funny* realization

Firearms are "energy weapons".

little things count

As regular readers probably know, I write this weblog for me, not you.  I love that you all come here and comment, I love the discussions we get into, and I sincerely thank you for the information you provide along the way, but the simple truth is that I would …

dare i hope?

So yesterday afternoon, I received the following email from the official “shotgunstudy@atf.gov” email address at the BATFE: 

U.S. Department of Justice
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

Dear Sir or Madame:

Thank you for responding to the Shotgun Study. Your assistance will further promote ATF’s ability to support the

pop quiz, part the second

What is this? 

DoctorsWithoutTextDoctorsWithoutText

(Click to really, really embiggenate – do not say I did not warn you.) 

Give up? 

This is me accepting a damned good suggestion, and running with it. 

As you all are probably aware by now, I am a firm proponent that graphics and pictures can take …

how not to be a victim

We spend a lot of time talking about firearms and self-defense and rights and tactics and considerations and legalities and all the rest of that good nonsense on a regular basis here at "walls of the city", but the simple truth of the matter is that the most valuable, most …

there are alternatives

Now that Blogger has once again demonstrated how craptacular it can be, I figure I will publicize this little offer a little more than I have in the past.

I have an unlimited storage / unlimited bandwidth account with Dreamhost, and, as you can imagine, I use an absurdly …

so much for that

Whatever happened to the not-so-novel concept of people doing what they say they are going to do?  I guess taking people at their word is just expecting too much these days…  …

csgv is the canary

While the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence is undeniably irrelevant, I still believe it is important to keep tabs on what they, and their followers/members, think of pro-rights activists throughout the country, if only to better gauge the desperation of the anti-right cultists – the organization closest to being …

apture, not aperture

I am currently testing out the Apture… functionality… on “wotc” – highlight some text, give it a second or two, and it will do an inline search for you, both here and across the cortex.  Likewise, when you scroll down, a toolbar shows up at the top of the …

too busy making asses of themselves

While the anti-rights cultists are busy stalking anyone who dares to disagree with them, we are busy winning:

So the 2011 legislative session in Indiana was pretty good to gun owners. We went six for six, with everything from improved preemption to a “Don’t Ask, Don’t

quote of the day – tirno

All analogies are flawed – it is just the name of the game. Just as photocopiers degrade the quality of a document every time it gets run through the system (a flawed analogy on its own), so too does something get lost in the conversion from one topic to another. …

the mother of all ass-handings

Really, just go read the whole thing – any attempt I make to pull quotes or comments out of it will merely diminish its awesomeness, and no one would want that.…

one little question for the csgv

And any of the four people who work for that bigoted, anti-rights organization – Michael K. Beard, Joshua Horwitz, Ladd Everitt, or Manda Kelley – may feel welcome to come forward and provide an answer; unlike them, I do not only accept comments from people who agree with me.

Embody in the news again

Only this time, it doesn’t involve openly carried AK pistols. Also, unlike the other times we’ve talked about him here, he doesn’t sound like the biggest douchebag involved the story.

That particular award goes to Sgt. Danny Strope, who also wants to be Gallatin’s new police chief.

Since The …

short-notice deal

… Or, well, semi-short notice, since they have been warning about "limited stock" for about two weeks now, and are still selling the product.

Anywise, head on over to the Novatac 120ST Storm listing at Battery Junction, put one in your cart, and punch in "NOVATAC60" as your coupon …

the bullying troll known as the csgv

doublefacepalmdoublefacepalmIt would appear as though Ladd Everitt and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence has devolved from threatening a man’s family over a difference of opinions, to threatening multiple pro-rights webloggers’ families (including mine now) over differences of opinion.

What do these anti-rights bigots hope to achieve with their …

… the Police are Minutes Away

Okay, so you know how anti-rights people say we don’t need guns because the police will protect us?

And you know how we have that saying “When seconds count, the police are only minutes away”?

Well here is a graphic illustration of the point. A man called 911 and told …

handgun carry permit holders are more law-abiding

Once again, I am going to blatantly steal a positively outstanding idea from Bob S. while he was busy trying to steal his original idea back from me – just how law-abiding are people who carry firearms? We already know that the Violence Policy Center likes to redefine words like
