I cannot believe we’re actually sitting here talking about how to buy black-market light bulbs.

There is something horribly wrong with this country.

Yup.

Made easier by a sympathetic press: ABC Pushes Gun Control Documentary, Absurdly Touts Work of the Brady Campaign as ‘Not Anti-Gun’

Make your own canned bacon.

Cop records himself at Wal-Mart. Remember, stores cannot legally detain you if you decline a receipt check.

Over at Yankee Gun Nuts: an old design that is more trouble than it is worth.

People ask me where I come down on the whole 1911 is an old design thing. I like them. I like to shoot them. They’re one of my favorite handguns. I would not carry one.

Sex offender registries: They’re not just for sex offenders anymore.

The expanding list of crimes that label one a sex offender is ridiculous. Sexting, for instance. These registries are expensive but are overloaded with useless information. The neighbor’s kid got fined for peeing in public is treated the same as the baby-raper.

Tam talks about must haves.

Graphics matter

Aww, nothing like their first AR.

That is one expensive Walther.

My car has an intelligent key. It’s a fob with buttons and such. Anyway, my car can sense when I am around and I can just press a button on the door when I’m near it and it will open. Why don’t they make an app for your phone that does that? Then I can carry one less thing.

Well, OK, actually they banned 100 watt bulbs. Which power Easy Bake Ovens. Speaking of, last night me and Junior used her new Easy Bake Oven to make some cookies. They were as good anything I’ve ever cooked with a light bulb.

If you’re a parent and you don’t have a supply of 100w incandescent bulbs, you’ll need one for the oven. It doesn’t come with one. And congress banned their sale. Fortunately, we managed to store up some pre-ban light bulbs.

Hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas. This year’s theme for me was kitchen stuff. The wife got me all manner of kitchen doodads. Two of note that I’m playing with. I got a Coopers Micro Brew Kit and my first batch is brewing now. I’ll tell you how it goes.

And I got a dehydrator. I’ve so far made beef jerky, fruit roll ups and dried some apples. It’s pretty cool. I loved the jerky and the kids like the fruits. I’ve ordered the Dehydrator Bible for more ideas. The directions and recipes that came with it are a little lacking.

Graphic pics of a guy who shot himself in the hand with his XD while disassembling the gun. Remember, taking out a magazine does not mean it’s unloaded.

A pilot shows how dumb TSA and airline security is. They make flight crews go through the checkpoints but ground crews do not. He posts the videos online to show how dumb the rules are. And six armed men (federal air marshals and local deputies) raid his house, take his guns, and his state concealed carry permit. All for pointing out the .gov’s stupidity.

Mind you, this guy was licensed to carry a firearm on a plane.

Nebraska man arrested for hate crime following confrontation on King County Metro bus

That’s interesting. The “Nebraska man” said:

“In my country, we kill faggots,” and “I’m going to (sic) suicide, and everybody is going down with me; I’m not going alone.”

And the “Nebraska man” is named Mustaf A. Abdille. Doesn’t sound like a “Nebraska man” to me at all.

The Violence Policy Center has raised $0 dollars and has no donors. I wonder if it’s because Josh Sugarmann spends all his time bleating about the pointy things in the NRA catalog instead of, you know, something.

Oleg has some pics of the pocket 9 here and here.

And here’s a range report.

Advocating that possession of a gun should mean the death penalty. No doubt, a reasonable restriction.

Cool: Mr. C. to Import OKO Red Dot Sights for USA. And he’s opened up his own shooters supply shop.

50S&W lever action. Sweet.

And so does Jerking the Trigger

In case you need to know.

Really.

No vote. Could be a recess appointment though.

BTW, I put this on FB then realized my kid’s babysitters and gymnastics teachers were ‘friends’. I need to re-think this friending teenagers thing. Sure, they’ve heard worse but not from me

Blogging will be sporadic for the next several days. Stuff to do, gifts to assemble, food to cook. All of that.

You and yours have a merry Christmas. Or whatever holiday you do or don’t celebrate. And, you know, you should really watch what you eat and maybe get some exercise while you’re at it.

Remember the Houston jewelry store owner who shot and killed the three robbers who tied up his wife? Apparently, he needs some help with his medical bills because he’s uninsured. You can give here.

He took four hits and survived. The robbers didn’t survive.
