 Speaking of discretionary income I probably do not have, I had the chance to briefly test-drive a nearly-perfect-condition 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS396 with a L35 325HP engine and a three-speed automatic. Even without the stick-shift, and partially thanks to [...] *sigh* The guy who sold me my beautiful Uberti Open-Top is now selling a Cimmaron 1878 Coach Gun for a scant $400 (which can probably be talked-down, given our previous business). Unfortunately, given that we do not have a house yet, we have nowhere to put 14 somewhat-heavy boxes, but if you ever wanted a pre-built survival food stash that you could rely on for at least 20 years (and [...] I guess the great AR-15/magazine shortage of 2009 is finally over: Browning ground beef before going to work in the morning. So SCOTUS is going to hear a case about the Chicago gun ban, and rule on incorporation of the 2nd amendment. Basically, they are going to decide if the 2nd applies to local and state governments.

I guess my signal-to-noise ratio is [...] Here in Tennessee, restauranteurs are coming completely unglued over whether or not to post their respective establishments as being “off-limits” to law-abiding, background-checked, permitted citizens carrying their firearms in a lawful manner. Amusingly, the fast-food joints here in the [...] A few weeks back, a substantial number of concerned American citizens marched to the Capitol to express their displeasure at how the American government has been run over the past few decades/centuries. There was no rioting. There was no [...] Benefit #57 of Carrying a Knife: Touching up those spots that your electric razor missed in the morning. Proceed at your own [...] Got to work this morning, and my thermometer’s first digit was “4″. Sanctions on Cuba have failed for 40 years, but sanctions on Iran will work [...] If you ever want to venture into the realm of NFA-regulated firearms and accessories (short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, “any other weapons”, automatic firearms, silencers, etc.), make 110% sure you know exactly what the law says, and how to abide [...] On Friday, Our Glorious President sang kumbaya with some of the world’s professional politicians in an attempt to drive the atomic djinn back into his containment bottle by force of ego alone. Below is a forward I received at work:
Remember that whole exposé on the Mayors Against Ahh, Florida… the state where I can carry an automatic knife without a care in the world, and where I can carry a concealed firearm with the proper permit, but also where I can be arrested and charged with [...] Since an irregular commenter will not give up the topic, I thought I would pose it as a question to all of my regular readers, out of bored curiosity: do you only buy firearms from registered FFLs, and do [...] So sometimes when I’m bored at work, I browse the Metro Nashville Police Department press releases. Today I came across this one:
There’s a bit of a local controversy surrounding the drawing of imaginary lines in Nashville. Apparently, sometime last year Nashville schools were allowed for the first time since Segregation to draw their own zoning lines. The Metro Nashville School [...] Perusing Gunbroker, I was struck with this thought: … And I managed to start and finish Monster Hunter International The Tennessean is the only Nashville news outlet to correctly report that felon who sold the gun that killed Steve McNair plead guilty to felon in possession of a firearm.
Sadly, the short-sale-with-the-pool we were pursuing fell through… but even without a pool, I so want one of these. Better Half and I are headed south tomorrow for a way-in-advance anniversary-ish trip (gotta love work) – anyone know any interesting places to go in south-eastern Florida, apart from the Everglades? Posting will be somewhere between “non-existant” and “light” [...] I’m sitting here listening to Charlie Gibson on ABC Nightly News go on about how residents in flooded-out parts of Georgia won’t be helped by the state, because the state is out of money. Some of the nonsense I have written has been featured as the “Quote of the Day” not only at The View from North Central Idaho, but also at Another Gun Blog. Thank you, Joe and [...] Say what you want about Sarah Palin, but she has found some pretty powerful words of her own:
The Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington have their yearly 15 Most Corrupt Members of Congress list up, and while I sincerely think they are short a few names, it makes for an interesting [...] It would seem as though the “Mayors Against Bill Haslam told the local paper that he was against lifting the ban on permit holders in parks.

Five days ago, I took advantage of this free offer pointed out by Another Gun Guy. Yesterday, the Weapon Shield CLP showed up in the mail. When the headline reads, “Nude, Gun-Wielding 91-Year-Old Man Helps Make Arrest of Home Intruder“, I have only this to say to the criminal responsible for this event: ur doin it wrong. Fun fact: out of the most-recent/contentious Presidents in history, only President Clinton’s approval rating was lower than President Barack Hussein Obama’s this far into his term.
