A stripper goes through TSA check point in bra and panties. And she’s in a wheel chair, carrying a poodle. And still managed to miss her flight due to harassment err security procedures. Video here.

Gamo has a blowback airgun pistol that is magazine fed. Might make a handy training tool, if you took all that tactical shit off of it.

If you look hard enough, you can see a gun.

Until the TSA unfucks itself, I’ll be driving more. Might need one. I’d like to get one that doesn’t look like a radar detector or is discreet. Anyone?

One of his bodyguards charged with attempted murder after shooting someone. Guns bad, bodyguards good?

I can’t even begin to describe the awesome:

Well, a government that tells me I got nothing to worry about when they snoop on me as long as I ain’t up to no good should be held to the same standard. Right?

Caleb tells you why.

Are guns just tools? Sure they are. But the way gun nuts and hobbyists treat them makes them seem like much more. As to why there are a lot of gun blogs, well, who is actively working to ban crochet hooks with the help of the press?

Only not really. You can soon check firearms on Amtrak trains. Odd rules require 24 hour notice, unlike planes.

One of those shift’s in policy that ABA tells us isn’t happening.

44% listen to NRA’s message on issues.

In NJ, of course. For those hoping Christie will grant clemency, I doubt I’d put much faith in a politician from Jersey to do the right thing on guns.

Said before the FBI doesn’t really thwart a terror plot if they mastermind it. Others seem to agree.

An argument that there has not been a shift on guns since Heller or McDonald. Sure, if you ignore DC and Chicago. And other suits in Cali, MD, and elsewhere. No one said it would happen over night.

Why you never ask the internet for help with photoshop.

Oh, wait. Not sure what’s sadder. That the press is a willing lapdog in this or that TSA is at bus stations.

Mentioned earlier the TSA calling the cops on the guy who had one on a plane. I think this is his lawyer who tells us how dumb it is to ban pens.

Reader reports that TSA has come out against tactical pens:

When is a pen not just a pen? The answer is when it doubles as a potential weapon.

A TSO at Palm Beach International (Fla.) was working the X-ray machine when he came across an anomaly on the screen and called for a search of a passenger’s backpack. Inside, the responding Officer discovered a tactical pen, used commonly by law enforcement as a defense tool with its sharp aluminum-based point on one end and blunt portion on the other.

A Supervisory TSO confirmed that item was a prohibited item. The police responded and issued the passenger a criminal summons to appear in court – under the state statute – for carrying a concealed weapon. He was cleared for travel and there were no flight delays.

I will note that even after I was pulled aside for being a smart ass err additional security measures, that TSA missed my TacPen. And my multitool.

15 year old walks right past the no gun sign and takes hostages.

And you can’t carry a concealed weapon in Wisconsin.

I caught a couple of episodes of the show Fight Science this weekend. A lot of it is sort of hokey stuff that’s kind of a waste. For instance, the guy channeling his Chi. See, he channeled his Chi to give him an “iron shirt”. Then he placed a spear to his throat, leaned into it, and some other dude broke a stick on his back. Neat trick, I guess. And it is a trick. After all, if you had an “iron shirt”, why not just let someone stab you with the spear instead of the dramatic set up? And an episode on comparing the foot pounds of different kicks from different martial arts. Meh.

But one episode was called Human Weapons and it talked about self-defense. It was pretty clear that the experts on the show dictated the theme and not the scientists. The experts discussed situational awareness and various techniques to break attacks, with the theme being avoidance first and running the hell away if that fails. It was actually pretty good for TV.

The other cool episode was the sniper. The hooked him up to a machine to see if, as snipers claim, they really do shoot between heartbeats. And this guy did. Also, they put him in a box that was 130 degrees to see if he could make the shot. Then they buried him in ice to see if he could make it. He timed his shot between shivers. Then, they put him in a box with over 5,000 assorted spiders, worms and bugs.

And one episode showed a guy break free of a taser.

Ex-con wants to join anti-gun campaign. Well, they like their victims unarmed.

An interesting list of gifts for people. I have given the S&W TacPen as a gift to a lot of folks. It’s always a hit.
