Happy Independence Day to fellow Americans!

^^^^I couldn't agree more. Hope everyone had a great 4th -- full belly and all fingers intact.

 

They keep Loris Baz in Scranton, which I find funny.

God forbid he enjoys himself when he's here.

 

Set off a few firecrackers atop some small mountains in the Beattyville/Booneville KY area.
Notice the dumdums on the left by the SxS.

 

Above pic is missing a baseball.

 

July 4th is why the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms exists. One stop shopping.

 

At least you are you smart enough to know we fought the bloody British. Half of our brilliant citizens couldn't even tell what the 4th of July is about or who we fought.

 

Punch a Brit in the face!
Put them back in their place.
Send them packing with their tea!
All their beer tastes like warm pee!

And maybe kick a mama’s boy canuck ‘cause they suck.

 

Remember, we wouldn't have today if the citizens weren't armed with weapons.

 

And balls.

 

HUGE ones. For those that like to bad mouth the founders they should look into what happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Quick check 9 of 56 died in the Revolutionary War. Of course others lost all of their property. All for something that looked out for others (as well as themselves)

Thank you for the freedom, may we honor them by keeping it and making America an even better place.

 

wanna run over to Reading and pick up a GSXR wheel for me Kelly?

 

Happy birthday, Muricans ! @Dave K smelt of elderberries !

 

But right before you punch a brit, make sure you remind them that we eat pumpkin PIE!!!!! Murica!!! Fuck Yeah!!!

 

The exact same guns as the occupying military even.

 

So what your saying is LARPing pays off in the end? Some of the crayon eaters here may not like that fact

 

We spent the morning at the shooting range. I only have one long gun, a reproduction Carlville Model 1766, .69 caliber flintlock musket. The heat and humidity were brutal, and the powder fouling was a gooey mess. Eighteen balls sent down range, only a few flash issues. The more I shoot it and deal with the learning curve of it, the more respect I have for all those Eighteenth Century soldiers, both for the work it took to keep it going in a fight, and the horror of being on the receiving end of that lead ball.
