what to do

Michael Bane has a plan to deal with the shortage of ranges.

Like a gun buy back

Program in Florida to get rid of unwanted ammo. You could send it to me. I will turn it into harmless noise.

Steam Punk Nazis in Space

Ok, then.

In your pocket

A firearm focused multi-tool from Leatherman.

iPad

Stopped by Best Buy the other day for some office supplies. Had a opportunity to play with the iPad. It was slick. Fast, pretty, easy to handle. I was impressed. I’ll probably never buy one because it is 1) made by Apple and 2) while it’s neat, I have other things that are cheaper that do everything it does and more. But it looks like Google is getting into the tablet game. Seems like it would be a good product to release Chrome OS on. But, no, they’re releasing it with Android. So, like the iPad, it will be a big smart phone that is too awkward to use as a phone.

And another company looks to hit the tablet market.

Double Hand Cranked MAK 90

A good way to turn money into noise.

TSRA Mid Range Championship

Some pics. They look like they’re doing it wrong. Not enough white people to fit the narrative.

Step one: Shoot well

Become a sponsored shooter.

The Narrative

Every time Knob Creek has their machine gun shoot, some reporter or indie type shows up and says look at all those racists. Unsurprisingly, same thing this year. I love how ‘white people’ is like some sort of code word. And, of course, it’s all attendees are religious zealots who love Timothy McVeigh.

Cool

Robb’s icons all in one place.

I got this

Heh

Doing it wrong

I am not paying to link the Nikkei.

Keeping America Safe

Power struggles between ATF and FBI require effort. You know, instead of those terror investigations.

One dirt bag at a time

Alliant Techsystems acquires Blackhawk.

May Issue

In CA, a former cop is denied a carry permit.

Maff

Stop if you’ve heard this one before.

Via Guav, Red states get more than $1 in federal money back for every dollar they spend on taxes. Unsurprisingly, this map also correlates pretty well with population. Wow, you mean if the denominator is bigger then the result is lower? Who knew?

HDMI Cables

A rip off. I got two cables from Amazon for $0.25 each. Now, they’re up to $2.50. Don’t spend $50 on a cable.

A shooter from Metro Arms.

Magpul Angled Forward Grip

Robb has some pics and a brief review.

Teaser

If you get Shooting Illustrated delivered, you may see mention of someone you know on page 14.

Fuddruckers and guns

They don’t like you carrying there. Pity. I dig their burgers.

Vicarious Bleg

Dwight emails:

I need a favor. As I might have mentioned I’m the proud owner of a Maserati Spyder. Mirabile dictu, there’s a whole slew of us here in E. TN – drawn, I suppose, by the mountain roads. That yellow flash you see on the Dragon’s Tail is all you’ll see of me. Anyhow, to get back on subject – us Maserati drivers belong to the SE group of the world wide Maserati Club. Our local group is heading to N. Italy to see, among other things, the Maserati factory. While close I thought I go to Brescia and visit a gun maker and a shop or two. So, if you would, please ask your readers where would they go. Any places not to miss or others not worth the time. According to Google Maps Brescia and environs is full of them.

I think this place is definitely worth a look.

Damn funkiest looking revolver I’ve seen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I told him sure, if I could take the Maserati for a spin.

Knob Creek Pics

Some here and here.

Kids and toy guns

Using toy guns to instill gun safety rules. On one hand, I can see a good reason for doing this. On the other hand, kids will be kids and preventing that would be like herding cats.

The Eyes have it

Kenn is blogging about sunglasses.

Some discussion of guns, gun parts, and what is a gun here and here.
