free is good

This week’s GearHog deal is a free chance at one of two $50 gift cards to Bass Pro Shops

Yes, free. 

‘Course, your chances are currently two out of 431 as of the time of this post, so I am certainly not going to say you have a good

for a more civilized time

A few good folks have been commenting of late about how badly they want a KRISS, but life invariably gets in the way… Well, I am here to tell you that never before have you seen a KRISS look this good:

That, my friends, is an officially-licensed-and-endorsed rendition …

bigotry in honesty

Sometimes, when I am trying to find quotes for this category, I have to dig pretty far, or stretch the original meaning of the quote a bit much for even my tastes… but sometimes, a person’s comment is just so blatantly bigoted, so absurdly narrow-minded, and so obviously antagonistic that …

no toy for me

Speaking of plastic-fantastic pistols, CAA Tactical has finally made it clear that the RONI modular carbine kit will not be compatible with the all-steel original Baby Eagle / Jericho, and instead will only work with the polymer-framed Jericho PL and PSL (which makes sense, given the carbine seems to …

a case-in-point for "high"-capacity magazines

Alternative title – "it is all fun and games until someone’s head gets bashed in".

Revolvers are classy as all get-out, and I love the hell out of carrying my 686 SSR (especially in its new leather, which I need to photograph and review here sometime soon), but the sad …

As always, Tam is right

It’s not the zombies you have to worry about, it’s the face eating monkeys!

And in this case, the monkey might have been on meth!…

this is the future of america

My parents keep telling me that it is incumbent upon my generation and the generation after me to fix all of the various economic and political problems that their generation and the generation before theirs have created over the past 50 years. Every time they bring that up, I have …

Just so I’m clear

To recap: In 2009 we were told that if we didn’t pass Obama’s stimulus, unemployment would exceed 8%. After two years of 9.5%+ unemployment, we were told if we didn’t raise the debt limit by yesterday, the market would tank. It went down 500pts after the largest debt ceiling increase …

yesterday, at best buy

Better Half and I were out shopping for (or at least trying on) laptops yesterday (speaking of, if anyone is aware of a <5 pound, <$500, >14" laptop that would probably hold up for a few years, feel free to sound off), and we were in our local blue-and-yellow big-box …

We can’t let teachers have all the fun!

First the Department of Education gets a SWAT team.

Now the FDA and Agriculture Department have one!

Yay for ninjas protecting us from the horrors of knowingly buying raw milk!

quote of the day – helen keller

One of the more amusing – and vacuous – arguments put forward by "gun control" supporters (aka anti-rights cultists) on a frighteningly frequent basis is that they are only attempting to abridge, infringe upon, and limit Constitutionally-protected rights "for your own safety". The flippant response to such a comment …

make a vote, lose a vote

My requirements for my duly-elected representatives to get my votes are fairly simple: respect and preserve my rights, do your best to minimize government, and stand up for what you believe in. Through their failings in one or more of those categories, Representative John Duncan and Senator Bob Corker both

take stock of your preparations

Is anyone surprised that Scott Adams grasps concepts that anti-rights cultists militantly refuse to:

After all, his grasp on reality is arguably more developed than most.  …

lucky gunner – customer service fail

Over two weeks ago, I sent an email to the Lucky Gunner customer service address with a series of questions regarding Lucky Gunner’s silent ownership of Ammo.net, BulkAmmo.com, AmmoforSale.com, GunsForSale.com, and Military Ballistic Industries. The only response I have received was from their automated system acknowledging receipt.

Thus, …

I’d be belligerent, too

Remember Andrea Abbott, the Tennessee mom who was arrested for “lashing out” at TSA agents who groped her daughter?

Well, she was in court yesterday. Nothing happened since she didn’t plead guilty, so her preliminary hearing was moved to Oct 13. The interesting thing was that The Tennessean has …

Convenience

For the last month or so, the MSM has been hollering about the debt ceiling needing to be raised, and how Republicans are evil for not comprimising (read: capitulating).

Last night, the House voted on a compromise bill that most people–people not me–claim this is an epic win …

a far-too-logical question

Now that Representative Gabrielle Giffords is back on the job (and as disappointingly “progressive” as ever), all of the usual useful idiots are clamoring about how her return should give Congress all the motivation it needs to start passing more/stronger “gun control”.  That is great, except for one small question:  …

chiappa / mks supply recovery

Last Friday morning, I sent a somewhat heated email to the staff at MKS Supply regarding their rather insulting and demeaning closing lines in a recent press release concerning RFID tags in their firearms. Impressively, this morning, I received the following email from Charles Brown, the president and owner of …
