I’m watching, listening, and reading the news coming in from around the country and the world… I’m seeing the whole world going to hell in a handbasket. And I just don’t care anymore. I’m seeing Mankind’s ability to be inhumane to fellow man. Our Government’s Puppet Theater to keep the blissfully ignorant and gullible occupied while they run us into the ground. The seeds of war spread and taking root around the globe. I’m just not caring much anymore about all of it. Nothing is surprising me about how bad it’s getting. I really don’t care anymore.

Here’s what’s going on. Last Tuesday I got a twinge of pain in my left knee. Wednesday morning, that knee was swollen and causing me huge amounts of acute pain. It’s only gotten worse. This morning I went to see the Saw Bones and he had a battery of tests done and x-rays. He drained a lot of fluid from the knee and injected Cortisone into it… a lot of Cortisone. I don’t think I’ll need surgery again. He also gave me a script for some serious pain meds. Right now I am without pain. That’s a beautiful thing.

But that’s better than this clown claiming that “The Gun just went off” as he tries to explain to a grieving family how he killed their kid/dad/mom/etc. Continue reading Tom Selleck, good guy.→
Anyone who has perused popular firearms related forums has likely encountered the dreaded gun snob who seemed to know it all. A list of his or her personally approved Mil-Spec AR 15 manufacturers was likely produced at some point during the encounter. If your AR doesnt happen to be from one of those listed companies – you are ill prepared and will likely die as a result of your “jammomatic” not operating properly. In most cases, the list provided includes very reputable companies that do in fact produce high quality ARs. Does that mean they are the only companies that make quality guns of that genre? I think not. Continue reading Milspec = Quality? Guest Post by Daniel Shaw→
250 bucks and The Bomber (my old Chevy… because it sounds just like a B-24 Bomber) is ready for another trip over Berlin. Or into Town. What really hurt was the 80 bucks to fill the tank.
I forgot to add our friend Jim’s blog to the Big Fat Blogroll. Gas and Lead. Bookmark it! Jim is talking about some cool guns, and he’s got a couple cool new guns coming… so check in on them.
There are not a whole lot of hot Villainesses in Sci-Fi and Fantasy. These are my Top Five Favorites. Each one is an evil bea-otch that uses her womanhood to ruin men or are just plain evil-crazy and reminds me of someone I used to know. Descending Order:
Thank you to Retired Officer Eric for the cool old school Army holster. I was wanting just such a rig for riding in the mountains. Looking at the gear inspired me to take a photo.
Coolness.
Does anyone have an Plates for the vest? I still need the plates.
