Random Tuesday
I just got back from a trip to my home town just outside Buffalo NY.
Had to go unarmed. I hate that feeling. It has to be the same feeling some woman get when they suddenly realize they don't have their purse.
I will be signing books and chatting with readers again!
--I need to get back to the range soon. My son went without me this weekend!

Blogshoot!
Blogshoot 2015 is ON!
As before, we'll shoot in the morning/early afternoon, then adjourn for a nice sit-down dinner before going our separate ways. There will probably be a dinner on the Friday night beforehand too for those who plan to travel down the night before and grab rooms, and, as usual, money collected will be shared with the range and a charity to be determined, so it's for a good cause, darn it! Come shoot and hang out with some of the greatest folks on the blogosphere. Old NFO, Keads, Proud Hillbilly and Aaron from the Shekel are already roped in and others are being sought, so come add to the circus...and if it shoots, you can shoot it here.

Lots of Godwin This Week
"Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. "
The law states: "As an Inernet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
"Godwin's Law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons, and is often conflated with fallacious arguments of the reductio ad Hitlerum form."
Often in the gun ownership debate gun control advocates rapidly descend to invoking Hitler or the Nazi's. To me this has always signaled winning the debate. The Hitler card is usually played when logic won't help, or worse, when logic is against them.
--I find it also very amusing when they invoke Hitler but most don't know that Hitler and the Nazi's were huge gun control advocates.
September 11th
I will enjoy bacon, bourbon and pretty women in tiny dresses.
I will go to the range and make holes in targets.
Because I am free.

It was hilarious. I felt like kids. I will post it when its finished.
--He is 62.
