Welcome to the BR Shooting Journal

It was a day like any other. The jobs were stacked high, deadlines tight and the pressure was on. The day had passed quickly as do most. It would soon be time to leave, and soon the day would repeat itself. For a few moments I escaped from the office, thinking about the great times I had as a kid hunting with my brother. Beginning at age 12, we would hit the woods with our long arms, enjoying the day hunting small game and pheasant. Memories took me back to an early winter squirrel hunt.

A light snow had fallen and we spotted a group of squirrels circling the top of a tree. Taking a seat, we lit up our smokes, scanned the branches and quietly waited. Within half an hour we left with 2 grays in the bag and a memory that would last the next thirty years. That day in work it dawned on me how much I missed that part of my life and I made the decision to take it back. That day launched this Journal, which has grown from a single blog to sixteen, recording my small adventures in the woods, fun at the range, lessons learned reloading, and the good people I have met. Welcome to the BR Shooting Journal!



As of 10/30/09 I have 100,000 hits on this Shooting Journal, yet I have very little idea who's out there reading it. It would be encouraging to get an email from you with as little as your name and state, letting me know that you're out there. This info will help me improve the blog, and I assure you I am not collecting email addresses and no one but me will see your letter. I've set up a special email box at brshooting@sbcglobal.net, so please take a minute to say 'Hello'.

Thanks! ~Bob

Urgent Alert: Ask Your U.S. Senators And Representative To Sign Amicus Brief Supporting Second Amendment Rights In The States!

...The case is McDonald v. City of Chicago, and it will answer the question of whether the Second Amendment applies to the states—as the Congress clearly intended in the 1860s, when it adopted the Fourteenth Amendment to protect constitutional rights against abuse by state and local governments. This brief is an opportunity for today’s Congress to show just as clearly that it respects the Second Amendment’s importance to all Americans—not just residents of the District of Columbia and other federal territories....

The brief must be filed within the week, so we need your immediate help! On Monday through Thursday, please call your U.S. Senators and Representative, and urge them to sign on to this critically important brief, which will be a key part of the legal battle to protect the Second Amendment in the U.S. Supreme Court.

You can call your U.S. Senators at (202) 224-3121, and your U.S. Representative at (202) 225-3121... MORE

More 'Gun Free Zones' Killings: Gunman kills 12, wounds 31 at Fort Hood

Camouflage: The Original Green

Hunters are the original environmentalists—the true stewards of the land. Hunters have acted as wildlife’s primary guardians all over this country and across the span of time. This is what some “green” groups just don’t get or dishonestly refuse to acknowledge. They cherish the millions of acres of habitat restored and protected by hunters; they reap the benefits of billions of dollars pumped into conservation by hunters; and they marvel at hunter-driven wildlife recovery and enhanced biodiversity. Yet, some shamelessly try to abridge hunters’ rights and close access to the land and wildlife with an ever-increasing barrage of radical legislation. This agenda flies in the face of the “green” movement’s own heritage.. MORE

Another good night for the Second Amendment

Virginia: Either Deeds (B rating) or McDonnell (A) were sure to be a big improvement over outgoing Governor Kaine.

NRA looks to ban adoption agencies from asking about gun ownership

The National Rifle Association is pushing legislation to ban adoption agencies from asking potential parents if they have guns and ammunition in the home. NRA lobbyist Marion Hammer said adoption agencies are violating gun owners' rights by asking about firearms in an adoption form. She said any request about gun ownership from an agency connected with government was tantamount to establishing a gun registry....MORE

Humane Society of the United States

"...HSUS is big, rich, and powerful, a “humane society” in name only. And while most local animal shelters are under-funded and unsung, HSUS has accumulated $113 million in assets and built a recognizable brand by capitalizing on the confusion its very name provokes. This misdirection results in an irony of which most animal lovers are unaware: HSUS raises enough money to finance animal shelters in every single state, with money to spare, yet it doesn’t operate a single one anywhere.

Instead, HSUS spends millions on programs that seek to economically cripple meat and dairy producers; eliminate the use of animals in biomedical research labs; phase out pet breeding, zoos, and circus animal acts; and demonize hunters as crazed lunatics. HSUS spends $2 million each year on travel expenses alone, just keeping its multi-national agenda going..." MORE

Mont Shuts Down Wolf Hunting For Much Of State

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) ― Wolf hunting will end after sunset on Monday across most of southern Montana after the region's quota for the predators was exceeded on the first day of the general hunting season.

Montana has a statewide quota of 75 wolves, including 12 for south-central and southeast Montana... MORE

Students carry concealed weapons in response to U-District crime

UW senior Stanley Luong has a concealed-pistol permit and carries a handgun. He has also been robbed on four different occasions. Luong’s personal experience with robbery and crime in the U-District led him to create the Facebook group “University of Washington Campus Vigilantes,” with the intent to patrol the Ave with other students who had also obtained concealed-pistol permits.

