Georgia's Lieutenant Governor is a little unclear of a concept Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle on Monday shot down plans one lawmaker has to expand the places gun owners in Georgia may legally carry concealed weapons. Cagle, speaking with reporters at his Capitol office, said he had “no appetite” to revisit the concealed carry law. Sen. Mitch Seabaugh (R...

I have a feeling this guy and I wouldn't see eye to eye on many things, but he speaks such an obvious truth here that it's worth pointing out The Violence Policy Center in its report a year ago said that the answer is to get the guns off the streets. And while there are way too many guns on America's streets, the truth is that there are already to...

Cap'n Bob snaps a cool panorama. The fact that his wife moved during the picture makes it even more cool!...

Jim Shepherd at The Shooting Wire Despite the new administration's insistence that jobs and the economy will be the top priority beginning January 20, insiders say payback to the NRA and other pro-Second Amendment groups is high on the agenda. Democratic advisors say the Republican party is "disorganized, disheartened, and dissolving" and it's a g...

Well, vacation is over so it's time to get back to work. Both the work that pays my bills and the work on the blog to keep pissing off all the right people. Hopefully I'll be able to get some meaningful stuff up soon enough. I've got 2 weeks of missed work to make up for although it does appear they made it through without me just fine (most of the...

Some highlights from all the fun. Didn't get video of any of the shotgun fun nor me lighting off the muzzle loader (I managed to hit the bull's eye), but still a great time caught on 1's and 0's for the whole world to see ...

That if I'm ever attacked by brightly painted, clay pigeons, I should be able to successfully defend myself at least 50% of the time. So, Greg and I hit Tenoroc range today, and unfortunately for my wife, I've found a new love in the world of things that go boom - clays. I can't tell you the difference between skeet, trap, and "Hey Leroy, hold my b...

Gonna actually go shoot rifle and shotgun outdoors tomorrow which will be a change. I don't get to shoot outside much, mostly because I live "in the city" so-to-speak and all the ranges are indoors. There's a small outdoor range where they hold the IPSC and IDPA matches, but it's not much more than a few mounds of dirt. Tomorrow, I'm heading to Ten...

So, today I had to drop by the post office to pick up some certified mail that I had missed yesterday. Going to the post office generally gets my blood pressure up. You see, if I were to be pissy about my rights and fail to disarm before stepping across the threshold, I turn into a felon. No crime. No harm against another. No added danger to anyone...

So the oldest just walked in the office, carrying a Lego lid full of her little sister's toy Tinkerbell set and asked Who ordered the plate of fried fairies? ...

A while back I posted about my new PC and the kick ass video card I bought, namely the EVGA GeForce GTX 260. Turns out, one of my readers works for nVidia and he bought me a copy of a rather cool application, Badaboom. Using the GPU of the video card, it converts videos to other formats blazingly fast. I really appreciated the gesture and have alre...

Hmmm... Seems like every time I plug in my terabyte backup drive into the new PC using firewire, every 20 minutes I get the BSOD about some sort of Power Management Failure. Which sucks because the transfer rate over FW is much better than USB 2.0. Plus, this morning I woke up to find that Vista had failed to activate because this serial number had...

Greg and Beth dropped by today for an impromptu hand-loading class which was all well and good as I've pretty much ran out of most of my ammo yet had plenty of components to build it with. So, I loaded up several boxes of 10mm and even some of my world famous Sound & Fury loads for the .357 My closet is looking a bit better now ...

OK, I run my own blog engine here, so I don't get all the fancy tools that all the cool bloggers get to use to chart their success, so I have to roll my own. So, with that being said, here is the year in review. Percentage of posts that sucked vs. posts that didn't suck  ...

Happy new year!...

And thankfully this time it's not me ...

This is a hoot. Brady background checks for 2006 - 8,209,900Total number of convictions from felons trying to buy guns - 73 That's a whopping 0.00009% I wonder if maybe, just maybe felons don't normally buy their guns from a retail store?...

Tanya started blogging. Holy crap. 10 frickin' years. I've been doing this for like 4 years or so. I think she started posting using a 300 baud modem on a TRS-80 or something....

I've mentioned before my immediate neighbor liked guns and the house on the other side is for sale, but the previous owner was a gun owner as well. Two houses down from that one are some great people who had a little holiday get together last night and we dropped by and got to know some other neighbors. The gentleman that lives across the street fr...

Happy Blogoversary!...

No. Go drink some eggnog or something. Don't you have family you should be spending time with? Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born,        to us a son is given,        and the government will be on his shoulders.        And he will be called        Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,   �...

So, my cold is pretty much gone. Still have some sinus crunk to expel, but not feeling all that awful. I'm on vacation for two week. Woohoo! I need to hit the range at some point and that means I need to load some 10mm and the remaining .45ACP I have. I'm probably going to have to wait until mid Jan to purchase bulk 45 bullets. Why? Well, you se...

