A deputy teaching a concealed carry permit class negligently shot one of his students:
Jeff Cooper’s gun rules are for your safety and for that of your team. They are not flexible. You don’t get a pass simply because you’re experienced or an instructor. Either obey them or you are history. Is that clear?
Yup.
The .40S&W is a fine round. But I don’t like, use it or own in guns in that caliber for pretty much the reasons listed here. That, and you get 30% more recoil and 50% more cost for a 10% increase in performance over a 9mm.
Interesting take on the guns in cars bill. There’s a part of the bill banning segregated parking lots for those with permits and those without. Our side is, I think to our detriment, quick to use words like bigot and discrimination. These terms tend to turn people off.
Today’s award goes to an amazing blogger, Breda:
Her gun blog is so “of the year” that she doesn’t even have to blog this year to win this award. I know what you’re thinking. That this just proves the award is meaningless. No! It just proves how awesome her blog-fu is. Amazing, right?
Behold, the kakapo:
Between navigational problems, botanical problems, and the occasions when horny male parrots try to have sex with animals that can kill them, this is the most hopelessly inefficient reproducer on Earth.
All that, in addition to the fact it’s name seems to be a combination of euphemisms for number 2.
A bill banning beer sales at self-check out. You know, at the grocer, if I buy beer it flags it so that someone can come verify my age. Just saying. It occurs to me our legislators have too much free time on their hands.
I lied, yes there are: Is carrying a gun the best way to protect your iPhone?
The NRA-ILA has a guide for communicating with the media: Don’t make statements you can’t back up with hard facts or figures.
It’s like the opposite of what anti-gun people do.
Isn’t it enough that I have to worry about zombies, face-eating monkeys, and a robot Joe Biden army? Now, flying squid?
No, not all of them are. And not even a substantial percent are. But some are. Such as this woman who hired a hitman to kill someone for wearing fur. She looks totally sane too.
And, up next, a bill of rights for dolphins because they’re so smart. Or so says some scientist. Clearly, the science is settled.
We register guns with the feds? Any such registry is illegal. Even though they have a defacto registry by virtue of requiring folks to keep 4473s forever.
In state favorability. Rounding out the bottom are some big government, blue states. Shocking.
A bill to ban androgynous names. I’m laughing. It makes fun of Campfield’s don’t say gay bill.
Muzzle flash:
Gambling with supreme court justices longevity. That’s about the only reason these elections matter. A Romney or Santorum will otherwise be indistinguishable from an Obama.
Man free after 120 days in jail for self-defense shooting. Now, he’s homeless. He should have never been arrested.
And, hey, in the kick off to it why not give out two in one day. As mentioned before, here’s the Gun Blog of The Year Award for Linoge and Miguel:
See, don’t you want one to clutter up your sidebar on your webpage?
Thanks to Dirty for the graphic. This will be a daily feature until I get bored or forget!
In Denver, a police officer was fired for, well, a lot of things. Seems that he was not trained to use an AR-15 because the department didn’t trust his judgement. In a shooting, he used his personally owned AR-15. He managed to grab a magazine from a stack of magazines and used unauthorized ammunition. That ammo turned out to be tracers:
Fitzgibbons compounded his offense by loading the weapon with military-type magnesium-tipped tracer rounds that illuminate the path the bullet takes, in a hardened metal jacket, Rivera said. The rounds are fire hazards and have more penetrating power and are more likely to fragment than department-authorized hollow-point bullets, he added.
Weird. He’s appealing.
I am not sure what this is supposed to be, other than entertaining.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
