Poor victim selection

By | April 19, 2012

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… Read More »

Two more looking to join the club

By | April 17, 2012

Looks like Erin has managed to get through the carry class along with her mom.  Of course, by get through the class, I mean they came home with the same number of holes they left with and managed not to fall asleep at any point. Along with that, apparently her mom picked up a nice… Read More »

BAG purchase report

By | April 16, 2012

So… I finally bought that .22 pistol that I’ve been talking about needing to do for a while on the way back from the scifi con yesterday.  After considerable research and lots of thought between the Beretta NEOS and Ruger MkIII, I went with neither. Instead, I picked up this: A Browning Buck Mark with… Read More »

I live… sort of

By | April 15, 2012

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… Read More »

Something to remember…

By | April 12, 2012

…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… Read More »

5.11 Tactical Kilt?

By | April 3, 2012

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… Read More »

Update on the Bersa Thunder 9

By | April 2, 2012

Got off the phone with Dana at Bersa.  She’s going to send me a new extractor under warranty.  I also went ahead and ordered a new slide stop for my Thunder 380.  Both should be here some time this week.

Bersa Thunder 9 Pro Range Trip

By | April 2, 2012

I managed to slip away to the range Saturday morning to try my new purchase.  It was a beautiful sunny day, but, oddly enough, the range wasn’t packed by the time I showed up. The first thing I noticed was that the magazines were actually easy to load, at least until you got past the… Read More »
