A quick picture to provoke a bit of thought for the day.

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week:

“If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq Theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: The U.S.should pull out of Washington.

Yes, you heard that right, Free Pot! Mayhaps not quite what your first thought was…

A Texas cop stopped an elderly lady for speeding.

He asked for her driver’s license, and proof of insurance. The old gal took out the required information and handed it to him.

He was somewhat surprised (due to her advanced age) to see she had a concealed handgun-carry permit. He asked if she had a weapon in her possession at the time.

She responded that she indeed had a .45 automatic in her glove box. He asked her if she had any other firearms. She did admit to also having a 9mm Glock in her center console.

The cop asked her if that was all. She responded once again that she did have just one more, a .38 special in her purse. He then asked her what was making her so afraid she felt the need to carry weapons.

She looked him right in the eye and said, “Not a darn thing!”

Sure hope the laptop was worth it!
