not a difficult one

So this is a question I have had for quite a while now, and given that it has never adequately been answered, I figured it might be time to ask it again. Specifically, this question is directed to those individuals who still bitterly cling to the “collectivist” interpretation of the …

Restaurant Carry 2.0–Budget Sub

It’s on the calendar for next Wednesday at 11:00AM CDT.

Why is it in the Budget Subcommittee? Because it has a fiscal note. It’s a positive fiscal note, because the fine ($500) exceeds the cost of 72 hours of jailtime ($139.83). So, local governments stand to make money off …

So pissed right now

I’m gonna rant a bit on a personal issue. Click more for….more…

butterfingers

Criminals should stop using guns – their victims might take their gun away and kill them with it.

The news of this semi-ironic self-defense is courtesy of The Armed Citizen, the best source of news concerning armed American citizens defending themselves from all-too-real criminals… even when those citizens …

same gos-se, different day

Given the non-stop, unending stream of the same baseless hoplophobia, the same anti-rights stance, and the same specious arguments spewing forth from the Commercial Appeal, I honestly got out of the habit of addressing their idiotic editorials, fun though a good fisking can be. However, what with HB3125 moving

sprucing up the place

So what did you do today? I did this:

I had almost forgotten how much I hated moving dirt around. Almost.

And let me just say, for the record, that Tennessee might just have crappier soil (read “clay”) than even Maryland does… …

telling it like it is

Anti-rights advocates like to make a lot of noises about how they are only motivated by “public safety” and “common sense” when they work to abridge law-abiding citizens’ individual rights, limit access to firearms, close non-existant, mythical “loopholes”, or enact whatever other totalitarianistic, anti-gun measures they desire. Unfortunately for them, …

case dismissed

Remember the allegations that Ben Cannon, founder of the unsurprisingly-gun-friendly GunPal, impersonated a police officer and pulled over some random-arsed woman?

Turns out, not so much:

Ben Cannon: case dismissed.

And after that, the court clerk turns to Ben & lawyers and said, “I guess I’ll be seeing

giving new life

In my stumbling and bumbling around the internet, I have to ask whether or not this is such a good idea:

These unique Chilean Mausers have been converted to fire .308 and are in good condition. They are Pre-1898, and therefore an antique by definition. This means we can ship

situational awareness fail

All I can really say is that we grow them dumb around here. …

taking count

So we actually ended up receiving two census forms – one at our apartment and one at our house. Unsurprisingly, both letters were wrapped in the same envelope proclaiming, “YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW.”

I do not think they want me to respond to both of them – in …

funny how things work out

Well, this is starting to get interesting. As I mentioned yesteday, good ol’ Leonard Embody / kwikrnu had his handgun carry permit revoked by the state of Tennessee on the basis that he “poses a material likelihood of risk to the public”. What I did not mention, because I …

Timeline for HB3125

As you know, the House Judiciary Committee passed Restaurant Carry 2.0 last night. The bill’s sponsor, Curry Todd, came to the TFA meeting and I got a chance to speak with him about some things.

The process will go like this: The bill goes to the Budget Subcommittee first, probably …

taking them to the ropes

Some supposed pro-rights activists call open carry an “anathema” and do what they can to demonize those who would carry their firearms in the open, and otherwise expose the rotten bigotry still found throughout the ranks of gun owners.

Other pro-rights activists take the fight to the enemy, and

over the hump

If you ever wanted to know why I will always regard anti-rights advocates like MikeB302000, Laci the Dog Bitch, Josh Sugarmann, Denis Hennigan, and others of their ilk with the highest disdain, Ayn Rand says it far better than I could:

Learn to distinguish the difference

cheaper than hysteria

Alright, I know a lot of people say a lot of good things about Cheaper Than Dirt. I know a lot of people are getting some amount of money from them in the form of advertisements, endorsements, and sponsorships. I know CTD’s blog’s author stops by here periodically, and …

wave good-bye to your money

Part of the reason taxes spool me right the hell up every year is that every time I look at my finalized W-2, I get to see 6.2% of my income stolen away from me, never to be seen again, in the form of a payment into the black box …

Restaurant Carry 2.0: House Judiciary 3/16

Proposed ammendment (by Chairman Coleman?) on the bill to allow the “International No Guns” symbol in leiu of the proper signage. Tabled (killed).

Proposed ammendment by Sontonay removes liability from restaurantuers for actions taken by carry permit holders inside the restaurant. Tabled (killed), though I think this one was reasonable. …

mountains out of molehills

In all honesty, this particular news report was of a sufficiently non-event quality to me that I did not even bat an eye reading across its headline yesterday… but then my mother asked me about it, and I started realizing just how much pants-wetting hysterics there had been online about …

taking its place

Given that my phone has taken to simply dying without any previous warning or indications, I need one of these.

Or a new battery. That might do it too. …
