colors, round two

Just so you all know, we decided to go with the top and left grey – yes, those two patches are the same color (Samovar Silver, on the Sherwin Williams pallette), and no, no one got it right.

However, a new question for you: Which of these paint swatches …

recoil therapy

Just a few quick observations from the range this morning:

1. Even at opening time (1000 on a Saturday), the lanes were 50-75% full.

2. Students for their handgun carry permit course today were an even split between male and female.

3. Despite damned near everyone at the shop being …

fueling the flames

A little while ago, commenter Steve claimed that OS X is significantly more secure than its Windows counterparts, and not being tremendously well-versed in the modern underpinnings of either operating system, I shortly bowed out of the conversation and let better-educated and more-intelligent people than me hash it out. …

anecdotes just keep piling up

Remember, boys and girls: there is absolutely no reason for an adult human being to carry a firearm around outside of his or her place of residence. None at all. Which means this news story is a complete fabrication:

When a teenager tried to break into a DeLand house, he

What’s wrong with this picture?

Metro Police have been trumpeting a huge drug siezure this week. From WSMV:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Police said an officer’s keen sense of smell helped them discover a marijuana growing operation in south Nashville Wednesday night.

Police said they were driving with their windows down on Cimarron Way at

Third Anniversary of Va Tech Massacre

All classes are cancelled for the day.

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it, but this was the thing that made me get off my butt and get my carry permit. I remember seeing cellphone video of campus police cowering behind trash cans while shots were being fired inside …

‘scuse me while I go make a tinfoil beanie…

Sometimes completely unrelated news stories make me go, “hmmmmm…”*

4/15/2010 0410 GMT: Soaring meteor lights up skies across the Midwest.

4/15/2010 1130 GMT: Pretty much every flight in Europe is cancelled. Because of a volcano eruption that started either Wednesday 4/14 or over a month ago, depending on who …

bringing shame on metal

Some days, I wonder if the world is simply stress-testing my cardiovascular system for future idiocy.

Then the future idiocy arrives, and I know that no amounts of preparation could have readied my body for the outrage:

The late Rep. John Murtha, Pennsylvania Democrat, has achieved his highest undeserved

release the bloombas!

I just did some pretty significant dorking around with plugins and settings and the like in an attempt to help this page load a little faster – please let me know if you encounter any problems. …

she’s a brick… gun…

Apart from probably having a damned-near-irresistable urge to hold it up to my mouth and request a signal flare round, I can definitely see myself lusting after a TDI KRISS KARD in the near future:

The KARD’s barrel recoils inline, rather than the tilting barrel system used in most

compare/contrast

I really have nothing more that I could add to this:

(Image blatantly stolen from Ironic Surrealism v3.0.)

Well, actually, I do – Weer’d Beard seems to have finally found something the iPad can do better than a rock: be a cat toy.

talk about needing a drink

So, how did it feel to be bent over and financially violated this year, with the full knowledge that those in positions to do so will be doing their absolute best to spread your hard-earned money around, support failing industries that are not failing due to financial problems, and give …

Unpossible!

Not possible, since guns in Nashville Parks are banned.…

eventually, we will win

While, unfortunately, this attempt is no more likely to succeed than the last time around, I still remain convinced that protecting the privacy of average citizens is unquestionably a good thing:

My bill to stop the publishing of handgun carry permit holders has passed out of the full judiciary

gravedigger

I confess to being somewhat concerned about this “new direction” and “reimagining”, but I will try to force myself to remain cautiously optimistic and see what 2K Marin can bring to the X-COM universe:

The original X-COM was an isometric turn-based strategy game for the PC (and eventually the

Ok, I do not care who you are, this is pretty darned funny:

it helps to read before you vote

Try as I might (and I confess to not trying all that hard), I just cannot bring myself to feel bad about this all-too-amusing situation:

In a new report, the Congressional Research Service says the law may have significant unintended consequences for the “personal health insurance coverage” of senators,

poke-testing live circuitry

Just a friendly note to my fellow Mustang owners: these instructions only kind-of work. I am not sure if this is a model year thing, or a Bullitt thing, but there it is.

Thankfully, hardwiring my Escort radar detector into my Mazda 3 was surprisingly simple, thanks to the presence …

Well, crap

So after my incident with my Eotech 552 going splody I’ve been waiting to have a little extra money to buy an MBUS setup.

Well, today, JohnOC in #gunblogger_conspiracy pointed out to me that the Magpul product page says the front sight will melt if it’s mounted on the gas …
