Holder has been confirmed. I said before it was a foregone conclusion.

In Nashville.

DAMIT is looking for one and wants some help:

OK, so my ideal weapon is the size, shape, and width (very important) of a Walther PPK, comes in .45 Long Colt or .44 Magnum

We all want one of those to carry when riding our unicorns. But, seriously, give some advice.

Ahab has a report from the match at Gunny’s.

A bill in New Hampshire.

A look at ‘some success‘.

Gotta justify those dollars though.

Tam:

Meet Tiffani. Tiffani is 19 years old. She works part time at a nursing home, goes to college, and likes mountain biking. She can vote, join the military, and thanks to Indiana state law, she has a license to carry a handgun. She can carry it at work. She can carry it when she goes with her friends to the movies or to Applebee’s. But when she goes to school, apparently she is likely to become “drunken, enraged or excessively fearful” and likely to go on a rampage.

Anti-zombie guns.

History.

Kimber.

Fired from the pocket?

All this yammering about .50 caliber rifles. Well, check out these .73 calibers.

Chris Cox:

Already, the deliberate deceptions we heard from anti-gunners previously are resurfacing. Anti-gun Sen. Carl Levin, D-MI, said last Thursday on the floor of the Senate that “assault weapons” are “capable of firing up to 600 rounds per minute” and that they are “once again pervading our streets and neighborhoods.”

He notes:

Did we mention that our opponents are deliberately deceptive?

Local Police Want Right to Jam Wireless Signals.

A new anti-gun propaganda piece contains this gem: a 12-caliber gun that can pump four bullets with each squeeze of the trigger

Some expert.

Someone should have clued me in to Carteach’s blog a while back. All kinds of gun stuff, like photographing guns. And a WECSOG solution to fixing your Mosin’s front sight. And AR180B porn.

Congressman and Gubernatorial Candidate Zach Wamp emails regarding my coverage of the governor’s race and guns:

Read a lot about guns and Tennessee Governor race. Please know that I have a 14 year record of 2nd Amendment Protection with no compromise, no exceptions and no excuses. Our records tell the story. Please make sure you don’t get hoodwinked.

Wamp’s record on guns from OnTheIssues is impressive.

Hats off to Mr. Wamp for reaching out to the blogs.

Apparently, he’s express anti-gun sentiment in the past:

Q: Should people have access to buy assault weapons?

A: Society should draw lines. What do you need an assault weapon for, if you’re going hunting? That’s overkill. But I don’t think that means you go to a total ban for those who want to use gun for skeet shooting or hunting or things like that But what’s the point of passing gun laws if we’re not going to enforce them? If you want to talk about gun control, that’s where you need to start. We’ve got 300 gun laws on the books right now. At the end of the day, it’s about how we enforce the law.

However, he states also that he supports enforcing existing laws and no more gun controls. I think maybe Mr. Steele should be educated about weapons that look like assault weapons and that gun owners should let the RNC know their opinions.

In Idaho.

Update: Ok, catching some grief for that. It’s a high school trap match.

The press always likes to point out the number of guns someone has during a particular incident. They do this as though the number of guns correlates with some perceived level of guilt. That is, he has this many guns, obviously he’s guilty. Even when that person is actually engaging in lawful activity. Another case: What media bias against guns and gun owners?

The Root Cause of Never-ending Second Amendment Dispute

Breda heads to the range with a friend.

The general stupidity of the raise taxes crowd has always amazed me. Now it makes sense. In light of recent events, it is clear that those who advocate tax increases do so because they’re not going to pay taxes anyway. Funny how it’s always because of ‘errors’.

Discussion of whether it’s, legally, a game of chance or a game of skill. I can’t figure out why the two are viewed as mutually exclusive.

I mentioned Crossville’s attampt to ban concealed carry. Looks like such an effort may violate TCA 39-17-1314:

39-17-1314. Local regulation of firearms and ammunition preempted by state regulation — Actions against firearms or ammunition manufacturers, trade associations or dealers.

(a) No city, county, or metropolitan government shall occupy any part of the field of regulation of the transfer, ownership, possession or transportation of firearms, ammunition or components of firearms or combinations thereof; provided, that the provisions of this section shall be prospective only and shall not affect the validity of any ordinance or resolution lawfully enacted before April 8, 1986.

In other news, I was unaware TN had preemption.

Brian Doherty says not to worry too much about Obama. Yet.

Michael Bane reports that the gun pipeline is opening back up. Hopefully, that means the surge in firearms buying is tapering off a bit.

I went and watched a few minutes of the match this weekend at Gunny’s. Didn’t participate because I did not have a full day to devote to it. But Ahab and Linoge shot it and congrats to Linoge on winning the shotgun. Quite a few pics of the stages there too.

Greg wants to know. Needless to say, I’m biased.

Hope and change in Georgia as carry permits go up 79%.
