A new strip club is going to open up in Nashville. The twist is that it’s going to be dudes juggling their naughty bits for women. And, I guess, maybe gay guys. Apparently, this bugs a councilman to the point where he is ill. Says the councilman:

It’s different for a man to show himself than a woman. It’s another step in the wrong direction.

And why is that? Naked women are OK and naked men aren’t? In terms of what I want to see, I do agree, which is why I won’t go to that strip club. But if some one wants to go check it out, I don’t see why it’s OK for one and not the other.

I’ve been critical of open carry sorts in the past. Not because I don’t think their cause is good but, rather, it does have some tactical disadvantages and some of the proponents seem a bit too in your face about it. Anyway, I recently stopped to grab some milk at a convenience store in West Knoxville. I neglected to put my shirt over my Glock 30 and went the store. I was carrying four gallons of milk when I realized my weapon was exposed. Then I went to Walmart a few weeks later and I apparently had reached up on the top shelf to get something and my shirt came up over the gun again. And I didn’t notice for a while. Saw it and covered it. But I’d been up and down several aisles. So, do doubt, I was made.

And a funny thing happened: nothing. Not a single person in either crowded store freaked out or said anything. Not a word. Not even employees.

Seems to be a trend.

Apparently, the assault weapons ban reduced deaths via suffocation and pointy things too.

Just wait.

Today, on the drive in, there was a Homeland Security van driving (really slowly, actually) through my subdivision. Odd, that.

I have a subscription to Guns Magazine. Definitely the best gun porn of the gun magazines. David reminds us that their contest is also available online. Cool.

Larry gets his first one star review, from someone who didn’t even read the book. Anyway, check out Monster Hunter International: It annoys hippies. I think that’s a good marketing campaign.

A bit back, I mentioned PayPal wouldn’t sell the raffle tickets for the ParaUSA GI Expert that was to benefit Project Valour.Well, Lucky Gunner has stepped up to to help sell the raffle tickets. Hats off to these guys. My next ammo purchase will be through them.

But dissent is supposed to be patriotic? And bonus Nazis!

Expecting a bang and you hear a click. Expecting a click and you hear a bang.

A couple of bloggers you may have heard of are there and writing about it. Robert peed with R. Lee Ermey. Which is cool. Probably not such a cool story if Breda did that.

Reader Chris emails some vicarious gun porn: Set of carbines in 45 and 9mm:

Collegiate shooting is on the rise. NSSF gives teams grants. Awesome.

The SEC has new rules regarding cell phones and such at games. With blogs and twitter, they fear coverage of their games won’t be doled out to their liking. Seems to me as though the SEC could turn this into a business of selling twitter or blog coverage.

Campfield is running for state senate. The lefty blogs will be fun to watch this year.

I’ve often wondered why no one has come up with an IPSC or IDPA game for the Wii.

Poor placement.

Permit apps in Florida overwhelm the state.

If I understand this bizarre twist of absolute non-logic, it would seem that the Obama joker posters are racist because the Joker is urban; and urban means inner cities; and inner cities means black. So, anything urban must be racist. So, I have shoes. Shoes are worn by people in cities. My shoes are racist.

Racist is dead. Long live racist.

In the US:

I would like to see the assault weapons ban reinstated – it’s not philosophical, it’s because of what we have seen on the ground…There is a direct correlation between the assault ban and expiring in 2004 and the numbers – simply the sheer numbers – of assault weapons that we seize in Mexico…We are both cognizant of what can and cannot be done right now – we will softly, diplomatically…continue to say that this is an important issue for us but I think the real perspectives of this moving on Capitol Hill these days are slim to say the least

Yes. Because not having rifles with bayonet lugs would save Mexico. You know what would keep US guns out of Mexico and Mexican grenades out of the US?

Seriously, the state regulates bees? Does that happen enough to warrant that?

Knife Rights reports that customs is backing off their ludicrous attempt at banning about 80% of folding knives from being imported.

The city’s brief opposing supreme court review: if you take it we could win.

Unsurprisingly, Nashville bans guns in parks for the law-abiding.

SAF reports:

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a lawsuit on behalf of three residents of the District of Columbia and a New Hampshire resident, seeking to compel the city to issue carry permits to law-abiding citizens.

Joe: Paul Hemke is saying the defeat of the Thune Amendment helped prevent the Pittsburg shooting from being even worse:

DHS keeping us safe from terrorists. And kids modifying Xbox consoles.
