You’re missing limbs, have weather-proofed ammunition, or have more than seven days of food. Well, two out of three ain’t bad.

Specialized Tactical Limited Edition Zombie Gun:

I didn’t know the big, shiny goober indicator now came in black and was less shiny.

In an effort to gin up support for California’s ban on weapons that look like assault weapons, the SF Weekly uses photos from the video game HALO.

Being a douche won’t win many converts.

From TacticalMachining: all manner of lowers in different calibers.

Is how the TSA utterly failed:

A man convicted of getting a free ride from New York to Los Angeles using an expired boarding pass with someone else’s name on it will be freed from federal prison having already spent five months behind bars.

They don’t even mention TSA, only screener and hostess.

Few days back, I noted a sound suppressor equipped with a muzzle brake. Well, the Barrett Blog responded in comments: The thinking behind the design is to use the suppressor’s brake to train with and take it off for non-training use.

The Army Times: Colt, S&W among those out of carbine bidding

Amazing but Eric Holder actually blames The Daily Caller for the Fast and Furious fiasco: You guys are behind it. That’s ballsy.

Info here. Looks to be a compact, 1911 in 9mm based on the P238.

I’m really trying to wrap my head around this. First, calling someone who is gay a sodomite POS. Then this. So if you like kissing, you’re a sodomite? Only gay people kiss? Ok, then.

A primer

Balko: Cop shoots at unarmed man, arrests unarmed man. Unarmed man somehow still charged with “aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”

Isn’t this kinda like raping someone and leaving a $20 when you’re done?

Mentioned the Diamondback DB9 last time. Well, a couple of reviews are here and here.

For GunNuts Media.

Dangerous weapons

Never let your muzzle err bayonet cover anything you’re not willing to destroy.

Well, this one.

Tom has a nice write-up.

A piece on five great defense weapons from Town Hall lists the Taurus Judge. Please stop telling people that a .410 from a short barrel is good for defense. It won’t penetrate a two liter bottle. No, I don’t want to get shot by one. But that’s not enough penetration.

This nice holster, that was in my house this past weekend, from Dragon Leatherworks is up for grabs. And it’s for a good cause.

Because it comes back really fast: A gun unexpectedly recoiled on Freeman.

The Mexican 90% myth gets press coverage. Amazing what a little scandal will do.

Listening to the local talk radio station at lunch yesterday and I heard an ad for CheaperThanDirt.com.

He was, unsurprisingly, a helluva IT guy

Insty has some decent advice for resumes*:

I also was surprised by how many applicants had inappropriate e-mail addresses (e.g., partygirl88@____.com).

Something I have touched on before:

Use an email address that indicates your name, such as firstname.lastname@suchandsuch.com. Not hobbies or sexual innuendo, like darklordofthesith@suchandsuch.com, hotmom69@suchandsuch.com, or ratherbefishing@suchandsuch.com.

It is amazing how often that happens. And it’s not appropriate.

*And, for those who go back and read that post, I have conceded that it’s ok to use resume because résumé doesn’t come across well in a lot of email applications.

Springfield GI

Zombie defense pack, for Legos.

I thought the pseudo-finale was good. Spoilers, you were warned.

Five year old ‘attacks’ a police officer. The child is placed in cuffs, put in a police car and charged with battery. Now, I’m not excusing the kid’s behavior. But doesn’t it make more sense to just hold the kid at bay and calm him down?

At least he wasn’t pepper sprayed or tased.

Sheriff Jim Wilson on the full length guide rod:

Somewhere along the line, however, some 1911 manufacturers decided including a full-length guide rod on their pistols gave them a “custom” look. Put three-dot sights and a full-length guide rod on the gun, and you can charge more for it. It’s almost like, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s even more important to look cool. For goodness sakes, don’t ever ask why.
