Love the close-up of the horse saying "wtf?!"

And is he handling that rifle properly?  Aren't you supposed to keep your trigger finger clear of the trigger area?  I'm not familiar with rifles, so please clarify.

18 That was one smokin' mass of AWESOME!

19 I am speechless.

20 I don't think Comrade Zero would approve of that racist teabagger guns and clinger friendly commercial. In fact, I would say he would shit his red undershorts.

Yes.

24 That was freakin' awesome. A politician with balls. And he calls everybody out right out of the gate. Def. not focus group, blow dried, and pampered, this one. His exhortation to give him the position is less of a request and more of a demand. I love it.

25 Finger goes to the trigger upon leveling the sights at the target, and not a moment before.

26 It's an awesome ad! What else can I say?

27 RNC should hire Vince McMahon as a promo consultant.

28 Aren't you supposed to keep your trigger finger clear of the trigger area? In general, yes; and most guys with military training do it by habit. But lots of old-timers keep the trigger hot. (I wouldn't recommend handling a firearm the way he's doing it, though.) Is that a Savage 30-30 lever-gun he's got there, or an honest-to-gosh Winchester? I can't tell. I love those cowboy carbines.

The hammer needs to be pulled back for the trigger to be hot. It's not, it's all the way forward which would probably mean there isn't a round chambered.

33 I would say he would shit his red undershorts SpiderMan Underoos.

FIFY

If you are, please show up and vote for Arlen Specter in the primaries. I am doing that.

 

Toomey will destroy specter, whereas Sestak would have a chance at beating Toomey.

 

So remember vote Arlen tomorrow.

There is either a rattlesnake or a democrat, but I repeat myself, right outside the frame, so he's just ready. I saw alot of these trigger comments on beta-male Hotair yesterday. I may be wrong, but he may have his finger on the trigger as a symbolic message? Sorta like Obama and his middle finger scratch.

43 maddogg - or to much familiarity and old bad habits.

Carrying a rifle with finger on trigger is about as bad a habit as you can get.

49 I once wandered into Dealey Plaza accidentally; it is near the main train station, which surprisingly had no cab I could find so I started walking.  It looks much different from what you see in videos.  I saw at least three people hawking guides for people wanting to take JFK tours.  I wonder how many of those guides tout conspiracy theories.

50 OT: Stock market is like watching Wile Coyote going over the same cliff time after time.  Good thing Barry has everything under control.

51 Regardless, we need to apologize to the Chinese for this

52 Is that a Savage 30-30 lever-gun he's got there, or an honest-to-gosh Winchester? I can't tell. I love those cowboy carbines.

I don't think it's a Winchester, but it's hard to tell.


And here I was thinking it was a Marlin 336 or 1894.

I agree, can't really tell cause I cant see the receiver.

53

So you want to get Alabama drunk and take advantage of it?

Why yes, yes I do.

The biggest reason I left there was to get as far away from the myriad preachers who insisted on imposing their Baptist ways on everybody all the time. Local and state politics were a joke, for the most part populated with good ol' boys, and if you weren't in that clique, tough shit.

Florida is a bit more in tune with the times and still had all the beaches and seafood I loved while growing up in Mobile. I also went to elementary school with Bradley Byrne, who taught me how to wiggle my ears.

maddogg, that rifle with the hammer in the forward position is just a big club and would generally indicate that there is no round chambered. It has to be pulled back for the trigger to work. If you want to tell the man how to carry his rifle though be my guest.

55

He's a Marine. Every Marine is a rifleman.

I love my model 94.

I have one too. John Browning's greatest civilian success, next to the 1911 .45 auto.. But the Marines teach you to keep your effin' finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

56 Obama is sending 8 probes to the gulf. Waxman to straighten everything out according to Rush.

57 People do all sorts of silly shit with lever guns that would give a range safety officer a stroke.

I am intimately familiar with the model 94. I can take it apart and put it back together. But I won't hang around someone who keeps their finger on the trigger, because I don't want to get fucking acidentially shot. Get it?

61 Someone at Hotair commented - "I was just waiting for him to shoot an Indian." Funny.

62 His finger isn't on the trigger at the end only for a second in an earlier shot.

63 because I don't want to get fucking acidentially shot. Get it?

No,  I will when you explain to me how pulling the trigger with the hammer forward will get you shot though.

64

I don't think Dale will get death threats, but then again, I didn't think LTC West would either.  From his blog:

Lastly, I addressed the true “party of political intimidation” last month, the Democrat party. And it did not take them one month to prove me right, and personally as well. Ron Klein decided to attack one of our campaign volunteers who just happens to work for a local news station. His subversive, immature, and petulant actions resulted in a very professional person to be confronted at her workplace, and publicly humiliated by the Palm Beach Post. As well, there has sprung up a “No West FL-22 Blog” in South Florida along with a “No West FL-22 Twitter” account. There are a couple of interesting twitter comments posted, “November is hunting season and there is no bag limit”, which is followed by this sent out 13 May at 8:30am, “I will skin you personally West”.

