Shaking my bowcaster back

Something being someone else’s idea doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t discuss the relative merits of that idea. Sure, it doesn’t affect me but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to say be careful to anyone trying it. I’m not going to try to stop anyone and, hey, knock yourself out.

Manly

On a webchat, a teen put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger to prove his manhood. Instead, he proved that a body doesn’t function very well if parts of the brain meant to be inside the skull are now on the outside. And this:

… an 18-year-old accidentally shot himself in the head …

No, he negligently shot himself. He thought it was unloaded.

Bleg: Blow Out Bag

A reader emails that he just got his NRA instructor certification and needs a Blow Out Bag/first aid kit. What’s in yours?

Guns in national parks

Woman sexually assaulted in the Smokys. A while back, anti-gun shills and the press (but I repeat myself) told me that these incidents were unheard of in parks!

Your feelings are stupid

When a grandma won’t leave the house without a pistol and you refuse to arm up because you think guns are some sort of evil talisman, you’re a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Like that time when I didn’t carry a gun to support the second amendment

Obviously, I’m not participating in the blogger day of silence for, pretty much, the reason listed here.

Unpossible

You can’t have a gun at church:

This could not have happened because in Georgia, it’s illegal to carry a gun in a church.

The Zombie Chop Skull Battle Axe buttstock for AKs from Ebay:

Sure, it’s a novelty item. But someone might slap that on AK variant and hurt themselves.

An app to deal with Bloomberg’s overreach

The NYCLU has a free phone app to help out against NYC’s stop and frisk, fourth amendment violation, stations::

The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) today unveiled “Stop and Frisk Watch”, a free and innovative smart phone application that will empower New Yorkers to monitor police activity and hold the New York Police Department (NYPD) accountable for unlawful stop-and-frisk encounters and other police misconduct, much of which is the focus of several civil rights lawsuits against the city pending state and federal courtrooms.

Also, the app can alert you to where police are currently stopping and frisking people.

On training

There’s good training and bad training. When I’m critical of a prominent firearms instructor putting photographers down range, I’m not anti-training. I’m anti-putting photographers down range. When I point out that a MMA fighter breaking a soccer mom’s rib might be something unnecessarily dangerous, I’m not anti-training. I’m anti-unnecessary danger. Apparently, this makes me a pussy* and mediocre. As though there’s this binary relationship where you are to train dangerously or for competition; or you are anti-training. That’s a load.

I’m glad that A Girl and Her Gun is learning the various methods of self-defense and good for her for doing that. Seriously, that’s awesome. But be careful out there.

* I’m picking on Jennifer, who didn’t actually call me a pussy. But I will note: I’ve lost count of the number of car accidents I’ve been in. I haven’t lost count of mine. I’ve been in exactly zero. And I don’t live in a risk-free world. I drive fast. Also, I have jumped out of buildings and off of other structures 378 times. I don’t live in a bubble and no one should.

SYG Video

Man confronts loud party goers, takes a gun and a camera. Both sides do lots of stupid things and someone ends up with a case of dead. The man shooting recorded the whole thing and you can see that video here.

You know, this would ordinarily be a clear cut case. Cops show up, see 47 year-old man having to defend himself from a group of angry younger men. Except the video doesn’t really show it that way.
