Triangle Tactical Podcast and Blog on Guns, Gear, and Competition Shooting
1. Sorry for the lack of good content this week! I came down with the crud Saturday afternoon after the Steel Challenge match, and I was totally out of commission for until late Tuesday. Fever, sore throat, cough, headache, etc. I’m a wuss when it comes to being sick, and I was down for the count.
2. Cleaning guns sucks, especially when I don’t have any Brakleen. I used to clean handguns after every range trip, then I started cleaning them every 500rds or so, and now, I clean them… sometimes. About the most they get when they do get cleaned is a blast with Brakleen, a couple patches down the barrel, and a few drops of oil. I’m lazy.
3. I’m not a fan of “DWI” checkpoints. Seems like once every couple months or so I have the displeasure of rolling through one. Fortunately, with the exception of one checkpoint, every time I’ve notified that I’m packing, that’s the end of my interaction, and I’m on my way. Coughing and hacking my lungs out probably helped tonight too.
