Trump Derangement Syndrome is REAL! Professor Shoots Himself in Protest of Trump
Evidence strongly suggests the loon professor intended on killing himself, taping a $100 bill on the school’s bathroom mirror which read, “for the janitor.” Apparently the aftermath of the shooting was to be so gory that he felt bad for the clean-up person. Alas, his firearm ability only managed a shot to his arm.
Before we get to the story I want to say that, sadly, Trump Derangement Syndrome is real, and the afflicted are a real danger. This guy brought an illegal gun into the school. There’s really no telling what he was capable of doing. It is time to take this disease seriously, and the first step is awareness.

At iOTW report we want to do our part and recognize an organization that is spreading the word about this mental disorder.
I believe it is a national security issue.
Be a good citizen and display the ribbon. Put it on your car. Put it on your mailbox. Wear it on your shirt. Send the ribbon to the people in your life that may be afflicted, signaling to them that you support them and are hoping they get the help they need.
Tell them that you don’t want them to be desperate, in a bathroom with a gun, because they might accidentally shoot a Trump supporter, and that wouldn’t be good.
Go HERE to get your stickers. Keep them in your wallet and hand them to people when they go into their spittle-flecked rants, inanely disparaging the best president this country has seen in decades.

Review Journal-
Mark J. Bird was charged last month with discharging a gun within a prohibited structure, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and possessing a dangerous weapon on school property, court records show.
He was found bleeding from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his arm about 8:15 a.m. on Aug. 28 outside a bathroom in the Charleston campus K building.
The sociology professor was hired Aug. 26, 1993, and was an emeritus faculty member at the time of the shooting, college spokesman Richard Lake said. Bird was not scheduled to teach any courses during the fall 2018 semester.
Bird was employed with the college as of Tuesday, although Lake said it was not clear what disciplinary actions, if any, would be taken against him.
A 911 call was made after several CSN employees and at least one student saw Bird stumble out of the bathroom, bleeding, before he collapsed, the report said.
None of the witnesses — who later told police they only recalled hearing “a loud noise” — initially knew that Bird was armed and had shot himself, according to the report.
One college employee told police that he held Bird’s hand to calm him down as others tried to stop the bleeding. While waiting for authorities to arrive, Bird said he had shot himself in protest of President Donald Trump, police noted in their report. The report did not elaborate.

