Last night, I sent an email to my seven city council members, regarding their upcoming decision on whether or not to “opt-out” of Tennessee’s upcoming law changes allowing handgun carry permit holders to take their firearms into state, county, city, and other local parks. As of the time of this … [...] Fourty years ago today, three men were launched into space on a voyage to another celestial body. I stand in awe of the magnitude and scope of that accomplishment… and in shame that the pinnacle of space exploration (and, quite possibly, human achievement in general) was 40 years ago.… [...] This time, Better Half’s parental units are dropping by for a visit tomorrow. Expect posting to be light for the next week or so.… [...] After two, massive, midnight thunderstorms this week, I think it is time to get in touch with my local Weather Scheduler… And these were not pissy little storms either – these were the kinds where your entire bedroom lights up like someone just set off a flash-bang, and that is … [...] My wife, responding to this story about a tanker exploding on a Detroit Interstate:
[...] I left the following still-moderated comment at Warren Ellis’ webpage approximately 12 hours ago. The comment was understandably moderated, due to the number of links contained within it, no doubt, however, the fact that it has not yet been published does tend to tell me something (12 hours should have … [...] My city council is considering “opting-out” of Tennessee’s upcoming law-change that would allow handgun carry permit holders to carry their firearms into state, county, city, and other local parks. So I dropped them this email:
[...] A lot of the time when realistic people are asked what “national health care” will resemble, they respond that one should look at the VA Hospital, and how it is run, managed, and organized. Honestly, that is a pretty fair assessment, considering that the VA system has been government-managed since … [...] Let me preface this post by saying that I find the quibbling about President Barack Hussein Obama’s birth certificate to be quite useless at this point… If anything was going to come of that particular question, it would have and should have before the election. At this point in time, … [...] While Tennessee was (unsurprisingly) not subjected to rampant and out-of-control Wild-West-style shoot-outs yesterday, not everywhere was so lucky. However, I do not think this particular incident is what the anti-rights advocates had in mind when they coined the “Wild West shoot-out” phrase:
[...] Yesterday, it became legal for law-abiding handgun carry permit holders to take their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol here in Tennessee. According to the hoplophobes and anti-rights advocates throughout the state and country, we should have experienced blood-splattered bloomin’ onions, murdered wait staff, gunned-down children, threatened and intimidated managers, … [...] This news hardly needs comment:
How much longer before people start telling the conductor, “Stop … [...] Ok, so this is just cool no matter how you look at it – a 71-year old PhD consultant and a 72-year-old CEO drove cross-country, on the Lincoln Highway, herding Piaggio MP3 500s… just like the ones I was talking about last week. Granted, it was a publicity … [...] Personally, I love reactive targets… Shooting firearms is fun enough as it is, but it is tremendously more fun when the things you are shooting explode, splatter, pulverize, or puff. Unfortunately, I have never made it to Boomershoot, but I have tinkered with clay pigeons, pumpkins, and other potential targets.… [...] This is a message to all the pants-wetting morons in Tennessee who are claiming they will not patronize a restaurant that does not post a “no guns allowed” sign: you are, of course, aware that law-abiding, handgun-carry-permit-holding citizens like myself have been frequenting McDonalds, Wendy’s, Burger Kings, Pizza Huts, Buddy’s, … [...] So, first off, hit the poll at this news article like it owes you money.
[...] Not content with merely posting the proper sign, patrons of the “World Famous” Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge in downtown Nashville will be frisked and wanded starting this weekend:
[...] Last week, Les Jones posted something that caused me to just about come unglued, and while I felt it was important, I did not want to write about it at the time simply because I would probably start having written diarrhea and end up with something that was entirely unpublishable. … [...] Say Uncle beat me to it.
He is absolutely correct – firearms should never be handled, carried, or operated while the user meets the legal definition of “intoxicated”. However, Governor Phil used that “rationale” (such … [...] I just got off the phone with John Harris, Executive Director for the Tennessee Firearms Association. John was in the courtroom today (sitting right behind Kasey Dread) and offered his thoughts:
