Last week I mentioned that I listen to audio books when I walk the dog or run. I finished up Purple Cow and moved on to Seth Godin’s most famous work, Tribes. I’m about three quarters of the way through it, but the other day I heard him say this: A fundamentalist is a person… Read More »
The guys from Impressum Media reached out to me a while back and asked me if I’d be interested in reviewing their latest product, Firearms Guide with Schematics: 3rd Edition. Being a sucker for 1)guns, 2)pictures of guns, and 3)computer geekery, I naturally said yes. A few days later, I got my review copy in… Read More »
Leonard Embody has lost yet another appeal regarding his detainment in a Nashville park. As it turns out, if you intentionally act suspicious in order to get the police called on you, you don’t get to complain that the police are called. There was a new tidbit I hadn’t heard before: A good part of… Read More »
Back in June I mentioned that the company that bought the local bank I had been using has a corporate policy of posting “No Permit Holders Guns Allowed.” When I informed the local branch manager that I would be closing all of our accounts, I got this email in response: Capital Bank’s decision to not… Read More »
That’s the sentence handed down to Hank Wise for the murder of Ben Goeser, the late husband of my friend Nikki Goeser. You can read her story through those links. 23 years doesn’t seem long enough, but I’m glad she no longer has this hanging over her head. The wait is always excruciating.

I have a gun sitting in my safe collecting dust that I know he’d be interested in. One would think that I could just decide “hey dad, here, take this from your… Read More »
Last weekend I traveled up to Kentucky to participate in a private range session put on by one of my co-workers. It was specifically for folks that work in our business unit, and came about after a conversation that a database administrator had with a mid-level manager about Call of Duty. The manager’s teenage son… Read More »
On Friday, I did something that makes the anti-gun nuts skin crawl. I met a stranger in a parking lot and paid cash for a “high powered assault weapon.” No paperwork done. I inspected the rifle, handed him the cash, and we both went our separate ways after a hand shake. This particular acquisition is… Read More »
Wow! That was easy! Why haven’t I done this before?
I mentioned a while back that I bought an AR lower kinda by accident. I decided to make it a Magpul Fanboi Rifle after input from folks at the gunblogger_conspiracy. Also, in case you’re wondering, subsonic 300blk out of a 20″ barrel has a 44 foot drop at 400 yards. Not recommended. I bought the… Read More »
