kind of figures

Better Half: “Heh, ‘Governator’.”
Me: “Oh, right, he’s campaigning now. Who’s he campaigning for?”
Better Half: “McCain.”
Me: “Really? That’s kind of surprising.”
Better Half: “No it’s not.”
Me: “He’s not a Republican, dear.”
Better Half: “Yes he is.”
Me: “No he’s not.”

no silencers here

Hm. I think we need a Sluggy-style recap:
Dan Cooper supports Senator Barack Hussein Obama – arguably, a man who would prove to be the most anti-gun President in history.
Gunbloggers express their displeasure

dressing the part

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…

interesting

Apparently, Epsilon Eridani might have planets within its solar system.
Now, to you non-uber-geeks, that news is probably being met with an, “Oh, that’s nice.” And while the uber-geeks already know where I am going with this, I will explain anywise: a certain science officer, onboard…

reactions, repercussions, and resignations

I recently penned this elsewhere:

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

sensor ping LI

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.

faster than a speeding bullet

Dan Cooper has been asked to resign as the President of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Inc.

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.

The employees,

no such thing as “overkill”

A surefire indication I will like a movie:

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…

fish in a barrel

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…

thinly veiled scumbags

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…

out of my pie

You know what, this “spread the wealth” crap is really starting to get on my gorramed nerves:

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

[...]

turncoat

Dan Cooper is the owner and founder of Cooper Firearms of Montana, a company that creates absolutely gorgeous, accurate, high-quality, custom rifles. Dan Cooper also supports Senator Barack Hussein Obama. Needless to say, I cannot really reconcile a firearm manufacturer/owner supporting a massively anti-Second-Amendment, anti-Constitution Presidential…

making ripples

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.

from the inside

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,…

playing with boxes

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:

i sense a pattern

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…

all I have to say

… is that 2000 rounds of ammunition weighs a gorramed metric ton.
Urg.

keeping up with the joneses

You know, this whole job thing is really getting in the way of my writing weblog posts. Kind of annoying, really.
First up, we have some local Knoxville blogger completely missing the point on why people are buying guns in increasing numbers. I was going to make…

pre-halloween fright

If you want a picture of what Senator Barack Hussein Obama supporters are looking forward to with his possible victory, examine these two comments by “Tracy”:

I will close with the unvarnished truth. The party is OVER for the right wing, John Birch, “Bolshevik

i never would have guessed

Senator Barack Hussein Obama is a socialist, and always has been.
(Image courtesy of the WorldNetDaily and the New Zeal Blog.)
And, obviously, those socialistic tendences have stuck with him for the past few years.
Oh, and if Senator Barack Hussein Obama’s

two boxes checked

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…

protest too much

A guy’s house gets shot up after he puts up signs supporting Senator John McCain.
A woman gets robbed, and then assaulted and mutilated after the robber sees her support of Senator John McCain.
If this is how Senator Barack Hussein Obama

[...]

self-fulfilling prophets

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.

lightbringer amongst us

Oh, and for all of you who are annoyed at me and individuals like me who sarcastically refer to Senator Barack Hussein Obama as “The One“, “Obamamessiah“, “The Savior“, and other similar terms, I present you with this:

… nuff said.

bidenian slip

Senator Joe Biden simply cannot keep his feet out of his mouth:

“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

democratic deception

If there is one thing that the Clinton administration taught the Democratic Party, it is that if you repeat a lie enough times, people treat it as the truth. And make no doubt about it – it is a lie.
Folks, this race is far from…

fueling standards

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…

next stop, port zero

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.

on a silver platter

The bad news is that Laura Washington is back writing again. You know, the ignorant hoplophobe who wants to disarm all law-abiding Americans, and who was the driving force behind the founding of the People of the Gun?
Yeah, that idiot.
Well, the…

standing ovation

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

never knew what hit them





I love this time of year.

just as well

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…

changing the rules

Joe speaks out:

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

chemical shininess

Thanks to a good thwack upside the head from Andy, the RCA Victor LP/Alcohol cabinet has had a fresh coat of Krylon spray paint and then multiple coats of polycrylic applied to its internals and top, and seems quite unwilling to shed…

you think that’s a reflection on us?

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…

worth a thousand words



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.

why i shoot

“The wheel keeps on turnin’, Badger.”
“That only matters to the people on the rim.”
In a fit of karmic coincidence, I happened to answer Roberta X’s question almost two years ago, and almost a year before that too, and

and now for something completely different

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.

[...]

not a chance in hell

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 –…

cutting it close

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…

[...]

not really news

Senator Barack Hussein Obama lies.
But, like I said, this is really nothing new.
In all honesty, I simply cannot comprehend why he is fairing so well in this election… he has finally exposed his anti-capitalistic, anti-growth, anti-success, anti-initiative self for all the world to see,

photographic overload

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.
