Hidden Gun Stash Ideas
I love lists. I loves hidden compartments. I love guns. So I will follow their lead and make me some lists!
There is a vast array of commercial solutions you can buy to hide your guns:
- Hidden safes under your mattress, in the walls
- Behind working clocks
- Small safes under desks,
- Paintings and framed photos
- Safes that look like hot water heaters
- Furniture with built in compartments
- Fake gas cans
- Hollowed out books
- Modified furniture
- Hinged paintings or mirrors
- Hidden rooms
- Converted items like computer cases, freezers, grandfather clocks, scanners,
- Velcro'd holsters in furniture, fake plants, old boots, behind places
- Inside fake outlets, switches and vents
- Behind kick plates in furniture or kitchen or bathroom cabinets
- Fake stair risers
- Fake electrical boxes outside
Quotes of the Week
- Breda Fallacy
"Declining violent crime is the death-knell for gun control, and its supporters know it. Worse, the authoritarians in government know it, too. Add to that the spreading public realization that gun control doesn't make society safer, and another nail is hammered into the coffin."
--The Smallest Minority
- When they came for the Fourth Amendment, I said nothing - for I had nothing to hide.
- When they came for the Second Amendment, I said nothing - for I did not own a gun.
- When they came for the Fifth and Sixth amendments, I said nothing - for I had committed no crimes.
- When they came for the first Amendment - I could say nothing.
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."
--Ayn Rand
Cleaning Day
 |
| Good Clean Fun |
Every now and then I haul the guns out that I have not shot in a while and give them a once over.
I use to keep a spreadsheet that had all my guns, serial numbers, dates fired and notes about the session. It also had the full disassemble and a deep clean date.
The problem is that I have been a slacker and my gun log has gone out of date.
Mostly it got out of date because it was not handy, being on a computer in another room. So today I move back to a paper log that I will keep in its own pocket on the door of my safe.
--It reminds me that I need an interior light for my safe.
Yesterdays "Big" Anti-NRA March
 |
| Five sad pictures from today’s anti-NRA March |
Public Campaign, Occupy the NRA, CREDO, Every Child Matters, Moveon, United For Change, USA, New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, The Other 98%, and We Act Radio were all there. I will not be add links to these fools.
A generous estimate was about 100 people total. Not quite the million they wanted. They still made speeches. Still preached to their choir. Even the media was shaking their heads at how pitiful it was.
They timed this march to be the week before the Annual NRA convention. I wonder how many people will be there?
--Sad, sad, clowns...
Kids these Days
The kid apparently played it very cool and allowed them to take him away.
In one of the best "Fuck You" moves to the liberal fascists, he was cleared and returned to school wearing the very same T-Shirt.
--He and a ton of other kids that were wearing it in solidarity.
Hats
We were clearing closets when I realized how many hats I have. Probably at least fifty hats.
Granted they are mostly baseball hats. Usually purchased while on vacation to keep the sun off because I forgot to pack a hat for that trip.
Lots of shooting related hats. Plenty of camo hats for hunting and camping. Others designed to keep hot brass away from my collar. Industry hats with logos from Glock, Remington and the NRA.
Even a Hoplorati hat!
They keep my dome warm or cool and the sun out of my eyes and the rain off my glasses. All good for shooters.
--Do you have a favorite shooting hat?
Boston Bombers
The Boston Marathon Murderers had guns even though it was illegal to have them. Neither one of them had permits. Massachusetts is one of the places in the country with the tightest gun control.
Say it ain't so.
And when it got dangerous out there what did ALL the cops have? Evil Assault Rifles. The same guns that are "only good for war"? The same guns that are "only good for killing people".
Don't get me started about undeclared martial law police state tactics. If that had happened where I live there would be no searching of my house without a warrant or a lawsuit. And you can bet I would have had my AR15 at hand.
I hope this results in MILLIONS of dollars of lawsuits.
--Bad Guys getting guns illegally and killing people. Unpossible, you need a permit!!

