Face. Palm. Some assembly required.

Overheard at the (new) office (this is from memory, but the basic ideas are here):

Worker1: Hey did you hear about that guy who tried to get into the cockpit while screaming “Allah Akbar”?
Worker2: Oh God, where did you hear that? Did you get that from some insane website

almost like you were there

As regular readers are no doubt aware by now, I did not make it to either the National Rifle Association’s Annual Meetings or the yearly Boomershoot, both of which are on my "eventually but not this year" list. Sadly, it seems as though I missed out on a lot of …

for your numismatic needs

You may now consider Montana Rarities to be tentatively recommended by "walls of the city".

Despite letting Mike know up front that I was going to be one of his smallest purchasers, he took the time to answer my neophyte questions over the phone, and satisfy what few qualms I …

quote of the day – david hardy

diogenesdiogenesA little while ago, I bemoaned the distinct and marked lack of logically-consistent individuals amongst the anti-rights nuts of America:

I feel like a modern-day Diogenes with his lamp, looking for a consistent man amongst the anti-rights nuts… and while the Internet provides one hell of a lot of wattage,

csgv hates us for our rights

Today presented another leaden opportunity to peer into the dark, twisted, demented depths of the mind driving the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Ownership Twitter account (in all likelihood, that anti-rights organization’s “Director of Communications”, Ladd Everitt), and, hey, when you get the chance to procure some free blogfodder, it …

silence is winning

We must be moving up in the gunblogosphere here at “walls of the city” – we just got this very interesting press release emailed to us from a very interesting corporation: 

Silencerco to be Featured on Discovery Channel’s MythBusters

Top designer and manufacturer of gun silencers and suppressors will be

Thor: Take the concept that Norse mythology Asgardians are superhuman aliens from across the galaxy, multiply it by some of the best computer graphics I have seen in a while, and throw in some semi-decent one-liners, and the end result is that you should definitely see this at some …

yesterday, at organized play

Well, at least it was yesterday by the time we left…

soulconduitsoulconduitSaturday evening, Better Half and I headed into Knoxville’s "Old City" to partake of the Magic: the Gathering "New Phyrexia" prerelease tournament being held at Organized Play there – we confess to being relatively unimpressed with this particular set/cycle, …

only a little behind the times

So why have I allowed my social-media-phobic tushy to be (at least partially) sucked into the black hole known as “Twitter”? Simple:

DogHouseDiariesTwitterDogHouseDiariesTwitter

We literally live in a world where someone unwittingly liveblogged a super-secret assassination mission as it was going down, and hours before the first glimmers of it …

Degrees

Bad day: Not paying attention when merging into traffic after exiting the Interstate, causing you to sideswipe another motorist.

Worse day: You do the same thing, only you hit three motorcyclists.

Worst day of your life: The motorcyclists are Tennessee State Troopers.

I drove by this scene probably a …

if it looks stupid, but it works, it is not stupid

One of the more-annoying (in the "just how stupid are you?" fashion) arguments of the anti-rights cultists when they are speaking out against private ownership of firearms is that, speaking hypothetically, if the situation were to go to pot and tyranny ran free throughout the American government, the untrained masses …

disband the atf. now.

If I were to go upstairs and hack off two inches of my Remington 870’s barrel (an action that hurts no one, except possibly the barrel), making it somewhere around 16 inches in length (the same length as my AR-15’s barrel), and if law-enforcement agencies were to find out, I …

hang them all out to dry

I sat on this story for the past day with the expectation that my mind would eventually be able to settle down, and I would be able to write a coherent, non-expletive-filled post about it. I have failed in that venture, so, instead, I will present the following almost without …

quote of the day – mike w.

One of the more-amusing things to come out of the mouths/fingers of anti-rights cultists are the alternatives they suggest to self-defense by way of a firearm. To be certain, employing deadly force against another human being should be an avenue of last resort, but that option does not even occur …

quote of the day – jay g

I have been openly carrying my sidearm for over a year now, and while not all of my experiences could be quantified as "positive", not a single one of them are demonstrably "negative" either. In fact, if there is one consistent thing to be said about my open carry …

no blood in the beers

Every single time the laws of this country are adapted to better protect and preserve the individual right of self-defense, the anti-rights cultists of America inundate the airwaves with prognostications of firearm owners wantonly mowing down innocent civilians in fits of rage, accidents with firearms claiming the lives of defenseless …

csgv lies. again. still. constantly.

Helpful hint to Michael K. Beard: giving Ladd Everitt the keys to the Twitter account for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence* might have been the worst idea ever, unless, of course, you want your organization to look increasingly worse every day.

In the very recent past, Ladd has …