Funny, we did submit a police report but do you think it will get any attention. Do you think the mainstream media will report this twitter post?

What is at stake is America……how many more months can we take like this past 30 days. America is being led into a “Hurt Locker”.

Steadfast and Loyal,
LTC Allen B. West

65 maddogg, so you don't get all fancy racking rounds, I take. All the stupid shit we did with guns, it's a miracle I made it to HS. I think he is sending a message, acting as if he is ready to shoot - lead - manage AL multi-billion dollar Ag welfare roll - whatever.

66 It isn't a Savage 99.  It may be a Winchester 94 or Marlin 336C with that barrel band.  And I knew just as soon as I saw the finger on the trigger.... not good. 

67

Just called my cousins in Philly, registered dems, hate the dems, I made sure to tell them... vote for Spector, and then for Tommey in general.

Its supposed to rain in Philly tommorow, I hope people still go out and vote.

Yes, please everyone call anyone and everyone in PA, tell them to vote for Spector, I don't think PA has open primaries, so any dems in PA, Please vote for that Spector a$$hole!

68

Please, please stop the trigger finger crap (nip it in the bud really) and just enjoy the pure awesomeness of the commerical. Guess what, to people not familiar with the handling of weapons the microanalyzing of 4 to 5 seconds of video smacks of pretenious preening (ala MadisonConservative at Hot Air).

 

69 I salute this corpseman's service, but I question his divisive message.

70 Who on earth would support such a dummy?


Hahahaa, greatness

71 Does PA have a sore-loser rule that would prevent Specter from running as an independent if he loses the D primary?

No,  I will when you explain to me how pulling the trigger with the hammer forward will get you shot though.

Simple. It's a matter of habit. If your habit is to carry the weapon with your finger on the trigger, then you will do it with the hammer back too, out of force of habit. Gun safety is all about having good safety habits. Bad habits get people killed. All the rationalizations and excuses count for little when your friend is lying in the ground because you had a careless moment when you "forgot" the weapon was cocked.

75 If this is the kind of commercial he makes just for the Republican primary for Alabama Agricultural Commissioner, imagine the commercial he'd make if he ran for senator, governor or (sigh) President. Rhere wouldn't be a cattle rustler or bandito left in the country.

76 awesome  i like how he pulls the rifle out and around and it sorta points right at the camera for a second (i've only watched the ad once).  he's definitely sending a message.   i feel comfortable that he knows exactly what he is doing

77 Boll weevils tremble at the site of that farmer.

78 I agree, this man should be running for senate or govenor.

I think Onaroto or Wagner has the best chance to win the gov as dems. Personally I think Corbett will beat either of them.

So in the gov race I am voting for Williams, the crook from Philly, he has no shot at winning the generals

80 This guy lacks the common sense of Democrats.

84 " the crook from Philly," -- oxymoron?

85 Hell the guy is just running for Ag Commissioner.

Imagine what he will be packing when he runs for governor!

86

Does PA have a sore-loser rule that would prevent Specter from running as an independent if he loses the D primary?

Yes - and I am sad about that. Since Spector and Sestak would be fighting for the same voters - it would really clear the road for Toomey. Plus, then I could watch Arlin lose not once----but twice.

Is there? I didn't realize we had a rule that prevented indies.

I would doubt Specter would want to run as an independent. As much of a douche bag as he is, I think even he would know that if he can't win a primary in either party, then he can't win a general election.

It's with the firearms you think are safe that you have NDs and hurt someone. Even actors with prop guns they thought were "safe". If he keeps fingering the bang switch with his boogerhook, he will eventually pick up a loaded and in battery firearm he though was "safe" and have an ND.

These days, you follow the four rules. Period. If you don't know them, please look them up before you pick up a firearm.

Smart people make a point of learning from the fatal mistakes of others. Crap that was common practice last Century ain't tolerated by smart shooters these days.

First name, not last name.

134 Great guy. Great message. Lousy film editing. The choppy blocking, such as him getting off the horse, several times in a row, makes me dizzy. I'm sure they intended his message to be raw and passionate, but take a breath, dude!

135 fingering the bang switch with his boogerhook

Is that what the kids are calling it these days.

136 It's a little known fact that a swarm of bees has the ability to ascertain the "sweetness" quality of spilled crude oil. Bees can be used to determine the originator of a spill. In our town, a swarm of bees was released at some muck, in between the B-P, Sun, Pure and Esso plants. Most of those bees made a beeline for the Pure plant; about a quarter were split between Sun and B-P. Only the closest observers saw the solitary drone fly to the other refinery, but it did at least prove that there is one Esso bee in every crowd.  

