we are winning

Behold – a reasonable, rational, informative, educational (well, apart from that being a starter pistol Governor Perry is holding), and remarkably-well-linked article on concealed carrying while jogging… from Slate:

Reporters asked newly announced presidential candidate Rick Perry on Monday whether he carries a gun while campaigning. Perry refused

the vorpal password

Yesterday was spent receiving copious quantities of Powerpoint-based training on Company X’s product that we have purchased and will be using at work here soon, but towards the end, we thankfully got around to finally putting hands on hardware, and seeing how all of this stuff actually works and plugs …

entering with a bang

It is always good to welcome yet another pro-rights weblogger into the fold, but it is even more satisfying when that individual rightfully rips the Brady Campaign a new one over their idiotic abuse of statistics in the process:

While anybody with more sense than a houseplant knows that suicide

mark one for the good guys

Barron Barnett’s State Sponsored Criminal Count is spinning merrily along about as well as we all knew/feared it would, but sometimes, only sometimes, there is a faint glimmer of hope on the horizon:

Geoffrey Asher just returned home from buying auto parts, and after coming out of a shed

the failure of popularity

A random thought occurred to me yesterday as I drove past Blacksburg, VA in the torrential downpour blanketing the East Coast…

The “gun control” / anti-rights movement is largely defined – and hamstrung – by their logical fallacies, but one they keep coming back to again and again like a …

… that word; i do not think it means… ah, screw it

It may take me a few moments to compose myself in order to adequately respond to this news, rather than just flail meaninglessly on the keyboard:

The Obama administration announced Thursday that it would suspend deportation proceedings against many illegal immigrants who pose no threat to national security or

want a hell of an arm workout?

– Take an empty two liter bottle, fill it with water, and screw the cap on tightly.
– Use one arm to hold it out at shoulder height with full extension, palm down.
– Let go of it.
– Now catch it before it goes more than a few inches …

the strange bedfellows of "gun control"

A little over two years ago, law-abiding open carrier Meleanie Hain took Lebanon, PA County Sheriff Michael DeLeo to court for his capricious and whimsical revocation of her Pennsylvania license to carry for lawfully openly carrying her firearm to her daughter’s soccer game.  Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, Mrs. Hain was violently

a lawsuit hardly cuts it

Regular readers will recall the series of posts I wrote concerning the killing of Jose Guerena by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, as well as my contentions that:

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department created this situation when they reached and stretched for every piece of unrelated information they could possibly

should have thought of that

Inspired by Tam pointing out a link I had never noticed before, all of the images I use in the above header background are available here.

‘Course, mine are not nearly as cool as some folks’… …

Weer’d Beard just saved my beer-drinking ass.

That is all.…

the collapse will not be aired

By and large, I do not go to political speeches, rallies, or events… I generally read faster than most people talk, so I tend to get bored, and the honest reality is that I hate having to listen to people tell other people that they are going to to do …

repeatedly out of pocket

If we are keeping anywhere near our schedule, Better Half and I should be on the road south to Atlanta at the moment to visit family. Sadly, I will not be making it to Dragon*Con this year, but some folks you might know will be, so it is probably worth …

suppressing is polite

The interesting thing, to me, at least, on this graphic plotting suppressor sales in various states is not so much the rankings of those states:

suppressorsalessuppressorsales

Instead, look at how the numbers are increasing from year to year – 15,089 in 2008, 20,353 in 2009, and 22,265 in 2010. 2011′s fiscal …

just sayin’

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, this is a plot of all hurricanes and hurricane-looking things that have passed within 100 statute miles of Knoxville as far back as they have data (the very late 1800s, apparently):

a decade later

Ten years ago this past night, Better Half and I started dating. 

Fair to say we have come a pretty long way since then, in some directions neither of us probably planned on…  But I think the ride has been worth it, and the company certainly cannot be beat.  Thanks …
