Can someone successfully sue you because you use Hornady’s Zombie Max ammo in your carry gun?

Black man shoots Hispanic man in what is seemingly self defense. No media outrage? No pictures of the person who was shot as a child? Gee, what’s the difference?

Avoiding confrontations because you’re armed.

Three police departments switch to M&P.

How is it defined?

From a facebook friend, apparently someone named Possum tools about town on a John Deere mower. I think my favorite part is the handicap sticker. Or the awesome parking job:

Send an email to EPA, get a visit from EPA agents and the local sheriff.

Ridiculous: Strap your night vision gizmos to your iPad.

Scottish government wants power to limit number of guns purchased because, wait for it, people are buying lots of guns.

Politifact considers repeating bogus talking points to be fact checking

40% off Buck knives

Why people don’t use them.

Why not modify balance beams?

Not following it can be a pain in the ass.

It’s happened to open carriers. Now, it’s happened to a concealed carrier.

Ban large sugary drinks. Because no one would dare by more than one. Or a six pack. Will Bloomberg limit the amount you can purchase like some states do with guns?

It is expected to suck for the first three to five-hundred rounds!?

Revisited

Back in the early 1990s, if you had said to me Hey, Uncle, we’ll soon be arguing the merits of open carry versus concealed carry instead of just trying to get rid of gun bans and getting carry in 49 states then I would have said you’re a looney. But I would have been wrong. You see, this thing Al Gore invented called the internets (a series of tubes, I am told) allowed us to make our case as opposed to your average American merely seeing the talking points of anti-gun groups parroted in the press as “news”. Since the internet, we’re winning and they’re losing. The Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership is essentially irrelevant in any gun policy discussion.

Apparently, the internet had a similar benefit for how men perceive themselves: They all got together and decided they weren’t crazy.

Random gun porn

Not sure what this is supposed to be but it’s a cool image.

What is this? I don’t even . . .

A defrocked priest accused of molesting two young girls is now a TSA supervisor.

I came back from vacation with a summons for jury duty waiting for me. The odds of me getting on a jury are about zero. They don’t like people who pay attention and advocate jury nullification of stupid laws.

Oddly, on the summons for reasons to get dismissed, there’s no check box for will judge the facts and the law.

And they know about human rights violations. The gall of a country that forces abortions, sterilizations and actually has death vans is stunning.

So, this throw away post featuring a pool lift I made while getting sunburned err tanned and sipping a Mai Tai generated more attention than I thought it would have. Which is to say, it got some. My initial impression was that it was a waste, government mandated, and it was put in a very inconvenient location at the main entry into the shallow end, where all the kids congregate to play. Some other observations:

After the comments here went on, I put on my intrepid reporters hat and asked the manager about it. Basically, she said the following:

So, there you have it.

Roanoke County Police are checking their issued H&K guns after an officer’s gun failed to fire during a confrontation with a man who had a shotgun. My first thought was he didn’t have one in the chamber or take the safety off. But their investigation says: The department’s investigation after the incident revealed the officer’s .45-caliber Heckler & Koch semi-automatic pistol likely malfunctioned because of improper maintenance, said Lt. R.C. Mason, a police spokesman. Seems the armorer didn’t replace the firing pin.

There’s the old stereotype that police only get to the range once a year. Maybe they should go more often to make sure their stuff works and that they can work their stuff.

The Houston Astros snazzy retro uniforms

Now, a proposal for folks convicted of gun crimes to go on a registry. Kinda like how they made sex offender registries and then sex crimes just stopped.