137

Geez! Andress is a much stronger name to go with. And, her little "Twinkle" signature is just too precious to adorn legal documents.

(discussion going on at HotAir)

My first rifle larger in caliber than a .22 was a Model 94 30-30. I was 15 and that was 54 years ago. My rifle has ALWAYS been the Model 94, in various calibers, except for one year when I carried a Marlin 336. My rifle now is the Centennial Model 94 made in 1994 in .30 WCF.

As to the finger in the trigger guard, I can tell most of you commenting about it have never set a horse with a 94 in a scabbard or with a thong in the saddle ring looped over the saddle horn.

On horseback the 94 is carried with an empty chamber, hammer down or on half cock. The common way to pull the rifle out is with four fingers through the loop and the finger in the trigger guard. The trigger guard is an integral part of the lever and as it is actuated the finger naturally has to fall into the trigger guard. A person practiced with the 94 can draw the rifle and lever a cartridge into the chamber about as fast as someone else can disengage their safety on a normal rifle.

I logged many miles on a Quarter Horse named Star, with a thirty-thirty in the scabbard. I worked around many ranchers and cowboys and fence riders in Nevada for a while. Most of them carried a 94, just as I described, and handled it just like Peterson.

PetersonÂ’s 94, in the ad, looks like one of the later models, so it not only has a half-cock safety position and the safety tit under the stock, actuated by squeezing the lever against the stock, but also that damnable cross-bolt hammer block that Winchester added to satisfy the lawyers on the later models.

If Peterson really is a horseman and a Model 94 rifleman, then he was handling the rifle in much the way it has been handle by cowboys since 1895.

139 Ah, another good ole double post at AoSHQ.

Anyone keep a count?

Maybe each week when you all announce the top posters and socks, you could include the number of weekly double posts.

It would not be necessary to list who posted them twice, unless it was someone other than Ace.

140 142 Meanwhile, the Republican candidate for Alabama Public Service Commissioner is named Twinkle...

First name, not last name.

Oh my

141 128 But the Marines teach you to keep your effin' finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.

Uhh, do ya suppose maybe that aspect of the commercial was included intentionally?

As a not-so-subliminal subliminal message?

And that message would be? 

I don't know shit about guns or gun safety?

142 And that message would be?

Vote for me or I'll blow your head off.

143 #147

Hmm, good explanation. 

I never chamber my 40 Glock because I hate that worthless finger safety and I can chamber that thing with one smooth pull.  Safer to leave one out of the chamber until it's time to fire.

144 #147 - Thanks for reposting that Pam.  I was just going to make a snarky reference and let them go look for themselves.

145 Actually, THIS is the best political ad EVAH.

Unfortunately, it was made by the commies.

146 You have to understand the nuanced message of the "finger on the trigger". The finger on the trigger is symbolic of an excited state of preparedness toward eliminating graft and corruption and returning Alabama back into a righteous state....or something.

147 You have to understand the nuanced message of the "finger on the trigger". The finger on the trigger is symbolic of an excited state of preparedness toward eliminating graft and corruption and returning Alabama back into a righteous state....or something.

That's the liminal message.

148

You know what else from watching that political ad?

 

That type (breed) of manly men are slowing dying out on us. 

Show me anybody under age 40 that is as straight shooting, and none of that "I support..., BUT..." twisted logic.  We may have to find them only in veterans.

149

And that message would be?

That the time for more "jaw-jaw" has passed.

That our problems are too apocalyptic to be solved by "jaw-jaw".

That those of us who have no intention of being dragged over the cliff by the more insane elements of our society are actively making plans to keep from being dragged over the cliff.

That some of us fully intend to survive the coming apocalypse.

BTW, did you know that Obambi & the EU just prepared A ONE TRILLION DOLLAR BAILOUT PACKAGE because of a nation whose GDP is less than that of the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area?

A nation which is nothing more than a canary in a coal mine when it comes to the looming apocalypse that is dysgenic fertility in the civilized world?

A nation which is metaphysically incapable of ever even fantasizing about making the interest payments on the bailout, much less re-paying the principal?

In the coming apocalypse, even possessing gold won't do you any good - there will be only two commodities which will have any value whatsoever: Ammunition, and the gray matter between your ears.

Everything else will be worthless.

Well, I thought better of bees.  I am disappointed to hear that the bees would be so racist.

Damn racist bee-baggers !

151 Is it wrong for a heterosexual married man to feel weak in the knees with this ad?  This guy rocks!

152 He's scheduled for Glenn Beck's radio show tomorrow.

Calling Democrats criminals?  OH NOEZ!


It burns.

154 The Rifleman, more convincing than Chuck Conners. Pretty cool skipping the red truck, really back to basics.

Slinging that muzzle sure makes chickens and foxes blink, whichever being played by his political opponents. Alabama means business: $5 billion dollar budget, losing 3 family farms a day, and non-stop Democratic thieving, even from your own front yard during the dark of night.

