In this post, I said my M&P didn’t have a slide release. At lunch, I checked it out. And the thing I called a slide stop does actually also release the slide. It’s just stiffer than Al Gore is before getting a masseuse to release his chakra.

Former Arizona U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke, who resigned in August, admitted late Tuesday that he leaked a document aimed at smearing Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent John Dodson, an Operation Fast and Furious whistle-blower.

The Republicans don’t want to win. But Romney does or he didn’t get the memo.

Their candidates have mostly sucked. Rumors are the Cain harassment leaks came from folks with Rs after their names. I conclude the leadership doesn’t want to win. As to why, I’m guessing they don’t want to be the ones in charge for the next four years while we get our Greece on.

Yeah, it’s stupid but it’s the only thing that makes this all make sense. Anyone but the folks running can beat Obama.

When I was a kid, my uncle owned a knife shop. While visiting, he said I could have one and let me pick. The Rambo movies were big then so I picked this survival knife:

I immediately opened it, took the contents out of the handle, played with the compass. Sorted out the matches and fishing stuff in the handle. Dad didn’t want me playing with all that stuff and told me to put it away. I didn’t. So, he took the knife from me. This was in 1982.

Monday night, I met dad for the weekly card game. He asked me to get something out of the hallway closet. While doing that, I saw the knife sitting in there. I picked it up and showed it to dad. And I reminded him of taking it from me. He laughed and sad Well, you’re forty now. I guess you can have it.

Made some last night and someone wanted to know the recipe. Since I typed it up for facebook, may as well post it here:

From Home Life

These are refrigerator pickles and should be made in small batches. I usually do four at at time but the recipe is, roughly, per jar:

4-5 pickling cukes cut how you like
3 cloves garlic
2 dill sprigs
2 peppers of choice (usually jalapenos, but thai chilis here)
1/4 large onion chopped
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon peppercorns
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water

Cut the cukes, in this case some spears and some chips. Sprinkle some salt and put in the fridge for a couple of hours. While doing that, boil the garlic for about 30 minutes to soften. You can skip this step but it makes the pickled garlic taste bad if you try to eat it. After two hours, take the cukes out and rinse them thoroughly. Mix 50/50 water vinegar and bring to a rolling boil and add a little salt. In the bottom of the jar add 1 dill sprig, 1 tablespon salt, peppercorns, mustard seed, peppers and onion. Stuff the jar as full of cucumbers as you can, add another dill sprig on top. When the vinegar/water is boiling, ladle it in and fill the jars as full as you can. Let sit on the counter for about an hour, put the lids on them, turn them up to get the brine flowing, then put them in the fridge. Ready to eat the next day and will last about a month in the fridge.

The onions, peppers and garlic at the bottom are the best part.

In DC’s effort to deter anyone who want to lawfully own a gun, they make taking the gun safety class unsafe:

As a woman facing the prospect of going alone to this class in neighboring states of Virginia or Maryland, I’d like to find someone who seems legit. The way I see it, I’m calling a strange man and saying, “I’m unarmed. I know you are armed. And yes, I’d like to meet you in a strange place.” Feeling safe is the reason I want the gun in the first place.

Knoxville elected its first woman mayor. Both candidates running were democrats.

And now, there’s a mayor listed as a member. But he died in 2010. Zombie mayors!

A review of the holster for the P3AT

How many and what kinds of accessories do you need?

The ninja thing to do: use slide release, it’s fast.

Racking the slide is kind of universal. And the slide release on my M&P is . . . oh wait, doesn’t have one. And that’s why I stick to racking the slide. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using the slide release if you have one.

And, like Caleb, I’ve cut my hand using that method on the sharp rear sights on the Gunblog 45

Bill Engvall falls for the ‘assault weapon’ lie.

Well, if your agency is already breaking the law, I doubt you’d have any qualms about breaking more.

Look here, you waddling, sanctimonious cow: You don’t get a say in what I or anyone else drives. You’re exactly what’s wrong in the world today. So take your self-righteousness and shove it down your throat. It may stop the flow of Big Macs and XXL Diet Cokes to your ass. That would put less strain on your Prius and lower your carbon footprint.

I can’t quite put my finger on what it is but I think it’s the same thing that causes adult human beings to flee in terror and lock themselves in a car because they’re being chased by a turkey.
