Community Chest

It’s funny, this blogging thing. Lots of folks using pseudonyms and all of that. The other night when I was about to go on NRA News’ Cam and Company radio show, I had this conversation with the call screener that I thought was funny:

Call screener: Is this Chance?

Me: Yes.

Call screener: What’s your real name?

Me: Uh, Chance.

Call screener: Oh. Sorry. Usually when I talk to bloggers they go by names like Snowflake or something.

Heh.

Fully Informed Juries

Nope. They want you stupid. You’re more useful that way.

Chicks and guns

Paxton Quigley talks guns in a women’s magazine.

With tactical rail

Airtronic USA RPG-7 looks like someone built a rocket launcher from a TAPCO catalog.

Another odd case

If someone says if I had a gun, I’d shoot you then don’t hand them a gun.

Carbine Class

Mentioned the video yesterday, but here’s a report from the guy in the wheelchair who took the carbine course. With pics. Via Eric.

Nuke it

Images of nuclear explosions. Awesome and terrifying.

A decade later

And we’re still having to undo the anti-gun Clinton administration’s policies.

New Shooter

We definitely have to do more of this.

A new tactical sight.

After watching videos like this, I think instead of a carbine class, maybe driving class is in order. And how the hell do you get a Ford Fiesta to 650HP and a zero to 60 of 1.9?

Because Florida law backs shooter in Pompano self-defense case just doesn’t have any zing.

Deal Alert

Local Dick’s Sporting Goods has Remington UMC 223 for $7.98 a box.

I just snagged some.

In the key of John Deere

I wear the iPod when mowing the lawn and weed-eating. I discovered that I can actually play lead weed-eater for quite a few songs. I’m sure my neighbors were wondering what the Hell I was doing.

Must have taken minutes to come up with that

The Democrats are sorry that, according to polls, we don’t really like what they’ve been up to. So, instead of real change, here’s a shiny new logo symbolizing that all the stuff they say is, well, symbolic.

Union labor, no doubt.

Update: A much more appropriate logo:

From Political

Stolen from facebook.

No wonder there’s a war on photography

If I’m ever attacked by a man with a frying pan and a knife

I will respond with my tactical banjo.

TFA Alert

It appears that gubernatorial candidates Bill Haslam and unnamed Democrat will be attending the Tennessee Firearms Association Nashville Meetings:

We have scheduled Mike McWherter for Monday, September 20, 2010

We have scheduled Bill Haslam for Monday, October 18, 2010

Please keep in mind that these meetings are primarily to have an open discussion with these candidates about their position on the issues that members of the TFA view as important related to topics such as firearms use and ownership, 2nd Amendment rights, civilian handgun permits, changes in the “thou shalt nots” (i.e., restrictions), opening local parks, and even 10th Amendment issues. While there are many other issues such as taxes, education, etc., that are of interest, we want to explore the organization’s topical issues as much as possible before addressing off-topic issues.

Like you and me, only better

If you’re drunk and carrying a gun, you will be arrested. Unless you’re the police.

Chicks and Guns

A new to me blog called Girls <3 Guns, who introduced me to the Cleavage Holster.

The company you keep

Another member of Mayors Against Guns is going to prison.

Starve them out

The city of Rock Hill is upset that residents won’t vote for annexation. So, they’re going to cut off their water.

It reads like some story about an evil king, doesn’t it?

Cali Legal SU16. I shot that rifle this weekend and I was impressed. I may get one for the trunk.

When seconds count

The police are minutes away, filling out paperwork in triplicate, and planning. This was one of the criticisms during the Columbine attack. The police play-book is usually secure and contain. This is horrible policy when there’s an active shooter, bombs are going off or any other violence possibly happening. Some police departments have since re-evaluated that plan. And more need to.

I love this country some times

A bit back, I linked to some photos of a man in a wheelchair taking a carbine class. Here’s video of the guy running a course.

Hell yeah.

Smoke and hope

Molly vs. the plates

Odd case

Husband and wife have an argument. Husbands says he wanted to die. Wife asks if he wants his gun. He says yes. She brings it to him and he kills himself.

Wife charged with manslaughter.
