My Favorite AR-15
The one in the photo is my current favorite. I decided I needed one that was configured to be as light as possible.
It is simple, accurate, clean, no batteries required and very light. On a single point sling it is very comfy.
Even with the suppressor it is my lightest AR-15.
--Best of all, it is super reliable.
Lessons from the Blogshoot
Learned several things that I will be detailing this week.
The first is a simple: Batteries
Make sure you always have extra batteries for your EOTech scopes. Even if you don't need them.
By the way, if the last place you were shooting was indoors your unit may be adjusted so low that you may just think that your batteries are dead when in actually they are just fine.
--I have only made that mistake three or four times...

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
– Helen Keller
Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear...with the cry of grave national emergency.
– General MacArthur
Look not to the politicians; look to yourselves.
– Richard Cobden
Politicians are always interested in people. Not that this is always a virtue. Fleas are interested in dogs.

West Virginia Bound
I will not be shooting too much today. I will see how much my most recent injuries will allow.
I will take some preemptive Advil just in case!
Anyway, the social part will still be great!
--Big fun! Good people!
Star Wars
I was watching the new trailer for the next Star Wars movie and noticed something interesting.
There are clearly some guns in there that are built on AR-15 frames. Have a look.
--It is going to be tough getting tickets...

The Walking Dead
This episode showed the clear folly of not going everywhere armed during an apocalypse. In fact two hand guns and a rifle would be the minimum.
Carol was a total bad ass in this episode. The whole show played out real time as her casserole baked.
Loved it.
--Excellent episode.

– P.J. O'Rourke
What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race.

Science Fiction Weapons
I find that writing a story about firearms created 600 years in the future to be a lot of fun. I try not to use a lot of Handwavium in the concept but there is a dash of it.
Research on topics associated with this story has been very interesting. Real people have spent a ton of time and money trying to develop a man bearable energy weapon. So far its the batteries that are the problem. Some would be wicked if they work out.
On another note, some of these weapons are already in prototype for vehicle based energy weapons.
--Cooking out eyeballs for fun and profit!
The Assault Weapon Myth
In an amazing editorial the NY Times admits that “assault weapon” is a made up term created by anti-gun Democrats to scare low information voters. Stunningly they also admit there’s no proof the “assault weapons” ban had any impact on crime.
--Haters gonna hate.
Inventory
I was chatting with a shooting buddy yesterday about my suppressed Glock 17 and realized I did not have a photo of it in my inventory file.I have been such a slacker recently.
I need a new set of photos and features. Because for insurance you need to know all the options as well.
Here is an example in this photo. I spent more cash on the upgrades than on the basic .300 Blackout.
--Need more range time.
