Just to review.
Today's lesson will focus on the second rule and the problem I have with appendix carry. A holstered firearm in the front of your strong side leg is commonly referred to a "appendix carry". I have always thought it broke the four rules. The muzzle of your firearm, depending on if you are seated, crouched, or standing, will variously be pointed at things you do not want to destroy.
When another rule is broken, as in the case documented by the shooter below, that bullet is going to find your tender flesh in life altering ways.
Appendix carry. Just say no.

BERLIN (AP) — A van ramming and stabbing near Berlin’s Pride festival that left one person dead and many others injured is believed to have been an Islamic extremist terror attack, Germany’s interior minister said Sunday.
The suspect in Saturday night’s attack remains at large. Authorities issued a wanted notice and warned people against approaching Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, saying that he may be armed and dangerous.
Authorities said he is believed to have injured several people with a van in a park near the Pride festival’s closing party. Several people were also apparently stabbed.
One I find annoying. The other is a public safety problem. I do hope Queers for Palestine sees this in their newsfeed.
Following an initial investigation, the Foley Police Department has confirmed the incident on Ghost Horse Drive stemmed from a domestic dispute between family members. During the disturbance, 35-year-old Aaron Steed was fatally shot by his 60-year-old father. At this time, we believe the father was acting in defense of himself and other family members present.
I mentioned a few weeks back that the seats in my CT5 were too painful for my wife to sit in for even short periods. (Her 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited is only slightly longer until pain becomes unbearable.) The rather stiff bolsters cause her great pain. After many experiments ordering and returning cushions to Amazon, we found one that she can comfortably both ride and drive with.

Everything, Everywhere, All at Once (2022). The girlfriend who dragged me off to watch 200 Motels whispered in my confused ear part-way through, "It makes more sense if you take acid first." No, thank you. This movie might be similarly enhanced by LSD. Or perhaps permanent insanity lies that way. It was visually stunning. There is a almost incomprehensible plot involving travel between different universes. Amazing kung fu sequences, too. You will never watch Ratatouille (2007) the same way again.
A movie that I just watched and very much enjoyed was The Sheep Detectives (2026). If you liked Babe (1995), and Chicken Run (2000), you will like this. Not giving away much: shepherd reads murder mysteries to his flock in the evenings. After his murder, his flock uses what they have learned to find the killer.
Lord, I hate it when my blog turns into an obituary column.Two good friends are no longer with us. It was just belatedly announced that Tom Marx had passed away this past February. Tom was one of the true “industry insiders.” He began as a Chicago cop and then focused on the gun world, working […]
While driving toward the district, police believed that the man intentionally rammed the women’s car.
The women were able to enter the parking lot; however, the man’s car hit theirs again.
Police said the two women got out of the car with the child and tried to enter the police station when the man got out of his car and approached the women.
During the ensuing encounter, shots were fired, and the man was shot multiple times, according to the police release.
One of the women entered the district building and notified officers.
Officers then came out to investigate the incident, detaining the woman and rendering aid to the man.
A 70-year-old man was also taken into custody and officers recovered a firearm from the man's right front pants pocket.
Police say the shooting stemmed from a physical altercation inside the home.
Officials believe this may have been self-defense.
Any kid in my neighborhood when I was in elementary school would have cheerfully murdered people in their beds to get their hands on this USS Enterprise bridge playset.
The Treasury Department has blocked nearly $100 million in taxpayer money from going to dead people since implementing a government-wide payment verification process last year, The Post has learned.
The department’s Bureau of the Fiscal Service discovered the money set to go to ghosts after a review of an eye-popping 885 million payments worth a total of nearly $2.7 trillion.

Earlier this week, the Iran-aligned Houthis announced they had expanded their campaign against maritime traffic by targeting Saudi oil shipments through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the key chokepoint on the Red Sea, through which Saudi Arabia has re-directed most of its crude oil shipments to bypass the Strait of Hormuz.
China-bound tankers appear to move through Bab el-Mandeb, but some others, including Denmark-flagged products tanker Torm Innovation, have made U-turns in the Red Sea and are now heading north toward the Suez Canal.
Despite the Houthi blockade, “two China-crewed, China-bound tankers loaded at Yanbu and cleared Bab al-Mandeb apparently untouched,” maritime intelligence firm Windward said on Thursday.

I have always enjoyed his music. Seeing this 6/23/26 Variety article makes me respect him more. He explained that he was offered seven figures to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival:
"But I’m doing enough that I don’t need to take any amount of money if it makes me feel icky, and that kind of did.”
Saudi Arabia is slowly inching towards the 16th century. It still needs to sign the Abraham Accords and treat women as equals.
According to victim and witness statements, the suspect yelled "Allahu Akbar" during both attacks, according to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. The NYPD is currently evaluating whether this is a potential hate crime, she said....
While the perpetrator has no known mental health history with the NYPD, the initial investigation suggests that mental health may have been a factor, the commissioner said.
It looks like Bertha will soon limp into Texas, dragging a leg and will soon reach remnant status. She has suffered with wind shear since forming and that suits me fine.
Currently, we have a light rain with 89F temps. Wind out of the southeast at 5 with gusts to 10. Heat index is 99F. Not exactly pleasant, but a lot more tolerable than it has been. In another 12 hours we will put Bertha in the history books and await the rest of the tropical storm alphabet.