________________________________ Having seen a few suicides in my life.
Here is a little bit of advice. Mind you I am not condoning this or saying that you should do this!
But the only really effective way to do this follow these simple rules
A. Be Sober as booze really effects your aim a lot!
B. Do it outside as it is a lot easier to clean up afterward. But I have to give Bonus points for leaving a Tip. That did show some class!
C. Use the right gun that you have some experience with!
D. I suggest using any caliber above size of the 44 caliber.
E. That and if possible use either hollow points or semi wad cutters. Since they seem to ricochet less and lessen the chances of taking out somebody else. As the bullet might otherwise hit somebody else by accident.
F. Place the gun under the jaw, then press up & toward the back of your throat.
G. Squeeze the trigger don’t jerk it or you might miss!
H. When you get to Hell as a Suicide. (Hey, it is a Mortal Sin in most religions!) Don’t be a pussy because you belong here now for all eternity. So be a man and act like one!You idiot!
By the way, most of your friends and family are going to be really pissed off at you. Even if you do write the Suicide Note of all time.
Since most Folks hate Cowards & because most suicides are a cowardly acts of a very selfish & self centered jerk.
Grumpy – By the way this part is only a attempt at humor and in no way codons or encourages other to try & snuff them selves!
The next time some whining liberal tells you that capital punishment doesn’t prevent murder, feel free to quote this article (once you have done kicking them in the balls, that is):
In March, two men were convicted in Newcastle Crown Court of the murder of a 29-year-old mother of two, Quyen Ngoc Nguyen. In a pre-meditated crime of unimaginable depravity, Stephen Unwin and William McFall robbed, raped and bludgeoned this 5ft-tall nail bar manager.
They dumped her — possibly still alive — in her own car, which they then set alight. They posed for ghoulish selfies at the scene.
Both men were already convicted killers, released as a result of parole board hearings.
McFall, now 51, had been freed after serving 13 years for battering to death with a hammer an 86-year-old woman whose home he had burgled.
Unwin, ten years younger, had been released after serving 14 years of a ‘life sentence’ for stabbing to death a 73-year-old retired pharmacist in the course of a burglary — on Christmas Day, 1998. Unwin had sought to cover up his tracks by setting fire to his victim’s bungalow.
There is no parole board on earth which can know if someone is truly remorseful (pictured: Nick Hardwick, former Parole Board chair) +6
There is no parole board on earth which can know if someone is truly remorseful (pictured: Nick Hardwick, former Parole Board chair)
He was released in 2012, because the parole board had believed his claim to feel ‘deep remorse’.
Yeah, he was remorseful, all right. It bears no reminding that had these two bastards (and the others in the article) been executed, their subsequent victims would still be alive. Prevention at its finest.
Frankly, I think that the parole boards who freed these animals should also face the needle / chair / gallows. This was a basic precept of Hammurabic Law, and I for one regret its passing, in this respect at least.
Remember too that our Liberal Class want us to be more like Europe or Britain, and the modern-day “democratic socialists” have included the abolition of the prison system in their election manifesto.
Communistatis delenda est.
***From Splendid Isolation
This is one of the better condition Colts that I have seen in quite a while. As usually they have been rode hard & put away wet in the Glove Compartment!
It use to be that one could pick one of these up back in the 1970’s for a couple of hundred bucks. But those days are long gone! Now if you are lucky it is several hundred!
Doctor shoots himself dead while checking to see why his gun wasn’t working during celebratory gunfire at Turkish wedding By SARA MALM
A doctor has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while checking a misfiring gun at a wedding in Turkey.
Hasan Akdemir, 39, had been using a handgun to fire off celebratory shots in the air during the ceremony near the central Turkish city of Konya.
However, the weapon did not fire properly, and Dr Akdemir stopped to check why the gun was not working.
Tragedy: Dr Hasan Akdemir, a 39-year-old GP, had been using a handgun to fire celebratory shots at a wedding, and ended up shooting himself in the head when he checked the weapon
The gun went off in his hand and Dr Akdemir, a GP, ended up shooting himself in the head.
Police have launched an investigation into the incident amidst early reports that the gun misfired.
Eyewitnesses say Dr Akdemir pulled the gun from his belt and started firing shots into the air during the wedding in the town of Kozagac on the edge of the city.
The incident took place at a wedding ceremony near the central Turkish city of Konya
When it did not fire properly, he held it up to check it, which is when witnesses say he ended up shooting himself in the head.
An ambulance was called to rush him to the Atasehir State Hospital, but despite doctors’ best efforts, he could not be saved.
Konya is Turkey’s seventh biggest city in Turkey with a thriving economy that has seen it ranked among the country’s ‘boomer cities’.
____________________________________At least one too many booms it seems to me! Grumpy
Snub-nosed revolvers are, in one sense, the original concealed carry handgun. Their design has been around for a very long time. The modern Charter Arms Off Duty .38 retails for $419, meaning you can probably find it for less than that price if you [ track-link url=”https://www.gunsamerica.com/Search.aspx?Keyword=charter%20arms%20off%20duty” campaign=”CharterArmsRevolver” target=”_blank”] do your homework[/track-link]. The Off Duty is a classic snub-nosed revolver. It does very well as a primary concealed carry gun for anyone wishing to carry something small, lightweight, reliable and effective. As with most handguns, there are some features I enjoy, some I that don’t and some with which I could go either way. I give the Off Duty high marks for its weight and the ability to holster it in a pocket. I do not like the fact that it carries only five rounds, and I am on the fence about how well it shoots.
Love: Lightweight
The Off Duty weighs 12 ounces. That puts it in the category of “very lightweight guns,” which puts it in the other category of guns I love to carry because they are no burden. Sure, a lightweight gun has its drawbacks, but for a self-defense tool that will be carried a lot and shot very little, lightweight is more of an asset. I am more likely to carry a lightweight gun all day regardless of how I carry it. I can carry the Off Duty IWB, OWB, on my ankle and in my pocket. With the right IWB holster, I can carry the Off Duty in many locations on my person from 1 to 10 o’clock.
Love: Pocket Carry
Despite all the options available to me for concealed carry, the one I choose the most is pocket carry. That is not only because of the gun’s weight but also because of the gun’s small and easily concealed dimensions. Most of the time, I put the Off Duty into an Uncle Mike’s pocket holster. This soft-sided holster drops into a pocket and stays there thanks to a band of rubbery material around the middle which creates friction between the pocket and the holster. When in the pocket, the Off Duty’s cylinder prints the most, but in the Uncle Mike’s, it just looks like you have a large wallet in your pocket. The stocks sit plenty low and remain out of sight. Moreover, you can put this gun and holster combo in your pants pocket, jacket pocket, or in the larger pockets of cargo pants. Depending on a few factors, most of the time I can put my hand in my pocket, get a grip on the gun and still draw it out quickly.
Hate: Only Five Rounds
I can talk myself into “five to stay alive” better than anybody. It will be enough to get me out of trouble, to get me to cover or to get to another gun. Still, I simply wish it could hold more rounds. Some revolvers are six-shooters while some have seven or eight rounds, but few of those are the size and weight of the Off Duty. This is a compromise that I am willing to make (albeit reluctantly). Moreover, I really do not want to have to reload the Off Duty in the heat of the moment. It just takes longer and requires more dexterity to activate a cylinder release, push out the cylinder, depress the rod that ejects the spent brass, turn the gun over, insert the new rounds from the speedloader, close the cylinder and be ready to resume firing. I do not know if I will have that kind of time and ability in a self-defense situation. It would be so much easier to just squeeze the trigger again and again if need be.
Ambivalent: Ease of Shooting
I don’t love shooting the Off Duty, but I don’t hate it either. The .38s fly reliably from the barrel and strike the intended targets with few surprises, but the web of my hand takes a beating. At the range, I put about 20 to 30 rounds through it before tiring of the feel and noticing some of the gun’s mechanisms starting to slow as smoke and residue start to have their effect. It is nowhere near my “favorite guns to shoot” list, but it is near the top of my “favorite guns to carry” list. I shoot it because I carry it and because I will have it on me most of the time. The sights on this gun include a trench rear and blade front; they are difficult to see and use. Then again, I am not sure that I will be sighting this gun down in a self-defense situation. The rubber stocks are good for hanging onto, but I would not call them comfortable. I am willing to excuse all of this including the five-round capacity because the gun is so lightweight and easy to carry in the pocket.

