Public Safety...

By The Armorer on April 15, 2005 | | Comments (8)

Say Uncle invites us to Head's Bunker - where we see an unfortunate cop caught on camera, and snarked at by us gun geeks.

Why? There he his, arms as big as a planet - guarding the NY Financial District - with the Aimpoint sight on his rifle... on backwards. Read the comments, as well.

Heck, since Say Uncle talks about it. Today is Tax Day Buy a Gun Day. The Castle's tithes have been e-filed to the Feds and state of residence, and the hard copy is on it's way to SWWBO's state of labor. Good thing most states don't really push hard on source taxing... or the Castle would be filing 16 or so state returns and be MUCH more activist about taxes! (Note to California Tax guys - SWWBO did *not* work in your state!)

The Armorer will not be buying a gun today, but a prompt repayment of the Castle's loan to the respective governments *might* finance a pick-up of a nice antique piece in N'awlins next week, as I will be winging down to join SWWBO for the weekend, to celebrate the end of this three months on the road. SWWBO *has* intimated that the Armorer has been a relatively good boy (low start point for the comparison, I assure you) and she is willing to consider a reward...

That gun pic is funny and sad at the same time :-O On taxes and California - I know 'zactly what you mean. I was living in Colorado when I was with Texas Instruments, but my expense checks came from the regional manager in San Jose. California state sent me a notice one year demanding either a tax return or good cause why I didn't owe them one!!! I snarked back, never heard another word. They're grabby bastids!

I almost feel sorry for that cop... His squadmates are NEVER going to let him live that down!

Of course. upon reflection, I don't think he NEEDS a gun. And for GOD'S sake, don't shoot HIM! It makes him VERY angry!
