Zombie Hunt

DPMS is hosting a zombie hunting event. Also, hot zombie chicks.

Cutting the cord

Les is moving to life without cable. If I didn’t have kids, I doubt I’d have cable. I can get everything I want from the internet through my Roku.

Lesson learned

Well, I learned that a .380 won’t penetrate a butane tank. And the guy who did it didn’t learn much since he’s dead:

When the teen’s girlfriend refused to handle the gun, Torres pulled out the gun’s clip and turned to a butane tank, the Monitor reported.

“He fires one time and shoots himself in the head,” Trevino said, adding that Torres’ family was living in the U.S. illegally.

Bounced off the tank, apparently. Hopefully, the other two learned not to drink and shoot guns.

Saying cheese

Man with a gun in park tries to kidnap and rob a couple of hikers. The hikers beat his ass and tie him up with para cord. Awesome story all the way around but what struck me was the perp’s mug shot. I mean really, would you smile like that for your mug shot?

Careful where you point it

Dummies guide to what went wrong in Europ

Heh. You know, if you amended that story to say that Helga was forced by her government to make the loans, it becomes a guide to the US housing crash as well.

In fast and furious news

Hatch says Holder should resign

More whistle blowers coming out of the woodwork.

And Holder wants to meet his inquisitors privately. The public’s business is public.

Holder to compromise? This is me holding my breath.

The company you keep

Some idiot came out and questioned the actions of the man who beat the child rapist to death.

The adults are talking

Every once in a while, liar and criminal Michael Bonomo’s remaining brain cells walk toward each other in that awkward way that you walk to the cabinet when you were in the middle of a movement and ran out of toilet paper. And he has a thought:

You know what’s a shame? Pro gun bloggers like Robert Farago, Sebastian, Uncle, et al, keep preaching their false doctrine and guys like Raul Rodriguez believe it.

Like most of his attempts at thoughts, it’s not based in reality and pretty much fabricated.

Careful when you leave America

The president of the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota went to NYC with his checked gun. But he didn’t know that NYC bans gun possession unless you go through a restrictive process for locals and bans it outright for out of towners. He’s suing Delta airlines for his own ignorance of the law.

Obama tries to cut armed pilot program

The house said no.

OC protest

Gun rights folks attend commission meeting with guns strapped on to protest a teen’s arrest for carrying a rifle openly.

Heh

I always called it Andy

Since he looks like Andy Griffith. But the NYT looks at the origin of a popular shooting target.

readership

Some lawyer sent The Oatmeal a letter telling them to stop saying funnyjunk.com steals intellectual property and makes money from it. And that The Oatmeal should send him $20K. In response, The Oatmeal raised $100K from fans in less than 24 hours. The Oatmeal has a lot of fans. Bonus: shady lawyer goodness.

Hosting other people’s content and profiting from it is an entire business model. And a successful one, I guess.

The Ghost holster

Apparently, it’s so deadly that the NYPD is scared of it. Of course, it’s the NYPD and they’re spooked by all guns and have even been known to put their own accessories on backward.

Via the duck, who features the ghost holster on a bikini clad girl. Real tactical because I always see girls in bikinis wearing belts.

Get a warrant

Rand Paul wants to protect you from domestic US spy drones.

Harry Cheadle knows a thing or two about morons

Since he’s apparently one of them.

In PA

Mayor upset he can no longer break the law. Why isn’t he in jail?

Also, Philly is hiding their actual homicide numbers.

In fast and furious news: contempt!

Congresswoman Ann Marie Buerkle to vote for holding Holder in contempt.

Cornyn calls on Holder to resign. I caught Holder’s response on the radio and he said that he wasn’t going to. The tone and contempt in his voice was clear that he sees nothing wrong with what he’s done here.

Angry ex-smokers

Guy pulls gun on another man for smoking at a gas pump.

Credit

CBS falsely claims to be first reporting on fast and furious. Except, of course, we know who really first reported it. And it seems that Sharyl Attkisson won the Edward R. Murrow award for her Fast and Furious coverage.

A few things on this. First, I was unaware that, apparently, wikipedia has been scrubbing David and Mike’s contribution to the case. And David says more is coming. As far as the credit goes, I think it’s pretty weak to pat yourself on the back and not bother to note the sources in the gun blogs. However, when the gunwalker stuff first getting play by David and Mike, it was mostly on an examiner.com site and, early on, I tried to follow it but would get lost in all that self-referential links that to more self-referential links. So, tracking it down was tedious. I think the story would have gotten out quicker were that not the case.
