One of my favorite food blogs now has a book out: Food in Jars: Preserving in Small Batches Year-Round.

Very cool. Typically, a new shooter post is done by the teacher. Nice to see one written by the new shooter.

Glock: The Book

I got a copy of Paul Barrett’s book Glock the other day. Will give it a read.

Lowest Common Denominator

I’ve said before that warning labels maybe lead to a little less chlorine in the gene pool than their should be. But a look at cars:

Modern cars are impressive technology. Unfortunately they’ve been harnessed to the least common denominator approach to driving. Traction control, anti lock brakes, automatic transmissions, all wheel drive, SUV design specs for cars that never leave pavement, idiot lights on the dash…these are symptoms of a disease. The disease is the idea that no human is too fucking incompetent, clueless, unreliable, or stupid to pilot a motor vehicle.

Everybody must drive!

I will note that modern automatic transmissions are pretty amazing and, for your average driver, they can outperform manuals. Unless I practiced a lot, I doubt I could outshift my car.

You go girl

EDC Knives

Weerd posts his favorites. I wound up buying the CRKT Delegate. So far, I am a fan. It’s lightweight and, frankly, one sexy looking knife.

A word from our sponsors

Chris Cox’s Armed Citizen Newsletter is advertising here.

Planting evidence

Why you never agree to a search of your vehicle:

A former Haskell police officer was found guilty after pleading no contest to fabrication of physical evidence charges.

Bill Glass resigned from the Haskell Police Department in March of 2010, saying allegations he’d planted methamphetamine in a car during a traffic stop were “baseless.” When the drugs were sent off for testing, a chemist at the lab traced them back to the officer.

Navy Kiss

Normalization

Amy Alkon: Why Did I Have To Go To Pravda To Get My Op-Ed About TSA Rape Published?

Pretty sad, the state of media in the country. They cover the horse race aspect of politics and rarely devote time to the encroachment of government in our lives.

I guess The Judge really is popular

Gun imports to the US by country. Brazil is number one, followed by Austria.

Brittingham out at AAC?

Military Times reports a shake up at the suppressor company:

I’m getting credible reports that Kevin Brittingham was escorted from the premises of Advanced Armament Corporation this morning.

I’m told Freedom Group reps and lawyers were on hand with security guards to lead AAC’s founder out of the building.

Keep an eye out.

One year

According to some, the world will end one year from today. Beat the rush, panic now.

Car Stuff

Tam on copycatting. Seems to me most cars look the same today. The only standouts are made by government motors and those guys who are now in the gun biz.

12 great cars you can’t get in America.

The most disliked cars of 2011.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
