A man fired from a south central Nebraska grain complex....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Still early and I had to read that a few times to figure out that ‘fired’ = ‘job termination’.....
Rarely do I go anywhere nowadays without CCW....ESPECIALLY a place that’s supposed to be a gun free zone.
Old Electraglide here and a CCW and my Kimber is my best friend here in Florida.
I work in an office that has a policy for CCW license holders, including keeping our firearms secured in our desks. It’s the only reason I am able to ride the bus to work. My boss is a retired B-52 pilot who is, fortunately, not insane.
Great idea. Pepper spray not so helpful. Bag of cheetos even less helpful except in those times when really hungry and no active shooter to eat the liver from.
Another link.
That is near my back home family.
In grain facilities, you have one for pest control.
I have never understood how breaking the glass is supposed to put out a fire, or protect agains zombies.
Used to stop the killing.
Of self and friends
Friends don’t die for you the kill for you.
Almost like old home week here. I’ve never been to the end of the line, but used to take the Lincoln-Superior Stage Lines bus from from the University in Lincoln to near home on occasion.
I see from the corn pile on the video that harvest is well along.
Same here, on my father’s side of the family.
