Not to brag (ok… maybe a little), but back about two months ago when I started kung fu (and before I got into airsoft, though that has only been two weekends so far), I was 6’2” tall, weighed 167 pounds, and had about 10% body fat.
My schedule has been absolutely crazy of late, and shows no indications of letting up any time soon, so I have not had the opportunity to go down and take a look at Coal Creek Armory‘s new Outpost in Kingston. Thankfully, Brick did exactly that, and shares with us …
One of the many joys of living in a relative backwater like Knoxville is that I have been able to observe the spread of the Thousands of Sexual Assaulters’ cancer-inducing, ionizing-radiation-spewing backscatter "security" systems from afar, without having to actually partake of the privacy-invading glow.
If I were to be bluntly, brutally honest, I would describe BSA Optics‘ products as "affordable, functional, but nothing special", at least from my own personal experience. They get the job done, and they are great for people with limited budgets, but there can be concerns about long-term reliability, …
Regular readers should be wholly familiar with my fascination with pistol-caliber carbines, but two things have always kept me from purchasing one. First, I own none of the handguns with which any of …
For those who are interested in those kinds of things, this morning a source informed me that Michael Bonomo (aka "mikeb302000") has been banned from Daily Kos*, apparently for maligning, insulting, and libeling veterans; maliciously misrepresenting comments from others in damaging fashions; perpetrating specious ad hominem attacks; and engaging …
Unfortunately, we have other plans, but if you are in the Nashville region on the 8th and have some free time, I would strongly recommend attending the We Stand With Gibson rally and free concert between 1400 and 1600 at the Scoreboard Restaurant. I do not know their names, …
If you live in the greater Knoxville region (and specifically the western side of town), you might want to seriously consider this Living Social deal for Coal Creek Armory. $99 for a year-long membership to both ranges (regularly $200), $45 for a handgun carry permit class (regularly $90), and/or …
Not to turn this into a measuring contest, but remind me again how much money the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Ownership, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership, and the Violence Policy Center Facilitators have donated to Soldiers’ Angels, or any organizations like them?
If it sounds this stupid when we, the people, say it, how it is any less stupid when the government – and, specifically, Our Glorious President – does it?
(And, yes, pictures/cartoons can count as quotes – that whole "thousand words" thing…)
Late last week, when our sifu was teaching us the first staff form for kung fu (yes, we are starting weapons as no-belts… I have some reservations about this), and after I had successfully thwacked myself about twenty different times, I asked him when we were going to learn bat’leth…
“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. …The right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” by Hubert Humphrey
