best of the worst, part the second

Ok, so the longer write-up to go on top of my previous comments is that I had the pleasure of partaking of an indoor, IDPA-ish shooting competition today at Gunny’s Indoor Range. Caleb was there, along with 21 other shooters, and even Uncle stopped by to say hi. This …

best of the worst

Well, I did get summarily spanked by Caleb, and scored 16th out of 23, but I still managed to walk home with a Mossberg 500, thanks to some funky-assed Lewis scoring system (I was the best of the lower third of shooters). I consider that a win, especially considering …

educational experience

I am totally about to be owned by someone who can draw, bead, and shoot in less than .5 seconds, but I am off to my first IDPA-ish event. Supposedly there will be prizes, including a 1911 and a few shotguns.
Maybe I will walk out with a magazine …

aliens vs. vikings

How is it that I am just now finding out about Outlander, and how is it that it only got a limited release?

As an age old battle rages amongst the stars, Kainan’s ship burns brightly as it crashes into the Nordic coast. As his space craft comes to

sensor ping LVI

Time to put up 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 free Google PageRank inflation, or something.

anecdotal evidence

In the fifiteen or so minutes I spent hanging out in my local gun shop while we dorked around with Janus, the proprietor had three physical customers and four call-in customers. And this is in a town with less than 50,000 people, and a gun shop that takes up a …

Sometimes, knowing the right people makes all the difference in the world.
I mentioned I was having some difficulty with tools earlier… Basically, I purchased a new forearm to go on my new home defense shotgun, and then I found out you have to be able to unscrew a nut …

what contract?

A while ago, I wrote about Verizon signing me up for a $45-a-month data plan without my knowledge, consent, or agreement. Well, all these weeks later, an explanation finally surfaces.
Our monthly bill showed up a few days ago, and, for some reason, was about $15 higher than normal. We …

Every day I get a little more happy that I am living in Tennessee, especially with people like Judge Bob Moon here with me:

General Sessions Court Judge Bob Moon on Wednesday told a female home invasion victim she needs to buy a gun to protect herself.

“There should be

Note to self: “No gunsmithing required” does not necessarily equate to “no tools required”. And firearms sometimes require the damnest of tools…

semblance of a spine

Unsurprisingly, the House passed the pointless “stimulus package” yesterday. However, surprisingly, there was not one single, solitary Republican vote in favor of putting the American government even further in debt.
You heard me right – the Republicans in the House of Representatives, to a man (and woman), voted against the …

i was wrong

And I am man enough to admit it.
A little over a week ago, I made a prediction that President Barack Hussein Obama was going to sign an executive order relating to firearms, ammunition, and/or the sales/transportation of them within the first week of his new administration.
As you have …

too obvious

So the government is about to pass some multi-billion (moving towards “trillion” with every passing minute) dollar “stimulus plan” to try and “stimulate” the American economy. Basically, they are going to take some of the money the government has (or says it has), and dump it …

A cashier at my local Wal-Mart just pre-emptively apologized for possibly offending me before she said that I looked like Indiana Jones.
Come on… what red-blooded American man would object to being compared to this:

got it right here

Iran said on Wednesday it would welcome President Barack Obama’s offer of a change in U.S. policy provided it involved a withdrawal of U.S. troops from abroad and an apology for past “crimes” against Tehran.

I will tell you what, President Ahmadinejad, we will load up a couple copies …

avast

If I could spare the 100% markup over a “normal” variant, the $200 tax stamp, the necessary waiting for approval, the time required to navigate the creative and often-changing legalities, and the additional funds for the supplemental hardware to complete it, one of these would so be mine.

Sadly, there …
