By | January 29, 2013

Since my previous post about this rifle, I’ve added a couple of things: PRI Gas Buster: YHM Phantom Flash Hider: Needed those, because I got this: 😀 6 month wait this time, partially my own fault for not reading the directions (As it turns out, if you print the two-page Form 4 on two pages,… Read More »

Don’t Use Quicken [UPDATE: Or TurboTax]

By | January 25, 2013

Intuit, the company that makes Quicken, QuickBooks, and several other pieces of financial software* has decided that guns are icky and they want no part of them. Give them what they want. Use something else. Update: Linoge reminds me in the comments that they also make TurboTax. Might I suggest some H&R Block Tax Software… Read More »

A note to the pundits

By | January 17, 2013

I’m seeing a lot of right-leaning media folks saying things like “none of these gun control proposals from President Obama would have stopped the Sandy Hook shooting.” This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how anti-gun folks work.

Review: Williams FireSights

By | January 9, 2013

My Buckmaster is a super accurate little .22 pistol, and I thought it was great out of the box except for really one thing: the sights.  They’re your standard black on black adjustable pistol sights.  The rear sight is metal and has both windage and elevation adjustment screws, which is nice, but the front is… Read More »