The Remington Model 95 is a double-barrel pocket pistol commonly recognized as a derringer.
The design was little changed during a production run of nearly 70 years through several financial reorganizations of the manufacturer causing repeating serial number sequences.
Guns were offered with engraving or plain blued or nickel-plated finish with grips of metal, walnut, rosewood, hard rubber, ivory or pearl.
The earliest production had no extractors and have E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, N.Y. stamped on the right side of the barrel and ELLIOT’S PATENT DEC. 12, 1865 stamped on the left side of the barrel.
These inscriptions were swapped to opposite sides of the barrel when extractors were added in 1869.
In 1880, the inscription was changed to E. REMINGTON & SONS, ILION, N.Y. ELLIOT’S PATENT DEC. 12th 1865 and placed atop the barrel rib.
The barrel rib top inscription changed to REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION N.Y. in 1888 and again to REMINGTON ARMS U.M.C. CO. ILION, N.Y. in 1910.[2]
Remington manufactured more than 150,000 over-under double-barreled derringers from 1866 until the end of their production in 1935.[3]
The gun was made only in .41 Short rimfire. There are four models with several variations.
The first model, first variation is only the first 100 made and were marked “MANUFACTURED BY E. REMINGTON & SONS” on one side rib, and “ELLIOTS PATENT DEC 12 1865” on the other side rib. These are very rare.
The second variation is marked the same without the “manufactured by”.
The third variation has an extractor on the left side and is referred to as a “extractor cut.” The fourth variation is marked, “REMINGTONS ILLION NY” and is very rare.
The second model is marked on the top rib in two lines, “E REMINGTON & SONS ILION NY,” “ELLIOTS PATENT DEC 12 1865”. There are no variations.
In 1888 Remington went bankrupt and was bought by Hartley and Graham of New York.
The company name was changed to Remington Arms Co., and beginning in 1889 all Remington guns were marked with that name.
The third model was made in 6 variations, all marked, “”REMINGTON ARMS CO, ILION NY”. on the top rib. The variations are determined by the font style.
The first variation of the third models were serialized, but all other variations were marked in batches, not with serial numbers.
After the merger between Remington and UMC Cartridge Co in 1910, beginning in 1911, the fourth models were marked “REMINGTON-U.M.C.CO.ILION,N.Y.
Starting in 1922, all Remington guns were stamped with a two letter date code for the shipping month and year.
The second variation has strengthened hinges and serial numbers that begin with the letter “L”, These were marketed as the Model 95.
The third and final model has no side rib and is referred to as a “monoblock”. About 500 monoblocks were made through 1935, with only ten guns shipped after that.

In popular culture
Remington derringers often played critical roles in the exploits of James T. West, fictional Secret Service agent, in the American television series The Wild Wild West (1965 – 1969).
West carried up to three derringers: one as a concealed carry backup gun to his holstered and openly carried full sized revolver.
This derringer was carried either in a vest pocket or an inside pocket of his jacket. Another derringer was carried as a sleeve gun under his right shirt sleeve, and the third was broken into two parts with the barrel-chamber assembly hidden in the hollowed out heel of one boot and the frame hidden in the heel of the other.[4]
In “Judgment in Heaven” (S01E15; 1965 Dec. 22) of The Big Valley, Jarrod Barkley gives Heath a nickel plated pearlgripped Double Derringer as a Christmas present.
Paladin, of Have Gun, Will Travel (1957 – 1963), kept a Remington Double Derringer behind his gunbelt’s buckle.[5]
J.B. Books, portrayed by John Wayne, in The Shootist (1976), carried a Double Derringer by his wallet.[6]
In the Simpsons episode “Simpsons Tall Tales” the characters Bart and Nelson are portrayed as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The two start a barroom brawl on a Mississippi river gambling boat, in which the bar patrons fire comically weak Derringer pistols. The bullets all bounce off glass bottles, glass beer mugs, glass windows and their intended victims and they escape unharmed.
