soldiers’ angels last-minute update

$So, I had promised that we were going to do the prize drawing for the Soldiers’ Angels Fundraiser and Giveaway tomorrow. 

I am going to have to postpone that on you. 

Like I mentioned a few days ago, CRKT has promised some prizes for the giveaway, but I am …

caution: fragile bubble of delusion ahead

Say you hold to a belief, or set of beliefs.

Say you are 100%, unequivocally convinced that those beliefs are the correct beliefs to hold.

Say you know it is just a matter of time until you convince everyone else of the correctness of your beliefs.

Given that set of …

crkt and soldiers’ angels

As my last drive-by post of the day, I would point out that the ticker-tracker to the left appears to be stuck at $1925 with only three days and change left in the Soldiers’ Angels Fundraiser and Giveaway. While you generous folks have already blown away my initial pipe …

pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

Hopefully my past week of canned posts kept y’all entertained, and, if not, oh well – it would appear as though we need a vacation from our vacation*, so here is another post of me just filling up space by documenting how awesome Penn and Teller are:

Who’s going to

schrödinger’s osama

If you do not have any records of your military assets killing a man and dumping his body into the ocean, is he really dead, and did you really kill him?

Obviously the records, photographs, and other documentation for the purported hit are classified and will be kept under wraps …

competing guns

I am not above admitting I am wrong. Such admissions are exclusively born out of conclusive evidence proving my error, but if that data is there, it is there, and it would be intellectually dishonest of me to ignore it.

hexing your sights

Now this is an interesting fixed-sight concept:

Hexagonal aperture. Looking at a sight inevitably lessens a shooter’s concentration on the target. It is physiologically impossible to focus simultaneously on a near and far object. The HexSite® provides the most sympathetic and energizing geometrical form to the human

how to get my attention

While the movie was not earth-shatteringly awesome, Justin Timberlake’s performance in “In Time” was certainly believable and engaging, and while I would likewise force no one to watch Friends with Benefits, it cemented – at least in my mind – that Justin might be something approximating …

keeping people onboard

One of the more sobering experiences during Better Half’s and my recent trip out to my parents incongruously occurred during an office holiday party / smoke-out they hosted at their house. This office employs a large number of former Navy folks and currently does a lot of contractor work for …

an unfortunate barometer

I admit to being way the hell behind the curve on this, and I apologize for that, but given my writings on the topic in the past, it should come as no surprise to anyone that my reaction to this news was a heartfelt, “Good!”:

we are winning – carry edition

I cannot say as though I know a single thing about Tactical Advantage Corp based out of Corryton, TN (except that I absolutely hate webpages that have repeating noises running in the background), but they work with Coal Creek Armory and Parafrog, so they cannot be all bad.

the inertia is starting to turn

The NRA hates NFA items… right?

Wrong:

Earlier this year Chris Cox, Executive Director of the NRA, and Scott Chrisman, Deputy Chief Of Staff, wandered into Silencerco’s SHOT show booth. Immediately I recognized who they were and started to light them up about how they were doing nothing for

say uncle / ctc and soldiers’ angels

Alright, folks, we are coming into the home stretch. You officially have less than two weeks to get any final donations in to the Soldiers’ Angels Fundraiser and Giveaway before it shuts down and the prizes are distributed to the winners. Better yet, we are within easy striking distance of …
