Hillary vs McCain and Goodbye Gov. Goodhair

It's beginning to shape up as if we are going to have Hillary and McCain in the finals for
President. Giuliani took a nose dive in Florida which doesn't make me sad. Now Governor Rick
Perry is back peddling after endorsing Giuliani. This week he said that it was a hard decision
to endorse Giuliani since Huckabee was a very good friend of his. Either way, doesn't appear that
Governor Goodhair is going to be V.P. running mate for anyone. Could this have been the Perry/Giuliani attraction? John McCain can surely come
up with someone better than Perry.

My neighbor's wife is a Hillary supporter. I like to give her one of these bumper stickers if
anyone can tell me where to find one.

The Most Powerful Shotgun In The World

It is a military spec auto 12 gauge firing a 20 round drum manufactured out of 7 different types of steel. The AA-12 is designed from the ground up for combat conditions by Military Police Systems Inc. in Tennessee. This weapon can fire over 300 rounds per minute, so it is the shotgun for the new millennium. The video is from Discovery’s Futureweapons show. They also shoot a Frag-12 grenade from the AA-12. That is some serious firepower. It’s the gun everyone needs if they need to travel the streets of Port Arthur. The video is a teaser to all of us who want one but they are available only to the military and law enforcement. Anyone have an idea of the cost of the weapon? If anyone gets one and wants to shoot it at GTGC, let me know, I’ll be there.

Happy Trails and Giuliani Trails in Florida

Hopefully the voters of Florida will send Rudy Giuliani, the drag queen, back to New York come tomorrow. He's the closest thing the Republicans have to a Democrat and I never liked him.

Addressing Your Comments

I don’t receive many comments on my blog but I do appreciate those who take the time to comment on an article. I wanted to answer a couple of comments left here.

First one- “you must be a gun nut.”

I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a “gun nut” but like to think of myself more of a “gun enthusiast.”

Second one- Bob,
Philip Klein wrote, "Dude a CZPO1? Nada buddy. Glock and a PT111 for a back up. Seriously buddy. Look into it."

I trust your opinion. Which is the better gun?


If you trust my opinion, then here it is. All of them will kill you death.
I take it that whoever left that comment wanted me to comment on Mr. Klein’s knowledge of firearms. His opinion is just as debatable as mine. To each his own, which looks better? The blonde, brunette or redhead? Everyone has their own opinion and they truly vary when it comes to pistols and revolvers. I only caught Mr. Klein’s radio program maybe 4 or 5 times while he was on KOLE but he made me laugh one day when he talked about going deer hunting and using his sniper rifle. It must have been his first time to go deer hunting.

Here are some of the particulars on the pistols you asked about-

CZ P01 is the successor to the CZ75. CZ75 is the gun carried by the Czech National Police. The CZ75 Magazine holds 14 rounds and trigger mechanism is SA/DA. Weight empty is 27 ounces.

Glock 17 got its name after being the 17th patent for Glock. Glock started out being carried by the Austrian military and Swedish armed forces. The Glock magazine holds 17 rounds. Weight empty is 22.04 ounces.

Taurus PT111 is a subcompact knockoff of the Taurus 24/7 Pro. Taurus holds 12 9mm rounds in the magazine. I own a 24/7 in .40 caliber, it is a good gun but doesn’t hold a candle to my SIG 226 in .40 caliber. I never like the feel of the P111 in my large hands. I think Taurus makes a descent pistol but I hate the rattle in the magazines.

Now if I had to choose one of the above, it would be the CZ P01. My reason is that I have fired a CZ75B in the past and it is one of the most accurate pistols on the market.

If you are wondering where you can purchase the handgun in the pic, it is still in the development stages but you can call the ambulance or coroner for your attacker after the confrontation.

I hope this answers your question and thanks for reading.

This Weeks News

Looking over all the news this week in the Golden Triangle, you have to laugh and cry
at some of the stories.

Starting out with the McCray trial where this is sad. A young dedicated Beaumont Police
officer, Lisa Beaulieu, is struck and killed by a drunk driver on Eastex Freeway. McCray
is sentenced to 11 years and eligible for parole after 5 1/2 years. Sad for Beaumont P.D.
and the family of Lisa.

Then on Wednesday night, Beaumont Police officers, Brad Beaulieu and Lance Tiner, shot a thug
in an overcover drug sting that went bad. Sad enough week already for Brad with the McCray
trial on his mind. Now the victim's (get that, the bullet-proof vest wearing "victim" they call him) family is screaming
the police officers overreacted. I say "Good job." The people in the area of MLK and
Washington Blvd are worried about the crime and drug dealing in the area. Yesterday I was
at a local gun shop, a middle aged couple was looking at guns for protection. The man told
me that they lived around the corner from the MLK and Washington shooting and he needed some
type of gun to protect his family. He inquired about CHL classes for himself and his wife. Hope all works out well for them.

