Looking at getting relatively inexpensive MP3 player for the car. Something like this. It must have a random/shuffle feature. Any recommendations? I don’t want an iPod.

On the local talk radio this morning was an interview with the proprietor of the Knoxville bar/dance joint Cotton Eyed Joe. He said that he would be prohibiting concealed carry there. I would say that would cost him my business but, well, that’d be a lie since I never planned on going anyway.

The kids are both going through a phase where crying is the reaction to, well, most things that disappoint. Can’t get your shoe tied, cry. Can’t get the pudding open, cry. I usually respond to them with something like You could try to do it another way. But the crying doesn’t help.

Also, after bath, it’s a race between Junior and the Second to see who can get dressed first. And the loser usually cries about that.

The other night, the race was on. Junior was hurriedly getting dressed and I was helping The Second put his jammies on. As a joke, I grabbed Junior’s pajama top and tossed it up on the bed to buy The Second some time. And she started crying. And I, in my usual fashion, state that she could sit there and cry about it or go get her top. And I say to her, for the millionth time, that crying doesn’t help. She runs up to the bed, gets dressed, and comes over to proudly display that she still won, despite dad’s attempt at a setback. She then looks at me and says See, crying did help.

How many steel plates does it take to stop a 308 or a 300wm? With pics.

Suppressed rifles get very dirty. A nice write up with some pics on just how dirty suppressed rifles can get.

We were told that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act would let negligent dealers off the hook. So, this could not be happening.

The Doc has some harsh (and deserved) words for a man who advocated raping conservative women:

I say, “put up or shut up.” Honestly, do you really think a pansy guy like this Guy Cimbalo would have the courage to get in a room with, much less actually rape any of these conservative women?

The DC voting rights bill is dead. Unfortunately, it had the repeal of DC’s gun laws attached to it.

Barack Obama brings the Jesus more than Bush did?

Pro-gun Democrat Creigh Deeds takes Democrat primary in Virginia. Sebastian notes:

Moreover, it’s definitely a slap in the face to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, including Ed Rendell and Mayor Bloomberg, who put so much on the line only to come out with an empty bag.

It’s amazing what happens when Democrats take the gun control off the table, eh?

Glocks with adjustable grips?

Wanting civil rights for everyone and not just those people in flyover country.

Female business owners arm themselves. And not because they’re forced to.

Commies.

Doug has a bit in the KNS:

For years, schools have pondered how to get more computers into the classroom. Now, students walk into the schools with powerful computers in their pockets and are told to turn them off.

Jack Lail: Gee, you think a network effect would work on the Internet

I am curious how this bill would work:

As amended, HB2249 sets up a system for collection of records on anyone found mentally ill by a court and providing them to the FBI and TBI for inclusion in the background check database. The records will otherwise be confidential.

We mentioned before the administration’s hard-line on assisted opening knives. Now, kniferights.org is looking at the trend of classifying them as switchblades.

Two children get in a fight. One is arrested for assault.

When shooting, we usually remember eye and ear protection. But let’s not forget to protect our heads too.

Randy Cohen says we should give women guns to test whether or not the old axiom more guns, less crime is true. Not a plan I endorse. I don’t want to give women guns while forbidding men from carrying them. That’s stupid and sexist. Also, exactly who is going to give them? You footing the bill, Randy? Now, I do favor giving both men and women the choice of armed self-defense. It’s not for everyone and some folks simply don’t want to carry. And I’m not one to force them. I’m pro-choice.

Les Jones: There is no “official handgun permit badge” in TN

Glenn Reynolds on the church hosting a gun celebration:

WELL, CHURCHES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT of civil-rights efforts after all

Well, except for that gay marriage thing.

You see Gingrich a lot more.

Getting word Tygard will withdraw guns-in-restaurants bill that sought to pull beer permits of those restaurants that did not post signs prohibiting guns.

The City Paper got word too but they screwed up their Drupal installation.
