Charter Arms released a white paper that took me a few days to get to but tonight I’d like to address a few of the items they posit. Any trainer will tell you that revolvers require less training than semi-autos to fire competently and safely thus making them the best firearm for the average citizen for self-defense pur...

That would be YOU, Steny Hoyer - House Majority Leader and vapid shitbag.House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) rejected the idea of continuing a congressional pay freeze until Congress can balance the budget, saying that it would take “a long time” until the budget might be balanced – too long, he said, for Congress to go without a pay ...

The rifle is from Germany.  The screwdriver from Connecticut.  The sight hood, cleaning rod, and sling are from China maybe.  An International effort.  The previous rifle I captioned was an M1 Garand.  This isn’t as much of a gun.  It’s nice looking but just not as useful overall.  Not that the r...

With the fall of France, the British were in desperate straits.  The British Isles were the Germans for the taking.  That the Germans were disinclined to seriously attempt such a feat is clear.  The British claim it was a few brave men in Spitfires and Hurricanes.  Myself, I believe it was pre-war visits by Germans foolish ...

People are passionate about their choice of handgun.  From the Beretta to the Sig everyone has an opinion adding to the great debates we see on the merits of a firearm. One thing is certain. If you manufacture a firearm people will let you know what they like and don’t like, not usually in that order. One of the manufacturers often debated i...

The land is violently green and it is raw, morning breaking with a crash of spray against a sea cliff, days stretching longer than the beaches that lie quietly in wait for a footstep to make an impression on them.There in the sand, small bits of history, small stones, a piece of bone that appears to have been carved, a perfect, pristine shell, bot...

Seems there was a shooting in Newark NJ.  Appears that some guy got bounced from a bar/club due to questionable ID, came back dealing in gunsmoke, and ended up on the wrong side of the grass shortly afterwards. But ya just gotta love this reporting; A veteran off-duty Essex County sheriff’s officer.….repeatedly firing his service revolver&...

North Carolina,like New Orleans, should be an example of tyranny - not freedom or liberty. For they government has negated liberty due to snow, banned the purchase of alcohol after certain hours, and the carrying in your car(known as private property) of firearms(also known as private property and protected by the Constitution to own and bear). But...

The piece below has a couple of errors. For example, Texas has one of the toughest right to carry laws in the country, so that implies that there are only about a dozen states (including those that ban concealed carry) that have more restrictive rules. From the WSJ:Lawmakers in firearm-friendly Texas are embroiled in a debate over how to make the...

We've been having fun. Two quick notes:Being without power for 30 hours sucks. 50 degrees is cold. Dog kept looking at us funny since he doesn't understand we don't have fur.

And plastic is bad for the environment for what reason? That the plastic will sit in a landfill for long periods of time before it disintegrates, but so will a rock. Why should we care in either case? The other irony is that 20 years ago environmentalists were upset about people using paper bags. Of course, using more paper bags increases the d...

One wonders if the Brady Campaign would find this a great example about how there are no cultural or intolerance overtones in the gun debate. Quoting from the Oakland officer: Sounds like you had someone practicing their 2nd amendment rights last night! Should’ve pulled out the AR and prone them all out! And if one of them made a furtive move...

Thanks to Joe Huffman for this one, from a friend of his who is a convert from the other side: Back in the days when I was very anti-gun, I tended to think of “gun nuts” as drooling, knuckle-dragging morons. Cavemen. Uneducated. Beer-drinking slobs who could barely read and who probably beat up their wives a lot. Maybe they were even all closet...