Now for the laughing out loud news story, Port Arthur Pro-Tem Michael Sinegal is disqualifed
from the Jefferson County Pct. 3 Commissioners race in the Democratic primary because he can't
fill out a simple form. Is this the guy you want running Jefferson County business? Not me!
So Michael, run down to the local Walgreens and pick up a box of Klennex and get over it.
You might want to pick up a third grade reading and writing school book if you can find one.
I can't believe that a filing form is so complicated that one can't fill in the proper blanks like, what position are you running for.

Everyone have a safe week out there, plenty of crime in Jefferson County to go around.

Say NO to Hillary Meeting

For those of you who don't live in Texas, and think we are a bunch of uncivilized ruffians - well, it is not true! In fact, we have ladies' groups that meet regularly to discuss current events and develop
needed home-skills.

Here is a photo taken at a recent "Say NO to Hillary" ladies group meeting in Groves, Texas.

Back From The Gun Show

I'm still tired from the Houston Gun Show but it was another good one. Helped out a friend in his booth and we sold a few guns and lots of accessories. I got to see my old friend, Tommy Bean, over at his Tommy Guns booth. There's a perfect example of our inept government when you look at how they treated Tommy. Tommy had some pretty double barrel stagecoach shotguns for sale. I'll save my pennies and get one at the next gun show.

Since the last gun show, the Fred Thompson Campaign disappeared, no one there with a Fred booth like the last two shows. Where did your supporters go, Fred?

If you missed this gun show, here is a list of upcoming shows.

Everyone have a good week and be safe.

Immigration

Ask the American Indian what happens when you don't control immigration.

Political Correctness

Political correctness is a term used by the liberals to discredit the conservatives, that is it, plain and simple. We as a country of mixed individuals from all walks of life, cultures and races have lost all perspective and now we are trapped in this whole PC bull crap.

Here are a couple of definitions of "Political Correctness"
1. Of, relating to, or supporting broad social, political, and educational change, especially to redress historical injustices in matters such as race, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
2. Being or perceived as being over concerned with such change, often to the exclusion of other matters.

Now here is my favorite definition of "Political Correctness"

'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional minority
and the mainstream media which holds forth the proposition that it is
entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.'

Which definition do you think best fits?

Hats Off to the Honorable Ron Walker

According to KBTV-12, Jefferson County is now in the black. That's good news for all of us in Jefferson County after Carl Griffith almost bankrupted the county with his Ford Park entertainment center on Interstate 10. At first, I had my doubts about Judge Ron Walker and if he could lead this county back on the path to prosperity, and it looks like he did it. My hat is off to County Judge Ron Walker for a job well done.

I've been under the weather this week with a bug. Beginning to feel a little better as of today. Need to take it easy this week because I need to be at the Houston Gun Show next weekend.

All of you out there, be safe and have a good week.

Huckabee and Dental Care

I noticed tonight on FOX and CNN that it appears Gov. Huckabee needs some dental work. After viewing this video and this video, he comes across on television as if he doesn't have teeth on the upper right side of his mouth but as you can see from his official portrait as Governor of Arkansas, he has some but in the wrong place. Personally, I want my President to smile pretty.

Hillary takes New Hampshire so maybe she can stop crying for the cameras.

Houston Gun Show Coming Soon

Don't forget the Houston Gun Show sponsored by the Houston Gun Collectors Association. It will be held at Reliant Park on January 19 and 20 and I'll be there working a friend's booth, so I'll will be there both days.

If you are convienced that you don't need a firearm for protection and you live in Southeast Texas then watch this video.

See you there,
Bob

Glad I Don't Live in Iowa

Go figure, a white Christian and a black Muslim win the Iowa caucus. It looks like all the bases were covered in all directions. I'm happier than a pig in slop that Hillary finished third. And just as happy that Fred Thompson finished fourth. With the Houston gun show around the corner, January 19 and 20, I'll see if the Fred Thompson campaign has a booth set up like the last show.

Now first let me say that I don't consider myself a racist but when a presidential candidate won't wear an American flag lapel pin and has problems with the American flag that many Americans shed their blood for so that flag would be able to fly over this free nation, then don't count on Bob saying anything good things about you. I'll touch on that later after the other state primaries decide the front runners.

Then there is Huckabee, 12 years as a Baptist minister, takes first place for being the nice guy in the race. Nothing against Baptist preachers, I listened to one every Wednesday and Sunday while growing up in the rural sticks of Jasper County, so I really don't want to listen to another one on a daily basis running the United States of America. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Christian but I'm also a believer in the separation of church and state. And can Huckabee do that? Then what about him granting a pardon to a convicted rapist who later kills a woman? Then Huckabee's son is arrested by airport security for trying to carry a loaded Glock in the airport. That stupid kid needs a concealed handgun license refresher course but doesn't need it now since the State of Arkansas revoked his CCW permit. Nope, Huckabee isn't my man either. I'm still searching for the right candidate.

Have a fun and safe weekend, my friends.

