Not always by governments though

In Australia, fears that the recent theft of 50 firearms was the result of their firearms registry being compromised.

The Flashbang bra holster makes the news. These guys are good at marketing.

Number one search term at the Centers for Disease Control: Zombies:

Turns out, not a rogue agent but approved by political appointees. Another lie comes to light.

Cool:

Sweet!

A look at some of their numbers.

Zombie line of airsoft guns. Because in the zombie apocalypse, you want an airsoft.

Puppycide seems to coincided with bad gun handling. Radley notes a couple instances of it. In one, an officer fired at a family pet from outside the home into the home where there were children. In another, an officer fires 13 rounds in an apartment complex to shoot a dog.

Family friendly range does kids’ birthday parties

Man buying books for his grandchildren kicked out of a bookstore because he was a lone man in the children’s department. Yup, on the word of a hysterical woman, he was kicked out.

Man walks right through a restraining order and shoots another man with a crossbow.

Worst gun ever, only dropped once

I think this used to be a Glock.

Police stop, handcuff and search everyone at an intersection looking for a bank robber:

“We didn’t have a description, didn’t know race or gender or anything, so a split-second decision was made to stop all the cars at that intersection, and search for the armed robber,” Aurora police Officer Frank Fania told ABC News.

Oh, so you have no idea what you’re looking for but you must do something.

And by you, I actually mean me.

The last few times I’ve shot a handgun have been awful. Lately, I just shoot them terribly. And I know why: lack of shooting. We all get busy and have to do stuff to feed the mouths in the house. And my shooting has been slacking off. And, in my case, when I go to the range I usually have a gaggle of newbies or kids that I take and I spend time teaching them. So, the range and I need some alone time. With that, starting next week, I’m going to make it point to hit the range at least once a week, shoot at least 100 rounds and do that until I run through this case of ammo I got sitting in the basement.

Why 100 minimum and why once a week? Because it’s a pretty small time commitment and I have no excuse for not sneaking it in.

Update: And no tag-alongs or newbies. Shooting by myself so I can focus on shooting.

Our new pup is doing well. At 8 weeks, he’s crate trained mostly (only two accidents in the house, which were not the dog’s fault) and he mostly sleeps through the night. He’s quick to learn and seems pretty smart.

We also have two cats. The small cat wants nothing to do with the dog. Of course, she wants nothing to do with the other cat or most people either. But the larger cat has warmed up to the pup some. They play some and, heck, have even shared a bed. Sometimes, the pup wants to play and the cat has had enough. So, she fires a warning shot. She’ll pop the dog in the head with her paw while her claws are retracted. If he persists, the claws come out on the second head thwack. You can see him stop after the warning shot in this video:

He can be taught.

Some pics. It’s weird because I read on the internet that only Glocks do that.

Awwwww

Americans with Arab sounding name asked to provide their email accounts to Israeli security when visiting.

No, not for stealing or groping or anything like that. They were fired because they failed to perform random screenings last year.

And the TSA admits that those random screens are useless anyway:

Castelveter said it’s important to note that every person who flew through the airport was screened.

“It’s the random secondary that did not happen,” he said. “At no time was a traveler’s safety at risk and there was no impact on flight operations.”

Then what’s the point of it, Sparky?
