Oh, this stupidity again.

By | August 3, 2015

A while back, I wrote about the stupidity of Metro Nashville’s opinion that they can still ban guns at concerts in parks because… uh… going to a concert isn’t recreation. Well, the state Attorney General has put out and opinion that states that no, they can’t do that. Nashville Metro’s Legal Director’s response?  “We’re going… Read More »

…and the horse you rode in on

I know, I’m a couple days late on this one, but I’ve got to rant about it.  If you haven’t already heard, a couple who lost their daughter in the theater shooting in Aurora, Co decided to sue 4 websites that sold the killer ammo.  They lost… badly.  Not only did they lose, but they… Read More »

Well… I guess there is interest

By | June 8, 2015

Well, that’s at least the second person to ask me if there’s going to be a Bidet Shoot 3 this year, so… I guess I should try to figure something out. Of course, it won’t be this month, since next weekend is the only weekend in June I’m not already doing something, and I’m not… Read More »

Random thought of the day.

I have the solution to all those cops leaving their guns in bathrooms or accidentally firing them while preparing to use/leaving the facilities. Replace the pants portion of the police uniform with kilts. No need to remove the kilt when going to the bathroom, therefor there’s absolutely no need to remove the firearm (if there… Read More »

Shameless self promotion!

By | May 21, 2015

If you’re the kind of person interested in scifi conventions, I’m the gaming director of a convention called Hypericon on the weekend of June 19-21 in Nashville.  It’s currently only $30 for weekend, which includes access to a con suite with great food for the weekend. If you’re interested, and wish to get a hotel… Read More »

You have got to be $^*@ing kidding me!

By | May 7, 2015

I’m having a hard time seeing straight over this one.  Apparently, Memphis and Nashville are planning on still banning guns in certain parks, even after the state passed the law saying that they can’t. Just to catch people up, the final language of the law stated that a carry permit holder can carry in a… Read More »

5.11 has kilts again, but….

By | April 28, 2015

The good folks over at the Firearm Blog have noticed that 5.11 have brought back their Tactical Duty Kilts.  I thought they had decided to give up these limited runs after not making a new announcement for April Fools.  I’m curious if they got a bunch of email asking about. I bought a couple of… Read More »

A little late, but….

By | April 24, 2015

The guns in parks bill is finally signed! Of course, I was hoping for it to be signed and in effect before NRAAM, so we could have a cook out, but that didn’t happen. Also, I love how my wonderful mayor has stated that he will “work with the Metro legal department to better understand… Read More »

More troubles for Colt

By | April 22, 2015

Th folks at the Firearms Blog have noticed an article at the New York Times talking about what looks to be the inevitable bankruptcy of Colt. On one hand, this makes me sad.  Colt has a long history, and has been responsible for some important firearms.  While this bankruptcy doesn’t mean the end of Colt,… Read More »

I’ve made it!

By | April 21, 2015

It’s official!  I’ve made it as a gun blogger!  I went to NRAAM and was given a wheelbarrow full of cash!  I mean, I’ve been told that we bloggers are just paid off stooges for the gun industry. I even have a picture! Thanks to Longhorn Jeff (who’s blog seems to be abandoned, but it… Read More »
