Busy week
Recovering from a sinus infection, wife’s car in the shop, and the magically-tripling-hospital-bill have taken precedence over the blog. Here’s a picture of my newly suppressed P22 as a consolation:
Permission Slip
It took 299 days since the day I ordered it, and 190 days since I went pending, but I just got the call from my dealer that my paperwork has come back. I (well, my trust) now own a .22 suppressor. Picking it up tomorrow today. (ETA: Couldn’t wait. My Precious!) Sending off a new… Read More »
Does it seem like NFA transfers are taking longer than they used to?
It’s not just you. It’s definitely taking longer now than it did a year ago. The author thinks that about a year ago a new process was put in place, and that process is creating a backlog. It’s not just that more people are buying NFA items. This may, or may not, be intentional. At… Read More »
Help me get the word out about state-level organizations

Interesting read on FBI “Patriot Conspiracy” operations in the 1990’s
This was published last month, but I only recently discovered it via Bruce Schneier. The operation’s intent, secondary to the threats on paper at least, was to broadly collect intelligence on the Patriot movement’s members and activities, according to records of the investigation and former FBI agents who worked on the case. Three Patriot groups… Read More »
I have more problems with .22 pistols…
So, I went to the range with my TKD instructor and her partner yesterday so that she could get some recoil therapy. Among other things, I took that Browning Buck Mark I bought last week. They brought a Mossberg 500 that the instructor bought for home defense, a couple Glocks, a couple S&W airlight .38… Read More »
