insert slot ‘a’ into tab ‘b’

This has got to be the coolest rifle barrel design I have seen in a very long time. The equation is pretty simple:
1. Take a barrel with a breech-face-to-crown length of 12.25 inches – that would be regulated by the National Firearms Act, quantified as a Short Barreled

record-setting president

… just not in a good way:

The decline in Barack Obama’s popularity since July has been the steepest of any president at the same stage of his first term for more than 50 years.

Gallup recorded an average daily approval rating of 53 per cent for Mr Obama

brought it on themselves

What happens after you spend centuries disarming your populace, convincing them not to fight back or they will face charges themselves, and crafting them into the most compliant, defenseless, and possibly even willing victims you can?
Crime reaches the point where you have to arm your police patrols for …

take two

In my daily stumbling and bumbling around the internet, I happened across this interesting take on the Captain Phillips situation, courtesy of Bilgeman in a comment at The Smallest Minority:

A little “inside baseball” on Phillips.

I never sailed with him, but I know guys who did.

He’s

losing my business

In the interests of full disclosure, I do not own any items produced by the Atlantic Research Marketing Systems, Inc. (more-generally and hereafter known as A.R.M.S.). They have never provided me any products for free or by means of reimbursement, and I have never purchased any of their many products.…

the political playground

Straight from the lips of Our Glorious President:

Democrats are an opinionated bunch. You know, the other side, they just kinda sometimes do what they’re told. Democrats, y’all thinkin’ for yourselves.

And here I could have sworn that Our Glorious President was dedicated to a sense of bipartisanship, and working …

Just got a document dump

From the Restaurant Carry Lawsuit. I’m reading a response by the Attorney General’s Office to a “Statement of Undisputed Facts” by owners of the Melrose restaurant in Nashville, TN
The lawyer who wrote this response was certainly having fun with it. For example:

It is not disputed that Statement 6

get some diapers

And in a repeat of yesterday’s performance, Murdoc points to a relatively interesting article concering the pants-wetting hysterics some people undergo when confronted with the reality that firearms really do exist, and are legally used, on a daily basis, by law-abiding citizens just like them. Given that this seemed to …

straight from the playbook

It has been a while since I cracked the covers apart, but today’s hold-my-nose-and-read session with Atlas Shrugged yielded this quote:

“Oh,” said Lawson; he remembered that he had seen Mouch lunching with Balph Eubank two weeks ago. Then he shook his head and frowned. “Still, I’m worried. The intellectuals

zing^2

As a general rule, I typically dislike politicians; however, that distaste is being tempered somewhat when it comes to my state’s duly elected representatives:

Republican Conference Chairman Lamar Alexander (Tenn.), who served in the Nixon White House, offered what he said was a “friendly suggestion” to the White House

1. light fuse 2. step away

Huh. If you ever want to be on the receiving end of a 1700+ hit hybrid tamcle-alanche, just put up a few pictures and a positive review of a decent mid-grade custom holster, especially if the holster in question might be, in any way, controversial.

Gotta love …

whack-a-poll

Go forth and take the poll.
Yes, the questions are set up that there may be no answer you are entirely happy with… so just pick the answer you are most happy with. Something tells me this particular poll was set up in this manner for a reason, so …

“But I pay mine off every month” is no longer a valid excuse

I’m a Dave Ramsey guy. In the real world, everyone who knows me is more likely to know that fact than the fact that I am a gunblogger. I haven’t had a credit card in almost 5 years, and I have been debt free for 2 years. If you go …

the value of being honest

Murdoc brings up an outstanding point concerning Kalifornistan’s new requirement to provide a thumbprint for each and every ammunition purchase:

This won’t stop anyone from buying ammo. All it will do is provide an after-the-fact paper trail for someone to follow if necessary. So make sure that everyone realizes that

from the mouths of foreigners

Now this is just priceless:

A contributor to a mailing list for Japanese-English translation that I read reports that the verb obamu is gaining currency on the Kyoto University campus. He writes, “It means something along the lines of, ‘to ignore anything which appears to make you likely to fail

quote of the day

As written by Tam in a comment here:

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

If the gun is being carried in the open, at least as much attention should be paid to the holster as to one’s other garments.

O/C’ing a Fobus holster is like wearing f’ing Crocs in

We call ‘em “Tacticool Terry” around here

Uncle has a post about the different kinds of shooters you see at public ranges. I have a favorite story about type #5, The Paramilitary Poseur. This story is 100% true, I could not make it up if I tried:
This summer, I went to a local uncontrolled public range. …
