Indiana weather has been unseasonal for almost the past year, running 8 to 15 degrees below normal across the board. But this isn’t according to the global warming, er… climate change worshipers an indication that the earth isn’t warming. No, they say, regional weather trends cannot be pointed out to refute that the earth is [...]
Governor Daniels still has a fair amount of work to do this session but I’m most interested in seeing him sign onto HB 1065. If you’re so inclined it probably wouldn’t hurt to drop him a note of encouragement. Though Governor Daniels is of the “compassionate conservative” brand of Republican Indiana could have done far [...]
People not intimately familiar with the activist side of shooting often ask why gun owners seem mad about what they perceive vague threats to our rights. That conversation can take hours and a lot of references… but now thanks to Joe Huffman all we have to do is tell them to go read Why gun [...]
It looks like any toy gun with a metal barrel is the ATFE’s target as “machine guns”. I’m not exactly an AirSoft fan but I see their charm. Remember that these toys were designed by a people who are not allowed to own real guns, these are their substitutes…. With the President being the unofficial [...]
I know I mostly post about politics, motorcycles and firearms but the part of my life that pays for those things I’m a technology guy. It’s not too often I do much code work with other things being more entertaining but of late a friend brought the project FullCalendar to my attention as he integrated [...]

Following up on getting the “guns in your car” bill through to the governor there are 2 on The Indiana Law Blog (worth a bookmark btw). The first ran on March 6th and a follow up on March 8th following a work place shooting up in Portage Indiana which opponents are attempting to use to [...]
The liberals/progressives/nutcases are always harping on war spending and a way to tell Republicans to shut up already when they oppose yet more spending. Of course this is a diversion to stop opposition to their political roadmap of turning America into a European style Socialist State. But back to spending money… we know where there [...]
I cannot believe I’m linking to them but even the Daily Kos sees Hostettler as the man to beat in the coming race to fill Evan Bayh’s senate seat. They even instructs their minions to remember to “…root for Coats in the GOP primary”. Coats’ remember is the seat Bayh took, who now wants it [...]
Tam points to an Indiana Supreme Court ruling which essentially means the presence of a weapon alone is not probable cause that a crime has been, is being, or is about to be committed. Reading the full decision I believe the Court found a good balance between individual rights and officer safety. Could it be [...]
