But it's more powerful than an AR 15 or AK 47 and very accurate !

 The 7.62 round is a hoss !

Talk about Russian interference ?

 the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Circuit Court Judge Richard Moore ruled - " Confederate statues will stay. "







The Story is Here !

Well for now it's good news !
 I am sure the folks who oppose it and all things Confederate won't stop !

A similar suit is going on in Norfolk VA.

The Sky went Silent !



On 9/11/2001 I was working on the approach of runways 32 Left and Right at Oceana,

                                    a bright day without a cloud in the sky.

We heard on a truck radio that a plane had hit the WTC.
We all thought it was a small passenger plane and continued with our job. Not long after we heard a second plane had hit the towers. All work came to a halt as we listened to the radio.
The project manager joined us as information filtered in.
Some time later we were told to evacuate the airfield
.
If you live or work near  Naval Air Station Oceana  you know it's seldom quiet jets are always taking off or landing.Image may contain: sky and outdoor


But on 9/11 the skys went silent - Nothing was flying !

The airstrip was sealed off and we had a heck of a time leaving it as we had been instructed to do.
The exits had been blocked with Barricades and had Service men with weapons preventing anyone from entering or leaving. I waited at the base of the Tower until an escort came and let us off the airfield.


                     A horrible day that I wish I could forget, but need to remember !

Lawful Action !




Every once in a while I'll repost a photo on Facebook.

The one below is popular once again.

I was working directly across the street at a construction site 
and took many  opportunities to visit Tredegar.

I was appalled that this statue was there ! So in order to display my feelings I purchased a small Battle Flag and placed it where you see it. I took the photo, then removed the flag, not wanting to cause disharmony for other visitors.

I still remain opposed to the location of this statue and favor it's 
lawful removal to a more appropriate location.

(Rocketts Landing ?  Lincoln did set foot there.  )

Unlike the mob at Durham -
who took unlawful action but were let off the hook by the DA.


"For my office to continue to take these cases to trial based on the same evidence would be a misuse of state resources," Echols said. "For that reason, I will dismiss the remaining charges against the remaining defendants."



(What a load of Horse Hockey !)

I favor lawful action !

An option for Lincoln's statue (my favorite) would be --

Melt it down on site as educational instruction.

Then cast a cannon !

But the influx of Carpetbaggers and continuing presence of Scalawags in Richmond,
make any favorable action unlikely.

That's my 2 cents worth !
