Word has come to me of the passing of Calvin "Mac" McKinney on December 21rst of 2006. If the name doesn't sound familiar that's even more of a shame because you didn't know him & his fame was not a...
The CMP has new info regarding M1 Carbine sales. The gist is they'll only have Inland manufactured carbines available from April 30th until September at which time other manufacturers will be added to the list. They've established a one carbine...
The RMBB v6.0 occurred, unfortunately without all the talk of CatPower as was alluded to (but mad props to David J of Resurrection Song for having some Temple of the Dog playing in the background). There's more discussion of the...

Gunner, bless his little heart, left a note for the ATFU on their website. While I got a big chuckle out of Gunner's post my response would have inquired about seasons & bag limits. In fact I can envision the...
Rush. They're one of my favorite progressive rock bands (no; not that kind of progessive rock). The song is more about the threat of a nuclear war than what I'm going to be writing about but it was as title...

I don't really care for hospitals. Not only have some of my favorite folks died there I generally find it has too many sick people to be a really healthy environment (hey - on what I get paid as a...
I'm trying not to arm-chair quarterback this thing. I really am. But it's difficult. 2 men were robbed of their firearms after being followed home from a shooting range. "They were in their driveway for a matter of minutes when...
This article tells a lot more about Giuliani's view of the Right to arms than he might have thought. "Rudy Giuliani addressed a potentially troublesome issue with conservative voters, saying his policies as mayor to get handguns off the street...

I've bitched about Illinois before. I'll likely do so again. The state just isn't good for gun owners. To make things worse the asshats of Cook County want to put a 10 cent tax on bullets. "Commissioner Roberto Maldonado wants...
A mature gentleman in his 50's is out dining one evening. He sees a very attractive lady in her early 20's dining alone & wanders over to her table. He introduces himself & asks her pardon for the bluntness of...

That'd be the Department of the Posterior since it seems they're staffed by a bunch of asses. The VCDL (along with OFCC) tried to petition the Deprtment of Interior to revise its regulations concerning firearms in National Parks. The DOI...
Bon Jovi. I can't say I liked them that much back in the day, but over the years they've grown on me. Cheesy & sappy at times they may be, but Jon Bon Jovi is a good writer within his...

I mentioned a few days ago that the Denver Post had an editorial up condemning the proposed expansion of Colorado's use of force laws. Let's go ahead & give it a proper fisking shall we? "No need to expand home-intruder...
