The Packing Rat

[sarcasm] He OODA’d that cell good. Given his credentials, he was fully capable of handling his firearm this stressful situation. [/sarcasm] Ex-sheriff shoots his way out of a jam COLUMBIA, Ky. – Shoot first, ask questions later. That, apparently, is the motto of former Adair County Deputy Sheriff Charles Wright, who accidentally locked himself in […]

It’s so horrible, I laughed. Israel’s military has “unfriended” one of its own — after a combat soldier potentially updated Israel’s enemies on Facebook. The military said Wednesday that a planned raid on a West Bank village was called off after the soldier disclosed its details online. The military said the soldier posted the time […]

“With minimal work, it can be converted into a machine gun.” – ATF Guy (cousin of DEA Guy) EDIT:  Now I’m curious how close these airsoft rifles are to bona fide receivers. Very interesting to see how federal money is being spent.

I’ve previously mentioned my disdain for Paul Clement and was perplexed as to why it was necessary to grant NRA time to argue a Due Process clause when it was already sufficiently addressed in Alan Gura’s brief.  I didn’t think the Court was going to grant NRA’s request, but they did anyway.  Recently, Illya Shapiro […]

As reported by Josh Blackman: The NRA Respondents-Supporting-Petitioners, in McDonald v. Chicago, have filed a Motion for Divided Argument to request time at oral arguments. Petitioner opposed this motion. In short, the NRA, represented by Paul Clement at King & Spalding, is asking to divide Gura’s time, and to get 10 minutes to argue. The […]

Earlier this week, I was invited to check out Cataract Falls located at Mt. Tamalpais inside Marin Water Municipal District. It was a wonderful looking hike with gorgeous waterfalls. Lots of color and lots of water! It appeared to be very a popular trail; particularly for a weekday. With winter break in place, I suppose […]

From Chuck Michel of MICHEL & ASSOCIATES, P.C.  Bold emphasis is mine: I am posting this primarily to ask CalGuns activists to assist with contacting the Glenn County Board of Education through http://www.calnra.com website as requested below. I don’t want to compete with CalGuns Foundation for funding of cases like these, because CalGuns Foundation does […]

I’m watching Mythbusters right now.  I see that they’re setting up their experiment to shoot a single action army revolver out of a simulated hand. WTF? I’m heart broken that they’re going to shoot it… even for the sake of science. EDIT:  Okay.  It wasn’t that bad… EDIT II:  LOL at the attempt to discharge […]

Re:  McDonald vs. Chicago I didn’t realize that Sacramento was going to make this a huge issue; however, it appears that Sacramento City Council’s decision to support the position that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution does not apply to the States and local governments made it to the radio. Bill Wiese of […]

Meleanie Hain of Lebanon used to tell the news media that she carried a Glock 26 pistol everywhere she went to protect herself and her children. Then last week she was shot to death by her husband in what police called a murder-suicide. Melanie Hain should have nothing to do with this article. She was […]

Encourage initiatives rather than honor results.  Great.  Just what we need.  I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised… Promote Marxism.  Hate the United States.  Win a prize.

Having a laser pointed at you isn’t a big deal, but it can be irritating.  Identifying the culprit was like a game for me, however.  When I look up too quick, they would cease.  If I maintained my position, they were less responsive.  I allowed their shenanigans to continue and identified that there were two […]

I was observing a classroom today to satisfy admission requirements for a teaching credential.  This isn’t my first experience observing a classroom , but I’m still baffled by the words these students speak.  I know I was an idiot in high school [I continue to have my moments], but I’m frightened to think I was […]

Out of all of Xavier’s Ugly Gun Sunday posts, this one has offended me the most.   Ugh!  I wish I still had mine…

As noted here by Kevin at The Smallest Minority: Soldier’s Angels uses PayPal for their on-line donations. PayPal even has a “Case Study” of Soldier’s Angels’ success (PDF) using PayPal, bragging: Today Soldiers’ Angels’ biggest online contributions go through PayPal. “It’s trustworthy to people and so they donate,” says (Founder Patty) Patton-Bader. “There’s a confidence […]

I don’t know.  Can you fake that?  Seems too stupid to be real…

.22LR casings fired from a Model “1′ Sales dedicated upper with a 20” heavy barrel.  It’s not the gun – it’s the ammunition.  It reliably does not feed Winchester Super X ammunition.  Using Black Dog Industries 10 round magazines, the cartridge would make it inside the chamber, but would not be fully seated inside.  It […]
