Omnibus Stupid MFers in the news thread (Part 2)

The laws of Tombstone at the time required visitors, upon entering town to disarm, either at a hotel or a lawman’s office. (Residents of many famed cattle towns, such as Dodge City, Abilene, and Deadwood, had similar restrictions.)

Oh, sure. Next you’ll tell us gunfights were illegal, too.

Not when McCoy, Spock and Kirk were there (poor Chekov)

Only one way to solve that, on… GARBAGE DAY!

But, Billy Claiborne survived the shootout!

We have a guy who walks through Sandy, Oregon, two six-shooters on his hips, and at least a couple other guns on him, wears a top hat and western garb. Not sure what could scare him in Sandy, but he’s one of the reasons I have my carry gun with me.

Darn Melkotians

Andrew Tate has been accused of being “transgender.” I pit him and the idiots using it as an insult, but I do like the bastards turning on each other. Just wish it was out of a sense of decency or something like that, not this hateful crap.

It’s Kirk! He thinks he’s a genius on 400 year old history. He didn’t get anything right! It’s like everything he learned about the OK Corral was from a damaged VHS copy of a 70s Saturday Morning cartoon.

But damn if those weird sets aren’t the coolest thing!

Speaking of defacing things, even trees don’t get a bread

That’s a shame, who doesn’t enjoy a good oak loaf.

Three German tourists face possible financial penalties after being accused of defacing property at Joshua Tree National Park in California.

Park authorities accused the trio of firing paintballs at signs, bathrooms and dumpsters throughout the park.

I’m going to predict that they’re somewhat young.

No way to know for sure, of course, but if the guy is used to carrying all the time it might not even occur to him to take the thing off; it’s just a normal part of his ensemble.

Oh good grief, I thought I checked everything.

Apparently knot.

Signs, bathrooms, and dumpsters? So, they were branching out?

Don’t leaf those puns around here.

We were eating in the diner adjacent to our motel in a small city in southern Oklahoma as one of the patrons went up to pay his check. We were sitting somewhat close to the register, so I had a really good view of the pistol on his hip. Which was all well and good – Oklahoma, after all – but then he started bantering with the other patrons, saying things like how he missed the voices in his head that used to keep him company and other self-deprecating wisecracks about his declining mental state. A man with a gun, joking about his mental instability. Did not exactly make me nervous as such, but it was off-putting.

Over here in Seattle, the Museum of Pop Culture, which has had a permanent exhibit of Kurt Cobain’s memorabilia for decades, has apparently decided they need to write their display placards like they’re trying to avoid getting demonetized on Youtube.

This is true and troublesome. When driving a car, does a person forget they are driving a car?

I’m a gun owner. I don’t carry. But by god when I have a gun near me, part of my focus is on that gun.

I work from home. As an experiment, I carried an unloaded pistol for a day, at home. I ALWAYS knew it was there. And you better know it’s there.

All too often, sadly: it’s just that in the case of driving, the consequences of such distraction are so immediate that the distraction is corrected, for better or for worse, much more rapidly.
