RECCE ROOM

Seen on that wonderful place we call Reddit: "Conservatives, how do you feel about Donald Trump pardoning Jan 6 rioters that physically assaulted police officers?" In a court of law, the opposing counsel would object, citing "facts not in evidence."  To put it another way:  There was no riot.  Nobody assaulted police officers.  The only injury that occurred was when the POS, Lieutenant Michael Byrd, shot and killed Ashli Babbitt. Therefore, to answer the click-bait question: I am GLAD that Trump pardoned the protesters. I know of several who were recipients of the pardon. It was lawfare, plain and simple. The stroke of the pen by Trump ended this lawfare.  I'm also endlessly glad Trump pardoned the abortion protesters. 

Recently learned my friend and fellow firearms instructor, David White, has passed after a brief battle with cancer. Here is his obituary .  When someone I know passes, I prefer to remember good times:  David helped me as an assistant instructor in firearms classes on more than one occasion.  --- Here is a testimonial by David.  --- When David and I were becoming NRA certified pistol instructors (this is where we met), he did not pass the shooting portion on the first try. You are allowed a retry, and that was held at the end of the final day of the class. I lent him my .22 caliber Browning target pistol. He was amazed that I would loan him a firearm after knowing him only 2 days, but I could tell right away that he had a heart of gold. I received a text message from him moments after I arrived home: "I PASSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEDDDDDDDD!!!!!" He returned the pistol that day - bringing it to my residence as we had determined we lived in fairly close proximity.  --- O...

Seen on X, from Richard Cooper - here, pasted text in case Blogger inexplicably deletes the image as they have done so many times in the past: "In the not so distant past, she was wifey material if she was: A virgin Tattoo free  Had good family  Feminine  Under 25  Religious  Had homemaking skills  Agreeable  Could cook & clean  Wanted his children  Most brides today are none of those things." Here we will give an example of what most modern women are like in italics below Cooper's list of marriageable qualities.  Marriageable qualities vs. Reality: A virgin Been with 100+ men (whatever number they tell you, multiply it by 9, at the least.)  Tattoo free  Many tattoos.  Had good family  Comes from single mother only home where the mother did not allow the father into the children's lives.  Feminine  Feminist Under 25  Over 30, with declining fertility.  Religious  "Spiritual" (meaning wil...

In yesterday's article, questions were raised about the YouTube channels that ditched USCCA in favor of presumably the money from "Attorneys on Retainer." Today, we focus on the error of that choice.  First , the founder of AOR is Marc Victor. Here is a video that details a few of the troubles with him. This website has most , if not all the same quotes used in the video. From the website: Victor believes in gun restriction laws, even if temporary (sounds a lot like red flag laws) - "As a criminal defense attorney for over twenty-five years, I’ve personally witnessed prohibited possessor laws indeed keep guns out of the hands of some such people (those that "violate" or "might violate" Victor's "Live and Let Live philosophy). That fact alone makes the effort worthwhile." Victor believes in requiring "competency" to own firearms - "However, reasonable people could also argue a gun safety class ought to be required to e...

Last week, this blog had two articles on some disturbing advertisements put out against the USCCA and in favor of Attorneys on Retainer. Why does this blog characterize them as disturbing? Because although speech is free, part of what is protected by free speech is false speech. And it is this author's opinion that AOR was attacking USCCA with false allegations, disguised as "making an argument," in order to take market share by way of selling their "protection packages."  Some have said that the questions raised by this author suggested a possible relationship between the gun channel YouTubers. More than one comment on YouTube, and more than one email sent to this author accused that possible relationship. Well, let's clear the air.  The gun channel YouTubers who were observed to fall into the pattern of saying the same thing at about the same time (except Heavy Duty Country, who started almost a year prior to the others) were: Heavy Duty Country (exception...

Joe Biden will hold a record - most pardons issued. Of course, in late 2024, he pardoned his son, as well as issuing many other controversial pardons.  A few days before he left office, Biden commuted the sentences of some 2500+ "nonviolent" drug offenders. Or at least that is what is being reported. It will not surprise this author if those clemencies include some very controversial decisions, as well.  And, on his final day in office, Biden pardoned General Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and the felonious members of the J6 investigation committee. In his final hours, Biden pardoned members of his family: brothers and some inlaws.  Of course, the Supreme Court has ruled that a pardon carries an "imputation of guilt" and accepting a pardon is "an admission of guilt" (Burdick).  We know what the J6 committee, General Milley, and Dr. Fauci did. Those are fairly public knowledge. What did Biden's family do?
