   | At 3 bucks a throw, these shotgun shells are not exactly what I would consider cheap, but if you look at what they can do (squeamish stomach warning), I have to wonder if they might be an interesting solution to the standard home-defense problem of stopping… [...] Since I feel a bout of laziness coming on, I think it is time for me to copy-paste some good quotes from across the blogosphere. First up, Glenn Reynolds:
… [...] I fully appreciate and encourage having a fire-extinguisher handy for any kind of fire-producing device (even internal combustion engines), but having said fire extinguisher strapped directly to a generator seems somewhat… counterproductive? [...] One of my coworkers just got diagnosed with a confirmed case of the piggy flu. [...]
[...] Well, 19 days have elapsed between our placing an offer on the short-sale house, and today, and there has not even been a whisper of a response from the bank responsible for the current mortgage on the house. Granted, they have made it clear that they will respond with either… [...] Behold my paltry submission to the Monster Hunter International patch contest: [...]
[...] In case I did not make my position perfectly clear before, a man who would maliciously joke about a woman he negligently killed deserves to be reviled, not remembered. [...] As usual, Mr. Chris Muir knocks it clean out of the park.
… [...] Continuing the trend of us evil pro-rights activists relying on such things as “numbers”, “facts”, “statistics”, and “logic” to make and support our arguments, Howard Nemerov documents what we already knew: people with permits to carry firearms tend to be more-law-abiding than average citizens. [...] You folks closer to the center of TN than I am might want to look into this machine gun shoot organized by the good folks at Guns and Leather. Thanks to pointless governmental legislation, the cost of owning a civilian-legal automatic firearm can be exorbitant, so… [...] There are days that I am very, very thankful to have moved to one of the freer states in the Union… today would be one of those days. For those of you who are unwilling to sit through the video at the above link, I transcribed the important… [...] Courtesy of just about everyone else this morning, I give you Take a Vet to Lunch. The concept is as simple as it sounds – on Veterans’ Day (11 November), take a veteran to lunch. I am not one to often advertise my veteran status, but I am… [...] And speaking of “health care reform”, behold the future of American health care if the “liberals” achieve their goals:
… [...] I have to admit, stupid-assed gos-se like this really pisses me right the hell off:
… [...] At lunch a few days ago, a co-worker of my wife’s was complaining about people complaining about the socialistic tendencies of our benevolent government’s intended “universal health care system”… suffice to say, his political leanings are probably a little farther right of mine. His off-the-cuff quip to answer these complaints… [...] So apparently the Democratic Party’s Denver office was attacked and vandalized a few nights back, with a few windows broken, a few posters destroyed, and general-purpose mayhem wrought. So what was the reaction from Chairwoman Pat Waak? Why, blame the other side, of course:
… [...] Remember how the BATFE turned countless law-abiding citizens into criminals by redfining the SBR requirements on a whim? [...] The NRA just put out a new, updated version of its Guide to the Interstate Transportation of Firearms. A lot of the stuff covered should fall under the “common sense” heading, but they do delve into the specific details concerning transpting firearms in the less-free states of our… [...] Since I am vaguely considering open carrying in the near future, I have been doing a little homework on the details of doing so (and talking with folks like Pol Mordreth), and it would appear that a large number of open carriers routinely also carry audio recorders with… [...] Unfortunately, my name is sufficiently common that this little artsy-fartsy gidget was pretty much useless for me. And, obviously, my chosen internet moniker is even worse. Perhaps those of you with more-unique names will have better luck. [...]
[...] Both Say Uncle and Joe Huffman point to Alan Korwin questioning just how many firearms there are in America:
… [...] Remember the whole froofera over some pro-rights activists’ boycott of Cooper Arms, after Dan Cooper came out in support of then-Senator Barack Hussein Obama? Remember how we were lambasted for daring to vote with our dollars? Remember how big the mess got?… [...] You may thank the Better Half for this post. [...] From a conversation last night:
… [...] It was back in 2007 when I put up my post explaining my belief that supporting “gun control” is the same as aiding and abetting criminals, but, as usual, Marko said it prettier:
… [...] Do you want to know what this farce of a “Cash for Clunkers” program managed to accomplish for our wonderful country? Well, apart from apparently running out of money, despite not actually distributing hardly any money, it has also successfully managed to outright destroy at… [...] During our little hike on Saturday, I was the only person of four who bothered to put on bug spray… DEET-laden, broad-spectrum, name-brand bug spray. [...] For those of you in and around Tennessee, you might want to start paying attention to the Mid-South Guns and Gear Expo. I will let the organizers speak for themselves:
… [...] Being a guy, this was never really much of a problem for me, but I can certainly understand the logic: here in America, a man can go without a shirt or any kind of torso-covering anything, so why are women legally barred from doing the same? [...] Staying home from work, shiny. [...] Headline of the day:
I started to feel bad for the dog, what with being kidnapped and all, but then I remembered it is a chihuahua, and now I feel worse for the dude that made off with him.… [...] Who knew that McDonalds was racist? [...] At Les Jones’ suggestion, Better Half, some friends, and I spent some time out at Burgess Falls and the Black Mountain Loop Trail. [...] Now there is something new and different… I cannot say as though I ever knew that Dr. Ruth Westheimer was a Haganah-trained sniper, and a stunningly good one at that. For those unfamiliar with the term “Haganah” (like me), it was an underground defense force for… [...] Sorry for the lack of posting today… Better Half, a few friends, and I spent most of the day out here: [...]

So apparently Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy died this morning.
