    Sensibly Progressive on October 11th, 2008
    A few weeks ago I blogged that voting for Obama would guarantee us a worse recession or full blown depression based on energy policies that care more about environmentalists than the American People. And I still stand behind that statement, even though once the credit froze and the panic started even $5 a barrel oil wouldn't break it loose (whether...
  • Hurricane Guns?
    Learn About Guns on October 11th, 2008
    Before each of the major hurricanes this year, I’ve seen people arrive at this site after searching for “hurricane gun”, and similar terms.  At first I attributed this to people worried about the wrongful gun confiscation after Hurricane Katrina, but upon further review it seems that was not what people were looking for: Instead,...

  • Revision’s Desert Locust Goggles
    Gun Pundit on October 11th, 2008
    So I’m checking out the Desert Locust Military Goggle System from Revision Eyewear and my 10-year-old daughter says “You look like you should have a fake laser thingy.” “A ‘fake laser thingy’?” I ask. “Yeah. A fake laser thingy. Like someone in a bad science fiction movie from the 70s.” At that ...
  • A PERFECT SATURDAY
    Home on the Range on October 11th, 2008
    After the Santa Fe inspired Breakfast (previous post) off to my friends at our usual spot at the range. I brought just the P220 today, but had a chance to play with some other toys including a Ruger Mark II 22/45. A very nice shooting 22. There was revolver action and we pretty much shot until our happy fingers had blisters on them. I tried som...

So if you are reading this, and you are in Distr...

    Snowflakes in Hell on October 11th, 2008
    In the past week, I’ve bought four guns.  Three of them I bought today.  There was the Kel-Tec at the show last week.  I just got my ParaUSA LDA .45 and the ParaUSA LTC 9 for Bitter, and also picked up the Marlin .17HMR rifle I won two weeks ago at the Friends of the NRA dinner.  Four guns in a week.  Three guns in a day.  CeaseFire Pen...
  • Good reloading news!
    Sharp as a Marble on October 11th, 2008
    In all the forums and all the places I've looked regarding loading of 45 ACP, a common theme is 4.6-5.5 grains of TiteGroup powder using CCI #300 primers. Incidentally, for the 10mm I use TiteGroup powder and CCI #300 primers. How lucky is that?...

    Oh yeah, pretty clearly Sarah Palin is a rube who doesn’t know how to handle a gun.  Only LA Times reporters know that.  I’ll tell you, I’d feel a lot safer on a trap field with Sarah Palin than an LA Times reporter. - Sebastian       ...