“After something like that happens to you, you get really paranoid … and having a gun helps you move on,” Luong said. “You feel safer … like you’re in control of the situation or have some control if something happens.”.. MORE

WOW! Read this one: Felons learning hard lesssons

Felonious behavior is becoming more dangerous, if two recent incidents are any indication. During a home invasion on Oct. 5, one of the intruders was shot and killed by one of the occupants of the mobile home... We confess to harboring some reservations about the concealed carry law. Our fear was an increase in guns in public would result in more guns being displayed prematurely and/or more accidents.

“All the fears over conceal and carry have never manifested.” We concede the point."

White said recently: “All the fears over conceal and carry have never manifested.” We concede the point. Anecdotal evidence does not suggest an increase in accidents or unprovoked gunplay. The evidence, however, does show people defending themselves from harm. The message being sent to felons is don't bring a weapon to a crime unless you're prepared to accept the risk... MORE

Firearms Industry Remains Critical of Governor Following Press Conference on Ammunition Bill

...Those retailers who can afford to stay in California will be forced to substantially raise prices on law-abiding consumers who, under AB 962, will now be fingerprinted like common criminals simply for exercising their Second Amendment rights.”...“Like the layers of gun control California already has on the books, ammunition registration will do nothing to curb crime. It is silly, at best, to think criminals will stand in line to be fingerprinted to buy ammunition from licensed retailers.

Oath Keepers pledges to prevent dictatorship in United States

...Launched in March by Las Vegan Stewart Rhodes, Oath Keepers bills itself as a nonpartisan group of current and retired law enforcement and military personnel who vow to fulfill their oaths to the Constitution.

More specifically, the group's members, which number in the thousands, pledge to disobey orders they deem unlawful, including directives to disarm the American people and to blockade American cities. By refusing the latter order, the Oath Keepers hope to prevent cities from becoming "giant concentration camps," a scenario the 44-year-old Rhodes says he can envision happening in the coming years.

It's a Cold War-era nightmare vision with a major twist: The occupying forces in this imagined future are American, not Soviet.

"The whole point of Oath Keepers is to stop a dictatorship from ever happening here," Rhodes, a former Army paratrooper and Yale-trained lawyer, said in an interview with the Review-Journal. "My focus is on the guys with the guns, because they can't do it without them... MORE

Why I carry a gun

• My old grandpa once said to me, "Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin'.
• I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed..
• I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
• I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
• I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
• I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
• I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
• I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
• I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
• I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because, unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
• I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

"Police Protection" is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime; they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an ass whoopin'."

Man Fired For Looking At Gun Web Sites

It's not unusual for employees to be fired for browsing pornographic Web sites at work. But a Pennsylvania gun owner named Tony Jackson may have been the first person ever fired for looking at Web sites featuring gun parts... When Jackson was searching the Web for a replacement shotgun stock, supervisor Christie Vazquez -- who admitted in a subsequent deposition to being "very anti-gun" and had quarreled with him before about politics -- noticed what he was doing. Vazquez said she was scared because it was only a few weeks after the Virginia Tech massacre (see CBS News video), so she promptly reported her colleague's Web browsing to Planco's human resources department. Vazquez also informed the HR department that Jackson owned guns and was a member of the National Rifle Association...MORE

Sheriff describes raccoon "gang attack" on Lakeland woman

Lakeland, Florida -- A Lakeland woman is recovering from serious injuries in the hospital after sheriff's investigators say she was "gang attacked" by five raccoons Saturday afternoon.

"When she fell down, they enveloped her," said Sheriff Judd in a news conference called Sunday to warn the public of the aggressive raccoons.

Unfortunately, many of these campaigners of “control” speak very eloquently, very loudly, and relentlessly.

Gun Show Ban Passes Assembly, Returns to Senate for Final Vote in California

Last night, the Assembly passed Senate Bill 585 by a 41-28 vote. SB585 now returns to the Senate for concurrence.

In the Dead of Night, Connecticut Lawmakers Double Pistol and Hunting License Fees!

After negotiating down to a more modest 25% fee increase for pistol licenses and hunting licenses during the regular legislative session, Democratic leaders met behind closed doors working out a deal to jack the fees back up to the 100% increase originally proposed. Legislators then rubber-stamped the hikes as part of the larger budget in votes taking place in the wee hours of this morning.

These increases will do little to raise revenue but will deal a crushing blow to law-abiding gun owners, hunters and sportsmen. People who wish to exercise their Constitutional right to self protection will now have to pay exorbitant fees to do so and those without the means to pay the price will lose the right altogether. In this ailing economy, hunters will choose to stay home at a time when the deer population is exploding in Connecticut. Prospective hunters and those with limited incomes won’t take to the field, thus contributing to the demise of a cherished past-time handed down from generation to generation... MORE

I also read today that 5 are dead and 15 wounded as a gunman opened fire with a handgun in a gym full of women who were working out (MORE). Of course this was a very tragic event, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the 'anti's' exploit this story to push for additional gun control and loss of the constitutionally protected right of self defense. Above we have another story where a motor vehicle, vodka and marijuana were involved in the death of 8. I wonder if there will also be a call for stronger laws against drinking, pot and drunk driving?

Let's listen to how these stories are covered by the left-wing press. I wonder how the gym massacre would have turned out if one of the woman carried a concealed handgun? I assure you it would have ended quickly leaving many less innocent women dead. You know the news will never ponder that question.
