    Pro gun article on… Buzzfeed?

    Well, sort of. It's still got a healthy "I can't believe a normal person actually did something constructive with a gun" vibe to it, but still… I'm surprised it even exists. Marine With Concealed Carry Permit Saves Woman From Being Beaten To Death

    2A shirts and other merch.

    I've had these ideas floating around in my head for a long time and finally got them into the computer. If you like something (or know of a better place to do this than Cafepress), let me know. Share it with your friends and maybe, you know, buy something. I'll be adding more when I can...

    Cleaning a Nickle 29

    I've used Fast Orange hand cleaner and an old toothbrush on wood before. In fact, that's the recommended way of cleaning wood after cutting or engraving with a laser. Link Removed

    New documentary on Veterans - You Should Be Famous

    Some friends of mine are headed to Virginia next week to shoot a documentary called You Should Be Famous. The general idea is that our society wastes its efforts glorifying celebrities, when most of them are not really worthy of admiration. So what this film aims to do is tell the stories of...

    .303 Jackpot

    I was in the neighborhood today, so I stopped in at Fleet Farm. I've got a 1942 No 1 Mk III, so I usually check for .303 British while I'm there. It's kind of hard to find, and sometimes they have a box or two. When I popped in today, there were 24 boxes of 180 grain Federal sitting on the...

    Kid not doing well in school? Give them drugs to boost their performance!

    Or, as a friend of mine put it, reason #5,431,344 why his children will never attend public school. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/09/health/attention-disorder-or-not-children-prescribed-pills-to-help-in-school.html?pagewanted=all&_r=2& I don't know if this makes me more angry or sad.

    Accidental vs. Negligent

    Some comments on another post got me thinking. True accidental discharges (malfunction of the gun, not the user) are pretty rare. I've certainly had a couple NDs in my life, usually by failing to control the recoil on a semi-auto and pulling the trigger twice. But I've had precisely one AD. That...

    What do you carry everyday?

    LC9, spare mag, car key, other keys, wallet, beater knife, show knife (so I always have something as a sample of my work), and the iPhone used to take this pic. Link Removed

    Humor

    I've got the machete, hatchet, binoculars and book. I don't have those exact firearms, but I think I'm pretty well covered by what I do have. I'll skip the Spam though.

    First time at the range with the new LC9

    Took me a while to get used to the double action trigger, but once I did, I think I did ok. This was roughly 45 rounds fired at my last target of the night, from about 30 feet. Link Removed Just don't ask to see the first target... :hang3: On a related note. Towards the end it wasn't wanting...

    Ruger LC9 for My Birthday!

    So after buying my wife a Marlin 795 for her birthday, I guess she got the bug. I hadn't planned on doing anything for my birthday yesterday, but when my wife got home from work, she asked "you want to go to Cabela's tonight?" Well, I'm certainly not going to pass that opportunity up. So we...

    My wife bought her first gun today

    I think she got tired of waiting for her dad to hand down his sweet Winchester .22 lever action. It's a Marlin 795. Simple, reliable and extremely accurate from what I've heard. It has the added bonus of using the same magazines as my 880SS, meaning we can head out and shoot and not need to...

    Post some cool pics you've taken

    I like them, but on your first 3 shots, you need to recrop to level out your horizons. The 3rd pic is the worst for that.

    "objective journalism" at it's finest... [sarcasm]

    Link Removed Acquired the power to kill? Tell ya what. I can kill a guy with a steak knife, or a pencil, or a rope, or even that big rock I've got in my yard. Maybe we should require all rock owners to have permits too. Where do I apply for my permit to carry a pencil? :crazy_pilot:

    48 hour film project

    This past weekend, I was part of a team that participated in the Minneapolis 48 Hour Film Project. It's an event where teams are given a specific genre and elements, and have 48 hours to write, shoot and produce a short film based on them. My team's film is called "Home" and our team name is...

    Recommendations for a good "shake" flashlight?

    I'm looking for a non-battery operated flashlight to keep in the BOB. It's not one I'm going to be carrying around a lot of places, just to keep around should I need some extra light and don't have good batteries in my other lights. So the two main things I'm considering are a) brightness and b)...

    IWB holster for Ruger P85

    Dressing up your gun?

    We all know that people who are serious about their weapons tend to do things here and there to get them to perform exactly the way they like. I'm talking trigger jobs, different sights, lasers, etc. But what about visually? Who here has modified their gun(s) (carry or safe weapon, your choice)...