Luke AFB, Arizona

LUKE AFB IS WEST OF PHOENIX AND IS RAPIDLY BEING SURROUNDED BY
CIVILIZATION THAT COMPLAINS ABOUT THE NOISE FROM THE BASE AND ITS PLANES, FORGETTING THAT IT WAS THERE LONG BEFORE THEY WERE.
A CERTAIN LIEUTENANT COLONEL AT LUKE AFB DESERVES A BIG PAT ON THE BACK. APPARENTLY, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO LIVES SOMEWHERE NEAR LUKE AFB WROTE THE LOCAL PAPER COMPLAINING ABOUT A GROUP OF F-16S THAT DISTURBED HIS/HER DAY AT THE MALL. WHEN THAT INDIVIDUAL READ THE RESPONSE FROM A LUKE AFB OFFICER, I HOPE IT STUNG QUITE A BIT.

THE COMPLAINT:
"QUESTION OF THE DAY FOR LUKE AIR FORCE BASE: WHOM DO WE THANK FOR THE MORNING AIR SHOW? LAST WEDNESDAY, AT PRECISELY 9:11 A.M., A TIGHT FORMATION OF FOUR F-16 JETS MADE A LOW PASS OVER ARROWHEAD MALL, CONTINUING WEST OVER BELL ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET. IMAGINE OUR GOOD FORTUNE! DO THE TOM CRUISE-WANNABES FEEL WE NEED THIS WAKE-UP CALL, OR WERE THEY TRYING TO IMPRESS THE CASHIERS AT MERVYNS EARLY BIRD SPECIAL? ANY RESPONSE WOULD BE APPRECIATED."

THE RESPONSE:
REGARDING "A WAKE-UP CALL FROM LUKE'S JETS" (LETTERS, THURSDAY): ON JUNE 15, AT PRECISELY 9:12 A.M., A PERFECTLY TIMED FOUR-SHIP FLYBY OF F-16S FROM THE 63RD FIGHTER SQUADRON AT LUKE AIR FORCE BASE FLEW OVER THE GRAVE OF CAPT. JEREMY FRESQUES.
CAPT. FRESQUES WAS AN AIR FORCE OFFICER WHO WAS PREVIOUSLY STATIONED AT LUKE AIR FORCE BASE AND WAS KILLED IN IRAQ ON MAY 30, MEMORIAL DAY. AT 9 A.M. ON JUNE 15, HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS GATHERED AT SUNLAND MEMORIAL PARK IN SUN CITY TO MOURN THE LOSS OF A HUSBAND, SON AND FRIEND. BASED ON THE LETTER WRITER'S RECOUNT OF THE FLYBY, AND BECAUSE OF THE JET NOISE, I'M SURE YOU DIDN'T HEAR THE 21-GUN SALUTE, THE PLAYING OF TAPS, OR MY WORDS TO THE WIDOW AND PARENTS OF CAPT. FRESQUES AS I GAVE THEM THEIR
SON'S FLAG ON BEHALF OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND ALL THOSE VETERANS AND SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN WHO UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICES THEY HAVE ENDURED. A FOUR-SHIP FLYBY IS A DISPLAY OF RESPECT THE AIR FORCE PAYS TO THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR LIVES IN DEFENSE OF FREEDOM. WE ARE PROFESSIONAL
AVIATORS AND TAKE OUR JOBS SERIOUSLY, AND ON JUNE 15 WHAT THE LETTER WRITER WITNESSED WAS FOUR OFFICERS LINING UP TO PAY THEIR ULTIMATE RESPECTS. THE LETTER WRITER ASKS, "WHOM DO WE THANK FOR THE MORNING AIR SHOW?" THE 56TH FIGHTER WING WILL CALL FOR YOU, AND FORWARD YOUR THANKS TO THE WIDOW AND PARENTS OF CAPT. FRESQUES, AND THANK THEM FOR YOU, FOR IT WAS IN THEIR HONOR THAT MY PILOTS FLEW THE MOST HONORABLE FORMATION OF THEIR LIVES.

Texas Gulf Coast Gab names "Texan for 2007"

I'm so mad about a "wetback" being named Texas Man of the Year that I've decided to do something about it. If the Dallas Morning News can just name something out of thin air and give an award, then there is no reason why Bob can't do the same. So folks, I will be naming the "Texas Gulf Coast Gab Texan for 2007". Since I'm 57 years old, born and raised in Jasper County and spent most of my adult life in Southeast Texas, I should know what is a real Texan. So without further ado, the Texas Gulf Coast Gab Texan for 2007 is someone who is a Texan, someone with common sense and relates to the common redneck in all of Texas. Someone who had the best Saturday morning radio show on KOLE for two months running. Someone who has over 600 members registered on his blog forum and growing daily. Someone who has been at the top of megadumps top 5 list weekly for the last year. Someone who gets irritated by Orangefield hookers in red boots taking up space at the checkout counter with her lotto tickets during lunch rush hour........Folks, the winner of the Texas Gulf Coast Gab Texan for 2007 is Buck from Setxtrailerpark and Go Get Bucked blog. Congratulations to Buck for being a real Texan. Though we don't have a trophy to present you, you may charge a six-pack of Old Milwaukee Best at any American owned convenience store in Vidor to our charge account.

Happy New Year to all my friends.

Bob