Mixed Messages
Why would the Obama Administration seek to make it easier for immigrants to obtain firearms while, at the same time, it tries to make it MORE difficult for Americans?
I read an a post on Breitbart today:
"Normally, the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) requires legal aliens to live in a state for 90 days before buying a gun. The ATF does this through a rule attached to the Gun Control Act of 1968.
In June, Holder’s DOJ proposed to eliminate that 90-day residency requirement rule."
--I can't seem to see the motivations of these guys.
Let's Blame the Bomb
So when there is a shooting tragedy stupid people blame the gun.So why is no one blaming the bomb?
Thanks to every media outlet every nut-ball out there now knows where to find info on the Internet on how to make a killer bomb in their Kitchen! Oh and don't forget the rusty nails and the ball barrings.
Now we even have professionally created instructions with excellent graphics thanks to the media.
Let's also teach these villains how to disguise their faces from cameras.
Carry your guns people. We may need them.
--Can car bombs and suicide vests be far behind?
UPDATE: 5:30am - One bombing suspect is dead as well as one police and a member of MIT Security. Suspect two is on the run in a jacked car. I don't really trust any of these details, so large grain of salt...
Gun Control Slapped Down
The Bill was defeated as well as all the amendments.
Did you see the press conference? He had a tantrum over this piece of bad legislation? The biggest question I have today is why was President Obama more upset about this than the terrorist bombing in Boston? Maybe it was all the tens of millions of dollars that was wasted by flying Sandy Hook families around on Air Force One so they could be trotted out to be on display as people danced in the blood of their children. All for nothing. I don't think that's it. Because wasting money if a favorite hobby.
Look at the face on Joe "shotgun" Biden. He might turn into a muppet soon if he gets more frowny.
They took their best shot. They got our attention. Time for us to get busy. Time to join the NRA. Time to write your representative to thank them or to let them know that they have lost your vote and you are going to make sure everyone you know will be voting against them next time. Because now we know who the Death-Eaters really are.
I am going to stop leaning on all the people that are now crying in their coffee. No more talking past the sale. They will be distracted soon by something else. Illegal Immigration is my bet.
--We won. Now get up. This is no time to rest.
Marathon Bombing
 |
| "Hey, Joe! Get Walmart on the horn. I hear they sell bomb making supplies." |
I have come to hate the talking heads that just speculate with minimum facts. It has been released that the bomb was made in a kitchen pressure cooker with black powder, nails and ball bearings.
They started talking about how easy it is to buy black powder. How dangerous it is and how easy it is to make bombs with it.
Oh boy.
--Does this mean there is going to be a run on black powder now!?!

Just a quick reminder about Concealed Carry in VA. You can carry in bars in VA but only if you are not drinking. Unless you are a cop, then you are allowed to carry and drink all you like!
Here is the text of the law:
- §18.2-308 (J.3.): No person who carries a concealed handgun onto the premises of any restaurant or club as defined in § 4.1-100 for which a license to sell and serve alcoholic beverages for on-premises consumption has been granted by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board under Title 4.1 of the Code of Virginia; may consume an alcoholic beverage while on the premises. A person who carries a concealed handgun onto the premises of such a restaurant or club and consumes alcoholic beverages is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor. However, nothing in this subsection shall apply to a federal, state, or local law-enforcement officer.

Gun Control Water Down Again...
Some of the details are starting to come out. So far it is not as bad as I thought it would be. The proof will be in the real text of the full bill and it's amendments.
There is a big section of telling the states to do their damn job in reporting crazy people.
Expanding background checks at gun shows? VA already has these checks at gun shows. It exempts privates sales and loans of firearms with no reporting requirements.
The Internet Sales portion seems to be laying rules down for companies that will make Internets sales easier. That is odd.
It also has language that eases thru-transport of guns if you are traveling from stat to state.
The bill so far will not ban or take away anyone's guns, magazines or ammo, or create a national registry.
Hard core Anti-GunControl folks will not like it.
I love that it seems to be a big Fuck You to DiFi.
--The final text of the bill will be key.
Question Avoidance
I like some of these talking points. Relating their arguments to the 1st Amendment is great.
"You don't need the Washington Times, you have the Washington post."
--They are still going to try to ban. They are praying for more dead kids.

