I just picked up a rather cool concealed carry holster. Remora makes IWB (Inside the Waist Band) holsters that are not held in place by a clip. The outside surface is “grippy” (sorry, I can’t think of a real word to describe it) but not sticky or tacky. It’s held in place by the pressure […]
Tagged Guns, PersonalActually working for a living again has done a number on me. Part of it is that my new boss and I have been out and about setting up equipment and retrieving equipment. I’ve spent more time outdoors during the heat of the day in the last 72 hours than I have the entire rest […]
Tagged Economics, Guns, Politics, qotdThree posts I’ve been meaning to write about from guys who are more eloquent and coherent than I am: The ultimate “you didn’t build that” commentary from Iowahawk: Readings from the Book of Barack Borepatch has an explanation of why the “you didn’t build that” comment was not a “taken out of context” moment and […]

She walked most of the way on a cow path through the fields. One day while walking home she was apparently not watching where she was walking and stepped on a bull […]
Tagged Guns, Personal, storiesThere’s an absolutely stunning post at The Law Dog Files. The post is a series of answers to “20 questions” from a gun control advocate (who is apparently a member of the Brady Campaign Board, although that information is not accessible on her web site). If you are at all interested in your 2nd amendment […]
Tagged Guns, Nanny State, numbers, pointless gestures, Politics, wordsmithingIt’s from an old Jeff Foxworthy routine. There’s no point, other than with gun ownership up, those folks who would rather we not have guns in our homes have got to be really disappointed to find that instead of precipitating wholesale slaughter, increased gun ownership has occurred at the same time violent crime has decreased.
