RECCE ROOM

Lots of things going on in the old Noggin today. Not enough for a blog post on any one of them, yet. So let's do this, shotgun style... Nashville Nashville mayor, Megan Barry, still hasn't resigned. Just about any man in her position would have been forced out long ago. Double standard at its finest. Rapefugees Police in London say they are baffled at the 20% increase in rapes. They can't seem to figure out why. Gee, do you think it's the inbred, third world, Moslem Invaders? Surely not. Florida It turns out that four sheriff's deputies in Florida refused to enter the building while the shooting was taking place. Surely, this is not related to the fact that the sheriff himself is a big-time #Libtard who has been photographed with the who's who of the Democrat Party, and is on a whirlwind tour touting gun control these days. Gun control Speaking of gun control, If law enforcement is afraid to confront a single teenager with an AR15, I don't think the...

This meme was found on social media. Of course, it is very misleading, as all liberal memes are. The #Libtard media knows there's a world of difference between forcing teachers to be armed, and allowing teachers to be armed. Yet, they still push their agenda.

Seen on social media regarding school shootings: Arguing about guns is getting tiresome. The same impossible-to-implement gun control ideas are trotted out after every shooting with a fixation on the scary objects. Few of you on my friends list know I dedicated years of my life right after college to a program born out of Columbine that's the most effective at reducing school shooting tragedies and that I've traveled the country visit to middle schools and high schools in 30+ states speaking and doing work to make schools safer. I am an expert on this school safety topic and also somewhat of an expert on guns as they're a big part of my life from also working in the hunting/outdoor industry for years and being a CCW holder, and well-trained gun owner and dedicated sportsman and shooter. And I am friends with the top experts doing the best work in schools to make them safer, several of which were at the White House this week. If anyone wants to talk actual solutions to m...

From a friend on Bookface... Dear liberals  I am a gun nut, the floor joists in my house moan with agony under the weight of my gun safe. I have enough ammo to take over a small country. I have been a gun nut since my dad got me my first bb gun. I hunt, I shoot for fun and have weapons for protection. These things are never gonna change no matter how much you cry about it. I am 50 years old and have a nonexistant criminal record. I believe in personal responsibility, you believe in government handouts and passing the buck. I believe in disciplining kids and holding them accountable and responsible for their actions. You believe in coddling them when they misbehave and instilling a sense of entitlement in them. I firmly believe in discipline, you believe in stringing kids out on pharmaceuticals. I believe when someone has a mental illness, a mental illness that has been classified as a mental illness for decades, you get them the help and treatment they need. You believe in acc...

With all the anti-gun hysteria about, here are some good memes that the Rifleman has picked up and shared lately. 

Observed on social media recently: I'm a conservative, but I do not like or support Trump... So, the Rifleman finds the profile, and does a bit of research. This "conservative" is in favor of funding Planned Parentood, open borders, and gun control. Pretty sure he has no clue what the term conservative means. Actually, he probably does. Total #cuckservative here. Conservatives have managed to conserve nothing. That's why the Rifleman is #AltRight

Laughter is good for the soul. However, it can be difficult to get people to laugh. Recently, the US National Weather Service of Nashville, TN  has been adding to the humor. Sure, there are plenty of typical weather reports from the service: PRESIDENT'S DAY:  Mostly cloudy, but unseasonably warm.  A slight chance of showers.  Highs in the upper 60s to middle 70s. #tnwx #Nashville #Clarksville #Crossville www.weather.gov/nashville However, there is one author who occasionally challenges the status-quo. Hilarious and witty entries have been popping up. The Rifleman was just partway into the first he had seen when he recognized the prose. Immediately a text message was sent, and the recipient fessed up to the authorship. One typical such entry: We've got a banner day in store Friday. In addition to being Friday, tomorrow is going to be positively spring-like. Most of us will see temperatures reach the 60's with sunny skies. Even tonight won't be as cold, with tempe...

When I was in my teens, our neighbor came over one day, and had a question for Pops.  Since Pops was an engineer, could he help the neighbor's kids with their soap box derby car.  He asked if there was any way to fill it with lead so the kids would win? The cars were still solid blocks of wood.  A few moments at the bandsaw and sander and the block of wood actually looked like a car.  Then came the fun part.  Pops was going to drill a hole in the bottom of the car and pour molten lead into it.  The plan was to then spackle over it and paint it so as not to give away the shenanigans.  In the process of drilling the hole, the neighbor moved the car. It spun away, and the drill missed and went right into Pops' hand!!! Blood went everywhere.  The neighbor actually complained that Pops got blood on the car.   Pops pointed out that it was going to be painted over.  In a final stroke of genius, Pops spackled too thick. The car placed d...

When I hear the term, "knock down power," my eye starts to twitch. If I am teaching a class, my first reaction is to ask the question, "and how exactly is knock down power measured?" Still no answers on that one. Occasionally, someone will change over to the term "muzzle energy." But, since the initial term "knock down power" was used, chances are it was a debate - either 9mm vs. .45 acp, or .223 vs. .308. Since nobody argues that .308 is a more powerful round than .223, let's focus on the main problem: 9mm vs. .45 acp. Using ballistic calculators, as well as published data, muzzle energies of many common 9mm and .45 acp loads, data was gathered.  On average, the 9mm rounds were right around 400 foot-pounds. The least powerful being around 390 foot pounds. On average, the .45 acp rounds were right around 415 to 420 foot pounds.  The most powerful being about 450 foot pounds. So, on average, there is a 20 foot-pound difference between ...