Precisely why Janet Napolitano's first DHS memo was to target the veterans as radical extremists along with any conservative standing with the Constitution instead of floating downstream with the progressive tide of authoritarian feudalism.

156 Dale needs to shoot something to get my support!

My first rifle larger in caliber than a .22 was a Model 94 30-30. I was 15 and that was 54 years ago. My rifle has ALWAYS been the Model 94, in various calibers, except for one year when I carried a Marlin 336. My rifle now is the Centennial Model 94 made in 1994 in .30 WCF.

As to the finger in the trigger guard, I can tell most of you commenting about it have never set a horse with a 94 in a scabbard or with a thong in the saddle ring looped over the saddle horn.

On horseback the 94 is carried with an empty chamber, hammer down or on half cock. The common way to pull the rifle out is with four fingers through the loop and the finger in the trigger guard. The trigger guard is an integral part of the lever and as it is actuated the finger naturally has to fall into the trigger guard. A person practiced with the 94 can draw the rifle and lever a cartridge into the chamber about as fast as someone else can disengage their safety on a normal rifle.

Actually, that long winded explanation means exactly dick. An unsafe practice is an unsafe practice no matter how old it is. Remember when it was common practice to lose a couple of hundred men while building a major construction project? Well, that was due to unsafe practices. We don't do those unsafe practices any longer because they cause fatal accidents. We have time tested firearms safety practices developed by the military and the NRA. They work and they save lives. And I don't give a damn how the old timers did it.

158 157

> That type (breed) of manly men are slowing dying out on us. 

The habitual reaction of skepticism, nuance, and sophisticated doubt takes time to unlearn.

159 Saw this last night...makes me proud to be from Alabama.

For once, a video going nationwide that doesn't involve fire hoses and police dogs.

160

Man, we need a lot more Dale Petersons in this country. That ad was great. And I imagine every single libtard who saw that ad experienced an explosive head moment. I just loved it when he grabbed the rifle.

Could we make him Agriculture Commisioner for Florida too?

161

You have to carry a gun and scare people in order to be manly?  I mean, really?

I, for one is happy they're dying out on us.  The "manly" ones nowadays open carry when they go to Starbucks --------------

162 There's also a Tim James for Governor (Alabama) ad out there that is running off the charts in the the Frank Luntz approve-a-meter, wherein Mr. James promises to stop production of government forms in languages other than English. "In Alabama we expect you to speak English".

163 Finally.

164 And I don't give a damn how the old timers did it. Posted by: maddogg

The stupid ones open carry. No intelligent person that carries a sidearm for self protection, openly advertises the fact.

169 I'm goose pimplie all over.

170

Dale Peterson's next ad.

 

171 "Vote for me, I wear a cowboy hat and carry a gun."  No wonder  you right-wing nuts are all dewy over this redneck moron.

172 Unclefacts: Open Carry is not about self defense. It's about redefining our culture.

Queer rights parades worked for queers better than hiding in the closet. We gun owners do need to get in the victim-disarmament bigots' faces.

Once we have won on OC , we can start on public acceptance of hunting hobos.

173 hey, isnt it dangerous for him to have his finger on the trigger like that? i'd never go to the range with him!

174

Drew,

I didn't get a chance to comment this morning, but do you think there is any chance the people behind this were involved in that epic Cullman Liquidation commercial?

 

175 As a native born Texan I call shenanigans on this "Dale Peterson" person, he's stealing our schtick.  Everyone from Alabama entitled to talk this shit hightailed out for Texas by 1870...

I admit that some of them foks moved on to lesser states like New Mexico, Oklahoma, or even Idaho, but nobody east of Pier Road in Orange, Texas gets to talk this way.

176 I think I will send this guy a few bucks, just to pay for the ad which has to be the best political ad I have seen in a long time.

I am sick of the blow-dried "reach across the aisle" people.

I want warriors.   And I have been saying this on several blogs for some time,  and Gingrich should credit me.

177

I saw this at HA over the weekend and immediately pay-pal'ed $20 to his campaign.

Damn straight.

179 that is one bad mo fo...  and he's running for ag commish???   put this dude in charge of something really important.  talk about a no bs/take no prisoners ticket... christie and peterson 

180 That's a GREAT commercial. I sure hope that man wins. We could use him, and a lot more like him, in DC.

189 Jimmy Choo's beginnings can be traced back to his workshop in London Borough of Hackney, North London, which he opened in 1986 by renting an old hospital building. His craftsmanship and designs were soon noticed and he came to the verge of international notability when Jimmy Choo pumps were featured in a record eight pages in a 1988 issue of Vogue magazine. Patronage from Diana, Princess of Wales from 1990 onwards further boosted his image.
