do not get distracted by the little things

Unfortunately, I am starting to see a slightly surprising amount of confusion from my fellow pro-rights activists regarding the tactics of our opponents, so I thought I would take a moment, consolidate my comments, and offer up some clarification here.

Put simply, Joan Peterson is an adherent to the belief …

going to start charging rent

I got home today and scampered downstairs to the basement to pick up my camera and go see how our baby cardinal was doing.  Incidentally, he had fledged and apparently moved on, but I did not know that at the time, and I only thought briefly about the funny looking …

you are responsible for your own safety

One of the things you will see us pro-rights activists harping on from time to time is "situational awareness". What does that mean? Well, the snarky answer is, "Exactly what it says," but the more-complete answer can be delivered by way of a story.

Last week, I was coming home …

know what is available to you

Dear authors of Strelok and Reticle Ranger:

You can thank me later for getting your software listed on the Zombie Shooters Association’s Best Gun Apps for iPhone and Gun Apps for Android page.

Sincerely,

x-men: first class

X-Men: First Class – Outstandingly chosen actors who gave performances I was not expecting, convincing story development (though how a certain character got his particular powers is left to the viewer’s imagination), seamless special effects, entertaining inter-character banter and relationships, and a compelling (or at least convincing) bad guy… I …

open-carry non-event

In honor of the Open Carry Day, I did as I always do and openly carried to Kroger and Wal-Mart as I ran my errands this morning (though in an awesome rig I really need to photograph at some point). 

Unsurprisingly, nothing happened. 

Hell, my “I need my space” …

he probably really meant it, too

I have tried for over two weeks now, but I simply cannot find the words to adequately address this news report:

If Bill Clinton had his way, there would be an Internet agency created by the U.S. government or United Nations to debunk malicious rumors that originate and spread

spicy eyes

So… teach me about pepper/OC/CS sprays. 

Specifically, what brands do people recommend?  What features should one look for?  And who makes a system that is capable of being easily carried on a keychain or in female clothing’s pockets (what few and small pockets they are)?  …

speaking of heroes

The owner of this home, and everyone who helped him, are likewise ranked amongst the other heroes in my book:

Since the video apparently got taken down, you can read the entire brief on what transpired here.  If anyone has a link to another copy of the video, I …

a smashingly good idea

Speaking as someone who did not drink in college and does not generally drink when out of the house, and thus someone who invariably ends up as the designated driver, I wish I had come up with Zingo; but regardless of its ownership, it is still a damned good …

So many levels of unpossible

Okay, so last night there was a shooting at a Nashville Park.

I urge you to go read that article for all the details, but there are soooooo many things here that I don’t even know where to begin, so let’s start with the obvious.

First, it’s illegal to …

going out of her way

Honestly, I never considered Angelina Jolie to be that good of an actress… This is not to say she was a bad actress, or even that she is not a good actress, but I would never have elevated her to my Top Ten list. Sure, she is certainly attractive enough, …

reiteration

I know I have said this in the past (repeatedly, in fact), but it would appear as though some folks need a refresher.  Likewise, I do not mean to steal a line from SayUncle, but it is a perfectly good line, and sums up the situation succinctly and clearly:  …

just say no

If you have absolutely no intentions of ever doing something, just say, “No.” 

If you have no desire to do something, just say, “No.” 

If you are never going to get around to something, just say, “No.” 

Do not prevaricate by giving a, “Maybe.”  Do not keep people’s hopes up …

big-bore ruskies

What I plan on doing to my Mosin-Nagant could be politely described as "bastardization" (though, to my credit, it makes no permanent alterations to the firearm).

What these two mad gunsmiths are doing to their Mosin-Nagants could only be described as "pure genius":

Over the last week, after collecting the

not-so-lucky gunner

Once again, this post is invariably going to annoy the hell out of a lot of people – if you want to avoid the drama, just skip on past, and go about your merry business.

Back in March, I wrote a post documenting my annoyance with Lucky Gunner’s mishandling of
