A look at the new GOP.

I mentioned I was getting ammo for Christmas and how much my mom rocked. Well, here’s the present they got me:

So disappointing.

About gun safety:

Get a new gun for Christmas? Congratulations! Owning a firearm is a very positive thing, but it comes with the very serious responsibility of safe handling, storage and use.

The system worked? Well, if your system is a director from Amsterdam, I guess.

Mr. C. has part 3.

Now, get some rest. You earned it.

A review of the year.

A list of top whatever lists.

Our local police chief is talking gun safety in light of a couple of accidental shootings that occurred lately.

Mistletoe hung, trees up, presents, sudden Jihad syndrome, and other assorted merriment. Hats off to a man named Jasper.

Senate Democrats decided to give your money to a bunch of special interests. A bill that nobody likes but it passed anyway.

Someone just landed here for the web search “baby beagle disassembly”. Ok, then.

To you and yours. Blogging sporadic for the next bit. Cooking, family, presents, and such.

So, happy holidays.

Aunt B.:

I may have told you this, but my dad is completely opposed to concealed carry. Not because he’s opposed to guns, but because he doesn’t believe concealed carry has any deterrent effect because who can be deterred by a gun he can’t see?

No, my dad is for mandatory open carry. If you own a gun, it is your responsibility to your community to wear that gun openly where everyone can see it and deter the fuck out of some crime.

I’m not a fan of open carry for a few reasons. It’s a little too in your face to make people comfortable with the idea. If open carried, you’ll have to give serious consideration to retention and other disadvantages. And some of the advocates are bad at marketing.

heh:

democrats passing gun-nut protections is delicious on it’s own.

And good for the GOA for being on top of this. When I first saw it, I thought it was typical GOA fear-mongering loosely based in reality.

Gen. David Petraeus gets his shooting on.

Cool

A man doesn’t break the law while carrying a gun in a state park and is detained for a few hours by nine police officers. At least, that’s the guy’s story. But when you dig a bit deeper, you find he was being stupid:

according to the news story, he had an AK pistol slung over his back, walking through the park wearing BDU’s and a watch cap.

And with the muzzle painted orange like a toy gun?

Stupid.

ETA: Press coverage is hysterical. Says gun is altered, which it’s not. And the preferred weapon of our enemies. Heh.
