To the people of Sequoyah County, Oklahoma
I am joining many other Sheriffs across Oklahoma, who have declared their counties to be Second Amendment sanctuaries. It is my intention, by making this declaration, to enforce our lawful citizens’ rights to bear arms, as guaranteed by the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. The 2nd Amendment clearly outlines citizens can have firearms in their homes for self-defense, so long as they are law-abiding citizens and are not otherwise prohibited to possess firearms. I swore an oath to the constitution and will always stand by that oath.

Because America.

The US Navy Utility Knife, Mark 2

One time at a shop on Camp Eggers, I bought an Operation Iraqi Freedom Ka-Bar. It was stamped Army, but the paint job had an aircraft carrier on it, and I was a carrier Sailor who spent a lot of time with Army units, and I always wanted a Ka-Bar, so I got it. Because they are presentation knives, a friend of mine got me a nice little stand for it. I eventually stripped the paint off the blade, blued it, and blackened the leather with shoe polish. I bought a black leather sheath for it at AG Russell. I used it as a field knife until it recently started looking like a boomerang.

Now that Ka-Bar is producing a US Space Force variant of their famous fighting knife, which is simultaneously a joke and a serious tool/weapon, I may get one. Although I prefer the Vietnam-style all-black look, as far as space knives go, the Space Force Ka-Bar is certainly better looking than the Case Astronaut Knife – and less expensive.
