Gun Control

--Going light on posts because I am on vacation! Back soon.

Shot Glass!

Want.

My bar could really use a set of these!

“How can you protect yourself by carrying a sword if you don’t know how to use it?’
Not me, sir. Other people. They see the sword and don’t attack me,’ said Maladict patiently.
Yes, but if they did, lad, you wouldn’t be any good with it,’ said the sergeant.
No, sir. I’d probably settle for just ripping their heads off, sir. That’s what I mean by protection, sir. Theirs, not mine. And I’d get hell from the League if I did that, sir.”

― Terry Pratchett, Monstrous Regiment
“Beautiful girls should know how to defend themselves against the advances of gentlemen.”

― Cassandra Clare

“Most gun control arguments miss the point. If all control boils fundamentally to force, how can one resist aggression without equal force? How can a truly “free” state exist if the individual citizen is enslaved to the forceful will of individual or organized aggressors? It cannot.”

― Tiffany Madison

I still want this knife

I saw this at first over at The Black Sunday Society and immediately put it on my Christmas list.

Inside the magazine in the handle is:

compartment door is a diamond hone
a Leatherman Micro
a magnesium and flint fire starter
a needle for sewing
a length of synthetic sinew for snares, fishing, sewing, a bow string etc.
fish hooks
it has capacity for a .45 round
and a flashlight is on the lanyard.

Or just keep a spare mag in there for you 1911!

Mark Knapp has more pics here.

--I hope it is a quality knife. Not a cheesy Rambo style Survival Knife. I have enough of those!

I found another nice hidden compartment furniture solutions for stashing some handy guns!

This solution is available from http://covertfurniture.com/

--You can order the dresser for $1300. I might try to modify a piece of furniture!

WANT: Cold Steel Trench-Hawk

I have been thinking about getting a Cold Steel Trench-Hawk to toss in the trunk of my car and forget about it.

I would wrap the handle top to bottom with paracord and then toss it on the bottom of the trunk of my car and forget about it.

The price is only $32 and I would not worry about getting it dirty or scratching it or using it for dirty jobs.

--The price is right!

Hidden Storage Solutions

I really like the looks of this hidden gun solution. Here is the Pricing: Click here

--Kind of pricy but a sweet configuration.

Head sets

A friendly reader emailed me this image because she knows how much I Love SBRs.

It got me thinking about communications gear including head sets.

I have several FRS radios. Maybe I should get head sets for them.

Any one have personal experience?

--Could be damn handy.

Humor: Tactical Cat

Tactical Cat is ready to deploy!

--I hope that cat is not shedding!!

Quotes of the Week

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.

― Thomas Jefferson

“The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.”

― Thomas Jefferson

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

― Jeff Cooper

“Guns are our friends because in a country without guns, I'm what's known as "prey." All females are.”

― Ann Coulter

“Foolish liberals who are trying to read the Second Amendment out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right or that it's too much of a public safety hazard, don't see the danger in the big picture. They're courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to eliminate portions of the Constitution they don't like.”

― Alan M. Dershowitz

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation.”

― Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf

My New Favorite Holster

For years I have been using a compact 1911 for my daily carry firearm.

I have moved to my Glock 17 recently because of the Galco Kingtuk IWB Holster.

This holster is comfy and secure and is priced well at $55 from Amazon.

I won't start a debate between the 1911 and the Glock because I like both. I will say I shoot the Glock 17 better because the sights are better.

--Carry your gun in a comfy holster. Otherwise you won't carry it.

Hidden Storage

Here is another example on how to create hidden storage that can also be very handy when you need it. Wandering through a home decor store I saw several pieces of art that would work great for this.

--An AR-15 is after all the best defense weapon.

Another Post and Run

What is your favorite camping gun?

I usually take a Glock 9mm and a Ruger 10/22. Depending where we go maybe even a Mossberg 500.

--What about you?

Mounted Shooting

I saw this photo of Sarah Palin on Facebook today. It shows her shooting while on horseback.

We see people shooting while mounted all the time in the movies and on TV. We take it for granted.

What you may not know is that it is a huge effort to teach a horse not to totally freak out and lose it's shit when a gun goes off.

I knew a guy long ago that was a horse trainer for mounted police. He had a paddock at the end of an airport runway. There was also a propane device that went off randomly like a cannon.

The older horses helped teach the new horses.

It took a while until the horses got use to the noise. They would eventually ride them in the noise, then finally fire a gun without getting thrown.

--Eventually they don't even flinch.
