Dear Jeremy Alcede of Tactical Firearms, Katy, TX: I hope you freeze in the dark, you gutless quisling punk. – Tam Mr. Alcede is not the first gun-related merchant ready to throw your rights under the bus for a moment’s … Continue reading →

Here’s something I didn’t consider while I worked so hard to get on the Olympic team… American gold medal winners will pay the IRS up to $8,986. Silver medal winners will pay up to $5,385. Bronze medal winners will pay … Continue reading →

Just sayin.

We did too build that! I mentioned that flash floods destroyed all the wash crossings yesterday afternoon. By the time I got out there this morning all but one had been set to rights. Not a government machine in sight. … Continue reading →

Yesterday around noon I did something cowardly prudent. Though it turns out it wouldn’t have made any difference if I hadn’t done it, I’m still not sorry. In contrast to Tam’s complaints about the weather, we’ve had rain pretty much … Continue reading →

In Fayetteville and many places, a driver with a broken taillight can be stopped and searched by consent by officers looking for a bag of weed. Yet the same person can build an arsenal and attract no notice. And he … Continue reading →

Since Saturday afternoon I’ve waited with special impatience for my Amazon order to arrive. I’d accumulated $135 in there over months, and major invasions have probably gone off with less planning than what went into my constantly-changing shopping cart during … Continue reading →

I’m totally drawing a blank on reasons you should be here today, so I think I’ll turn the microphone over to Mama Liberty who says, among other things: I carry a gun. Get over it. RTWT.

Wow. Why do people live there?

…but not if you see US! NYPD is allowed to spy on you any time, any where. We don’ need no steenking jurisdiction, because 9/11!

Yesterday was the worst so far in the Monsoon. Rain started around ten in the morning and came down HARD. Mudslide from the gully behind the Lair filled the drainage pipe. Everything is mud, far as the eye can see. … Continue reading →

Morning started out normal enough. Get up, eat, futz around for a while, load the boys in the Jeep, go to J&H’s, prepare to shovel shit. But before I ever got started, J asked me if I wanted to go … Continue reading →

So most shooters are just a liability, hey? The video’s scary senior citizen clearly hasn’t spent a lot of time in a “high speed low drag” pistol course lately, but he got the job done anyway. Rule #1: Have A … Continue reading →

I’m not sure what they’re trying to prove, but what the hell? Maybe China’s leaders got a closeout bargain on sixties-era “evil overlord’s henchgirl” costumes.

I don’t give a shit what you believe.

Nanny Mike says something I can get behind. BLOOMBERG: Well, I would take it one step further. I don’t understand why the police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say, we’re going to go on strike. We’re … Continue reading →

Borepatch’s posting of the famous “Pachelbel Rant” got me to thinking of ways the musical wool was pulled over my eyes so repeatedly when I was a kid. Fact is, a lot of pop songs either base their melodies on … Continue reading →

He forgot the kukri and/or tomahawk, or – gods help us – the sword. But seriously, I’ve seen kids show up at militia meetups with 100#+ loadouts that would make Burt Gummer blush and actually try to move fast. Sometimes … Continue reading →
