Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder

Looks like it took about three weeks to surface & start making the email rounds. another one we didn't see on the National News....Wonder Why ? See link to story below. This NC Democrat State Senator is a die hard anti gunner. He has voted for every anti gun bill that has crossed his desk, but when someone invaded his house, he picked up a gun for self defense. Hypocrites! See another news article below the link.

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder http://www2.timesdispatch.com/rtd/news/national/article/74-year-old_n.c._state_senator_shoots_wounds_intruder_at_his_home/287987/P10/

Aug 24, 2009 Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C.. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician's home county said.

The victim, Kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life-threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties.

The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County Sheriff's Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.

"I am not in a position to talk to you," Soles said by telephone. "I'm right in the middle of an investigation."

Soles, a top-ranking Democrat and the longest-serving member of the legislature, already was the subject of an SBI investigation over sexual misconduct allegations with former male clients.

The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn't hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in immediate danger and he was the victim..

In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the "Do As I Say And Not As I Do" Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legistlative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should not have if they were faced with an identical situation.

It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety are far more valuable than yours or mine.. But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, manage our money, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.

SOLAR OVEN WINTER EXPERIMENT

Hey ya'll! I made this solar oven durring the summer. I drug it out to try it out in really cold weather. luckily it went well. If you wanna see how I built it, you can view my other videos on my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/threefloorsdown1

TEALITE ALCOHOL STOVE

Here is a concept tealite alcohol stove that think has some promise. I've enjoyed tinkering & creating new stoves! This stove took around 2 weeks to get right after failing on many others.

Here is a great way to carry cordage without taking up room in your gear pouches!

*1 HANDED FLINT & STEEL TECHNIQUE

This flint & steel technique could come in handy if you injure 1 of your upper limbs! I know it really helped me out after learning it! It also forces you to strike the flint correctly.

*MAKING CHAR CLOTH & DAKOTA FIRE PIT 2

This is to show how the Dakota Fire Hole is used & how effecient it is for cooking &other tasks! I used the opportunity to show how to make char cloth. i used my tin for dry tinder to make it & used the contents of the tin before hand to build the fire.

*DAKOTA FIRE HOLE

*OUT IN THE WOODS

I wanted to get outside for the day & wanted to try out my new tealite stove I made in the video below. It was pretty successful in cooking my food even though I had to get a stand figured out before it started doing well. I cooked mac & cheese with dehydrated hamburger that had taco seasoning in it already. It tasted really good

*TEALITE ALCOHOL STOVE

I was inspired by some video's other people's stoves they'd come up with & thought this was a good idea. I tinkered with these for a few days & still have a few lil ones I wanna try out. This stove weight almost nothing but are very fragile

*HOW TO MAKE A POP CAN / ALCOHOL STOVE

There are many tutorials on how to make pop can/ hobo/ alcohol stoves on the internet & youtube. I had't seen very many good video's explaining in detail how it was made. A viewer of mine had requested this video & I happily made it for him. If you have a video you'd like to see me do, plz visit www.youtube.com/user/threefloorsdown1 or leave me a comment here



PART 1



PART 2

*ALCOHOL STOVE COMPARISON

These are 2 stoves i built to test the amount of fuel burned. there are a few tradeoffs between 1 & the other. I really like the Penny Stove cuz it burns longer & is easy to blow out. The open stove lights quick without having to prime it . These stoves can be hard to prime on a cold day

*PIMATIVE BOWL MAKING

This bowl I tried out was a pretty cool & rewarding little project. It took nearly 3-4 days to burn...while taking break. Its very time consuming. Prepare lots of small kindling type wood for best results. Mud can also be used to mask/cover areas you don't want the extreme heat touching or burning it!

*WATERPROOF MATCHES

I compared a regular matches against wax dipped matches. The wax waterproofs the match head pretty well & if the match is submerged in water for more than 5-10 minutes, it might be ruined. It protects them from any short-term exposure to water. The wax also allows a match to burn longer cuz the wood doesn't burn as fast with the wax.

When you strike the match, you wanna make sure to pick off the wax around the match head. if not, theres a good chance you'll ruin your sandpaper striker. Strike Anywhere Matches are what you want this lil project

*A FEW PROJECTS

I was just doin a few little projects & thought i'd share! I painted my mess kit green just cuz I thought it would look cool & match the rest of my gear. Its mostly green too!

I found a little gumball lookin thing all over the ground & i've not yet identified the thing! i will work on that. I found that if you break it up, it has fine fibers that will catch a spark very well. I was surprised how well it worked

*FIRE STARTING KIT

This "Fire Starting Kit" was inspired by a few other kits I'd seen put together. It has just about everything you'd need to get one going!!

1) Lighter

2) Magnifine Glass that I took out of a telescope...

3) Flint Rod & 4" Saw Zaw carbon steel blade. the carbon steel makes a bigger/hotter spark...

4) Dry Tinder Tin with matches, a few cottonballs w/ wood shavings & twigs. this is incase my surrounding resources are wet & I need a small fire goin quickly & easily to get the wet tinder I've collected dry enough to catch fire...

5) Water Proof "Strike Anywhere" Matches dipped in candle wax. Make sure to lightly pick off the wax on the head before you strike it on the sandpaper, otherwise the wax will fill in between the grit & you have a hell of a time!...

6) Flattened "Duriflame" peice of a log. Let it sit out in the sun for 15 minutes & you should beable to make it into any shape you want! It has a chemical excellerent in it that aids in keeping the fire goin strong!...

7)Char Cloth has carbon deposites on it that act like charcoal & it holds an ember from a spark for an greater amount of time so you can get the embers tranfered from the cloth into the dry tinder you have ready!...

8)Dryer Lint works great...cottonballs & dryer lint will catch a spark very easily & burn long enough to get your tinder lit. If you've ever held a lighter up to your new socks & watched the flame go crazy around your foot, thats an example of how easily it will catch!...

9) Vasaline Soaked Cottonballs will catch a flame easily & with the patrolium jelly on them, they will burn for nearly 5-10 minutes depending on the amount applied! Be sure to have a backup Flint & Steel & cottonballs / dry tinder available in a seperate part of your pack incase you lose your kit

BE CAREFULL WHEN STARTING FIRES! MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN A WELL CONTAINED AREA!
