Campus Carry bill dies

By
March 31, 2008

Much to my disappointment the campus carry bill in Oklahoma which would have allowed certain CCW holders to carry on campuses in OK has be shelved and will not be heard this legislative session. It’s too bad; because it means that rhetoric like this will persist, and possibly gain momentum. University of Oklahoma President...

Anyone who has read this blog for an extended period of time has probably figured out that I’m a dyed in the wool browncoat; proud supporter of all things Firefly/Serenity related.  In that vein, here’s the first in what will be a three part series review of the new comic series set in the...

Podcast: Better shooting

By
March 31, 2008

Today’s podcast talks about the options one has to use airguns as a training tool. I say a lot in the podcast, but if you’re going to make an indoor airgun range in your house, make double sure you exercise the proper safety precautions. If the embedded flash player doesn’t play the audio...

Only the police should have guns

By
March 31, 2008

You’ve heard that line before from gun control advocates, that only the police are responsible enough to own firearms. Then tell me exactly why the cowboys special agents at DEA are losing their guns at a record pace? From 2002 to 2007, DEA lost 91 weapons, the audit found. The DEA isn’t always reporting...

It started when I was traveling, I was reading Gods and Generals, Jeff Shaara’s book about the Civil War,...

By
March 28, 2008

I laughed so hard I cried at this YouTube video on Breda’s blog.  Seriously, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day. “We’ll be here for another hour if they want to come shoot at us.” Semper Fi, indeed.

From VBS.tv, a neat four parter on training with the Four-Weapon Combat Wombat Master (it rhymes, sue me) at Front Sight. Part 1. Part 2. Part 3. Part 4. I’m about an hour or so from Front Sight, and I keep meaning to get out there and try their 1-day handgun course, but the...

Registration leads to confiscation

By
March 28, 2008

Always.  Dustin has a video up on how the gun registration in Canada eventually led to the confiscation of various guns that had been registered. Check it out. It’s a little old, but it’s definitely germane.  I don’t normally go in for fear-mongering, but when it comes to registration I don’t feel like I’m...

Airsoft Hysteria: Ireland

By
March 28, 2008

Apparently in Ireland people can’t stand that a shop has opened up which sells airsoft guns, presumably because if it looks like a gun, it must be bad. A shop selling realistic imitation guns ranging from assault rifles to pistols has opened in Co Wicklow despite local concerns about the growing levels of gun...
