They were warned before even putting the proposition on the ballot that it was illegal but they didn’t listen and now the citizens of San Francisco are paying for the legal fees to defend, and loose, a lawsuit. And the judge ruled municipalities can’t ban people from owning handguns. The law also banned the […]

Or so says the advertisment of the mother selling her son’s car because she found booze under the seat. Kudos.

After gun control, sword control and knife control.. coming soon to Britian: Hammer control. I wonder if the penalties or licensing will be different for “claw” versus “ball peen”?

Check out this tool to give you an idea where you stand versus where the candidates stand. After going through it and checking the results with some judicious Googling it looks pretty accrate but Caveat Emptor…
In case you’re interested the top 2 candidates when I used the tool were Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson…

Polls have been unliable measures of political will in America for a long time. Locally the polls have been wrong the last few election cycles and the inaccuracy gap has been widening to the point polls published locally are a popular target of ridicule.
The trend continues elsewhere around the country but ever so […]

Remember the scathing rebuke of the Obama-Islam link some months ago? Daniel Pipes rebuked that rebuke and Confirms Barack Obama Practiced Islam. Add that to the recent attention on the Christian church Obama currently attends superficially appears to be more concerned with African activistism and vaguely racist to boot. Almost […]

New York has such a problem with Muzzle Loaders they’re proposing requiring owners acquire an ‘Antique Firearms’ permit. That’s right, you would need a permit in New York to own the antiques that gave the New York legislature the ability to take draconian actions against its citizens instead letting the British do it. Kind of […]

Every now and then one must step back and say we told you so.

Colorado seems to be falling into rapid marxist/fascist disrepair quickly when a SWAT team invades home to take 11-year-old at gunpoint. Why a SWAT team?
The sheriff said the decision to use SWAT team force was justified because the father was a “self-proclaimed constitutionalist” and had made threats and “comments” over the years.
Being a self-proclaimed constitutionalist […]

“If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honor of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fill the seats of government, […]

Remember than Energy Bill the Democrat controlled House of Representives pass last month that requires the phasing out of traditional incandensent bulbs in favor of more expensive flouresent “energy conserving” bulbs? Yeah well be careful you don’t break one.
I wonder if they’ll have a recycling plan in place before this mandate goes into effect? […]

Though not sunny it was 62 degrees here in central Indiana today. As long as it isn’t pouring rain I can handle the dreary overcast day, wet roads, drizzle and road spray for an opportunity to spend a bit of quality time with the VTX. As usually happens when there are other places to […]

I use Sea Foam and Techron (fuel injector cleaner) in rotation in my VTX, each for their own purposes. The problem I have is measuring and transporting the right amount. These products, as most automotive fuel system products, come sized for a 20-25 gallon tank. The VTX has a 4+ gallon tank…
So I have been […]

So who still thinks ethanol is a good idea when we still have huge oil reserves? Who’s willing to go on record saying the third world can starve as long as it prevents anyone from drilling off the coasts or in Alaska? Not much of anyone, but that’s what they think. After all, these […]

An interesting Russian article telling us why a cold spell soon to replace global warming.

You cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery”, and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians.
It creates a hostile work environment.

It is being reported that gunmaker Remington is going to buy Marlin and I can’t decide who is getting the better deal. Remington is a giant corporate manufacturer with all the baggage that comes with. While Marlin is largely a family operation.
Part of me is sad to see a long time icon […]

For many years there existed a website at the address of Packing.org which contained a database of state firearms laws on concealed handgun carry, reciprocation, etc.. It has only just come to my attention that this primary source of data disappeared last fall.
The Internet and firearms enthusiasts being what they are no […]
