Kop Koolaid

Well, it does have Police in the name, like they made it with that in mind or something.

Chicks and guns

Winning!

Also, a talk show featuring a female pro shooter? Mentions the rise of women in the shooting sports. Cool. Oh and a pic from someone you might know.

Idiot Watch

Cliff Schecter is a moron

In politics and gun news

Mitt Romney says we don’t need more gun laws

Schumer tries to slip gun control bill into cyber security bill to ban standard capacity magazines.

In police news

Police Stand on Volunteer’s Neck, Destroy Surveillance Cameras During Dispensary Raid. It’s like they’re hiding something.

53 days in jail for doing nothing.

Debtors prison?

Nice Heinie.

Shooting Rampage Stats

This is not surprising with the police strategy of containment and not engaging:

The average number of people killed in mass shootings when stopped by police is 14.3

The average number of people killed in a mass shooting when stopped by a civilian is 2.3.

Seems consistent with what I’ve noted.

Recommendations for concealed carry

A man wearing those pants can carry anything he wants. No one will notice, they’ll be looking at the pants.

Deal Alert

Markdowns on Under Armour

Citizen intervenes in shoot out with the police

And lands an impressive 165 yard shot with a handgun.

Where guns are banned

In NYC, where guns are practically banned and are banned from carry unless you’re rich, there was a hammer attack.

And in China, eight dead in mass stabbing.

Gun Oddities

Because you can

Hell yeah: The .50 BMG magazine-fed AR-15 ‘pistol’

Kydex holster for Nintendo Zapper.

‘left the agency’

Someone leaves the agency over fast and furious. I’m sure he’ll draw his .gov bennies until he dies.

And Eric Holder has been in contempt of Congress for how long now? And the consequences for that have been nothing, as far as I can tell.

Chick Fellatio

I’m late to the party but I guess I’ll have to say something. You know, I don’t really care what their president things of gay marriage or anything for that matter. People have opinions and sometimes their smart, stupid, offensive, brilliant and on an on.

The real outrage in this is that two elected officials threatened the president under color of law for expressing his views. That’s what you should be mad about. I’ll continue my boycott of Chicago and MA.

And I don’t eat at Chick Fil-A anyway. Popeye’s is much better.

Your government at work

DOJ blocks it’s own conferencing tool.

Man is fined for not selling enough food. Liquor laws are some of the dumbest things ever. They are arbitrary and the result of lobbying and church groups. Anyway, it’s also good to see a newspaper call for less nanny state. Never thought I’d see that.

FBI did not investigate Fort Hood Shooter because it wasn’t PC.

Primaried

Rep. Debra Maggart lost her race. She was always nice to me and we’ve emailed a few times. However, she lost a lot of credibility saying that gun nuts won’t just start voting democrat. A good lesson for politicians to learn in Tennessee.

And I’d say this story is BS. There’s no reason to resign a life membership.

Meanwhile, at Reason and NPR, they seem upset that NRA is, you know, a gun group and not a private property group.

After our reported Year of the Gun, which only happened in the minds of the local press, the legislature has pretty much ignored gun owners.

Chicks and guns

Women in Saudi Arabia want guns for self defense. They could conceal AKs in those burkas.

Howdah Pistol Foldable Umbrella

While it looks cool, it doesn’t strike me as a good idea to carry one around.

Blogging notes

You may have noticed the schedule change. I’m blogging at night. I decided life is easier to just publish the night before instead of future dating posts. This won’t really affect you, even if 98% of you read from work. You just won’t be the first to know.

Also, still really busy but enjoying myself very much. The blog reading has suffered so if I’ve not blogged about that thing you sent me, means I probably haven’t read it yet. Them’s the breaks.

Junior started third grade and The Second started first. They grow up fast.

I love little baby ducks.

I think my body is used to long days in the heat. I no longer eat like a horse but . . .

Until recently, I bet the last time I had a Mountain Dew was over a decade ago. Just never cared much for them. Now, I crave them and have one a day. Not sure if it’s the sugar I’m craving or what but they hit the spot. Especially the Throwback with real sugar.

I have learned to drive a Bobcat. Poorly. But at least I haven’t run anything over. Up next, learning to haul a big ass trailer.

Turbo diesels are loud when the blower kicks on.

And people seem to think big truck means cut them off. Seriously, people, this things don’t come to a stop fast. Knock that off. A F550 nailing your Prius won’t go well.

A report and pics from the Concealed Carry Fashion Show.

Brick and mortar ammo seller supports online ammo ban

Epic stupid

That’s gotta be embarrassing

So, a good portion of ammo is provided to the market by the NYPD. Personally, I think it’s a non-issue. It is, after all, recycling!

On gun bills

Sound and fury, signifying nothing

It’s an election year and the white house is none too keen on the bill to restrict ammo sales.

Meanwhile, a ban on 10 round magazines that cannot pass.

Big Bore

So, turns out Scalia was most certainly wrong on cannons.

True

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars.

Polls

After shooting, views on guns unchanged.

Mindset and winning

We’ve come a long, long way from “Just give them what they want, and don’t resist.” Even the authorities have realized that sometimes, what they want is for us to die, and that just ain’t on.

Winning

Everyone is shooting better (even me) since we have more and more people getting into shooting.

Government at work

Tar and feathers . . .

Banning grills within five feet of a home.

Raided, life ruined and put through the ringer for whistling at a whale.

Swat and tank for refusing to put a normal child psych drugs

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