Open a beer with a Glock

Full-Auto FG-42

Unless it’s coming right for them:

A federal appeals court ruled today that Detroit police didn’t have carte blanche to shoot a woman’s dogs during a drug raid simply because they weren’t licensed.

The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed and remanded a lower court ruling in the case of Nikita Smith, who filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against the Detroit Police Department after a narcotics raid left three of her dogs dead. A federal judge dismissed Smith’s lawsuit last year, ruling that her dogs, because they were unlicensed, amounted to “contraband” under the Fourth Amendment.

Papers, please.

Eric Swalwell, U.S. Representative from California:

We should ban possession of military-style semiautomatic assault weapons, we should buy back such weapons from all who choose to abide by the law, and we should criminally prosecute any who choose to defy it by keeping their weapons.

Say when, Sprout.

LA Passes Ordinance Requiring City Contractors To Disclose NRA Ties

This is shameful.

The Free Beacon:

A top spokesman for the Tennessee Democratic Party’s effort to get Phil Bredesen elected senator has said he views “white male” gun owners as “the biggest terrorist organization on the planet.”

And we’re supposed to be the racists.

And the jokes are funny. Trump should donate 1/1024th of the million to her charity of choice.

Cops get called about a man carrying a rifle. It was a bassoon.

And “assault woodwind” would make for a great band name.

I have nothing to add.

TELESCOPING MAGAZINE EXTENSION TUBE FOR SHOTGUNS

Been away. The State of Tennessee had decided that you don’t know how to adequately divert storm-water. So, they have to teach you how to do it. So many words spent just to say “plant grass” and “use silt fencing”.

Coming in flat so far this year

I wish Hillary Clinton would just go away. Funny how losing Republicans tend to but not Dems. But I digress.

In a world where a Bernie bro shot hundreds of rounds at Republican lawmakers*, seriously injuring one; Rand Paul was beaten up by a Democrat; someone attempted to stab a republican; and democrats are rioting in the streets; she says:

You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,

She may be right. Only not for her party.

Rand Paul is concerned that someone is going to get killed.

* Funny how that one didn’t really get wall to wall media coverage.

The NYT calls it DIY ammunition.

The Remington V3 Tac-13. It’s a 13 inched barrel shotgun that doesn’t require going through the NFA process.

Tam has some wise words on the topic. I’m likely to go with carbine and it’s not that I think shotties are bad. My shotty is too long. And, at casa de unc, I have a sooper seekrit area where I keep an AR-15 accessible within a few seconds but you’d never know it was there. And my shotty is definitely too long for that location.

Handgun Bullets: How Do They Penetrate in Home Materials?

I’d like to see comparable rifle and shotgun data.

I, too, have never gotten the appeal of horror movies. Mostly, because I don’t really dig the gore and because I get so mad watching them when the characters do something irretrievably stupid. And most horror movies would be over in about two minutes if someone had a gun.

Oooh: Suppressed Nylon 66

Before There Were Many 9MM Ultra Compacts, There Was One

Thanks for the comments. I had a kershaw with the wave. Didn’t much care for the flimsy blade. A few nuggets of truth from the comments:

Folders are for opening the mail, boxes from Amazon, or cutting salami.

Fixed blades are for self defense.

As for the fixed blade, I carry a clinch pick by shiv works. Do recommend.

And this is what I have recently figured out:

I cant tell you how many friends of mine called me crazy for carrying a $200+ dollar blade while showing me their $40-$60 Spydercos, Kershaws, and CRKTs. 5 years later theyre on their 4th and 5th knives broken/bent clips, screws falling out, pivot bearing failures and Im still carrying the same Emerson.

That is what I have been going through. I think I’m on Spyderco number 4. I snagged the Emerson Commander. We’ll see how it goes.

I’ve liked my Spyderco knives with the Emerson Wave. But I’ve had not one but two shit the bed. I replaced one with the titanium clip and it’s held up, but the clip is getting wobbly and the screws are stripped. So, I want a new knife with the following criteria:

Sturdy clip
Has an Emerson wave
And is not ridiculously long

I’ve been looking into Emerson’s for a bit and am leaning toward this one. Anyone recommend or know of something else?

It makes the rounds every once in a while. The Army Times:

The Army has selected 6.8mm as the new common round for both its Squad Automatic Weapon and M4 replacement.

A Prototype Opportunity Notice posted on the government website fbo.gov is going to give three companies the chance to submit their versions of the new individual service rifle, the Next Generation Squad Weapon, chambered in 6.8mm, the same round that developers are using for the Next Generation Squad Automatic Rifle program.

Until recently, officials would only say that developers were being encouraged to look at requirements in the intermediate caliber range, somewhere between the existing 5.56mm and 7.62mm rounds common to individual, sniper and machine guns in the Armys inventory.

If true, 6.8 would be a very affordable round very quickly.

Anti-gun shill Wintemute is at it again. Only, this time he refutes his own conclusion.

Good for the range officer:

This is good for the second amendment. And I bet, from now on, wherever he goes, someone offers to buy him a beer.

I’ve been remiss in posting the occasional recipe. So, here’s one. You can eat these like fries. In a bowl, toss in a pound or so of okra. Drizzle with olive oil and add salt and pepper:

Toss until it’s fairly evenly coated.

Skewer. I use two skewers so they’re easier to flip but for some reason, I found older photos:

Lightly char them:

You can eat them like fries. The flesh will be crunchy and the seeds will have a satisfying pop. Oh, and since these are like fries, you’ll need a “ketchup” or dipping sauce. I whisk together some of the juice from my aunt Rhonda’s canned sweet hot peppers with sour cream and some Italian seasoning. You likely don’t have any of that but a close substitute is the juice from Korean pickles or the juice from spicy bread and butter pickles:

So good:

A group of pranksters decided to write a bunch of hoax papers and see if they could get them published in their respective field’s academic journals. They got 7 published. One paper was on how dog parks promote rape culture. And another was a chapter from Mein Kampf where the author substituted “men” for “jews”.

The future is stupid. And scary. And also hilarious.
