Attire for tomorrow: Black boots (sadly, I do not have brown ones, and neither are my black ones calf-length… need to remedy that at some point), khaki pants, brownish-red shirt, brown coat. I am missing suspenders, but I guess those are not entirely essential… Of course, that said, stores these…
Speaking as one of those people who will be boycotting Cooper Firearmsuntil such time as Dan Cooper steps down from being President of that company, I think it is safe to say that some of the people commenting on
It is once again time for me to make amends for abusing the system… 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 free Google PageRank inflation, or something. …
In response to the recent article highlighting Dan Cooper’s personal political donations, the board of directors, shareholders and employees of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc would like to issue the following statement.
MPAA Rating: R for pervasive strong bloody violence, sexuality and some language.
Granted, it was filled with the typical overshooting of magazines, lead-core bullets sparking on everything (including concrete), the hero never missing and the bad guys being inable to…
Better Half and I headed down to Atlanta this weekend, to hang out with some old college friends, and to take a gander at the new Georgia Aquarium. Given t hat Georgia has reciprocity with both Florida and Tennessee when it comes to concealed carry, I went ahead…
I spent the past four-or-so years of my life around sailors and sea-going types, so I happened to pick up all manner of interesting ways to describe people, their genetic lineage, their behaviors with each other and other species, and all the rest of that fun stuff. Sadly, none…
House Democrats recently invited Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor at the New School of Social Research, to testify before a subcommittee on her idea to eliminate the preferential tax treatment
Ok, my last set of pictures was boring. I admit it. This should make up for it: The image was taken using “Schlieren Photography“, which was initially used to detect flaws in glass. I like this application better. (Image provided by Gizmodo.)
Michael S. Malone has been around the block a few times when it comes to the “main-stream media” – his writings over the past 25+ years have shown up in papers ranging from the San Jose Mercury News to The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Forbes. Additionally,…
After ordering a thousand rounds of .308 Winchester before, I kind of figured my most-recent order would come in similar packaging. Suffice to say, I was wrong. Inside of an unassuming (apart from the “ORM-D” label) UPS box, was this monstrosity:
Back on the 8th of this month, I ordered an LED-array replacement for my Mazda 3′s third brake light, to go with the LED map, dome, glove box, boot, license plate, and reverse lights I already installed. Call me a “ricer” if you want, but my car looks pretty damned…
If you want a picture of what Senator Barack Hussein Obama supporters are looking forward to with his possible victory, examine thesetwo comments by “Tracy”:
I will close with the unvarnished truth. The party is OVER for the right wing, John Birch, “Bolshevik
Well, I now have two thousand little pieces of lead, brass, and gunpowder headed my way. I figured that since the election is in less than two weeks, and that there will probably be a large number of like-minded people raiding all the ammunition they can find before said…
If this comes as any surprise to anyone, you have been legally dead for the past two years:
Media coverage of John McCain has been heavily unfavorable since the political conventions, more than three times as negative as the portrayal of Barack Obama, a new study says.
“Mark my words,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of his two Seattle fundraisers Sunday. “It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The
I just paid the cheapest price for gas I have paid since 28AUG07 – over a year. And, as you can see by the image to the right, gas prices in my particular area are, amazingly enough, lower than than they were a year ago. So, I guess, all…
Best weblog name ever: Hiro’s Storage Unit. And, no, it is not because the owner let me play with his automatic FNC… Althought my opinion could have something to do with reading this book far too many times.
Ok, I suck. I have not yet written a follow-up to the Gun Blogger Rendezvous. Life is a bear sometimes. However, that said, it is time for some thanks. First, a big, honkin’, browncoat-style feichang ganxie goes out to Mr. Complete and
It is probably better that I did not end up purchasing the Bullitt – this looming election is convincing me to spend far too much money as it is. Current shopping list is: 1000 rounds of 9mm 1000 rounds of .308 (Yes, I know, 1000 rounds…
Joe Wurzelbacher, a plumber from Holland, Ohio, told Mike Huckabee on his Fox News talk show Saturday that he is upset by the attention and has been unable to work with reporters crowded on his front lawn.
“The media’s worried about whether I’ve paid my taxes, they’re
Well, whether you have thought about it or not, Christmas is fast approaching. Honestly, I have not thought about it much either, but that is because I am a procrastinator extraordinaire. That said… Everything I Need to Know About Life I Learned from Firefly is newer and…
Images borrowed from Mostly Cajun and RedPlanetCartoons.com, by way of Smallest Minority. I really could add nothing to either of those images, save that I find both of them to be disturbingly accurate renditions of the current American sociopolitical climate.
Unlike the past video, this one is just funny as hell. I guess this explains why Pavlov did not bother trying to experiment with cats – the feline just keeps getting up on the counter, despite calling down the Wrath of the Blender Incarnate on itself repeatedly. …
Speaking as a law-abiding gun owner, I understand the importance of safe firearm storage, keeping firearms away from children and criminals, and ensuring the safety and security of high-value material investments. That said, this stuff is just gorramed crazy. The original video is here –…
In more ways than one. Almost 90 days ago, I applied for a Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit. Normally, that would involve getting myself fingerprinted, taking a Handgun Carry Permit safety course, and filling out some miscellaneous paperwork. Then, the folks in Nashville get ahold of it, run a background…
The following is a collection of photographs I took at Gun Blogger Rendezvous III. They are more or less in chronological order, and, yes, it did snow. If you want me to edit/remove any of the pictures, just drop me a note.
