One law for us, another for you...

"The California state Senate voted 28-8 Wednesday to exempt itself from the pointless gun-control laws that apply to the rest of the populace. Legislators apparently think they alone are worthy to pack heat on the streets for personal protection, and the masses ought to wait until the police arrive."

"This is just one of many bills Golden State politicians used this legislative session to set themselves apart from the little people..."

Defensive Doors

I wish I knew the brand name of this door manufacturer!




--Looks like that guy finally woke up!

Schools are closed again

Less than an inch of snow this morning and all the schools are closed in the city and county.

I wish I could stay home and clean guns.

I really need to drag te guns out of the safe that I never shoot and give them a good clean and lube. There are some in there that I have actually never shot. Or shot maybe once.

Virginia to Vote on Bill to Allow Sunday Hunting

The Virginia House of Delegates is expected to vote on a bill that would reverse the state’s current ban on hunting on Sundays, allowing the sport on private property and public waters throughout the state – with a few exceptions – as early as this week.

With my back on the mend it would be all kinds of awesome to increase the number of days I could sit and nap in the woods!

--Sundays closer to nature!

Crime Stats Map

VA is the 4th safest. DC is the 51st. That is actually the WORST!

--I was surprised by some of these.

Rhino Arms: 12 Gauge

This one I find interesting: Rhino Arms 12 Gauge AR

All you have to do is swap out the upper on this Rhino AR10 and toss in a new mag and you have yourself a 12 Gauge AR Shotgun.

I have a Saiga 12 gauge now and I love it. But this rig would allow me to quickly swap out the upper on a .308 AR10 and suddenly I have an AR12. The AR10 takes standard DPMS mags and has five and ten round mags available for 12ga.

Can drums be far behind!

--That is a pile of Rock and Roll right there! Can't wait to find the price!

Cabin Off the Grid

Every now and then I get the itch to have a cabin in the woods somewhere. Here is one that I saw this morning with process and parts list for building.

I would add a hidden sub-floor gun safe.

 

--I like the tiny house movement.

Zombie Apocalyse Vehicle

Add a few gun ports and this Bug Out Vehicle will be ready for the apocalyse.

It looks like it has plenty of clearance to plow it's way through hoards of the un-dead.

I love it that people in the world have such awesome hobbies!

--I wonder what kind of milage it gets!

It's going to snow

It is an odd morning.

All the schools are closed, as well as the Federal Government. Even Frostbite University is closed. Why is this odd?

It's currently 39F and no snowing yet.

--Wish me luck, I'm going in!

Martin Luther King

I hope everyone has a good day.

I have the day off as a holiday.

It is worthy of remembering that Martin Luther King was a gun owner that knew that the police not only could not respond fast enough but might not be inclined to do so quickly because of their own personal political beliefs.

He knew he was responsible for his own safety. Even after his home was bombed, he was denied a concealed carry permit.

--Remember MLK. I am glad he was not a Saint.

Expect Another Spike in Gun Sales

"Movie producer Harvey Weinstein announced for the first time on Howard Stern’s radio show that he is making a full feature drama to try to destroy the National Rifle Association (NRA). Mr. Stern asked Mr. Weinstein on Wednesday if he owned a gun. The Hollywood heavyweight replied that he does not and never would. “I don’t think we need guns in this country. And I hate it,” the producer said. “I think the NRA is a disaster."

Two things are going to occur if this happens.

1. There will be another big spike in gun sales and 
2. I will never see another movie made by those involved. 

 --Full Jane-Fonda-Traitor-Style Embargo.

WANT: Short Stuff

The vid week continues!



If you pumped that slide would the drop handle hit the magazine?

--That would be such a fun, impractical gun!

Killer Women

Tricia Helfer as Molly Parker on Killer Women

Last night on ABC was the premier of Killer Women.

This has so many things I love. Sex, violence, action, adventure, beautiful kick ass women that are strong and competent, and some sweet guns.

It stars Tricia Helfer (from BSG!) as Molly Parker the only woman Texas Ranger.

--Check it out!!

How to Clean Your Glock

--Still editing my book! Enjoy this in the mean time..

Busy These Days

I just finished the first draft of my Scifi Novel. Last night I started the first edit. It has just over 192,000 words.

It was running over 1000 pages and it's time to cut it down to a reasonable size. My goal is about 105,000 words.

I started last night and managed to cut it by 52,000 already. That included the first three chapters and an entire subplot. That was easy because they were whole chapters.

I have given up TV for the most part, that was easy. I try to work at it two hours each evening.

--Now it's line by line revision time!

No Time Today

I am finishing my Scifi novel today or tomorrow.

Where the Hell am I coing for find a cover artist?

Snow and Wind

This morning it is 17F with high winds and -5F wind chill.

The snow last night ensured all the schools are closed today, but I still have to go to work.

I wish I could go to the range today. An outdoor range.

I like to practice shooting in all kinds of conditions. My guns function differently when it's super cold. When my hands are numb it's a challenge, wearing heavy gloves is so very different with handguns.

--Windy and super cold. Be careful out there.

Starting off 2014

So yet another year begins.

Having just looked back at 2013 I can't help but look forward to what I will be up to in 2014.

So far I already have plans on the calender. I will go to the NRA convention this year again. I will go to a few more big gun shows. I will attend a few Blogshoots or Blogmeet dinners. I will go to the range a dozen or more times. Spend some quality time with my wife and kids there. Maybe even an Appleseed evet or two,

I am also going to thin out my crowded safe. I will be selling some things on VA Gun Trader. I will probably buy a few things there as well. It's a great site if you are a VA resident.

I will do projects. I want to do a few builds. Figure out how to make my various triggers better. I want to do a light AR rig, a nice bolt action, maybe another 10/22.

--Here's to hoping everyone has a great year!

Happy New Year
