Huh… hadn’t thought about that…

By | July 11, 2017

One of my friends just got his paperwork back on a silencer that he submitted almost exactly 1 year ago (360 days, do be exact).  Judging by the comments on his Facebook post, roughly a year  turn around on NFA paperwork is not unusual these days.  Oh, and for the record, this is far from… Read More »

I… wow…

By | June 7, 2017

So, one of my seriously left leaning friends that is anti-gun posted the following picture with the comment “Not what I like to see at work……” Me, being the smartass that I am, commented “The fact that both the definition for rifle and shotgun are wrong?” To which she replied: “Well, I wouldn’t know, I… Read More »

Well… that went differently than expected

Dennis at Dragon Leatherworks hosted the Second Annual East Tennessee Blogger Shoot this past weekend.  I’ll try to do a proper write-up of it soon, but I wanted to make sure to mention a couple things. I actually went with the desire to shoot a little .32acp derringer and a Ruger LCR in .357mag.  Both… Read More »

Whoop-de-freakin-do

So, apparently, everyone is talking about TN’s governor signing a bill into law that would make silencers legal here. You’d think I’d be excited over this, but… meh. The thing is that silencers were already legal here. The previous state law stated that silencers were illegal, unless you were in compliance with the NFA.  Yes, it… Read More »

Elio’s having problems. This is my shocked face.

By | May 4, 2017

Recently, I read that Elio was saying that it needed more money to make some prototypes, do testing, and actually start producing their nifty little car. A lot more money. Somewhere around the lines of $376 million. For those of you that haven’t heard of Elio, they’re a company that was created in 2009 to produce… Read More »

Quick observation of NRAAM 2017

By | May 2, 2017

The theme to NRAAM this year was definitely “Suppress All the Things!” When Ruger is showing off an integrated suppressor barrel, and half of the stuff Brownell’s has displayed has cans on them, you know that the industry is banking on the Hearing Protection Act passing. I hope they’re right.

For those going to NRAAM next week.

You’re probably already aware of the bridge collapse on I-85. Apparently, the southeast side felt left out, and I-20 decided it would be fun to randomly buckle upwards. Atlanta traffic is “fun” when there isn’t major road issues.  Prepare for insanity.

Why I Don’t Carry a Dedicated Defense Knife

By | April 5, 2017

I think we’ve all seen or heard people advise folks that you should always carry a defensive knife that’s razor sharp and never use it as your EDC knife for opening boxes, etc.  I just don’t buy it. First off, there’s a simple issue of carrying one more thing.  I already carry my gun, keys,… Read More »
