all-in-one and on your back

For those folks out there who are more of the “head into the hills and live off the land” mentality of “bugging out” (and we will not even go into whether or not that is a valid tactic in this post), the JakPak may be right up your alley – …

atlas shrugged

Atlas Shrugged, Part 1: Some parts of it dragged longer than I might have done (specifically the anniversary party scene and sex scene), and some things were a bit understressed in my opinion (specifically how irrationally depraved the looters were, and how they exhibited that behavior), but speaking as someone

a not so simple question

Why do we bother having a “debt ceiling” if we just increase it every time we get close to exceeding it?…

we need a database of government incompetence

Why do I, personally, oppose secretive governmental “lists”, registration, databases, or any other means the government, at any level, has of tracking its citizens and then storing that information in a centralized fashion?

Because of stupid-assed gos-se like this:

Today is not a good day to be a Texan.

quote of the day – ellen

Back in the summer of 2002, I had the honor of being attached to the USS Iwo Jima as she participated in the first New York City Fleet Week event following the World Trade Center mass murders, and, at the time, the thing that made the single biggest impact on …

quote of the day – joan peterson

I have spoken previously concerning how Joan Peterson is the face of “gun control” (though Colin Goddard is desperately trying to supplant her), how the majority of Joan’s arguments are based on inherently flawed logical fallacies, and how some of her positions are borderline disgusting in their flagrant

not quite the booms expected

Why have I not yet gotten into reloading? Well, apart from the high initial startup costs, the lack of a good place to set up a rig at the moment, and the low frequency of my range trips for the past few months, there are also things like this: …

an interesting comparison

Last week, Senator Lamar Alexander replied to an email I sent him concerning the impending decision from the BATFE on the importability of certain shotguns; at the time, I noted how the letter seemed to consist mostly of grandstanding about the Senator’s past efforts in regards to the Second Amendment, …

Protip: Synonyms

If you are a recent J-School graduate assigned to the local cime beat, here is a tip for you:
A Burglary is not a Robbery.

The terms are not synonymous.

quote of the day – jason horowitz

A lot of the laughing I direct at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership is a byproduct of them pretending to be supremely knowledgeable on the topic of firearms, but regularly exposing their base, militant ignorance for all the world to see; and a lot if it …

oh, the horror

Will I have to turn in my nerd/geek credentials if I admit that H.P. Lovecraft did precisely nothing for me?

I worked my way up to Beyond This Wall of Sleep, and then skipped ahead to The Call of Cthulhu to see if it ever got any better, and …

assault clips, or how to misappropriate the language

In this post, I will endeavor to go where… well… everyone has gone before; however, it does seem to be necessary, and it will make a nice addition to my collection.

In terms of firearms, this is a clip:

Specifically, it is a stripper clip, also known as …

Gail Kerr: Still an idiot

The last time we talked about Tennessean columnist Gail Kerr, she was praising a vigilante for running a woman off the road and kidnapping her son. She’s been off for a while due to an illness, but she’s back and clueless as ever.

The title to her latest column is …

Boarding School

That’s where Casey is until this weekend. She is hanging out at Nashville K-9* for their Two Week Board and Train program. Last summer we went to a demonstration of theirs and were very impressed by the work they were able to do with a 4 month old Golden …

the failure of gun control, again

By now, you have undoubtedly heard about the horrific murder of 12 children at a school in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and given how much I am typically behind the curve on current events, it should come as no surprise to anyone that others have beaten me to what …