I'm in shorts. It's like in the low 80's. In fact, I took my daughters to go see Santa two nights ago. In shorts. You can come back and laugh at me during hurricane season, but until then, I'll just be in a light t-shirt, sipping iced tea to stay cool....

My daughters were having a blast. We left when the LARP'ers showed up......

This morning, at precisely 4 am, I woke up with a splitting migraine to go along with my cold. I got out of bed around 3:30 PM to grab a small bite to eat, then went back. Worst day in a long time. My migraines usually don't last that long, and at 9:10, I'm still feeling like crap. That would be why I've been quiet all day. Hopefully tomorrow will ...

This morning, I woke up with a small tickle in my sinuses. By the time I'd finished my shower (the one rare time of the day that pants simply aren't necessary!) I knew the truth - I had managed to pick up a cold. By lunch time, I could barely move. Every last muscle in my body ached and my throat felt like I had gargled lava. I took off early and c...

For my 10 year anniversary at work, we were given a catalog of "Crap you wouldn't re-gift to people you hate" and from there, I got a cheap ass Tasco telescope. It's tripod is made of the flimsiest plastic so that the soundwaves from your heartbeat cause it to vibrate and the optics are of the highest quality Saran wrap, ensuring that stars are gen...

Hunters who think nothing of selling out other's rights simply because they don't feel that certain classes of weapons are good enough for their sport are about to get a wake up call. Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan dismissed the notion hunting rifles and shotguns are not the type of weapons authorities need to be worried about, not...

So, I've been eating oatmeal every morning, Cheerio's at night, avoiding deep fried foods, and drinking some plant extract crap that's supposed to actively remove cholesterol. In about 3 months, my cholesterol level has gone from 218 to 196. I'm now accustomed to my new diet so maintaining it shouldn't be a problem. I still get to eat 5 Guys burger...

Fingerprints can be lifted even if you wipe down the firearm Researchers at the University of Leicester and the Northamptonshire police have teamed up to develop a technique to see fingerprints even if a metal surface has been wiped down. When people hold metal objects, the natural residues on their hands, like sweat, corrode metal surfaces. Their...

Other gunnies are talking about the 5 things they want for Christmas from Gun-Santa. I've been a really bad boy this year so I'm not even getting a lump of coal, but if I were to get a chance to sit on St. Nick's lap, this is what I'd request A nice gun safe that's fireproof. The cheap ones only deter the really stupid criminals and in case of a f...

Patrol: Car Topped 120 MPH In Chase Before Hitting Manatee Inn A woman fleeing state troopers reached speeds of nearly 130 mph before crashing into Knights Inn and sending five people to the hospital Sunday morning. Got it? Some bimbo decides that she's not going to stop for any cop, blows through a red light at 100 mph, and then crashes into a ho...

Boy Charged With Having Gun At Hillsborough High TAMPA - A 15-year-old boy brought a .45-caliber handgun to Hillsborough High School today in an attempt to sell it, police say. Kevin Brantley was arrested at the school, 5000 E. Central Ave. His mother called Hillsborough High to report her son might have a gun, police said. The school was placed o...

Not sure where I was at, but one of my news alerts lead me to a blog post that yammered on and on about gun nuts and how we were basically psychopathic idiots who put guns in front of everything else. Normal stuff, but one thing stood out in my mind. The author accused the NRA / GOA / CCRKBA / {insert random firearm group here} of not caring about ...

Or not... Aggression can be a very positive trait in some circumstances. Don’t believe me? When somebody decides to victimize you, and the cops aren’t anywhere around, try giving them a hug and understanding their childhood. When he gets done strangling you with your own pantyhose, let me know how that turned out for you. Larry gives a gun-fea...

It must suck for anti-gun groups like Brady to have to defend disarming people when there's so many stories of people successfully protecting themselves The two masked men entered Big Bob's Liquors on Richmond Avenue at 9:59 p.m., police said in a statement describing the shooting. One of the men pulled a handgun and pointed it "directly at one o...

Who is that amazing gun-themed artist who does such wonderful work like this??? Why isn't that guy hired to do all sorts of gun related web sites* where he could be bartered with for guns and ammo? *My guess is he's lazy and doesn't try hard enough to get business...

Most natural born Americans would be reaching for a lawyer right about not, but not Dong Yun Yoon: SAN DIEGO, California (CNN) — A Korean immigrant who lost his wife, two children and mother-in-law when a Marine Corps jet slammed into the family’s house said Tuesday he did not blame the pilot, who ejected and survived. ... “Please pray for h...

I got to shoot a gun!!! And it was awesome!!! It's a shame though that, being Canadian, this isn't as easily done on a regular basis, but it just goes to show guns aren't quite as scary as they seem....