Democrats propose $10,000 fine for gun owners who don’t have insurance
From a reader:
Rep.
Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) and eight Democrat cosponsors have introduced
the “Firearm Risk Protection Act” (H.R. 1369) into Congress, the first
bill that would require liability
insurance of gun buyers nationwide.
She was joined in sponsoring the bill by Reps. James Moran of Virginia and Eleanor Holmes Norton of Washington, D.C.
The proposal was introduced into the House Judiciary Committee.
 |
| Add caption |
The
law would require gun buyers to have liability insurance coverage
before being allowed to purchase a weapon and imposes a fine of $10,000
if an owner is found not to have
the required coverage; service members and law enforcement officers are
exempt from this insurance requirement.
Attempts to pass legislation in several states have failed.
“We
have a long history of requiring insurance for high-risk products – and
no one disputes that guns are dangerous,” Maloney said in a statement.
“While many individual states
are debating this issue now, it makes more sense for Congress to
establish a national requirement to allow the insurance markets to begin
to price the risks involved consistently nationwide.”
Although
the bill would require gun owners to have “a qualified liability
insurance policy,” obtaining such coverage could be nearly impossible as
few companies offer that
type of product.
“Legislatures
can mandate, but can’t compel insurers to sell it,” said Robert
Hartwig, president of the Insurance Information Institute when asked
recently by IFAwebnews.com
if the insurance industry was prepared to offer firearm liability
insurance.
Currently,
guns are only insured as property in most cases, but bodily and
property injury due to accidental discharge may be covered under a
traditional homeowners policy,
akin to slip and fall incidents.
According
to Hartwig, most insurance companies understand the low probability of
such an event and do not even ask prospective policyholders if they own a
gun.
The
National Rifle Association currently endorses an “excess personal
liability” plan with up to $250,000 in coverage, administered by Lockton
Affinity. A “self-defense” rider
is also available, covering NRA members involved in an act of
self-defense.
The
six other co-sponsors of Maloney’s bill are Keith Ellison (Minn.),
Michael Capuano (Mass.), Bobby Rush (Ill.), Nikki Tsongas (Mass.),
Stephen Lynch (Mass.) and Earl Blumenauer
(Ore.).
--They try to hit every angle...

I have not been to the range for weeks because I am nursing a serious back injury.
I have been to six docs so far and I am probably heading for surgery soon.
Joy.
Ammo is still scarce around here.
No word yet on my two SBR requests.
Still saving pennies for my AR-15 suppressor.
Plus I am still waiting for control to be returned to the sane in various statehouses...

Quotes of the Week
"One cannot legislate the maniacs off the street ... these maniacs can only be shut down by an armed citizenry. Indeed bad things can happen in nations where the citizenry is armed, but not as bad as those which seem to be threatening our disarmed citizenry in this country at this time."
"Owning a handgun doesn't make you armed any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician."
"Remember the first rule of gunfighting ... have a gun."
"The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory."
"The will to survive is not as important as the will to prevail ... the answer to criminal aggression is retaliation."
"Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands."
10 Round mags
A friend sent me an email with a link to a craigslist add from a guy that lived in a restricted area and would straight up trade regular mags for 10 round mags.
I happen to have two of the evil things in my safe.
They came with the JR Carbine.
I sent him a quick email and we will be meeting at a Waffle House later next week to make the exchange.
I will exchange all his Evil relics for Good.
--Stupid politicians.
Suppressor Shopping
I have been reading on several forums and Youtube that using a 7.62mm suppressor on a 5.56mm is effective and has the benefit of the ability to use the same suppressor on other rifles.
I am leaning toward trying it with all else being equal.
Suppressing a .223 SBR is an interesting project. I really want a suppressor because that little bastard is damn loud!
I will also have to try a box of Subsonic .223 to see if it will cycle my rig. Here is a brand that says it will.
--Does anyone have experience with this configuration?

Racists
I was at a professional conference yesterday and overheard a gun control conversation.
The solution offered up was to allow people to buy guns but tax the hell out of guns and ammo.
$100 per bullet. $10,000 per firearm. And then he qualified it with the following statement.
"No tax for the government or police though."
It was then that I added, "Or criminals...".
They just stared at me. I continued in their own superior, intellectual, conversational tone, "If you bothered to take the time and look at the history of Gun Control in the US, that kind of plan has been used in the past to keep guns away from blacks and the poor. It is classist and racist." Total conversation killer. Love it.
I actually might have put a pebble in a couple shoes. Maybe.
--I am getting sick of these types.

You may not realize that most homeowner or renter insurance policies have a firm limit on firearms coverage.
I am looking for recommendations.

I am looking for a policy that will cover lost or stolen guns, ammo and accessories. It was also need to include fire coverage. I have a current full inventory with photos and serial numbers.
