WARNING: THIS SITE FEATURES ORIGINAL THINKING...Jim Croce once sang Don't tug on Superman's cape..., which seems like reasonable advice should we not wish to anger the supreme powers. We do have this duality in our culture: the Superman that is the state collective, the leftist call to a politics of meaning managed by the state, the deification of "we're from the government and we'll take care of you" - versus the Superman that celebrates individual freedom, private property, freedom of conscience, free enterprise, and limited government. We humbly take on the latter's mantle and, eschewing the feeble tug, we dare to PULL, in hope of seeing freedom's rescue from the encroaching nanny state. We invite you, dear reader, to come and pull as well... Additionally, if you assume that means that we are unflinching, unquestioning GOP zombies, that would be incorrect. We reject statism in any form and call on individuals in our country to return to the original, classical liberalism of our founders. (We're also passionate about art, photography, cooking, technology, Judeo/Christian values, and satire as unique, individual pursuits of happiness to celebrate.) |
Superman's product of the century (so far):
Jake and I are going to have lunch and then go to Wade's firing range and hit some targets. Update later and a Jake's Take if he's willing ...
UPDATE: We had a good feed down at Las Margaritas in downtown Bellevue. Chili Verde and Spinach and Mushroom burritos were the orders of the day.
Went down to Wade's. I should have called this post: Jake the Marksman! Whoa! Talk about something to aspire to!
Here's Jake shooting:
Here's his typical group - this is with his Sig 40 (Yes the 4 0) at 30 feet:
Any questions?
Seriously, this guy can shoot! We're talking about hooking up with some more shooters next time - maybe down SondraK's way ... Jake can conduct shooting instruction for us...
Jake's Sig is a very smooth machine - has less lift in it than my Browning 380 - probably because it has a pretty good weight and has a great soft trigger.
'Course, there's this one:
Jake was acutally outlining the 2 with his shots - Show Off! The one to the lower left is because I accidentally shoved him with the tripod while taking a picture.

Surprise? We want surprise! Give us surprise! Is it candy? A doll? Did you bring us a shiny nickel?
EMCEE: Nothing as exciting as any of those things - bought the pistol. Posted it later. Other surprises I will work on, yes.Posted by: Ana at Jul 28, 2005 8:02:18 PM
Holy Cow, Jake! What a great post, MC.
We had fun JWebb. Wish you could have been there. You know, Jake could take care of those bats in a heartbeat - every one of 'em right between the eyes. Only problem is that 40 would probably tumble down the house in the meantime.Posted by: JWebb at Jul 28, 2005 11:06:28 PM
