Been kidnapped by wife.  No computers or cell signal.  Battery dying.  Send wine and chocolate.

breaking your thumb’s condition

Despite having written somewhat prolifically on the topic, I have only ever carried two models of firearms in public – the Beretta M9 when I was standing quarterdeck watches in the Navy, and my current Walther PPS. While I was in the military, the condition at which I carried the …

and now for something possibly useful

I do not often cover specific firearm industry news very often, but these three pieces are of interest to me, and it is my weblog, so why not?

My first handgun (and first firearm in general, for that matter) was a 9mm, full-size, metal-framed Baby Eagle – at the time, …

just not wired normally

We have already touched on how anti-rights nuts have no idea what a “middle ground” is, but we are going to delve a little more into that concept today by briefly examining how their worlds are typically defined by extremes, with nothing “middle”-ish to be seen.

Consider how the …

Q&A #2

Question: “Why would you ever need your Glock in a bar?”

Answer: To fend off the guy with the shotgun.

Around 11:30 p.m., two men armed with guns walked into the Holland House restaurant and ordered everyone in the building to the floor. Capt. Chris Taylor with the Metro

crimes against humanity

Seriously. What the flying frak is with Mythbusters having this strange fascination for blowing up five-hundred-gorramed-dollar briefcases?

Listen, Adam and Jamie, the next time you have the strange urge to detonate one of Saddleback‘s products, send it to me; I will, in exchange, send you a perfectly functional, …

accuracy in reporting is a thing of the past

Well, this is certainly not something you read about every day

A man has been arrested after FBI and TSA officials said his luggage contained volatile gun parts, which caused his bag to explode Tuesday just before it was about to be loaded on a plane.

The unidentified 37-year-old

saying ‘thank you’ costs you nothing

I would just like to take a minute to thank Robb, Jay G, SayUncle, Fred, Hyperprapor, Patrick, Sabra, Eric Shelton, and Mike W. for taking the time and blogspace to link to my most-recent rendition of my “Graphics Matter” series. Their …

helping a hero

I would have included this in the previous post, but I figure this is important enough to warrant some webspace of its own.

Everyone remember Ramon Castillo, the pawnshop owner who perforated three scumbags who were trying to tie up he and his wife, rob his store, and do

lucky advertisements

ammo for saleammo for saleSpeaking of money, I am very happy to announce that I have been able to bring on Lucky Gunner as another advertiser here at “walls of the city” – you should be able to see their banner at the upper left of this page, and at the bottom of my …

shaming the paper tigers

When you get right down to it, my weblog is pretty small – I am ranked somewhere in the low 300,000s of American webpages (just below some stupid thing about lotteries, and just above one of millions of gamer sites), and I reach about 3,500 people and receive somewhere around …

find a niche to fill

Apparently Google’s App Inventor just went public, despite still retaining its “beta” version nomenclature.

Hm.

So what is a shot timer supposed to be able to do again? …

graphics matter, year the second, part two

By now, even irregular readers of my weblog should be more than aware of my yearly posts documenting how the hypothesis “more guns = more deaths” is demonstrably false over recent American history, but today we are going to go a slightly different direction.

In a recent post, Joe

the failure of gun control

Ten years ago yesterday, “gun control” failed and seven people died:

The other thing that’s not mentioned is that [redacted] was not legally allowed to own the two firearms used. He was ineligible to own firearms in MA and had been ordered to turn in his firearms and had

reflections on winter travel

We left Savannah about 1000 yesterday (unfortunately, we had to work today, and most of this week), and it was still just raining, with said precipitation having started the night before… However, by the time we crossed the I-95 corridor, it was snowing – yes, snowing, in the Deep …

Protip–International Business Edition

If you are an account manager in India, and your account is a large American company, it is in your best interest to learn about the long corporate holidays in December.

That way you don’t look like a jackass by sending 14 emails over Christmas, when the client’s office is …

motivation… to get a better-paying job

Every once in a while, I say something worthy of note. I can live with my moniker being attached to this:

And, yes, I would absolutely love to have a firearm like that… but I do not hunt, cannot even come close to rationalizing the $1900 price tag, and …

familial fraternity

Ah, the joys of spending Christmas with a one-year-old and a three-year-old (otherwise known as the “teeny terrorists” – on account of their “give me what I want or I will explode” methodology) – we are just now (mostly) finishing unwrapping gifts, after having been awake for only ten hours……
