c.o. arms part iii

Remember C.O. Arms, the new Tennessee-based 1911 fabricators we wrote about twice previously (after some misunderstandings and disagreements concerning their advertising methods)?

Rustmeister gave them a visit, and has an opening verdict:

I also asked him about a couple of things I read over at Linoge’s site. The testing

cruisin’ for a bruisin’

One would think that MikeB302000 would eventually learn from his past mistakes and stop looking for trouble he cannot handle, but thankfully for those of us who continue to be amused by his childish antics, he just cannot seem to catch the drift.

Sparky’s latest idiocy on parade comes by …

Ruh Roh, Rhaggy.

In my last post I mentioned that the Senate version is the one that’s most likely to be sent to the Governor.

Well, the Senate version was amended last week. The amendment is here.

It changes the signage requirements. If the Senate bill passes in it’s current (amended) form,

Good NewsBad News about RC2.0

Last night I was at the TFA Meeting and got some good news and some very bad news about the Restaurant Carry bill.

First, the good news: The bill that’s going to be sent to the governor is the Senate version. That means that the amendment that passed yesterday, attaching …

Nikki Goeser interviewed By RTAmerica

Nikki Goeser on Russian TV
She was in DC for the 2nd Amendment March, and was approached by a reporter from RTAmerica, which is an english language Russian-Oriented network for a studio interview. (I actually couldn’t find a website for them, just a youtube channel, but they had a full …

rights for the down-under-ites

As any regular reader here will realize, I support rights, of all varying shapes, colors, and sizes, for all varying people throughout the world, not just here in the States. As such, this post over at Jigsaw’s Thoughts definitely caught my eye.

It would appear as though the Liberal Party …

*rumblerumble*

In 2002, my family moved out of La Plata, MD, a few months before it got nuked by an F5 tornado.

In 2005, Katrina displaced me and a lot of other people along the Gulf Coast.

In 2007, Better Half and I were amongst those who had to evacuate

full of sound?

As I was expecting, the Second Amendment March turned out to be something of a non-event. No agents provocateur, no one seems to have been arrested (or, at least, made the news while doing so), not much of a counterprotest, no one shot on either side, and fewer than 2500 …

Restaurant Carry 2.0 Finance 4/20

Started a wee bit late.

Odom starts off with a new amendment that deals with penalties for drinking while carrying for carry permit holders only. First offense would be a misdemeanor resulting in loss of the permit and 11mo29day in jail, but second offense would be a felony and …

Tennessean: Tea partiers are “enemies of peace”

In an editorial today, The Tennessean smeared thousands of tea partiers, equating calls for lower taxes with mass murder. In fact, at one point in the editorial, they say (not suggest–say) that tea party leaders are arming people and encouraging them to shoot at FBI agents and National …

GRRRRRR

Loaded android 2.1 on my phone yesterday. Took the better part of the day to get bluetooth working. Couldn’t get it to play ASX streams, even when going through Orb. Cant watch the Finance vote today without that capability.

Reverted to WM6.1. Left my SD card with all the …

Restaurant Carry 2.0-Vote today

We hope. It’s the first bill on Finance’s calendar, but last week they spent over an hour debating it.

When the meeting starts, they will be voting on a motion to reconsider the previous vote to table an amendment to increase the penalty for carrying while drinking with a permit. …

riddle me this

Why does a new Droid from Verizon, through their “upgrade within your current plan every two+ years and sign a new two-year contract” system, cost $200, while the exact same phone through Amazon, with a new Verizon account and transferring my old number, costs $20?

Either way, I would …

I was initially not sure I could trump my dieselpunk Nazis from space post; however, I need not have concerned myself.

smile and wave?

Logically and rationally, I can find no reason to believe in ghosts, spirits, hauntings, or anything of the sort.

Religiously, the Bible acknowledges the presence of spirits in our world, but notes that they are either upfront and clear in their messages, or probably not the friendliest of supernatural creatures …

know your friends

For those folks who waste absolutely no time in demonizing all police officers everywhere due to the actions of a few incompetent, inconsiderate, or downright idiotic individuals wearing badges, it might be helpful to remind yourself of the full reality of the situation, rather than just the unfortunate exceptions …
