I had a Never Again Moment last night, the bottom line being make sure you are disengaged from all automobile parts before you disembark. But it was the circumstance that made me want to post so read and learn:

'Twas the last days before Christmas
and all through the town,
The people were shopping,
some getting pushed down.

As the wife and I were finishing our list,
she exlaimed, "One more stop!"
"On this I insist"

We pulled into parking where we found a good spot
and exited the vehicle on which belt I was caught.
When as I was standing there arose such a clatter,
my wife ran 'round and said, "What's the matter?"

A sickening sight fell on both of our eyes,
It was my Glock on the pavement!
O' what a surprise.

I gazed about at the shoppers to and fro'
They continued not caring but they just had to know!

I reholstered recovering from the pistols' fall
I smiled at the apathy and thought,
"This IS Texas after all."

Merry Christmas and keep 'em where you put 'em.

...this one will become an annual classic!!! thanks for the chuckle...glad it was only a Glock...

There... fixed it for you.

I was at DPC shooting with my wife and son one day and my son accidentally dropped my wife's Glock on the gravel from about chest high. Didn't leave even the tiniest mark. They aren't my favorite pistol, but I think they've got pretty much the toughest finish I've ever seen on any gun.

...stop "fixin" my posts!!! you ain't no ainglesh teacher... what I posted shows how I feel about Glocks...what YOU posted gives 'em more value!!!

This is greatness. I already told you that though.

Mine fared well, there is the slightest abrasion on the buttered side (down side) but I had to look for it under bright light. Not pretty but tough and they go bang EVERY time.

...I know better from personal experiences...but I sure hope YOURS does...on that we can agree...happy and peaceful holidays to you and yours...

The Annoyed Man are you a member at DPC?

An Oldie but Goodie

Twas the night before Christmas, cold, dark and foreboding,
As I sat at the workbench, quite busy reloading.
The empties from autumn were polished so clear
For primers and powder, and bullets from Speer

And Sierra boat-tails, and Nosler's Partitions
(My bench ain't no place for brand name omissions!)
All sat in their boxes, right next to the press
With dies from Midway, and RCBS.

When all of a sudden there came such a jolt,
I grabbed for my Johnson, and whipped out my Colt.
As I spilled Hodgdon's powder all over the shelf
I scrambled for cover, just to protect myself

From up on the rooftop, came hoofbeats and snorting
Like the noise out of L'il Rock, from Clinton's cavorting!
I eased off the safety, to press-check my auto
With 230-hardball, I'd knock 'em all blotto.

Were these rogue federal agents, sent by Schumer and Reno?
Or a staggering Ted Kennedy, in bad need of vino?
My question was answered with a knock, and some sneezing,
"It's Santa, you moron, lemme in there, I'm freezing!"

I flipped off the dead-bolt and threw the door open wide,
To find St. Nick a'shivering, Rudolph by his side
He eyeballed my Commander, with a nod of approval
"You're all set," he said, "for dirtball removal."

"But this is no raid, we're not here to harm you
Or persecute, prosecute, or even disarm you"
Instead, said dear Santa, he needed to borrow
My .357, 'till day after tomorrow.

"It's okay," he assured me, with a hint of frustration.
"I'm enrolled in the National Rifle Association"
He showed me his card, 'twas a Life Member rating
"I've had this since me and the missus were dating!"

"And you see, John ol' buddy, I've gotten real nervous
Since Feinstein was elected, with a promise to serve us"
So henceforth as I'm out there, my presents a'stackin'
"I want to assure you, I'm legally packin'"

"And my gift for you this year, should give you a hoot
"I've told the Supreme Court to give Brady the boot!
Now, Rudy and I must be on our way"
He said, as he climbed back on the seat of his sleigh.

With the reins in his hand, and my Smith in his pocket
He jingled the sleighbells and was off like a rocket
With a pair of speedloaders, and ammo to spare
I knew he'd be safe, he was loaded for bear

As he faded from view, I could still hear him calling
"From D.C., where 'P.C.' is already falling
"To bad guys in L.A., Detroit and Atlanta:
I'm licensed to carry. Don't be messin' with Santa!"

"Merry Christmas and Good Night!"
