north cumberland wildlife management area firing range – a review

This past weekend, Better Half and I took a drive up to the free-to-the-public Royal Blue / North Cumberland Wildlife Management Area Firing Range about 36 miles north of downtown Knoxville.

What? You did not know there was a range up there, or that it was free? Well, it is …

kibitzing from the sidelines

Is anyone else getting bored with the firearm industry? More and more it seems like fewer and fewer companies are willing to try something completely new and revolutionary, and, instead, are just seeing how many different materials they can make existing designs out of, or how many calibers they …

in which i completely recant what i said

So late last year, I wrote a post generally defending Red Jacket Firearms and their Discovery Channel television show, “Sons of Guns”, from those who considered it to be less-than-satisfactory.

Well here is me, saying I was wrong. Better Half and I have completely given up on Sons of Guns, …

they should share notes

So here is a random thought… 

According to the great and all-knowing Federal Government, I am sufficiently mature, trustworthy, law-abiding, and responsible to safely and lawfully operate items regulated by the National Firearms Act, up to and including fully-automatic firearms, suppressors, and even grenades. 

However, according to the sheriffs and …

i have no idea what i would do with it

… But I kind of want one:

Image(9)Image(9)

What you see there is none other than a Benjamin Rogue .357 Pre-Charged Pneumatic air rifle, as marketed by Crossman. Regular readers of gunblogs will be aware of that conveniently coincidental caliber’s introduction into the realm of air rifles, and …

people like @kingericthe1st are why i carry a firearm

I completely understand why people do not follow Twitter, but damned if it does not keep producing absolutely wonderful blogfodder material.

Take, for example, the individual tweeting behind the screen name "@KingEricThe1st" aka King Eric the First aka Eric L. Hughes, Sr. It would appear as though King Eric took …

quote of the day – better half

Upon meeting the brand-spanking-new Vera shortly after about 25 rounds were slammed through it at Coal Creek Armory, Better Half had this to say:

It smells like mistletoe and Christmas!

I would explain, but it is just too damned funny as is.

Hopefully she will be as enthralled with …

why are gun control extremists so abusive?

[Note:  If excessive foul language, abusive mentalities, and borderline death threats are not your cup of tea, I would advise against reading through this post; I did not write any of that particular material, but I do believe it should be preserved for the future.]

Yesterday, I had the… misfortune… …

where i pass up so many good puns

The only (and I do mean only) good part about gut-reaming stomach bugs is that you can come home early from work.  On one of the busiest days I have ever had at my current job.  Before the second-busiest week.  *sigh* 

Anywise, on that happy note, I will leave …

quote of the day – @chriszump

Aside from my previous post dealing more with people’s reactions to the event rather than the event itself, I have largely avoided discussing the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, and I plan on keeping up that topical silence in the near future. Why? Well, to begin with, we …

the celebration of double standards

I am sure I have written about this in the past, but I continue to be astonished at how anti-rights cultists‘ brains work… or, for the most part, do not work.

For instance, by now, most of my readers are probably aware of the unfortunate case wherein George Zimmerman …

like the second amendment foundation

I have rightfully “had beef” with the Second Amendment Foundation’s borderline illegal “fundraising” campaigns, but the truth of the matter is that they get the job done when it comes to protecting and preserving our Second-Amendment-protected rights.  So head on over to their Facebook page and give

quote of the day – marko kloos

This one goes out to all of the anti-rights cultists and "gun control" extremists out there, courtesy of Major Caudill Marko:

We can argue any or all of the points above for hours, but there’s one thing that, on a philosophical level, you will never be able to make

quotes of the day – united states district judge benson everett legg

No, “may issue” is not dead, and it probably will not even be going away in Maryland*, but this recent summary judgment for Woollard v. Sheridan is just chock-a-block full of interesting and all-too useful quotes… Like this one:

For all of these reasons, the Court finds that the

it is a good start

But only a start. In a just world, I would be happy about this photo:

secondamendmentfoundationchecksecondamendmentfoundationcheck

Perhaps not ecstatic – simply because that dollar value is tremendously low for the scope of the abridgements of Constitutionally-protected rights perpetrated by the city of Chicago – but at least happy.

But this …

you do not have to be a big daddy

… to help out a little sister. Sorry, that pun was just sitting there, and no one else seemed to want to use it…

Anywise, Erin is… well… interesting, and proudly so. She is an unapologetic goth, a freelance writer, a lover of My Little Pony (which I had no …

… but i’m also a member

IMG_3915IMG_3915I am a fan of ENDO Apparel’s line of t-shirts, there is no doubt about it.  The shirts he uses are just amazingly soft, the designs are delightfully poignant, and some of them definitely fall under the “winkwinknudgenudge” category. 

So when the genius behind them hit me up a …

used up my quota for the year

Surprisingly, I do occasionally get good ideas… Better Half and I threw a party this weekend for her birthday, and she wanted to do Krystal / White Castle sized BBQ sandwiches… but neither of us knew where exactly to get hamburger buns of that diminutive size. I thought about it …

keeping score on their irrelevance

Speaking of graphics, it would appear as though the hoplophobic "gun control" extremists at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership has released another one of their yearly "scorecards"*. What does that have to do with pretty pictures? Not a darned thing, but Barron’s analysis of that scorecard generated
