More on Chicago Student

By
April 30, 2007

As you recall, I previously blogged about Allen Lee, the Chicago area student arrested for his homework. I want to keep following this story, because it’s absolutely ludicrous that the school’s administration has decided to ruin this young man’s life. While I will say that what he wrote is ill-advised, the concept of arresting...

Guns in the mail

By
April 30, 2007

Sebastian seems to have ordered himself a nice looking CZ-82 (the 9×18) through his C&R license. He mentions that he could “get used to ordering carry pistols through the mail”. So could I, and that was actually part of my thought process when I got my C&R license. There are a lot of good,...

Double Action transition

By
April 30, 2007

I carry a traditional DA/SA pistol most of the time. When I’m not carrying my Taurus PT92, I’m carrying a Walther P22. Both pistols have a long double action stroke for the first shot; followed with a shorter, lighter pull for all subsequent shots. I see less and less guns set up with this...

New shooter update

So, I mentioned the other day that my friend Flamingo went shooting for the first time – she bounced a can around pretty well from the sound of things. This is what happens when you let a photographer go shooting, they get all artsy with the light and create cool photos.

Not quite a sweep

By
April 30, 2007

But pretty good nonetheless. Taking 2 out of 3 from the Yankees *spit* in the Bronx is a pretty good weekend by my standards. Now if Manny could just find his bat, I’d be even happier.

Calling the Thought-Police

By
April 27, 2007

Adam-12, Adam-12 please respond to a code 10-280: Asian Teenager expressing emotions on a school assignment. I say again, that’s a code 10-280, Asian Teenage expression emotions in school. This is just ridiculous. The story there will probably raise your blood pressure a few points, and I’d like to help. Lee, 18, a straight-A...

Shoot them in the leg

By
April 27, 2007

I’m sure that most of you have heard about this story out of Cleveland in which a CCW holder named Damon Wells was accosted on his porch at gunpoint, and proceeded to drill his assailant, one Arthur Buford, “several” times in the chest. This has generated a small amount of controversy, primarily because the...

New Shooter at the table

By
April 27, 2007

Well, I don’t have any pictures, however apparently one of my…liberal friends (whom we’ll call Flamingo) went shooting for the first time, taking a Winchester Model 69 .22 LR out for a run at a tin can. Finding a picture wasn’t easy, however it appears that the Winchester 69 is a magazine fed bolt...

(Air) Gun porn

By
April 26, 2007

I really, really, really want one of these. I’ve only owned one shotgun, and I sold it years ago; but I keep wanting to actually get decent with a shotgun. I figure this would be a stellar practice vessel, plus it’d be great for keeping the squirrels and moles from tearing up my yard....

NRA Statement on VA Tech

By
April 26, 2007

Full text here. Gun control advocates had a field day. Within hours, the Brady Campaign had a “Donate Now!” button on their website. The Violence Policy Center was blaming “lax gun laws” in Virginia for the murders, instead of placing the blame on the madman. John Rosenthal, head of Stop Handgun Violence in Massachusetts,...
