Probably. Or the open carry folks for that matter. The average cop, however, is very average with a weapon.

I shoot at a police range. They get free ammo and unlimited time. I guess it seems like work, because most avoid it unless they have to qualify.

Speaking of bad shots, William S Burroghs shot his wife in a drunken game of "William Tell" - shot just a bit too low and got her in the head. Need a good movie about his life.

Burroughs has figured as a side character in some movies. And he played more or less himself in Drugstore Cowboy...

Last week in Internet: Feminist group gets a model to walk around New York City for 10 hours to show how many catcalls she gets and how terrifying and degrading such objectification is.

This week in Internet: Teenage girl snaps picture of "hot" teenage boy working at Target and girls around the country blush and giggle with glee spreading his picture around to all corners.

The thing that killed me about the video of the model was that if a guy said, "hello" it was recorded as harassment. Hello, for Christ's sake.

In the south, it is common to say hello or howdy or whatever to just about everyone.

The whole thing was ridiculous and stupid. A guy said "God Bless You" and that counted. FOH.

Yeah, it's people looking for something to be outraged over.

How the country's most unhealthy state turned out to be the lowest adopter of the Affordable Care Act...
The first year of the Affordable Care Act in Mississippi was, by almost every measure, an unmitigated disaster. In a state stricken by diabetes, heart disease, obesity and the highest infant-mortality rate in the nation, President Barack Obama’s landmark healthcare law has barely registered, leaving the country’s poorest and perhaps most segregated state trapped in a severe and intractable healthcare crisis.

To piece together what had happened in Mississippi, I traveled there this summer. For six days, I went from Delta towns to the Tennessee border to the Piney Woods to the Gulf Coast, and what I found was a series of cascading problems: bumbling errors and misinformation ginned up by the law’s tea-party opponents; ignorance and disorganization; a haunting racial divide; and, above all, the unyielding ideological imperative of conservative politics. This, I found, was a story about the Tea Party and its influence over a state Republican Party in transition, where a public feud between Governor Phil Bryant and the elected insurance commissioner, both Republicans who oppose Obamacare, forced the state to shut down its own insurance marketplace, even as the Obama administration in Washington refused to step into the fray. By the time the federal government offered the required coverage on its balky Healthcare.gov website, 70 percent of Mississippians confessed they knew almost nothing about it. “We would talk to people who say, ‘I don’t want anything about Obamacare. I want the Affordable Care Act,’” remembered Tineciaa Harris, one of the so-called navigators trained to help Mississippians sign up for health insurance. “And we’d have to explain to them that it’s the same thing.”

Think like a feminist. This makes perfect sense to them. It makes perfect sense because feminsts live a life that is eternally "scorned."

When you are an ugly woman and you KNOW that no man wants to f-ck you (let alone marry you and care for you the rest of your life) then everything in your life is about trying to extract as many financial resources from men (through government) in an effort to make you financially "whole" (the Affordable Care Act which forces people like me to pay for Sandra Fluke's health care so she can live a Life of Julia) while at the same time, destroy any possible sexual congress between men and attractive women because YOU will not personally benefit from it. That is the only reason why we have that bullshit in California, the "yes means yes" law, and now this thing with catcalls. Men don't "man up" to marry feminists anymore so more and more, feminists will run to government and use its authority to bring down the hammer on all men (vengence.)

Its never too late gentlemen. Cross over and join the MRM. Red pills time.
Feminism: Eve eats ALL the apples, gives God the middle finder when He confronts her, and has the serpent serve Adam with an injunction ordering him to both stay away from her AND to provide her food and shelter because he dragged her out of the Garden.
