Him: "That's a cool hat you got, there!" Me: "Hmm?" Him: "That hat. The Blackwater hat. It's cool. Where'dja get it?" Me: "Blackwater." Him: "Oh." Actually, I didn't, because we spent so much time shooting that by the time we got done, the pro shop was closed. I know, I know... The things I have to ...

I have gone on at length before about that sexy piece of pocket jewelry that is the Prybaby. (Someday I will own one of Atwood's awesome pocket gizmos!) I know I have mentioned that two of the handiest things I own are my Leatherman Micra and my Leatherman Juice KF4. The Caspian Pocketsmith II's tha...

The country had had a bellyful of George Bush, Dick Cheney, and the rest of the messengers of darkness in Washington who had sold out the principles of the Republican Party in favor of huge deficits, a doubling of the national debt, and a growing intrusion of the federal government into people's pri...

It's important to prep for the scenarios you think you might face. I'm not sure if Zombie Bob is kin to Rob Zombie, but I am all spun up for the dance, just in case. I feel bad about those two dropped shots with the Para LTC9... PS: Why do targets put the A-Zone on the noggin above the eyebrows? Is ...

...but it's real hard to feign much enthusiasm about it at what my hindbrain is telling me is 0mygod30 in the AM. I'm abandoning my roomie to her typing and heading to Nat'l Gun Day in L'ville. Back later!...

I am not kidding: A state legislator in Rhode Island has put forward a piece of legislation that would create a state board for arbitrating disputes between parents in youth sports. Srsly. An honest-to-Shiva taxpayer-funded government panel for refereeing penalty kicks in AYSA soccer, explaining the...

There is a strong undercurrent of WJB-esque populism on both sides of the political spectrum. Today I got to see it surface when somebody blamed the fat cats for the current ammo shortage:I think it's the ammo manufacturers taking advantage of a demand side spike to run up prices when they could jus...

As I mentioned elsewhere, it was too cold for pins, and so some impromptu steel stages were set up. The first one was pretty simple, just five steel plate targets set up at varying heights and distances, but all around ten yards out or so; one shot per target, three runs, keep your best time. The th...

Marko has another post up about the joys of taking pen in hand. There are a few dissenters in comments; unsurprisingly we're looking at things from the other hand. Literally. I’m left handed. I’d rather write 130wpm with both hands than drag the heel of my hand through graphite or wet ink… -Va...

...but selling somebody else's is just gauche. Greenwell proposed selling two of the couple's children to the Romeros for $2,000, saying that her job as a truck driver made it hard to take care of the children, said Capt. Keith Dupre of the Evangeline Parrish Sheriff's Office in Louisiana. The parti...
