Some news outlets are saying that arguments started today at 11am. Others are saying they’re asking for a hearing today. When they had their first hearing, Chancellor Bonnyman told them to be back in 90 days.

At least the guy didn’t have a gun

He heard a woman screaming and went to help her. For his trouble, he’s in the hospital with head injuries and a broken hand. This outcome is precisely the way he would prefer it to happen.…

Man with no felony convictions gets permit

Press goes absolutely insane.
A couple of things to address from the article: First, the guy they talk about isn’t the sort of guy I’d want on the street at all, much less with a carry permit. The prosecutor who decided that beating a cop unconcious was a misdemeanor …

Range Day–Former British Subjects Edition

I am an IT consultant with one of the largest companies in India. No, I’m not from India, and no, I’ve never been there. The short version is the small company I worked for was bought last year by this ginormous company I’d never heard of.
So, as a result …

VISA!

Because your ability to buy lunch should be dependent on a global telecommunications system.
For 2 Fridays in a row, the sandwich shop I go to couldn’t take credit cards because their phone line was acting up. Funny how those Visa commercials from a couple of years ago made fun …

prepare for sad pandas

I cannot say as though I ever expected to be quoting something like this:

Sheriff White argued that armed civilians on campus have the potential to end the threat quickly. And he stunned the room with this assertion.

“In actual shootings, citizens do far better than law enforcement on

no surprise here

Over a month ago, it became legal to carry a handgun into any restaurant in Tennessee, assuming you have a Handgun Carry Permit, and assuming the restaurant in question is not legally posted in accordance with Tennessee State Code 39-17-1359. As I mentioned a month ago, anti-rights advocates …

playing make-believe

By way of SaysUncle, then Argghhh!!!, then Villainous Company, then finally No Quarter, we get a small glimpse into why it is that our Glorious President set up the “flag@whitehouse.gov” email address:

The most recent example of Obama-Planned onslaught was seen Sunday, when many established bloggers’

no more squeak

New use for gun oil: curing sqeaky door hinges. Just start a bead at the top of the hinge, make sure it gets to the last seam, and then run the door back and forth a few times. Use a paper towel to clean up, and off you go. Should …

armed across the atlantic

Anyone with access to the unclassified side of the CIA World Factbook (i.e. everyone) can find out that the Czech Republic has a population of somewhere around 10,000,000. However, did you know that over 234,000 of those individuals have a permit to carry firearms?

project 2996

I want to take a moment to thank LeadChucker for pointing me towards Project 2996.
What is Project 2996? Simply put:

Project 2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.

On September 11, 2006, more than 3,000 bloggers joined together to remember the victims of 9/11.

redefining the american language

A few days ago, an individual at a “town hall” meeting in Houston identified herself as a “general practicioner” before she proceeded to ask Representative Lee questions concerning the upcoming “universal health care” bill, and specifically regarding preventative care concerns. Later, in an interview with the Houston Chron, the individual …

one minute-of-acetylene-tank accuracy


Yes, that would be Yours Truly rocking out with B.O.M.B.E.R. at the Hero Gear Hero-15 shoot. Still working on that sling and how I want it to work, so forgive the slight slack.
Oh, and before anyone gets witty, the back scope cover is one of the see-through varieties.…

you really do not want to know

I would strongly advise against going to this particular webpage unless you want your entire day ruined.
In the 75 years between 1925 and 2000, we created over 20 times more legislation than we created in the entire 149 years before. Twenty times… in half the time. And that is …

You know your day is going to be… interesting when you cannot even make it in the office door before you receive a page reading, “Server is down – need help fixing it. Call ###-####.”
This realization is made even more poignant when you are not even a sysadmin or

If you ever need a prime example of why our country is ultimately doomed, you need look no farther than this news report:

A $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids sparked a mad rush for money on the streets of New York on Tuesday.

how soon forgotten

Certain liberals are going positively bonkers over one individual in New Hampshire openly carrying a firearm (and a relatively inflamatory sign) across the street from an event held by our Glorious President, and another individual happening to drop his firearm at a “town hall” meeting:

Also important to note, the

stating, for the record

I admit it: I posted the “Obama-as-Joker” image on my webpage. In fact, I did it twice, and hosted the images on my own server such that they cannot mysteriously disappear. While I agree with the sentiment, agree with the exercise of individual expression, and agree that turnabout is

minor revelation

After a few years of weblogging on the topics of guns, rights, individualism, and whatever else comes to mind, and after a few years of reading and being on the receiving end of the arguments put forward by those who would disagree with me, I think I reached a small …
