Navy ship accidentally fires on Polish port

"A crew member aboard a U.S. Navy ship accidentally fired a machine gun into the Polish port city of Gdynia on Wednesday while cleaning the weapon, Navy officials said Friday.

Three rounds were fired from an M240 machine gun into the town but no injuries or damage were reported, officials said.

The gun, aboard the USS Ramage, a Navy destroyer, is used to defend the ship in close combat.

Navy officials said a crew member was cleaning the weapon when it accidentally discharged."

Ok..

What is firearm rule #1?

How many rules did they break?

Buller?

Anyone?

Here is a hint.. They violated ALL of them..

Gun safety rules and mindset:

1. Treat firearms as if they are loaded
2. Point the muzzle away from non-targets
3. Keep fingers off the trigger
4. Be sure of your target and of what is beyond it

That is all.

Is it time yet?

Clair Wolf said

"America is at that awkward stage.
It’s too late to work within the system,
but too early to shoot the bastards."

To further quote her..

Is it time? Morally, yes. Absolutely.

If you do it, and if there’s a heaven, I hope you get a good seat. But if you pot a bureaucrat figuring it’ll light some fire under the cold, dead butts of a complacent nation …

good luck.

Crunch Pad

Apple had better get off their butt's with the touchpad.

They are not the people working on one, and this looks pretty nice.

Some mention of $300.00 if that is the case then it will be useful for a number of things.

Think, in house browser pad/ super iTouch'ish thing..

Looks like it runs some variant of Linux though.

You're Fired!

I was just thinking.

When the TEA parties started there was a problem with mailing tea bags to our congress critters since it triggered all of the "contaminated/chemical" sensors.

So how about this? Go to Staples or Wall-Mart or wherever and buy a few sheets of pink paper.

Print "Termination Notice" on one side, and on the other list Reasons:

1) Ignoring your oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution
2) Supporting TARP, Cap and Trade and the government takeover of health care.
3) Spending our children into a debt that cannot be repaid without massive government control and taxes.

Note: This is not about parties.

I intend to actively contribute to your opponent in any primary election and, should you slip past that, work against you in the general elections. Unless you change your stance, I will vote for Satan himself before I vote for you again.

Sign it. Send it.

I'd think that a pile of pink slips just *might* get noticed.

Carry on.

Just Thinking.

Since they dropped the provision for funding end of life counseling for the elderly.

Does that me that they will no longer counsel "shovel ready seniors"?
