found: one demographic

We had the fortune of stumbling across some relatively nice-but-inexpensive bed and breakfasts during our shopping trip last weekend, and one of the innkeepers had a pink pistol on her “to buy” list.
Or, rather, it was on her husband’s. She and he had just recently acquired their concealed…

no surprise here

Well, these folks’ votes were pretty much already a given, but there they are.
The Highland Green beauty is still at the dealership, though they have not come down in price agian yet. Oh the choices, the choices.

how crazy is that?

If this comes as a surprise to anyone, they are either bleeding morons or legally dead.

A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS: “Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going

off and saw the wizard

So, apparently, way back in the day, all American-made furniture was made in the vicinity of Hickory and High Point North Carolina, and the towns around them. These days, those same companies that used to exclusively produce in the area still maintain clearance centers, outlets, and…

sensor ping XLIX

Considering my blatant abuse of the LinkFest system over the past two days, I figured I woud put up one of these by way of appeasement. The general premise is that you are free to ping this post (and every other post in this category), as long as…

speech under fire

Behold: the commercial Senator Barack Hussein Obama does not want you to see.
Yes, his presidential campaign (specifically, a character by the name of Robert F. Bauer) has sent a cease-and-desist letter to news channels in Pennsylvania and Ohio, threatening their FCC broadcast licenses if…

[...]

questioning the future

So before I embark on a long weekend of furniture shopping (longer story), here is a fun little question for my fellow People of the Gun:
Should the worst happen and Senator Barack Hussein Obama is elected President, what would be your purchases between November 4th and…

[...]

look like an idiot

A worthy cause? Check.
A famous man? Check.
A cunning piece of headgear? Check.
Complete and utter geekery? Uber-check.
Cannot say as though I can swing $1259.56 (at the time of this post) for a hat, especially when there are a variety…

out of control misconceptions

In some of my mindless stumbling about the internet today, I happened across this piece by Patrick Dorfer, hosted at We The People Politics. Patrick is a senior at Mount Saint Mary College, and the site was created “to provide an opinion, a perspective,…

[...]

you know you want to

Well, with just under two weeks left before the Gun Blogger Rendezvous, Para USA has announced that they will donate a pistol of unknown make or model to the convention. Of course, while we do not know what the firearm will be, exactly, I honestly doubt…

[...]

spreading the word

I honestly had no idea that Oleg Volk founded The High Road forums, but that gunny-ignorance is only outshined by the fact that I do not really frequent those forums… at all. Ignorance or not, and visitor or not, however, I have nothing against supporting him…

[...]

plainly in black and white

From Senator Barack Hussein Obama‘s very own webpage (by way of Traction Control):

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police

[...]

rhetorical quiz

I already know I disagree with Senator Barack Hussein Obama on just about every count under the sun, but I went ahead and took this little test out of morbid curiosity. It turns out that I do not disagree with him nearly as often as I…

second-suckiest


I can live with second place.
Oh, and by the way, they still suck.

einsteinian insanity

Yesterday, a shooter (who will remain nameless in this post – murderers have given up the privilege to have their existences remembered) killed ten people in a small college outside the town of Kauhajoki, in Finland. This, just like every murder, is indeed a tragedy, and my condolences…

[...]

hammer-ing slammer-ing

Even David Drake is taking a chunk out of Biden’s most recent lies these days. I have to admit… Biden is a hell of a lot worse at painting himself into a corner than any other political candidate I have seen in a while… I mean, at least…

[...]

abject laziness

So this is my linky-no-thinky post for today.
The “American Hunters and Shooters Association” is NOT pro-gun, pro-gun-rights, or pro-self-defense (or even really pro-hunters or pro-shooters). Anyone claiming that they are is either maliciously deceiving you, or willfully ignorant at this point. Period. Full stop. End of…

[...]

contained leakage

I think I just failed as a gun-nut.
For our move, some things I just left in the containers they lived in normally. For instance, all of my firearm cleaning supplies remained inside the .50-caliber ammunition cans they are generally stored in. This worked perfectly fine (those cans will…

[...]

god, grant me moderation

But not yet, God, not yet.
In the week since I test-drove it, the bloody thing dropped $3000. They are very rapidly reducing the distance between my desire to keep my money and their desire to take it…
I mean, stylistically, this is what a Mustang…

repeat application

Godwin’s Law:

As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.

Linoge’s Adaptation:

As an online discussion about the 2008 American elections grows longer, the probability of the invocation of “racist” approaches one.

