It’s fortunate that it takes breaking two of the rules of firearms safety to really foul up your day:

He didn’t even break his stride in his speech. Just kept right on going.

Happy birthday. He’s no longer MArooned. And he boogered up the barrel of his Bushhamster.

Some people should not own guns. The irony of the shirt.

I had a similar experience once but his shirt was more of the sheepdog/spartan/warrior something or other. It ended when he decided to argue with security personnel at a casino who were serious about their no guns policy.

Reduces weight by 2 pounds. I’m guessing the aftermarket parts for the 320s are going to expand with the Army’s adoption of them.

NJT’s 1911. He’s not feeling well.

Seven years ago, I mentioned that I was switching to ExOfficio underoos. Before that, I would buy the Hanes or whatever brand of boxer briefs at the local merchant and within a month, the elastic in the legs would wear out on them. I’ve now been wearing and blogging aboutwearing and blogging abou ExOfficios for seven years. And just this past weekend, I threw the first pair away. After 7 years, the elastic in the legs on them finally wore out. Elastic around waist is still good. I figured I got my money’s worth. You can buy them here.

Tam on Glock v. M&P:

If one really sings to you, buy it, but you’re kidding yourself if you think there are vast differences in performance waiting to be unlocked in one versus another.

Yup. I concur.

EVERYTHING IS FUCKED AND IM PRETTY SURE ITS THE INTERNETS FAULT:

The internet, in the end, was not designed to give people the information they need. It gives people the information they want.

Internet echo chambers all the way down.

The future is stupid.

This doesn’t seem to jibe with February being the third best month for NICS checks but Massad Ayoob says the two gun makers are laying people off.

February 2017 was the third highest month for NICS checks.

Someone tried to sneak a gun onto a plane by disassembling it and putting parts in bicycle tires. Why not just check it in your checked bag?

Truth.

There’s a whole group of people would rather poorly video something simple because, err, well, I dunno. And, also, long pocasts. I would add to that list slideshows. If there was a search engine that excluded slideshows from search engine results, they’d make lots of internet money.

And while I’m ragging on the internet in general, here’s something else that bugs me. You know how the big thing to do was to take picture of something then put black boxes at the top and/or bottom of them with text to make some joke. You know, like this. Well, now people do that with videos. And they both bug me.

Get off my lawn.

The future is stupid.

Wrap up gun thingies.

My son thought it’d be a good idea to put all of the Amazon Echoes in one room:

When you say the wake word, only one will respond. They communicate with each other, apparently. But using “Simon says” to activate the others was pretty clever, I thought. Never could get all five to go. Only got up to number four.

There’s a conspiracy theory about the NRA meeting with the Russians. Of course, NRA has a record of working with folks in other countries on the right to arms.

And here I thought the whole “the Russians did it” narrative was dying.

Now with more groping.

Judicial Watch: Obama DOJ Failed to Stop Mexican Cartel Murder of ICE Agent with Smuggled Guns

NY banned toy guns a bit back. Because their politicians have apparently run out of productive or useful things to do having solved all of the state’s problems. But I digress.

Anyhoo, the state AG went after 7 out of state retailers who sold toy guns to New Yorkers on amazon.com. The 7 retailers who likely thought they were selling toys to fellow Americans were probably pretty shocked by this. But this is apparently such a menace that it warrants the .gov be involved.

If I sold anything remotely dangerous or gun shaped, I’d never do business in NY.

Seen at Joe’s: What handgun the Army has chosen for standard issue should have exactly zero impact on what handgun a civilian should consider for self defense use.

I get the point but the one thing I may disagree on is, like the AR-15, it will become popular. Parts will eventually be plentiful. And aftermarket stuff for them will soon go gangbusters.

He wants to amend the Undetectable Firearms Act to mandate all 3D printed guns have at least one primary component made from metal. As Jacob points out, it’s unenforceable. Additionally, let’s say I come up with a 3D printed gun plan and post it on the internet. Did I just break the law? And were my first amendment right violated if so?

Homes were evacuated because someone found a box and a half of ammo. This didn’t happen Where Great Britain Used To Be, where this sort of hysterical overreaction is entirely believable and, even, predictable. This happened in San Antonio. And warranted evacuating 6 households and calling a bomb squad.

All those involved should be embarrassed.

What sort of compromises do you make for concealed carry?

I very rarely carry a spare magazine. This is because I spend a lot of time driving and I find that the magazines ride up a little too high to make carrying one all day comfortable. I do keep a spare in a carrier in the truck that I could strap on in very little time. I’ve also gotten interested in AIWB carry. But, again due to driving, it’s not comfortable all day when you’re tooling down the back 40.
