Bacon wrapped bullets
A gun oil that contains 13% liquefied pig fat. Because, apparently, Jihadis don’t like that.

More like road annoyance.
Tam has it. The utter cluelessness of people on the road is mind-numbing. They pay no attention to their surroundings once they get in that big chunk of metal. My recent road annoyance involves a Harley Davidson. I’m not bashing Harley riders. The only problem with them is the same problem with people in four wheel vehicles: about 70% of them are stupid.
I was on the interstate, in the right lane about to make my exit. At the last minute, a guy on a Harley in the left lane (going slow, natch) decides he has to get off right now and whips right over in front of me. Going slower than me. Forget the general dickheaded nature of such a move and focus on the stupidity of it. If I’m not paying attention and hit you, all I’m going to need is some touch up paint and a new windshield. You on the motorcycle are probably going to be paste. When he got in front of me, I eased up on the gas so as not to have to buy a new windshield.
Apparently, the guy was upset that I didn’t lock up the breaks to ensure proper following distance. I was slowing down but still too close to him for his taste. After all, he did pull in front of me. I annoyed him so much he decided to teach me a lesson by revving his loud Harley motor at me to show me he meant business, or something. Meh. No big deal. We continue on our way. And start approaching a red light.
Then, I have evil thoughts. And whip around the guy ensuring that, at the light, he would be behind me. I watched in the mirror, making sure he got good and settled a few feet from my bumper. Then I had my fun and let loose with three hundred thirty something horse power at about 7k RPMs of rice burning fury. He was about startled off his bike. And was cussing. Don’t dish it out if you don’t like it.
I laughed all the way home.
Oleg has a pic. Michael at The Holster Site made me a custom piece. Instead of babying it, I decided to just strap the whole thing on and go to gun school with it. I figure that’d be as good a test as anything. A few initial impressions:
That is one stiff belt. I like it. Keeps the gun in place nicely. Had to work it a bit to get it loose enough to wear. That’s not a bug, that’s a feature.
The holster is snug too and requires working it in. My first draw at gun school was real snug because I hadn’t worked it in. But after doing that 30 or so times, it was nice. It did ensure I had a snug grip on the pistol though.
After wearing it all day on day one and two and running the rig through gun school, it still looks brand new.
My first…and LAST Kimber: For the price you pay, the damned thing had better not need to have MIM parts replaced so that it cycles correctly.
One of the highlights of the LuckyGunner shoot was hearing Gene from The CalGuns Foundation speak. The good thing about current strategy is we have good lawyers. The bad news is we don’t have enough good gun lawyers.
But I was impressed at how detailed and focused he was. Lots of stuff coming down the pike.
US and Mexican groups are going to hold their breath until Barack Obama does somethingtm about gun laws:
The first demand being made of Obama is an immediate ban on imports of assault rifles into the United States “because most are (later) sent as contraband to Mexico,” the groups said.
Uhm, that’s already done. Sporting purposes language and all. I know you’re not serious because you don’t the laws nor what the president can do. The rest of their ‘demands’ consist of giving ATF more power. Really? The same ATF that smuggled over 1,000 guns in to Mexico?
Notably absent from their demands is effective border control.
Don’t buy cheap guns. Well, there are a few inexpensive guns that are reliable. But you know what he means.
Les Jones has a report with pics on the non-machine guns he shot.
No, Sean, a glock 18 is not useless. It’s one of the most efficient ways to quickly turn money into noise.
Heh.
Martial arts master offers $5K to MMA fighter that can beat him. Well, hope he didn’t need that $5K. Turns out, knowing how to fight beats chi.
Ramon Almonte, the Guerrero state police chief, said on Monday he will ask the federal congress to make it easier for common citizens to get permits for weapons to defend themselves.
Also, at the LuckyGunner shoot, I took a handgun class. The class was offered by Tom Givens of Rangemaster. The only other real gun school I went to was centered around competition because it was offered by, well, a competition shooter. This one was self defense oriented, with a focus on retention as well as shooting. And I was still using some stuff that was competition oriented. I mentioned that to one of the assistant instructors joked that if IDPA had people trying to disarm them and shooting back, it’d be a much different sport.
Also, the course emphasized trigger reset, which was neat. But I discovered something: the M&P does not have a nice crisp reset. It’s smooth. One of the instructors said that’s what happens when engineers and not shooters designed guns. The made it to be smooth. He recommended I try an Apex trigger. So, I may pick one up.
Back to the course, guys that do this sort of thing are a wealth of knowledge and they share it. About 45 minutes in, WizardPC looks at me and says that alone was worth the trip.
is still kind of a dick. But the KKK is protesting the Westboro Baptist church.
Future Attribute Screening Technology (FAST), a US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) programme designed to spot people who are intending to commit a terrorist act, has in the past few months completed its first round of field tests at an undisclosed location in the northeast, Nature has learned.
A taste:
Total Rounds Shot: 91,559
Pounds of BBQ Consumed: 124 lbs
Bottles of Water Drank: 684
And some pics.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
