Home again.

Took a picture of the Grand Canyon on the way, but at 33,000 feet altitude and 25 miles away it looks like a drainage ditch.

‘get the heck out of Dodge’ — and move to Texas

USCitizen — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 00:14:27 +0000

Shield Tactical, a California retailer and firearms training provider, has decided to ‘get the heck out of Dodge’ — and move to Texas

John W. Harrington founded Shield Tactical in 2008, but with California’s hard-line stance on gun control, he decided the state was no longer a good place for his business. Harrington, originally from Texas, said it was finally “time to go home.”

“The state of California treats all businesses as necessary evils,” he told Red Alert. “They treat those of us in the gun business as just evil. They make it very clear that they don’t want us there. It’s just that simple.”

The Firearm Protection Act, sponsored by Republican Representative Steve Toth (The Woodlands, Dist. 15), would stop Texas law enforcement officials from confiscating so-called assault weapons or large capacity ammunition magazines; create a Class A misdemeanor for officials trying to enforce future federal gun control laws – making the police into the law breakers; and give state attorneys the ability to sue anyone who tries to enforce gun control laws.

The Chris Kyle Procession

MIDLOTHIAN — Police have released details about the 200-mile procession planned for a former Navy SEAL sniper who was killed at a Glen Rose shooting range.

Midlothian Police Chief Carl D. Smith said the procession for Chris Kyle will begin at about 8 a.m. Tuesday at the local school district’s multi-purpose stadium and will end at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin. The procession will take U.S. 297 to Interstate 35E.

Military personnel, first responders and the Patriot Guard will provide escort services.

Kyle earned a reputation as one of the military’s most lethal snipers during four tours of duty in Iraq. His wartime account, “American Sniper,” was a best-seller.

RIP Chris.