Rules for kicking ass in life: 1. See failure as a beginning, not an end.  2. If you don't go after it, you won't have it.  3. Always do more than is expected of you.  4. Teach others what you know. 5. Assume nothing and question everything. 6. Make peace with the past or you'll pay for it. 7. Stop thinking so much and start acting.  8. Never compare yourself to others. 

Whoosh!!! The sound you heard and the breeze you felt upon your skin was the Rifleman striking out.  The Rifleman didn't even come close.  What, you ask, can the Rifleman not do? Here are 16 things! From the   Return of Kings  article, "16 SIGNS THAT YOU ARE A WEAK BETA MALE." 1. You bench-press less than your body weight. The Rifleman benches 300 for reps, and weights 220. 2. You have more than 25% body fat. Nope.  Mid teens.  And yes, the Rifleman could stand to get that down a bit.  3. You lack the will or ability to learn self-defense. The Rifleman teaches self defense.  4. You embrace leftist ideologies. Heh. 5. Your existence largely centers around pastimes like sport, video games, or TV shows. Never has.  6. You are more interested in other people than ideas. Several ideas on tap at the moment.  One of then will come to fruition here in the next few days. 7. When you travel, you never step out of your comfort zone. ...

The dynamic entry is antiquated. Yes, The Rifleman is fully aware that the dynamic entry is standard military Doctrine. But, being standard military Doctrine does not make something right. ACU gravel pattern. Reflective strips. No Hands In Pockets. Doing away with the A-10. Etc. Before any kind of CQB, the entering team must check the portal door for booby traps, Etc. Then the team reaches the door. A discussion about breaching could entail many blog post, just by itself. What happens next, after the bridge, is the subject of this post. In dynamic entry, the team rushes into the Fatal funnel, checking momentarily for threats directly in front of them, before moving to one of the corners. You will hear the three maxims - speed, surprise, and violence of action. And these are all fine and dandy... If there is not an armed threat inside waiting for you. Everyone agrees that it is the fatal funnel - why on Earth would you want to run right into it? The Rifleman is here to tell...

A conversation The Rifleman had not too long ago, with a coffee barista. And before you go ballistic, understand that this was being bought for me by a coworker. I wouldn't spend my own money on this brand. Barista - "And what would you like today, sir?" Rifleman - "I would like worldwide Peace and Freedom, but that's not happening anytime soon. Instead, I will take an XYZ coffee." Barista - "Sir, are you a Libertarian, like me?" Rifleman - "Alt-Right with libertarian leanings." Barista - "How is that possible?" Rifleman - "My optimistic side, my heart, says we should all be free. My pragmatic side, my brain, realizes that nature abhors a power vacuum." Barista - "Best point I've ever heard."

From a reader - Are we going to get more on Greg Locke and PP ? Thank you for reading, and asking.  In short, the answer to your question is no. Not until all the dust has settled. On one hand, I have detailed information that needs be kept private for the time being, which proves Locke's statements.  Also, many of the statements and assumptions on the phone call were so incredibly wrong, it was hilarious.  It is the Rifleman's estimation that PP gets more clicks when they write about Locke. This drives them more traffic than their normal stories.  So they keep at it. Plus, there was this tidbit: the Rifleman said "Gammas will be Gammas" in regards to the conversation.  Then this pops up: Aspergers would certainly account for many of my observations.  And since it is poor form to lay the smack down on a person with a handicap, we will let this one sit.

For a while now, since the start of all this "Russia" nonsense, some on the Right have been agreeing & amplifying.  For example, The Rifleman's Twitter profile has often said that I am a "Russian Sniper." Lefty has also referred to himself as a Russian agent. It's really all in the name of good humor.  Then, on Friday, #TheMemo was released.  We learned that the collusion to steal the election was not Trump and the Russians. The collusion to steal the election was Hillary Clinton,  Barrack Obama, and the FBI. Great. Just great. All that fun with the Russia BS, that we all knew was BS, has been proven to be BS. Now we will have to find something new with which to entertain ourselves. 

President Trump has been referred to by many as the epitome of an Alpha male. The Rifleman agrees with this observation. The State of the Union Address that Trump gave earlier this week has many prime examples of Trump's Alpha nature. If you will recall, this blog has dealt with Alpha responses on multiple occasions. Let's review the three main types of an Alpha responses - 1. Agree and amplify. 2. Dismiss and ignore. 3. Ridicule and reframe. Agree and amplify Trump told the story of Ji Seong-ho, a refugee from North Korea, who lost his left leg and left hand in the process of escaping. Before the State of the Union Address, many #Libtards were saying that we should not go to war with North Korea. While war is never a desirable outcome, Trump's illustration points out the moral correctness, should that outcome become necessary. Dismiss and ignore Russia. Ridicule and reframe “Preston's reverence for those who have served our nation reminds us why we s...

Nashville mayor, Megan Barry, revealed Wednesday that she had an extramarital affair with the former head of her security detail. So, naturally, The Rifleman would like to commemorate this moment with some memes.
