reach out and touch someone

I sat on this link long enough for everyone else to have already covered it, but, hey, I need something else to write about today.

I have never really seen the need to add a .50 BMG rifle to my armory – the rifles themselves cost a bleeding fortune and …

sad panda alert

By now, regular readers should know my position regarding using polls as support for further “gun control” legislation, so this post is not even going to go into the fallacy of believing that individual rights are, or should be, subject to the whims of popular opinion; instead, I …

money and lies

A lot of anti-rights cultists like to make a lot of pointless noise over how the National Rifle Association is “buying” Congress, or “buying” helpful legislation, or “paying” to have “common sense gun laws” shut down. Unfortunately for those cultists, those noises are just so very much hot air, …

saf-spam

One of my most-annoying sticking points I have with the NRA is the sheer quantity of spam – both physical and electronic – that organization sends me on a weekly basis. So much of my yearly dues, if not all of my yearly dues, are wasted in the printing of …

caracals at orsa

If you plan on being near the Knoxville region on the 21st of May, I can guarantee you will be able to find me at this little shindig:

On 21 May 2011 the Oak Ridge Sportsman Association (ORSA) will be hosting the Smoky Mountain Championship – Sponsored by CaracalUSA.

In Honor of Carolyn McCarthy

I had no interest in buying these until the day you decided I shouldn’t be able to.…

something to think about

Like many people of our generation, Better Half and I do not maintain a landline – any verbal communication we want to handle can be done by way of cell phones, and the added cost simply did not make sense to us. However, our cell phones have a habit of …

the mechanic

The Mechanic – I will not deny that I have a not-insignificant man-crush on Jason Statham, but pairing him against Ben Foster has to go down as the worst in a long line of bad ideas coming out of Hollywood… …

apparently i need better hardware

At Weer’d’s request, behold the crappy video of the new R2C intake for the Bullitt:

Unfortunately, both my Flip and my cell phone appear to want to listen to the belts in the engine far more than the intake itself, but if you listen past the belt noise, you …

Don’t mess with The Dave

Last weekend I went to a Dave Ramsey Live Event. Now, we are debt free except the house and if you take FPU you’ll see me in the audience a few times, so I didn’t go to learn anything. I bought tickets for my mother, sister, and brother-in-law as …

Constitutional Carry Bill Introduced

SB0397 in the Senate, by Campfield. It was filed today, and has no co-sponsors and no companion bill in the House.

Just quickly going through it I don’t see any major problems. These bills are not set in stone until the Governor signs them so we’ll need to keep …

do not say i never gave you anything

I am a big visual person… I prefer people show me things as opposed to explain them to me, and I learn a lot faster that way – let me watch what you are doing a few times, and the odds are pretty good that I can emulate it with …

reciprocation

As Groundhog, ViolentIndifference, and Gator just discovered, one of the best ways – if not the best way – to secure a link in the blogroll list to the right is to link to me and then drop me a comment letting me know. I cannot say as though …

the big lebowski

The Big Lebowski – What the hell was that, aside from one of the worst ways to waste an hour-and-a-half of my life? …

gun control and polls

The even-shorter version of my post from this weekend:

Using polls as leverage to support further gun control just means you think the South should have been permitted to keep their slaves.

After all, most Southerners believed that the slave-holders should have been able to keep their property, and …

fighting a losing battle

An interesting thing is happening to anti-rights nuts – they are alienating people, and those people are letting them know it.

In the past few months, thanks to the heavy-handed “moderation” demonstrated by Joan Peterson and “Baldr Odinson“, no fewer than two separate pro-rights weblogs – An NC

a talon for a lifetime

Courtesy of Sharp as a Marble, Marooned, and Weer’d World, we have this outstanding news regarding the Dragon Leatherworks Talon holster:

I’m going to go out on a limb here, based on what I see in interest in the Talon (by way of e-mail inquiries and

rights are called rights for a reason

I know I spend a lot of time generating up pretty pictures, and I know I spend a lot of time discussing the merits of firearm ownership, and I know I spend a lot of time debunking the idiotic and bigoted arguments of the anti-rights nuts, and I know I …

more hardware for sale

My Open Top revolver is still for sale if anyone is interested, but if that does not suit your fancy, ZerCool has quite a few firearms for sale, including a S&W 28-2 Highway Patrolman, an Interarms Virginia Dragoon, and a Thompson-Center Contender pistol, among other things… He is having …

this is getting confusing

Is there any way to get blockquotes to show up properly inside of the Android version of Google Reader? Because the standard [blockquote] tag does not appear to provide any formatting at all when reading feeds on my phone, and I have walked away from posts thoroughly confused more than …
