Texting while hunting

In Kansas, you cannot text the whereabouts of game animal to other hunters.

Another mall shooting

And another shooting involving an AR-15 that malfunctioned.

Don’t look, it might burn your eyeballs

The TSA at work

After they take your stuff, they sell it. Cheap.

Speaking of 3D printers and guns

I have one of each myself

What 3-D Printing Means for Gun Rights

Brian Doherty looks at that ban on guns that don’t actually exist.

Brady Campaign Sues Armslist.com Over Non-Existent and Non-Existent Loophole

Seems that a guy who killed a woman bought his gun through armslist.com illegally. And the Brady Campaign to Cling To Relevancy thinks that’s armslist.com’s fault.

Made my day

I spend a lot of time pointing out the bad things police have been known to do. But a lot of times, one of them goes above and beyond.

I’ll never understand media

Meteorologist fired for replying to a viewer on facebook.

Gun Porn

Tavor. That and the Uzi Pro Pistol are coming to the US.o the US.

In common use

Black Gun Friday! Wal-Mart selling politically incorrect self loading rifles is a theme.

That’s no prop

West Virginia’s mascot shoots and kills a black bear with the musket we all thought was a prop

That is awesome.

I know famous people

Since I’m building houses, I spend a lot of time at Lowe’s. While there today, I was wearing my Outdoor Channel hat. The guy working the contractor desk asks me where I got the hat. I said from Michael Bane. His eyes got real big. He’s apparently a huge fan and went on about it for a while. I told him I knew him and about our various meetings and shooting together and he was amazed.

So, Michael, if you’ve got an extra hat, send it my way.

That’s some fact checking

Wow. I wonder if they believe this stuff?

Moore v. Madigan

And then, there were none. Well, sort of. I mean, try getting a permit in NY, MA or CA.

Kopel has some key points

Seems to me the losers were trying to re-argue Heller, a settled matter.

And this keeps happening. The Second Amendment Foundation scores a huge victory. And the NRA jumps in and tries to claim credit. The NRA should just hire the SAF guys and turn them loose.

It was bound to happen

Some anti-gun politician saw the 3D printed guns on the internet and wants to ban guns that don’t exist.

Lifestyle choice

Homosexuality can be inherited from parents, which is, I admit, a bit odd. I mean, parents tend to not have matching sets of naughty bits so, you know, there’s that.

I’m not a fan

Thoughts on off-body carry:

If you are attacked by someone intent on killing you, and that vile scum is armed, you really, really, really need a gun and nothing else substitutes. Not your Tai Chi moves; not your vote in favor of that gun controlling senator; not your folding lock-blade knife; not your fists. Not 9-1-1.

One thing that is even easier to deploy is situational awareness and a stare that says I see you and figure you’re up to no good. Knock it off. You’d be surprised at the effectiveness of that.

Libertarians and guns

Occasionally, Reason gets its gun blogging on. Today, it’s how gun laws in Mexico don’t guarantee compliance. Shocking.

And in DC, more guns, less crime.

Hmm, didn’t somebody write a book about this?

Worthless degrees.

Yup, they sure did.

Unions at work

Or, rather, not. Seems they’re so obsessed with forcing you to pay them that they’ll assault you if you dare to suggest that, maybe, it’s wrong for them to force you to pay dues. Also, the fat guy yelling, I think I’d have been inclined to say “Or what? This three foot sprint to get me would probably kill you.”

7th circuit strikes down Illinois ban on carrying guns

Fixed it for you

Or, how to fix the federal budget:

At some point, the adults will have to realize where the problem is. You can cut all discretionary spending by the US government and the budget will still not balance. For years.

This “fiscal cliff” dog and pony show is about as useful as a cock-flavored lollipop.

You can fix the budget or you can be all things to all people. You can’t do both.

Why gun control fails

Because people make guns. And also tanks.

I did not know that

Browning invented a rotating barrel pistol

Live free or there

In MA, bureaucracy and cash-strapped police departments turn gun owners into criminals.

Speaking of Yeager
