"Do you even know what an actual firearm looks like, much less actually is, so-called LSP?" you ask in that wondering kind of tone, and I don't blame you. For a self-advertised Texan theological gun blog, this shallow kebob stand on the information superhighway is strangely silent about shooting. Maybe, you think, the PR was always a ruse.
Not so fast and steady on, all you punters. Shooting's definitely a part of the old LSP lifestyle, but in fairness to you it used to be more so. There's been an hiatus, a gap in the onetime daily pressure of finger on trigger, I admit that. But today everything changed.
"Join us for a shoot!" invited a friend across the airwaves, and so I did, climbing into the truck with a CZ O/U 20, a box of clays, thrower and a valupak of shells. A few minutes later I was at the ranch and saying hi to a fine body of men, all armed up with pistols, shotguns, ARs, an SKS, AK, HK, all kinds of levers and there you have it, a veritable cacophany of guns.
We set up three stations, skeet/shotgun, rifle, pistol and had at it. I went in for skeet and loved the quick presentation and sheer niftiness of the CZ 20, "Pull!" boom, skeet smoked quick as a flash. Everyone else had 12s and were envious because guess what, you can shoot a 20 all afternoon and not get a dislocated shoulder or cheekbone. Gets the job done with way less aggro, sorta thing.
Moving on to rifles, I enjoyed a .357 Magnum Cimmaron (?) lever, a beautiful rifle and, in the right hands, deadly. Levers, don't you think, are the forgotten "assault rifle," because presumably they don't have pistol grips and deadly exterior magazines. Well, my off-hand shooting with this repro classic wasn't very good but what a lot of fun to work the action and send rounds down range in hope of steel.
Next up, some pistol plinking at close range, and I enjoyed a S&W .22 revolver, what a lot of mechanical fun. Star of the show, apart from various full auto mods? A suppressed Bergara , chambered in 6.5 and topped with a worthy Leupold scope.
Man, I tell you, that sleek little beast shot with unerring accuracy out to our max 400 yards steel and doubtless could have gone way further, all with factory ammo to boot. 1 pound trigger pull! Huh, clearly not something you're going to take out in the brush, I don't think, but most awesome at the long or longish distance range. Huge fun.
Then, as dusk drew in, we fell back to the ranch house for delicious food and tall tales of Thomist philosophy, urban planning, fly fishing, Oxyrhynchus Papyri, the Great Replacement, and all of that. You'll be interested to know that this house has a TOWER. Yes, a tower, and that suggestions for a minigun emplacement were well received.
There you have it, a good day was had by all. Have you noticed how free men can defend themselves and slaves can't?

A day at the range with friends is always a good thing!
Sounds like a great time was had by all! The zen of shooting is real!
Levers, don't you think, are the forgotten "assault rifle,"
Some of the participants in the late unpleasantness between the states might disagree, though the tern "assault rifle" probably wasn't in use.
LSP needs to find a Cowboy Action shoot group.
That's fun and IMHO better training than shooting at stationary targets (steel or paper).
Ours has shoot NO Shoot targets, moving targets, window popups, doors opening and shoot and sometimes no shoot targets scoot through.
We even have both stationary and slowing moving hostage targets where you fail if you hit the hostage.
Great fun.
You need to build a Hogan's Alley (see LAPD). I have been to the LAPD academy and shot a course there many moons ago at the original - copied many times. A practical shooting course in a "combat town". You can use simunition or something like that but if you have the space and the carpenters, it could be fun and could enhance the compound experience in Hill Country.
Whatever happens, LSP has got
A sawed-off 6.5 Bergara, and you do not!
Bergara Shave.
I'll admit to being somewhat intrigued with the Q The Fix "handguns" and mini-rifles but just not intrigued enough to spend that kinda money on one.
Nobody knew. None of us saw it coming. Even though I am one ot Trump’s biggest supporters, maybe a handful suspected it. Many of us expected the economic renewal of the US to happen. Many of us foresaw a significant roll back of Saint Barrack’s, followed by Joe Biden’s horrid,and destructive agenda. A lot of us hoped for a major push back from the left. All of which we have gotten. None of us, no one I have read, no one I know, expected Donald Trump to be a Giant in Foreign Policy. No one expected him to reshape the world. Yet Donald Trump, in a short time, is doing so. That was supposed to be one of the reasons to vote against him. He had no foreign policy experience.
As this has become the biggest economic revival following an economic downturn by the Biden administration , characterized by a sustained period of improving business activity, rising Gross Domestic Product, and making our Military become the best, and strongest in the entire world.
