Pretty sure that’s an MG-42 under some add-ons.  I’ve held one of those recently.  Even in my current excellent physical condition (thank you TRT and to my professional physical trainer) it has some mass to it.  The belt this guy’s wearing takes a big part of that weight from this guy’s arms as well as helping to control the…  impressive recoil.

Still, it’s not for soy drinkers or old folks who need a “Help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” alarms.  And if you would piddle yourself firing your first shot from a Glock pistol, then this definitely isn’t for you.  Range owners don’t like cleaning up explosive diarrhea from the floor.

Presented without comment, aside from elections have consequences.

At our Chicagoland GSL meeting, we enjoyed the company of a longtime government worker affiliated with the voting in Cook County.

While we don’t wish to identify this individual, we were told that early voting participation in Cook County is up between 60 and 150%, depending on the precinct compared to the 2020 election which they use as a “like” event.  (I believe that in the 2022 election, there was a 19% voter participation overall in Cook County, but I may be misremembering what was said.)

In short, people are motivated and then some to vote.  MUCH more so than in the last presidential election cycle.

We’ll see if it’s Kamala’s failed time in the Biden/Harris regime running America (into the dirt) has people motivated, or if it’s the appeals to fears and emotions (and the “Trump is evil” mind virus) that rules the day among those voting.

The map from 270towin shows bad, bad news for the gun-grabbing duet of Big Cackling Kamala and her Knuckleheaded campaign partner Timmy Walz.  It shows Team Trump likely coming away with over 300 electoral votes to Que-mala’s low 200s.  Not that Trump supporters should rest on their laurels as the Big Cheat will be in full swing where it’s allowed to continue unimpeded.

In another “America last” move, Chicago’s Mayhem Mayor Brandon Johnson has plans for “massive cuts” to the Chicago Police budget.  “Defund the police” level of cuts.

Because that’s worked out so well elsewhere…

Unless, of course, your goal is to destroy our nation.

Here is some chilling news for Chicago.

Despite @ChicagosMayor‘s claim a hiring freeze would not affect CPD, we’ve learned no training classes will be accepted to CPD academy until December.

CPD is also preparing for massive cuts — defund-level cuts — to the police budget.

Second City Cop shared a rumor that none other than Cook Co. State’s Attorney, about to “retire” at the end of her term, will take over the COPA – aka the Civilian Office of Police Accountability.

Here it is:

And it’s a Hell of a rumor:

• BIG NEWS SCC, Just found out through a couple reliable sources that COPA KERSTEN’s c ontract is about to expire and she will be replaced by guess who….KIM FOXX !! WTF?? We are sooo screwed.

If true, arrest numbers better hit zero in short order.

The FOP ought to hire some real lawyers, too.

Three steps forward, 2 steps back, we should be stable.

Nerd stuff: We upgraded our infrastructure, again. We moved from a copper to a fiber backbone. Server links are now up to 25Gbit/second. Everything went smoothly until we started our final tests. It appears that the new switch defaulted ports in the wrong direction.

This default blocked traffic from our distributed network file system. The switch has been beaten into submission, and is now performing its duties correctly.

It’s about 12 minutes.  Six if you put your finger on the screen and play it at twice the normal seed.

The governor of California just made this parody video illegal in violation of the Constitution of the United States.

Would be a shame if it went viral. https://t.co/OCBewC4vOb

I’m told by people who have forgotten more about law than I know that Mark Smith hit it out of the park on this video.  Watch it as you have time.  It’s relevant and then some to our legal fight in Illinois. 

The next meeting of the Northwest Chicagoland Chapter will be Wednesday, July 12th at Prairie House Tavern, 2710 N. Main Street, Buffalo Grove. We will begin at 6 pm.

We are attempting to secure a police K9 demonstration and will be meeting outdoors on the patio. We are accepting self-nominations for the Chapter Board, with the positions of Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Member-at-Large.

The dinner format has changed a little. There will be a $15 food fee as you walk in if you decide to eat. (You do not have to eat… but we encourage folks to support our hosts). This will be buffet style (all you can eat) with the July menu being Mini Pork Sliders, Mac and Cheese, Quesadillas, and a mixed salad. Drinks are not included, but people are free to purchase drinks inside.

This is actually less expensive than if we were to order individually off the menu.

Prairie House has asked me to mention that cash is preferred. (They have one computer with more on order, and credit card processing slows service for everyone).

The Wild West has nothing on Chicago.  Nothing.

The Daily Caller put together a number of recent videos from Chicago to show life in the Windy City.  It’s netted just shy of 50,000 views in the past 24 hours.

It’s not pretty.  It is, however, worth the watch.

Go enjoy some fireworks.  Or shoot your own.

If you do shoot your own, avoid any “hold my beer and watch this!” moments, please.
