well-preserved burgers

Given the choice, I will gladly take a Five Guys, Carls Jr., Checkers, or even Burger King burger over something that came out of a McDonalds… but this is just amazing, in a vaguely stomach-turning kind of way. …

methinks i see a pattern

On the one hand, and via Robb at Sharp as a Marble, an unkown-to-me conservative weblogger has been receiving threats for the past few years from a particularly unstable, violent, and vile individual, who has taken it upon herself to extend those threats to the weblogger’s child and mother. …

easy button! *whack*

In case you were curious, those nifty full-length screenshots from yesterday were taken with a program called WebShot, which saves you from having to stitch together individual screenshots yourself. It is a lightweight program, fairly easy to use, and spits out most major grahpics formats… and, as such, is …

matched pairs

Two years back, I wrote about the Winchester SXZ line of ammunition, which follows a very simple concept – offer two rounds, identical in every way except bullet shape. In the case of my 9mm, the casings, powder, general bullet geometry, and bullet mass are all identical, the only …

get your screw on

Like all good, red-blooded Americans, I had certain designs to celebrate 10OCT in an appropriate, “no pressure” kind of way; but, as with so many plans of mice, they kind of went out the window, and I spent most of the day screwing. Let me tell you, there …

the words of alan baird, remembered

I am very thankful that certain pro-rights webloggers are on our side of the fence; otherwise, people I agree with would be facing masterful take-downs like this one:

In closing, I think it might behoove you to get some psychiatric help. Work on your bigotry, your fear of firearms,

is there a gunsmith in the house?

For those of you who are still keeping track of this attention-grabbing revolver, Grant Cunningham is working on a mechanical review of the Chiappa Rhino (and he might know a thing or two about wheelguns). The information about the removable, steel breechface (on what is otherwise an aluminium-alloy firearm) …

facts > stereotypes

A little while ago, we addressed the whole “gun owners are stupid hicks / there should be an intelligence test for firearm ownership” idiocy, and fairly well blew it out of the water, if I do say so myself. Today, we are going to go about it a different …

markley’s law strikes again

Via Joe Huffman and Weer’d Beard (both of whom link to the individual and writing in question, so I will refrain from doing so), we can find not only another violent, intolerant bigot wrapped in the cloak of “reasonable gun control”, but also, as this quote shows:

We were browsing

be careful what you wish for

As children, we are very good about asking for things – oh, to be certain, sometimes that “asking” is more “running around in circles, screaming and stomping our feet”, but the desire and the request is all but evident in situations such as those. And, really, in our youthful innocence, …

mountains out of molehills

Various anti-rights nuts occasionally make a whole lot of noise about how they are constantly in fear for their lives when they are around individuals lawfully carrying firearms, simply because those hoplophobes supposedly “know the chances of an accident happening”.

Do they?

In 2007, 613 people died and an additional …

one out of a lot

I am still sorting through the 3,772 pictures we took during our European vacation, but, even so, I am relatively convinced that this is my best shot of the lot:

Believe it or not, that picture was taken as a *.jpg (not a *.raw, which I rather regret now), and …

oh, yeah

Apparently my ten-year high school reunion was last night. Huh. I still appear to have my diploma, and I cannot recall forgetting anything at that particular center of education, so you can guess where I was during the festivities.

In other news, I have not yet decided if this “milestone”, …

does it even have a trunk?

I always thought it was kind of silly of me to show up at Home Depot in my Mustang.

Turns out, I have nothing on the guy with the Factory Five Cobra clone:

I guess you could always hold stuff over your head… …

fall is going to suck

I just spent the last three hours filling this thing‘s bags about 12 times – for reference, that is enough to just about fill our 55-gallon trash can, put a thick layer on top of our garden, and fill the remaining half of our compost bin.

… And the …

the failure of censorship

And speaking of not worth engaging in a debate…

In checking my referral logs over the past few days, I stumbled across the afore-referenced “An NC Gun Blog“, and discovered that Sean Sorrentino, a long-time pro-rights commenter at a lot of gunblogs around the ‘verse, had finally decided …

quote of the day

Time for a little self-glorification. In response to this post over at Sean Sorrentino’s new digs (both of which will probably merit another post in the near future), I left the following comment:

I feel like a modern-day Diogenes with his lamp, looking for a consistent man amongst the anti-rights

stargate: universe

Stargate Universe: Take the worst aspects of Stargate and Stargate Atlantis (which is not hard in the latter’s case), liberally douse with the inferior elements of Voyager (which is definitely not hard), generously sprinkle with horrific acting and substandard plots, and blend thorughly with copious quantities of suck and …

Happy days are here again

Rachel Lucas appears to have returned to blogging. …

we will exceed our competitors’ prices!

There is a reason Gander Mountain does not get too much of my business… Last weekend, I rented and shot a 7-round 686 from Coal Creek Armory after this all-too-distracting post from Caleb – after all, none of the ranges in our area had an SP101 to rent, so I …
