Battle tested

Once again, I had to go to Mountain View Cemetery to scrub some markers so I could shoot them tomorrow. I could not resist this bold statue because I thought the Cemetery group would like this better than my usual canard shots. On my way to the target plot, I wondered about this statue and if I knew who it was. Actually, it was a memorial to the 1816 - 1865 dead in the uncivil war... and they thought they put it to rest. They never factored in the rise of racists to the very highest levels in the US.

 

I noticed he is aiming the flintlock at his shoulder. That's gonna hurt when it goes off. Frankly, that's why I believe in the letter of the law of the Second Amendment. I firmly believe the US idiots should be allowed to carry as many firearms as they can and fire them as fast as they can. Ah, but of course the Framers only recognized flintlocks as firearms so today's meatheads better get really fast at reloading! Whatya 'speck one shot a minute. Hell I'd rush some bozo after he fired. The nutcases better be very careful brandishing the Second Amendment.

 

I have most of my markers shots for the genealogy project finished and made my way over to Longmont's Mountain View Cemetery to find missing family plots. After securing a initialed map and Find A Grave, I headed back to wrap up my current assignment after I shot this marker. Now, I have a load of scrubbing to do.
