So it begins

By

As I mentioned in my “Streamlining” post, I’m going to be trying to get my gun collection a little more focused.  I have guns because I like to shoot guns, as such guns I don’t shoot just collect dust in my closet, when they could have good homes elsewhere. The first gun I’m selling...

By
January 18, 2008

I pulled a bunch of ammo prices from (notoriously overpriced) Cabelas; I was flipping through their shooting catalog that came yesterday, and I noticed some interesting stuff. 300 Rounds of 230 grain .45 ACP ammo – $119.99, or  $0.40 per round. 300 Rounds of 250 grain .45 Colt ammo – $189.99, or  $0.63 per...

I don’t normally pick squares with cops, but these are the people that the...

The Georgia Senate passed HB 89 by a vote of 41 to 15. The word on the street is that the Governor will actually sign the gutted/revised version that the Senate passed, so this is a small victory for Georgia CCW holders.  Like I said, I’ll take a small victory over no victory any...

Wow, I had a rough week with my picks last week.  Who would have though that the Colts’ defense would just give that one away to the Chargers like that.  I will admit that my pick of the Seahawks was based on regional optimism, so I wasn’t too surprised when the Pack took them...
