Notes from the TSRA Garand/Springfield/M1Carbine/Vintage weekend.

Pics and a report from Robert.

There ought to be a law

CT legislator proposes state law to make Halloween always be on Saturday. It boggles the mind that legislators come up with this stuff instead of something to, say, get their states out of debt and to save money. I guess CT has solved all its other problems?

Quote of the Day

Steve Jobs on Bill Gates: He just shamelessly ripped off other people’s ideas.

Death Valley

I have to admit, I’m kind of digging the show. Zombies, vampires, gratuitous violence, comedy. It’s funny.

Speaking of ninjas invading your home

In the various threads about flash lights, lasers, position, and whether or not my family is comprised of midgets in need of interior decorators, a few folks make one helluva good point. If the bad guys invade your home, stay put in the bedroom with your door shut, point the gun you have with largest barrel at the door, and call 911.

Great plan, really. But . . .

Among the alleged midgets in my house are two children, which are about as close to midgets as we get. Their bedrooms (in need of the aforementioned decorating) are on the opposite side of the house. Am I gonna sit in my bedroom, on the phone, and call 911 when someone is checking out the house? No. The Mrs. can do that. I’m going to go get my children. And, at that point, I’m not going to be all that concerned about giving away my position.

Continuing our record shark jump

On the History Channel, Zombies: A Living History.

Bacon Beans

Bacon flavored jelly beans. I predict these are either the greatest candy ever or the most disgusting thing I’ll ever put in my mouth. It’s really 50/50.

Chicks and guns

Hillary’s Angels: Women of the SecState security detail.

For the children

We must close the cops can have guns loophole.

Welfare mentality

You’re not entitled to a damned thing. Get over it.

For the children

In CT, school tells students there’s a threatening intruder on the loose and locks the school down. While the school is locked down, the school has the police bring in the drug dogs.

National Reciprocity

Chris Cox discusses the bill and dismisses some of the, uhm, loonier theories put forth by anti gun people.

Fishy

A good case for eye protection.

The scam of traffic safety

Your GPS is less believable to a judge than an officer with a stop watch. Traffic safety, largely, is a revenue stream. Most people drive, safely, a bit over the speed limit. Wait, we’ve talked about this before.

Police no longer function to protect and serve. They function to collect a tax.

Brilliant!

Take log, cut holes in it. Sell it for $20.

Carrying while shopping

Overcoming some issues.

Lights and ninjas

Your home is not going to be invaded by ninjas. Indeed. The internet mall ninja crowd thinks lasers and lights give away your position, which is probably relevant if I was in Derkaderkastan and in a gun battle with Jihad Joe while on a clandestine mission to rescue moon rocks. Apparently, I should walk around my house in the dark and shoot at whatever moves or something.

Only the police should have guns

MRS: 16 shots, at point-blank range, and he hit his man-sized, non-moving target with less than 50% of the shots!

They’re losing

I’ll take your word for it. I don’t generally read the anti-gunners since they’re largely irrelevant.

TSA at work

They manage to miss a loaded gun in a checked bag but they find a woman’s sex toy and leave an inappropriate note.

This is an awesome commercial. SFW, sorta.

Nice.

Best whisky in the world

Old Pulteney named by an expert in the Whisky Bible. Two American bourbons took 2 and 3: George T Stagg was named second best while 10-year-old Parker’s Heritage Collection Wheated Mash Bill picked up third. I may have to try those. Update: Here’s the bible.

Great moments in song lyrics

So come on and give it to me anyway you can
Anyway you want to do it, I’ll take it like a man

Hmm.

Wouldn’t surprise me

FoxNews: Facebook Building ‘Shadow Profiles’ of Non-Members, Experts Allege

I was late to the facebook party. But when I signed up, it was ready for me. It already knew who I knew from my personal life, my blog life, and my professional life. As a rule, I never befriend people with whom I have a professional relationship. But facebook already knew who I knew. So, I would not find this surprising at all, even though it is a little tin foily.

Taking notice

A reader emails that CSI Miami touched on Fast and Furious and wasn’t complimentary of ATF. Interesting. Any video out there?

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