kickin’ old-skool tires

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 a sticky gas pedal (and my overzealous foot), I found out …

side-by-side goodness

*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, I have decided I need two things before I aquire any more hardware: a good safe, and more …

seventy-three cents a meal

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 probably a few beyond), Costco has one hell of a deal

gotta have something to feed it

I guess the great AR-15/magazine shortage of 2009 is finally over:

Given that black MagPul PMAGs run about $15, getting 5 of them for free pretty much knocks $75 off the purchase price of a M&P15, which is not that big of a dent, but at least it is something.…

got someone’s attention

Well, this is an interesting hit:

It would seem as though someone in the Bureau of the Census is looking for “public service announcements” concerning the Census itself, and got pointed my way by Google.
Hopefully the exit link they followed might educate them on the finer details of …

Cart before the horse

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.
So let’s say we win. What happens to state carry laws? Would they go …

Putting local parks in perspective

This made me giggle:

According to Tnhometownlocator.com there are 95 counties and 343 incorporated cities in Tennessee,that is 438 entities combined.That leaves 368 that have not voted to opt out,or not voted at all.If my math is correct that means 5 out of 6 allow it.So much for fair and

them county hicks

While the city of Knoxville itself decided to display its disregard for the rights of its resident citizens, the Knox County Commission decided to uphold a citizen’s right to self-defense last night by allowing licensed, background-checked, law-abiding citizens to carry their handguns in Knox County Parks.
Shiny. Now, …

how soon the media forgets

This headline alone is a sad statement on the condition of modern journalism:

Without Bush, media lose interest in war caskets

… but it should be obvious that the rest of the article provides an even better castigation of journalists and the blatant biases they are not even trying to …

every little bit helps

If you ever wanted to strap a jet-pack to my ego, saying things like this will certainly suffice:

Tomorrow I’m adding a tag “Yet Another Link to Linoge”.

I guess my signal-to-noise ratio is improving……

the way things should be

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 patron state of shooting things did not seem to have similar …

compare – contrast

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 violence. There was no destruction of private or public property. There …

ignorance is no excuse

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 by the letter of it, otherwise things like this could happen …

head in the sand

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.
Today, the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (more commonly known as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard …

public service announcement

Below is a forward I received at work:

With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as

turning over rocks

Remember that whole exposé on the Mayors Against Illegal Guns’ positions that Sebastian did last week?
Well, this week, Bitter one-upped him with an explanation of the links between MAIG and the Brady Bunch:
