I watched all the RNC speeches today & I have to say that although they were all very good, Sarah Palin really knocked it out of the park! She really delivered tonight. My entire family sat......

Basics The Glock 17 is a polymer framed pistol, chambered for 9×19MM cartridge. The Glock 17 measures 7.3 inches long, 5.4 inches [...]...

By Gerard Valentino As we inch towards another anniversary of the September 11 attacks and the cowardly attack on Beslan School Number 1 in Russia, we have to wonder what the world has learned in the intervening years. In America, partisan bickering continues over the future in Iraq, and in Russia borders skirmishes continue over disputed provinces...

Nelson Lund, Heller and Second Amendment Precedent argues that Heller erred in trying to reconcile its result with US v. Miller, when it should simply have recognized that Miller was wrongly decided. Nelson Lund, Anticipating the Second Amendment Incorporation: The Role of the Inferior Courts argues that the 2nd Amendment should be incorporated ...

Two fun talks today. There was a good crowd a Duke Law School. I got to have dinner with an old friend from graduate school, Craig Newmark and his wife Betsy....

Sarah Palin just finished her speech. Incredible. Along with the stuff you would expect in a speech like this, an introduction and some nice words about her running mate, she took it straight to Obama and his campaign. It would have been easy to take lay off Obama, but she didn’t shy away from it at all:  “It’s easy to forget tha...

Tonight Bitter and I watched Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech for the nomination for Vice President.  Palin definitely has her delivery down.  She even said Minnesota that weird way people from there say it, and she recovered from her one fumble with a grace George W. Bush only wishes he had.  What I did not get from her manner of speaking ...

The answer isn't as simple as you might think. Many factors are in play, apparently. Because if you're a one term senator (and nothing else) and have pretty hair and a D after your name, it's not that important. Michael's point in spot on. The Democrats didn't seem to mind when fluffy pony boy was running for the #2 position. I don't remember there...

Gov. Palin's Proclamation on Jury Rights Day:WHEREAS, September 5, 2007, will mark the 337th anniversary of the day when the jury, in the trial of William Penn, refused to convict him of violating England's Conventicle Acts, despite clear evidence that he acted illegally by preaching a Quaker sermon to his congregation.WHEREAS, by refusing to apply...

I was hoping to see or talk to the folks over Labor Day but with the batphone ringing and 14 hour field days since, I was unable to. But they read the blog. . This is my Dad. He's just shy of 89. Yes 89. Mom has passed but Dad is happy and healthy, and remarried to a wonderful widowed lady we've known for years. We love her, and she's good for ...

From Robb Allen on Sarah Palin: I’ve said before, she’s not perfect, she’s going to have skeletons in her closet, but we live in a time where Jesus himself couldn’t get elected because someone would bring up the whole unmarried mother thing and that he changed water into wine without a proper Class B Miracle license. Those a...

The frenzy in which the media is going after Governor Sarah Palin's family is, to be frank, disgusting.....

Home invasions are becoming more and more popular in North Texas. Some are quick, entering through a sliding glass door and grabbing the flat screen TV, others are more involved and include violence towards the family residing in the home. Most often the home appears to be targeted for a specific purpose. The goblins think there are guns, jewelry, ...

I regret to report that this is not a genuine image of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. My heart was broken by this debunking. Hat tip to Dan Gifford (sigh)... ...

Here it happened to someone rather well known.  But this is a story that’s told over and over again in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and why I don’t believe you can license a right, and still pretend it’s not just a privilege. ...

This past summer, two things related to guns happened in NJ.  First, a pair of FedEx employee’s were busted stealing guns from a FedEx facility and selling them in the PJ’s, and secondly, a 15 year old was killed while sleeping in his bed, via the apartment below.  But this open Editorial asks people to post their thoughts.  Just rea...

I’ve heard this particular criticism in more than a few quarters, and not just in regards to Appleseed: The arrogance of thinking that any program that does not teach the way you do is “out of line” is just so bizarre, it is hard to fathom. Especially when we have such a high rate of success and happiness with the program. I might...

The Governor of AK or the Governor of AR?Just curious......

Greg posts a little wish list on toys he'd buy if he had the means.Spending north of one million dollars on rare and collectible guns would be very nice but I have more modest desires. Let's play a game of "If you had $10,000 to spend on firearms, what would you buy?".Me, I'd just make one phone call and have the following items shipped to my FFL ...

I mentioned the Brownell's catalog in the previous post. If you're a hardcore gun geek like me, you've no doubt spent countless hours with your nose buried in it, poring over exotic sights, walnut rifle stocks, titanium bits, and reproduction vintage handgun grips. Also, if you are like me, you have pounded your head in frustration wondering "Who l...

Story in the DC Examiner. Apparently police responded to the tripping of his burglar alarm, wound up searching his house, and now the 67 year old author faces up to ten years in the slammer because (1) his permit had expired and (2) he had an AR-15 and several magazines....
