Colonel Andy has done it again and told it like it is. Such candor, such forthrightness, and such truth from a fellow “Swinger of Birches.” Yes, South Carolina, we wait.

Fired my new concealed carry weapon for the first time today — the Glock 43. My long time retired Marine brother who lives down here full-time took me to the Sheriff’s range this morning. Wow, what a nice piece. Small, compact, not bulky at all, easy to carry concealed, and accurate as all get out. I thought I would have to have the trigger adjusted since I have always had to in the past. However this one is perfect for a CCW; a little too much trigger for match or target shooting. I must have fired a couple hundred rounds through it this morning and I love it.
Now I know some of you might be against CCW, and I don’t have a problem with that at all — that’s your choice. But I live too close to the gun capital of the nation — you know — the city with the toughest gun laws and the most gun deaths. I’ll let you guess which city that is, but if you don’t know which one it is, you must be living under a rock. Of course, I jest. But you see, I have been through much in my lifetime, and I don’t want my bride or I lying in the street because some demented, drugged up, scumbag has nothing better to do at the time than do us harm.
When faced with a confrontation, I believe I have two choices; reason or force. Of course, I will always try the reason first, but That will be while I am reaching to the small of my back in case the whimpy reasoning I am doing does not stop this scumbag. What am I left with — force. Then, he best be fast and accurate, because even at my age, I am both.
6/18/2022 UPDATE: FINALLY, got the hell out of the gun capital of the U.S. and now live in FL, my final destination after 29 moves in my lifetime. And, of course, am CCW here as well. Sold my Glock 43 to my son-in-law and bought the newer Glock 43X. My one problem with the 43 was the grip was long enough; my little finger hung over the end. Yeah I know I could have purchased the extended magazine which would have allowed the little finger to get on the grip. Instead I chose to get the one Glock came out with bc of all the bitching they received about the 43’s small grip. Have since fired a couple 100 rounds through it and like it much better. My concern was that IF I ever have to use it in an emergency situation, I want a solid grip on the gun before I blow his damn brains out.

Hi gang, sorry for the no-show on here by me; been too busy and there was so much going on around the country I was having trouble deciding what I should sound off about. Well, I found something today that I simply can not pass up. If you have kids, grandkids, great grandkids, their parents should see this and be forewarned. Be aware the video has some strong language in it as the Dad is REALLY pissed, as I would be and I think you might as well.
Oh, please do not pay any attn to the video that pops up with the queer painting his eye lashes, that’s not the story, go down further and read the story then click on the Dad’s video. BTW, what the hell is gender-fluid??????
Can you believe a doctor asked a nine year old boy this question? How dare she do that.

A post from a fellow retired Marine — an artist, a purveyor of elegant words, loyal American patriot, and a very dear friend. Col Andy and I met only once, at my retirement ceremony in 1993, but we reconnected years’ later, and I have become an avid reader of his blog, to which I belong. It is gratifying to learn that Secretary Mabus has overturned his requirement placed on General Neller, our Commandant, by that nasty, irresponsible, arrogant memo of 1 January 2016. Like Andy, I would love to know what transpired behind closed doors that caused him to change his mind “prior” to his required appearance before Congress. I know what I’d like to think happened, but we will never know, unless the General writes a memoir after retiring.

. . . . you may get something in your eyes.
I received the below email from Jerry Schriver who is a retired Navy Captain. When he got too old to fly tanker aircraft, (was a pilot who refueled fighters on raids to Libya) he went to Seminary and became a Chaplain.
Dear Friends, Yesterday while walking out of a lunch place for some reason the random thought quickly ran through my brain, and I wonder how many World War II veterans will pass into eternity today? My guess is that it is fewer each day. I also thought that re-remembering their personal sacrifice and what they accomplished to break the bonds of world-wide tyranny is important, because the generations that follow easily forget. When I came home this video had been sent to my computer. I pass it on to you with a grateful heart and remembrance of the unnamed solider, sailor, Marine, and member of the merchant marine who willingly did the hard job of keeping the peace through great sacrifice. May I suggest that you take the 5 minutes to watch this video and then send it along to your friends.
