Roll your own carry loads

Good discussion:

conventional wisdom says this is a bad idea, because a prosecutor could try to argue in court that you custom made an extra lethal load, and your hand loads won’t be as reliable as factory ammo.

Knoxville News Sentinel: Stop talking about guns because the guy we’re gonna endorse kinda sucks on the issue

At least, that’s how I read this.

See SAW

Colt to make the M240?

Feminism

Now better, when coupled with the ability to disarm the oppressive patriarchy.

More mainstreaming survivalism

CostCo now sells a 6 Month-4 Person food supply for about $2K.

The Spin Cycle

Reading the news media, you would think that a federal judge shut down Bulls Eye Shooter Supply because the DC sniper stole a gun from there. But it’s not true. You see, Bulls Eye Shooter Supply is still in business. The former owner had his FFL revoked and the new owner just got a shiny new one and plans to be in business for a long time.

Media: Hey, even though we’re intentionally misleading folks, you guys should lighten up!

There’s a pretty active media campaign portraying the NRA as bullies picking on the poor, hapless little mayors in Mayors Against Guns. It fits the narrative that NRA = bad. Unfortunately, the truth is more like quite a few mayors didn’t know what they were signing up for and, in fact, some didn’t even sign up at all and discovered they were members. Anyway, the press says you should lighten up about all that.

Is that all?

You commit three felonies a day. And intent? Never heard of it.

The Drama Llama

It’s funny watching our Tennessee lefty blogs. 99% of the time they march lockstep together. Not usually any varying opinions there. And when they do disagree and fight about it in public, it’s over something stupid. The latest is there’s this Tennessee politico named Jim Cooper. And Jim Cooper hasn’t taken a nice big healthy swig of the free health care insurance for everyone kool-aid. You know, probably because he has at least a rudimentary understanding of economics and wants to get reelected. Apparently, the idiots at Kos decided to take back his progressive decoder ring and launch an all out blitz on the guy. If I was Cooper, I’d be happier than a pig in a nice big pile of Kos given their history of backing losers. Based on odds, it’s definitely a good thing.

Oh, and there’s that other thing. See, they don’t even have another candidate yet but they’re talking about beating him in the primary. Man, these dudes are smart.

And the good little kosmonauts are quick to throw their otherwise like-minded friends immediately under the bus. While under the bus, look around for ending the war in Iraq, opposing the PATRIOT Act and all that other stuff our progressives were yammering on about a few short months ago but have since forgotten about. Good times.

Kids and guns

Good way to spend a Saturday: Taking some kids shooting.

Guns in parks in Knoxville

The County votes in favor of allowing guns in parks. Now, when I go to parks, I’ll have to remember if I’m in the city or county since they have different rules. These little local differences will lead to state preemption.

Documentary spotlights gun rights activists

Some video interviews with David Codrea.

Speaking of AKs

So, you’re thinking of buying an AK-47

Gun Porn

Varmint ARs.

Wilson Combat Classic 130 Master Grade 1911 Pistol

Wall Hanger

Feds drop machine gun charge. Man says it was a wall hanger and didn’t know it worked.

They all come back

The du Toits are set to return to the internets: The Kim and Connie Show.

I told you they’d be back. Everyone comes back.

Via Bob.

Bears repeating

A point I’ve made before is that insurance is not care. Insurance companies do not deny you health care because they don’t provide it.

Child at heart, I guess

54 is kinda old for child, I would think.

A campaign

Nice:

A South Carolina candidate for state adjutant general said about 500 people attended a campaign event featuring a drawing for an AK-47 rifle.

Dean Allen, 58, said people attending the “machine gun social” Saturday at Allen Arms Indoor Shooting Range in Greenville paid $25 for barbecue and ammunition for target practice with a gun of their choice, the Greenville News reported.

Allen, who served two tours in Vietnam with the U.S. Army, said the event, which featured a drawing for a free rifle, was aimed at highlighting his support for the Second Amendment and opposition to gun control.

“In politics, you have to stand out,” he said. “If you stand out in something, you’re going to get a little more attention.”

Allen said the AK-47 winner will have to pass a background check before taking possession of the rifle.

“I like to tell people I’m not the country club conservative,” Allen said. “I’m the machine gun one.”

Good find

Woman auctions late husband’s 1851 Colt Navy Pistols. For $130K.

Supply and demand

Ammo is easier to find and that is making the news.

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