The Packing Rat

Derek writes about nonsense.

I had a total of six entries.  I used Random.org to pick the winner.  The criteria wasn’t best picture, only participation.  Blurry photos, etc. were OK so as long as they were yours. Congratulations, John S!  I will contact you shortly so I may send out the M&Pc TT Gunleather holster to you.  For the […]

I just discovered it.  Excuse me while I go back under my rock.

Original Combat Cock inspired.  The Packing Rat’s prototype Reconnaissance Rats.

My employer had one made for me.  Pretty flippin’ cool.  I love it!

For whatever reason, I consider the BlogRank feed burner to be a fair benchmark.  I am quite happy to see that I made it to the top 25.

First time I received a summary from WordPress, so I thought this was interesting. I’m surprised the Elcan SpecterDR, or the M&P 9mm didn’t make the cut.  Interesting.  The Winchester 69 post has a life of it’s own; I don’t understand that.  SHOT Show 2010 naturally received the most hits thanks to AR15.com.  SaysUncle.com sends […]

I’m attending as media with a broadcast badge.  I am permitted to shoot video and still photos on the floor. Exhibitors:  For 2011, I will attend Media Day and SHOT Show throughout the week.  Interested in me stopping by?  Please email me your booth number, and contact information. For firearm manufactures/importers/dealers: I’ve made arrangements with […]

I was giving a few embroidery places a shot and this is what Zazzle came up with.  It turned out OK, but I may have to make some adjustments on the logo or discuss this further with someone with more experience.  Anyway, I have one in cactus green available.  This will look good on anyone! […]

Can’t really say the campaign had anything to do with it, since everyone who became a fan didn’t enter the drawing, but 26 new individuals became a fan this week!  Awesome! Congrats to Link P., a gun blogger at Peace, Love And Ammunition for winning the Crimson Trace Cord Lock Light! Didn’t win?  That’s okay!  […]

I came home from Gun Blogger Rendezvous 2010 with lots of swag, many of which I will not use, so I want to give them away.  Of course, I don’t have enough for everyone; you may have to do a little bit of leg work.  I am also making an attempt at marketing. This week, […]

People wear ’em.  They really do!

Seeing Mr. Halbrook again was cool. July 2nd 2008.  I met David in real life in Oakland at the Independent Institute following the Heller decision.  The blogosphere turned real for me that day.  Did you know I wouldn’t have met any you kind folks at the Gun Blogger Rendezvous if it weren’t for David?  There […]

Forgive the change folks. A three column layout appears to work out the way I want it to. Unless I start to have problems like last time, this looks like it’s going to stick.
