New Shirt!

I have received my UnderTech Undercover concealment T shirt!  Like the UnderArmor T Shirt it compresses the hide.  I am breathing hard from wearing it.  I hope it breaks in soon!

Need New Holster(s)!

I tucked the S&W 457 in the back of my waistband. Every time I bent slightly, the magazine ejected. Small of back holster indicated. Two actually. Small of back, right hand draw, is a left-handed holster. Concealed near hip is right-handed. Very tired of 9mm carry.

Do It NOW!

Urban legends abound!  When I first started carrying concealed, I selected either .22lr or .25acp.  All sorts of 'Experts' related tales of how neither round was effective.  Stories of how one guy survived being shot by same.

Finally I brought out the FBI Uniform Crime Report.   Any time one of these wankers started spewing their BS, I'd tell them how many fatalities occurred from each round in any given year. 

I probably spent more time and effort on that, than I spent actually turning in an assignment.  I could at one point tell you every caliber's mortality numbers, correlate it with sales of various calibers.  .32 had been in a decline since 1977, .38 dropped off in 1985 when most departments switched to 9mm, I could go on for hours. 

What I want to say is that....
Carrying anything is preferable to carrying nothing.
If you wait for the perfect carry gun to carry, you'll die!  Probably of old age!

SOS Please Help!

please help me out.

Don't touch my guns!

reloading question

Hey Gunny friends. Anyone know the weight of a 230 grain bullet when it's fully loaded into a round? I'm trying to see whether I got 230 grain Hydra Shoks or 185.

The Boondock Saints

I decided to watch The Boondock Saints.  The roomie watched me lift the case, and kiss the cross on the front.

I haven't become unhinged.  That DVD belonged to Denice, my deceased love.  When I kiss that cross, in my mind, I'm kissing the cross tattoed over her heart.  She loved that movie, she secretly wanted to be those guys.  I sometimes wonder if I'll ever really get over her.  You see, every suceeding loss, brings every previous loss fresh to your mind as if were only yesterday.  I didn't do Elizabeth justice as a relationship.  Partially because I was trying to please Dad, and the sorry situation he let metastasize in our home.  Mostly because I was trailing behind my love and guilt over the one who died, and I might have saved her, if I was slightly more attentive to her.  I lost the best thing I ever had, and wasn't even able to hold on to our son.  Someday I may meet Loren, and explain the demons that lived in his Mother, and why she couldn't be there to raise him.  

My Dad passed away less than 12 days ago.  I'm hurting not only from that, but from the twenty or so that went before.  Family, Friends, hell I even miss my enemies!

I don't know if I'll have the courage to leave this post up!

Goodbye Father R.I.P.

Earl Roland Bradley, My Father, passed away this morning at 1:54 Pacific Daylight time.

and that's all I'm able to say right now!

I haven't been blogging lately

My Father broke his hip a week ago.  It was tuesday before we went into the emergency room.  They have not fed him anything since he went in.  Around 10 pm this friday night they put in a feeding tube.  Maybe when I go in the morning, they will have it in use.  By turns I'm angry, grieving, helpless...
