Which is no big surprise. Remember when reading this article that what constitues an illegal or illegally owned weapon in New York state is the mere presence of the weapon. That includes in the hands of someone that could own the exact same weapon in other states.
Found a couple of good commentary pieces on the current situation in Iraq now that the war is over. Check out Iraqis seem to be getting along just fine and Iraq’s Identity Crisis for your evening assignments.
Thanks to Elizabeth and Chris S. (not my Bro and his significant other, a different Chris and Elizabeth) there is now a new addition to my reloading workbench! All these FAL’s have quite an appetite and good surplus ammo is getting harder to come by cheaply (running about $150/thousand rounds right now). I’ve been using [...]
I finally got my 2 babies back from being parkerized and put back together. On the way to the range (about 50 ft from where the pics were taken) I snapped these for my website and thought I’d share. This is a reasonably comprehensive recap of the notes in the various image galleries built along [...]

I was fortunate to find someone in Indiana that does parkerizing. AJ in Carmel has now done 2 complete rifles and one parts kit for me. The parkerizing is the gray zink variety such as is normally found on M1 Garands or Springfield 1903′s. There were a few problems with the parts I had AJ [...]

What the Democrats don’t want “us” to know is that those “left out” of the tax cut don’t pay taxes. How to you give back or return something to someone that didn’t [...]
Bill Clinton used Iraqi WMD’s existence in ’98, the U.N. has acknowledged that Iraq has them. Hans Blix acknowledges that there are WMD’s missing from previous known information. But it was President Bush that actually acted on the information and gained the political clout from the most recent endeavors in Iraq. And the Democrats don’t [...]
