Firing five shots each of factory loaded ammunition my Springfield XDS averaged 748 feet per second, with a standard deviation of 12 ft/ per second.  David "The Marine"Elderton’s Colt 1911 averaged 832 feet per second with a standard deviation of 7 feet per second.  You can easily see the 1911 won the comparison.  Whereas the XDS is more concealable and easier to carry, you can certainly see the difference in muzzle velocity and consistency.

     A couple of days ago I told you about David Wtihrow, who accidently brought a gun to school and was expelled and charged with a fellony.

    I mentioned the kid should dig deep, admit he broke a rule, and take his punishment.  The only thing he was really guilty of was not being very clever hiding his gun.  Today we learn he will have a happy ending.

     This morning a group of Mothes Against Gun Violence were marching outside the Matthews Office Building. (MOB). 

      What they protesting?  Why were they there?  What did Lee Matthews say to make them so mad?  We have yet to find out.  Calls to their office were met with a recording the phone had been disconnected.

     Good question Diane.  Most members of the movement didn’t have sick or annual and professional leave because most of them didn't have  jobs!  They 1- were still in school and living off student loans or trust funds, 2-just out of school, looking for work and living off student loans or trust funds, or 3-had lost their job and were back in school living off student loans or trust funds.   It sounds like I’m making a joke but I’m not.

     The Obama campaign launched a massive behind the scenes effort to organize this movement using social media, inticing them with a policy of forgiven student loans, cheap housing, and taxes on evil companies that don't pay enough and are not hiring them.  It worked.  The movement motivated those that don't normally pay attention to politics to register to vote; and vote for Obama. Now the goal has been reached, there is no longer a need for them. 

     Many on Facebook and other sites are expressing their outrage at this story.

     An Eagle Scout faces felony gun charges because he forgot about his shotgun in his car.  When he went to the office to call Mom to ask her to come get it, he was overheard and imediately charged with a gun felony.  The kid did his Senior project on gun safety. 

     Whereas I understand the idiocy of felony charges being filed, the lack of common sense when it comes to no exception gun free zones, and a complete lack of criminal intent in this case, I think the kid should take his medicine.  If you are an active shooter and done your Senior project on gun safety you would know how strict gun laws are, the penalties of certain gun laws,  not to bring your gun on school grounds at all costs, and finally not to admit it if you did!
