talking about destroying your civil liberties.
This really frosts my ass.....
Gotta tell you something, Janet.
You have imposed such restrictive rules for airline travel that I will never fly again.
It was easy enough to implement the Israeli policies (which are highly successful) of screening but you chose to ignore it. Let's subject Americans to humiliating searches.
What really sucks is that muslims are exempt from these searches (even though members of their "peace loving" religion are responsible for this shit) due to the tenants of their religion.
You motherfuckers caused this shit and yet you have the balls to complain......
And our HS chief bows down........
Fuck you Obama, Janet, TSA, and the rest of you chickenshit motherfuckers.

FUCK YOU OBAMA AND YOUR PIG FUCKING BUDDY MOHAMMAD!!!!!
Where's my Fatwa, ya li'l bitch?
C'mon, you ain't skeered of a gun-totin' coyote hunter now, are ya?
Gotta tell you, Achmed. There's a shitload of us Good Ol' Boys (and Girls) out there that feel the same way.

The elephant in the room
A few days ago, a good friend of mine got hauled upstairs for making a remark that he had to load trucks "between two white guys". Okay, if you knew Curtis the way that we all in the room knew, you'd have laughed too. I mean, it was funny.
It was a fucking joke, but the boss in the office (Fat John) decided that it was a way to be kiss some ass on the warehouse manager and went upstairs to report him.
What a fucking suckass.
To Toms' (the manager) credit, he down played it and just told Curtis to be cool around Fat John.
Today, I noticed that somebody had stolen a roll of shrinkwrap off my towmotor and reported to Fat John that a person of unknown race stole my wrap.
Seeing as 85% of the people at my warehouse are hispanic and fully 30% are illegal, I doubted he would report me.
It might have something to do that he is hispanic.......

Crash and burn? I hope not....
You know, there's a lot of things that we promise ourselves that we never do, but one of my biggest regrets in life is that I never learned to fly.
Sonofabitch, it seemed like something so easy to do. I mean, there are kids that were to young to drive cars but they have their pilots' license.
Right about the time I decided to learn to fly, all the schools here in the valley shut down due to the recession.
Them that know me call this Lane Luck.
Now I would be content to be at the controls of a plane for a few minutes. I mean, I can crash a plane without any training whatsoever, but to actually control an aircraft?
Some day......

Postings
Okay, check this shit out.
I'm working some overtime and lately I've been watching a coyote family mousing a cornfield on my way home. My ex brother-in-law is threatening to shoot me, an old sweetie is trying to contact me and I got 2 calls to hunt coyotes tonight.
As you might tell, things are a bit hectic at the moment.
I've got to check Wile E and family tomorrow night after I get off. I also need to call Mark and tell him to fuck off, call the ex (there's a reason she's an ex) and tell her the same thing and call Tom and Jorge to set up a meeting.
I'll post more shit Saturday.

Site hits
I'm sorry but I gotta share this. I think it funnier than hell.
Lately I've been tracking hits to my site (quit tripping) so I can see where my visitors are from and what attracts them to my literary masterpiece. Seriously, it's to make your visit more enjoyable.
If it's a stateside hit, I get a town and state and a referral, usually Google with search words ranging from Dogs to babes to White Trash - generally what you'd expect from my caliber of readers. And a huge amount of you are return readers. This is good for me. I go no further, this is all I want to know.
For an overseas hit, I get the same info but I dig a little deeper.
I've found that I get a shitload of hits from all over the mid and near east. This gets my curiosity up. Is this because of my "Fuck Mohammad" remarks? Am I finally getting a fatwa that I feel I truly deserve? Is some mad arab gonna look me up to behead me and try to buttfuck Charliegodammit?
Naw.
Invariably the search word or entry page is "Camel-toe" (From an arab? Imagine that!), there's a lengthy stay on the site and it ALWAYS is about the Babes, Skanks or Camel-toe categories.
So much for the "devout" muslim.
Maybe I should add a goat child category. My muslim hits will skyrocket. Maybe Obama bin Laden himself will comment.
Fuck, I'm gonna run with this. I hit a fair amount of livestock auctions and I do see some fairly sexy (to Achmed and the Boys) goats and sheep now and again.

My hero
Elmer Keith - Cowboy, Guide, Big game hunter, Expert marksman, Designer of the 357, 41 and 44 magnums, and Godfather of modern reloading.
I cannot say enough about what this man contributed to the world of shooting and firearms. If you want to read his story in his words, find a copy of "Hell, I Was There" and Sixguns".
If there was one man that I could fashion my life after it would be Mr. Keith with Col. Jeff Cooper (USMC Ret.) running a very close second.
Both are deceased now but their legends will live on.
