Rocket Launchers, Aisle Four!

Wonder what’s brewing with ol’ Confederate Yankee these days.

Illusions of Safety

As many of you know, I work part-time at a sporting goods store behind the gun counter.

Why does this not come as a surprise?

    His full-time occupation is listed as “Presidential Fluffer” in the dictionary of occupational titles.

    How will The Left force everyone to perform homosexual acts if we can’t stop this bitter in-fighting?

    Nice ani, RB, but how could you possibly do that and somehow avoid adding an orange whistle?

    It’s funny (well, not really, but…) that the very people who jones to be around guns the most are often the very people who shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near them.

    The judge approved a $10,000 bond for the sixth defendant, 30-year-old Michael Wayne Bobo, at a later hearing. Bobo, who was kept in custody at least until Wednesday, was charged with being a drug user in possession of a firearm. The other five were charged with conspiring to make a firearm.

    ATF agent Larry Alt testified that investigators who searched Bobo’s home found two rooms loaded with guns and possible explosives components, including fireworks, ball bearings, primers, mouse traps, light bulbs and fertilizer. The man lived in two upstairs rooms in his parents’ home in Trusville, Alt testified.

    From the Decatur Daily article (my emphasis).

    I love it that the guy’s name is Bobo.

    Name jokes are the lowest form of humor, but I can’t help indulging once.

    Gun Counter Gomer would probably swallow the whistle and shoot himself in the foot with his gun if someone attacked him. At that point, the mugger with the Mac-10 would feel sorry for the guy and walk away.

    Okay, from a customer service standpoint alone, he’s just a dick. I can see why he only works part-time if he can’t even close a sale on a fucking whistle!

    As many of you know, I work part-time at a sporting goods store behind the gun counter.

    One time, a couple from out a state ask me for fishing rod. So I says, ya mean like where y’all wait for the fish to come to you? I stare fo while, hope they take my meaning. Finally I nod at a box of hand grenades; but they gimme a look of horror, and exit the store. I bet they’s pobally from New York City.

    I wish we had a picture of him wearing his referee work uniform.

    Did anyone actually go over there and read the comments? Check the one from “David” about how he and his buddies faux-mugged some girls to show that a “rape whistle” would be ineffective. It’s charming.

    We’re talking serious Baby Ruths floating in the gene pool.

    Sure, the names jokes are low, g, but this reads like a satirical screenplay. The dude hates the government, hates Mexicans, wants to kill Mexicans, lives at home with his parents, and his name is Bobo.

    I would not be surprised if at some point in the future law enforcement were to start calling on wingnut watchers for their profiling expertise.

    Would they have preferred if the girl had shot them?

    I’m wondering about the notion of a “frail 50-year old.” Are these guys like 12 or something?

    I remember when I was in the second grade those fifth graders seemed awfully big.

    I just looked at them for a few seconds, hoping they’d make the connection…I offered, trying to point out their obviously flawed logic…. and then I took the conversation where they didn’t want to go….I almost never have to time to take these customers down the logical path..”

    Well, *I* can think of a few other things, but it wouldn’t especially surprise me if that lot couldn’t. Faux-mugged? Jesus H. Christ. Try that on me and you’ll get faux-castrated…

    I almost never have to time to take these customers down the logical path, as they typically eject themselves from the conversation once their illusion is challenged.

    Hmm, I wonder why the customers hurry away from Mr. Owens when after asking where to locate some sporting goods item (orange whistle, shoelaces, basketball, etc) he gets all sweaty and starts yelling “You need to buy a gun!!!”

    It must be because they’re pussified sheep.

    Thanks, Candy. Glad you liked it. I’d wager that event never took place outside of the sick fuck’s maturbatory fantasies though. I’m sure when he spins the wheel at night it always stops on some scenario wherein some girl who has previously refused to acknowledge his existence suffers violence at his hands but that very violence is just the wake up call she needs and then,,,,,, well I’m not going to go any further down this twisted road but I’m sure it ends with one more deluxe autographed Michelle Malkin picture needing to be replaced.

    And, of course, shooting in self-defense worked out so well for that 92-year-old lady there on the wrong end of an erroneous no-knock. It definitely saved her from prosecution for the planted pot.

    “OK, you primitive screwheads, listen up! You see this? This…is my boomstick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart’s top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That’s right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It’s got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That’s right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?”

    Clearly there’s a market for a .50 caliber Wonder Bra.

    An American inventor has designed the world’s first – and so far only -combined brassiere and gun holster.

    The underwear is designed to hold a .38 calibre snub-nose revolver, and also has room for a pepper spray.

    The bra is the brainchild of Paxton Quigley, a Beverly Hills security consultant more used to protecting the stars.

    But Ms Quigley – who has dubbed her invention the Super-Bra, expects huge demand for the $30 (£21) underwear.

But I’m trying to put it on, and it’s got all these straps and adjustments and it really doesn’t seem to fit right and my .38 snubby keeps falling out and they don’t have online help and, aw shit, lookit this now.

    There was a comment from someone who said he thought life was more important than stuff, and he wouldn’t kill somebody who tried to rob him.

    Response: 9/11 changed everything. They used to feel that way about hijackers before they flew the planes into buildings.

    So. You need to shoot a mugger. Otherwise, he’ll climb on your back and make you run into a building, killing thousands.
