In contrast to Linoge’s “Unencumbered stupidity”, and the sad events that transpired with the “santa shooting” near Los Angeles, I’d like to present some positive self-defense firearm articles from across the country, courtesy of America’s First Freedom, January 2009:
For future reference: Cell phones do not survive a full cycle in a washing machine.

First, I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas all over again.
Second, it would appear as though I have been writing at this particular web address for the past three years, and online in [...]
Well, I realize that by telling more people about this, I decrease my overall chances of winning, but considering that I have never won… anything… in my life, I am not holding my breath.

Just as fair warning, Better Half and I will be embarking on a country-spanning, visit-the-families-for-the-holidays trip starting… today, and posting will probably be rather light in the future. Shane should still be around here somewhere, so if he decides [...]
Ok, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, live, in one word: Awesome.
There is simply no other way to describe that experience. More later, once I regain my hearing and get some [...]
Speaking anecdotally, I knew of at least 3000 service members from the Marine Corps and Navy who missed Christmas at home last year, myself included. We deployed the month before, and celebrated Christmas somewhere around a little collection of [...]
You know, if the BATFE has not started regulating NERF guns, they bloody well had better start – I mean, something like this, having a maximum cyclic rate of 500 rounds a minute (before it melts), could [...]
While I may have escaped the clutches of the evil People’s Republic of Kalifornistan, I still keep up with what is transpiring back there, and I have recently received a few interesting emails from the CalGuns folks [...]
Mr. Completely seems to be feeling at least a little better – he wrote a rather interesting post on the various and sundry distinctions between all the different forms of steel target shooting. Definitely worth a read, [...]
Well, a few days ago, I posed the following hypothetical situation: when a woman is faced with an armed, aggressive attacker, how would the outcome be different if the first thing she reached for was her lawfully concealed firearm, [...]
A crumbling economy, more than 2 million constituents who have lost their jobs this year, and congressional demands of CEOs to work for free did not convince lawmakers to freeze their [...]
What the hell.
After my rant yesterday, I went ahead and registered for my first IDPA match at one of those five nearby ranges. If nothing else, it will let me know [...]
Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry, has died. She was 76. Roddenberry, an actress who appeared in numerous “Star Trek” TV shows and [...]
One of the byproducts of living within an hour’s distance of about five different ranges (sometimes I really like this state) is that I have a plethora of choices available to me when it comes to competitive shooting – [...]
I am not a home designer, but I do know this: putting the closet and bathroom of a master suite at opposite diametrically opposite corners of the master bedroom is just frakking stupid. Stop doing it [...]
You know, it is asinine, ignorant, idiotic, and racist gos-se like this that really gets on my nerves sometimes.
First, did the author give a crap about Mrs. Bush, or Mrs. Clinton, or Mrs. Bush (wait [...]
In searching and searching for a complete AR-15 upper in this absurdly-high-demand market, I have been trying just about every source, supplier, manufacturer, and assembler I can lay my grubby hands on. One of the more recent shots in [...]
It is that time of the year again, othergunnies are putting up their Christmas lists, and since I seem to be running a bit dry on material at the moment, I figure I may [...]
I. There are approximately two billion children (persons under 18) in
the world. However, since Santa does not visit children of Muslim,
Hindu, Jewish or Buddhist [...]
New toy.
And considering that Better Half and I are considering building a new house now, and that this thing looks like an outstanding way to fiddle around with floorplans, I may not be heard from for a few [...]
Well, I went ahead and did it today – I got my happy ass in line for a Del-Ton Inc.16in. Mid-Length Custom Upper. Granted, Sarah quoted me a turnaround time of about four months, [...]
Well, it would appear as though a visitor from Macedonia, Ohio (where the frak is that?) clocked in as my 50,000th visitor at about 1600 eastern time this afternoon (assuming I am reading my StatCounter page right, which is [...]
You know, I am not really sure which is worse: Option 1: Sticking something in the handle of a gas pump to keep the system running while you go inside to grab a soda… and leaving it long [...]
When a craftsman tells you to come back in three or four months to get a product from him, you know you are a leetle behind the demand curve…
Bugger [...]
In yet another tragedy of mortality, the legendary Bettie Page died today.
Though she has been out of the public eye for quite some time now (at her own request – “I don’t want to [...]
So the “ammunition accountability” bills running loose throughout state legislatures across the union are complete and utter loads of gos-se, for some blazingly obvious, and interestingly non-obvious reasons.
First, this entire concept is going to be [...]
Far be it for me to tell anyone else what to do with their money, but Better Half and I just got back from dropping off a box-load of goodies at a Toys for Tots location, and [...]
“I am thus far a Quaker, that I would gladly agree with all the world to lay aside the use of arms, and settle matters by negotiation: but unless the whole will, the matter ends, and I take up my musket and thank heaven he has put it in my power.” by Thomas Paine