By a show of hands, anyone else getting tired…

bi-wheel concealment

Random question for today: I cannot be the only law-abiding gun owner who regularly rides a bicycle (yes, I said “bicycle”, not “motorcycle”, though if the answers for both are more-or-less equivalent, feel free to weigh in). With that in mind, what do you all carry, and where…

[...]

resurrecting the dead

One of the byproducts of our most-recent move is that Better Half and I have realized just how little we have in the way of furniture. Two dressers, a bed, two futons, an arm chair, a desk, a desk chair, and three particleboard bookshelves (only 2ish of which actually survived…

[...]

just a little suggestion

Something every bachelor needs: A crock pot.
1. It is almost easier to use than a TV dinner, and makes food that is several orders of magnitude better.
2. It is a great way to show off to girlfriends that you do, indeed, cook… while doing so at…

digital shininess

All fourteen episodes of Firefly.
All online.
And all free.
Granted, they are slightly out of order, but what better way to introduce the uninitiated to the shininess that is the Firefly ‘verse?

[...]

irony spelled “alpha tango foxtrot”

I could not quite decide whether to file this report by the Associated Press as humor or firearm-related:

The ATF lost 76 weapons and hundreds of laptops over five years, the Justice Department reported Wednesday, blaming carelessness and sloppy record-keeping.

Thirty-five of the missing handguns,

keeping up appearances

Ok, so you have probably noticed a few obvious changes to the site, and there have been a few additional not-so-obvious changes. Time for the run-down.
1. The “We Remember” banner on the upper left corner is there courtesy of Mauser Girl. I had to tinker with…

showin’ da bling


Yessiree, ladies and gentlefolk, that is none other than yours truly finally wearing his Unorganized Militia Propaganda Corps swag. Long story made short, I finally unpacked the jean jacket a few days ago, bought some fabric glue a day or two later, and put it all to…

full of sound and fury

Do you talk too much in your blog?Somehow, I figured this. Hell, even now, with this image off to the left, I cannot help but to add my own little two cents to the overall post. Long winded? Me? Well, apparently, only 26% more long-winded than most people. Or something.

[...]

excessive copy-pasting ahead

Ever since reading his work, Freehold, I have been something of a Michael Z. Williamson fan – no great surprise there, eh? Decent writer (or, at least, hellaciously better than me, which, granted, is no large task), strong small-l-libertarian leanings, a healthy respect of and for self-reliance and…

[...]

appellation artifice

So apparently the deceptive and misleading fake-”pro-gun”-group American Hunters and Shooters Association has endorsed Barack Hussein Obama. This is no great surprise to anyone paying attention, since Barack Hussein Obama is the most rabidly anti-gun Presidential candidate to grace American politics for a while,…

[...]

sensor ping XLVIII

Well, since the last one is about to scroll its way off the bottom of the page, time for another one. The general premise is that you are free to ping this post (and every other post in this category), as long as you link back to it. Consider it…

[...]

full-force feedback

So how does this fit into Rule 2 and 3?

Honestly, the entire Novint Falcon concept sounds absolutely wonderful, and definitely something that seems to be custom-built for the FPS empire… Or it could be something like…

typing without thought

I have to admit, insipid, vapid nonsense like this really gets on my nerves sometimes. To save you the trouble of clicking on that link and subjecting yourself to the nonsense contained therein, I have quoted the section relevant to this particular post below:

2. Re. Gun

taking fire

You know, when you get right down to it, Dawn of War really is not that good of an RTS game, especially compared to some of the greats. This is somewhat understandable, considering that the mechanics, story,…

here cavalry, cavalry, cavalry

So I have two “help me” questions today, and my Google-magic is failing me on both counts.
First, my aforementioned issues with SiteMeter. Opera does not have the same problem as IE7, so I can only assume that it is an IE fault with dynamic redirects or…

[...]

dumbing it down

Is anyone else not terribly impressed with SiteMeter‘s new, “improved” version?
I admit it – I am a cheap-assed bum, and run their free version, so it has always been a neutered and lobotomized tool for me. However, one of the useful aspects of it…

faster than a speeding bullitt

I made the mistake of test-driving a 2009 Ford Mustang Bullitt today, just for the fun of it. The Ford dealership in town is placed perfectly – I have to drive past it to get almost anywhere, and the brightly-written “Bullet” (yes, they spelled it that way) on…

[...]

just a little creepy

River Tam (otherwise referred to as Summer Glau) plays a mean Terminator. I guess she just does the whole, “I can kill you with my brain/hands/feet/whatever-is-handy” schtick pretty well – and who is going to argue with this watching your back? (*Waits for the…

note to self

Have paper towels handy when first using pens that spent the past three months in un-air-conditioned shipment and storage.

gun blogger rendezvous 2008

Yessiree, ladies and gentlemen, I will be there!
You heard right – amazingly enough, despite moving twice in the past three months, despite employment being up in the air, and despite having to cross the country, I will actually be attending the Gun Blogger Rendezvous this year.…

[...]

dress me up and call me shirley

W00t.
I had one – count it, one – job interview, the first job interview of my entire, short, little life, and I just got back a job offer for only slightly less than I was making in the military (which is completely understandable and expected, given all of the…

radioactive gene pool

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the story of of a Spore. Not just any spore that would cause you hayfever, or start growing into some nasty green-and-blue glop, but rather what appears to be a thoroughly engaging and entertaining new game from Maxis.
Anywise, Better Half…
