It took a couple of days, but here is the Barrett M82 I bought:

As FarmDad quipped, “the weight is right.”

Somebody broke into the wrong apartment in the Antioch area of Nashville last night.  Broke in to find the occupants there, struggle ensued, shots fired, and that’s all she wrote for that particular goblin.

Oddly enough, a couple hours earlier, in a different part of town, I was talking to my Tai Chi instructor, and we both agreed that if you’re going to have a home defense gun, it should be on you.  You probably won’t have time to go get it when you need it.

Oh, and this story is a wonderful example of why, when I bought my house, I had to explain to both my parents “yes, I bought a house in Antioch.  No, not that part of Antioch.”

Well, I ended up not sleeping as much as I meant to at the scifi con.  For some reason, my body decided that I needed to get up at 8:30am both Saturday and Sunday, not caring that I was out partying until 3am Friday night and 5am Saturday.

Oh, and while I failed to catch any purple women (though the drinking and the kilt wearing was successful), something did follow me home on the drive back.  Pics to follow tomorrow when I hopefully has the brains.

Things might look weird for a little bit.

…have fun. Wish I could have made it this year, since it’s only a few hours down the road. Instead, I will be having fun, to quote my coworker, “drinking heavily and chasing purple women while wearing a kilt.”

Just… uh… don’t tell Naienko.

…the next time my mom asks “where do you go that you think you’re going to need a gun?”

There was a drug deal that went bad that caused shots to be fired at the Sonic in the Bellevue area of Nashville.  For those of you not familiar with the area, Bellevue is a fairly quiet middle income area.  My dad had a house there when I was in high school, and my great aunt lives just down the road from where the shooting happened.

Still waiting.

According to the nifty NFA Wait Time Calculator, I should be getting it within the next 10 weeks.

Rapes on campus are only up 47% from last year.

Violent crimes in general are only up by 20% on college campuses.

So, I’m praying this actually exists.  I love my Utilikilts, but they are a bit pricey.  I own a mocker ($200) and a survival ($330).  They’re great construction, and worth the money, but not cheap.  5.11 is showing these at $60 a pop?  Yes, please.

Dear 5.11:

Please make these real, and I promise the sale of 2 42″ ones in black as fast as I can click the button.
