unfamiliarity breeds ignorance

So what happened with the saga of the basement lights?

Well, there is a sordid tale behind it all… but the shortest story of all, since I doubt you all care about the particulars, is that on the recommendation of some good-and-generous folks, I purchased a new switch to …

quote of the day – happyexhaustion

One of the more-popular "gun control" extremists’ come-backs to pro-rights advocates expressing concerns over unconstitutional bans on certain types of firearms is, "No one is trying to take your guns away," or, "No one wants to take your guns away," or something similar. That would be great if it were …

one of the few redeeming features

If you should ever have the disastrous misfortune of finding yourself in or around Dahlgren, Virginia (otherwise known as "The Navy’s Purgatory") at dinnertime, like I was repeatedly last week, I would strongly recommend that you hit up Regina’s Pasta Factory at 4581 James Madison Parkway, right next to Pancho …

the naming pattern gets more… ironic

Interesting.

It is not quite a tablet, but it is not quite an e-reader either. Or is that "it is not just a tablet, but it is not just an e-reader", instead?

Bit hard to say, but if I had to make a baseless assumption, that was probably the …

it is funny what people convince themselves of

The ACLU still bitterly clings to it like an article of blind faith.

Countless "gun control" extremists cling to it like an article of blind faith.

And numerous supposedly-educated lawyers and legal-types would swear on a stack of Bibles that it is, and always has been, The Right Answer (while …

graphics matter, fire support

Going a slightly different direction with the data, Barron Barnett has taken a look at the FBI UCR report and how it correlates to the Brady Campaign state "scores". Predictably enough, it does not:

While R2 has increased, it is still inconsequential and shows absolutely zero correlation over

quote of the day – jmg257

By now, nearly every single other pro-rights weblog is aware of the cold hard truth that Michael Bonomo, writing under the assumed name "mikeb302000", is nothing more than a flame-baiting, attention-whoring, logically-deficient, ignorant, uneducated*, bigoted, lying troll with a admitted criminal history

we are winning… er… growing

Recent newcomer to the ramparts here at “walls of the city” and fellow pro-rights activist, Tac (now writing under the screenname “disavowedwithhonor”) has finally decided that just commenting on other people’s sites is not enough for him, and has thus spun off onto his own weblog, appropriately named Disavowed with

Apparently the new poster-victim of "gun control", …

yesterday*, at parafrog

I would like to thank Parafrog Airsoft here in Knoxville for not even batting an eye at the sight of someone lawfully and openly carrying a live firearm into their shop. 

Furthermore, I would like to thank them for answering my unquestionably stupid n00b questions, hooking me up with a …

do it again, only harder!

By now, you are aware of my reservations about the Discovery Channel’s show "Sons of Guns", but, apparently, those were only the tip of the iceberg. We are still a few episodes behind thanks to our remarkably busy September, but we caught the episode where Will decided that strapping …

competitive expansion

The Kingston branch of Coal Creek Armory is now open for business at 798 Gallaher Road. Despite talking with the President of CCA about their new location and discussing the research they did before opening it (traffic loads on the road, customers at the nearby range, etc.), I still …

guess i am not an “amateur” any more

You see that awesome new header image at the Empty Mags Podcast?

Yeah. I took that.

Crazier still? He paid me for it.

Please excuse me while I go do a happy dance.

So. Anywise. If you want a specific photo for your weblog header image, use on …

graphics matter, year the third, part two

Hot on the heels of the CDC updating their information for 2008, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has finalized their 2010 Uniform Crime Report, and I am happy to announce the below update to last year’s "Graphics Matter, Part Two" post, including some changes to standardize the "graphics matter" …

is there an electrician in the house?

No, seriously, do any of my readers have any training, formal or otherwise, in home wiring, AC electricals, fluorescent lighting, or related topics?  We are having a rather peculiar problem with our basement drop-ceiling lighting, and while we have reached the extent of my limited electrical theory knowledge, we want …

a convergence of rights

One of the more-popular one-liners of the pro-self-defense movement is, "I carry a firearm because a whole cop would be too heavy," which adequately covers the point that police are great at drawing chalk outlines around bodies, writing up reports, and arresting people or issuing citations after the fact, but …
